That's funny.... My MC Smartlists do update my iPod Video...
For example, I created a smart list that list all of the new songs that I imported into MC in the last 30 days, and everytime I sync, the content of the Ipod is updated according to what is currently displayed in the Smartlist....

What trott said.
Yes, the 'smartlists' sync to the iPod - but they become 'dumb' once there.
Example:
In iTunes, create an 'unrated' smart play list on the iPod. When using the iPod, the play list stays 'smart'. If you rate a song, it drops off the play list.
Now in MC, create the same smartlist and sync to the iPod. When using the iPod, the play list is 'dumb'. It shows the songs that were unrated as of the last sync with MC, not the songs that are currently unrated on the iPod.
If you sync your iPod constantly then this may not be a big deal, but for those of us that travel and are away from our music library for long periods of time the only solution is to fire up iTunes and recreate our smart play lists after EVERY sync with MC.
