Yup, on both counts... Have you tried MediaBox?

That's the thing... I've had my N810 for years now, and I'm still tweaking it, getting it to work even better, finding some new app, or new way to use an old one. Nothing has come along to for me to say "Wow, I want something that will run THAT." I mean, the closest thing to that is YouTube videos... but I don't really care.

Sure, for your typical iPhone user, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time getting that piece of junk N810 to actually work... but I'm a geek and, well, that's called 'fun.' It certainly didn't do much of anything useful out of the box. Now, I'm at the other end. I guess my life has co-evolved with that thing to the point where it is doing near-exactly what I want. Now, every time I think about trying something new... I hesitate because I need it to be working right, all the time, all day. It's so useful it's actually annoying. That's why I want a replacement... not necessarily to replace it, but to be a replacement if necessary, so I can play again.

My daily routine is now dependent on an old piece of underpowered technology that has no corporate support and no obvious replacement. At least it still has a great community
