Yup she is a dandy...once you have it paired with a phone it makes the device quite mobile. For myself I tend to simply download pages for offline viewing or update my podcasts before heading out the door. Right now in the area I live in the cable/ internet provider made a deal (big test project) and so for the next 5-10 years the entire area is blanket wifi'd ....free....(within reason of course....and you have to be signed in with an account with the provider...even so..).....not tooooo shabby

As far as transcoding vid here is my net result after years of testing so many methods.

batch conversion is great in it ....and tweaking the output film size you can essentially include ALL of a film that otherwise would be pared away at the edges to enable nokia screen fit.
In other words tweaked properly you don't get the standard 2 horse chariot race from ben hur...you see all 4 horses on the chariot.
I have all my cult classic film as well as the complete works of shakespeare transcoded on my n800.

When you are at home...you can vnc nokia transcoded video from a host pc as well...via wifi...so working in the den/ study/ garage/ shop/ studo/ or workshop...you can have a ton of stuff available to watch or listen to as well.
Sooo many fun things to do. Sooo little time
