Re: N9 FAQ: facts vs. fiction
 
DLNA is media file streaming.

It's 'similar' to just having your files on your desktop and opening it on your client device thru a file sharing protocol (ftp/smb/nfs/etc). There will be buffering lags, the decoding is done by the end device* (may have codec issues), and DLNA end points are not as ubiquitous as HDMI ports.

*Ok, the server may do some transcoding too, depending on the implementation.

So basically,compared to N900 :

No FM transmitter (or at least not as good as n900's, which is moderate imo)
No Flash
No Keyboard
No MicroSD

And with Flop abandoning Meego, i'm gonna have to think twice before buying this product

better screen
better camera
better design
better cpu

The N900's physical keyboard lets me easily interract with websites that have keyboard shortcuts (eg desktop version of gmail). Does anyone know if the N9's virtual keyboard can be activated manually (without first having to focus a text field)?

Thanks.

Does the N9 media player support gapless playback of audio files? I thought this feature request was targeted for Harmattan ages ago but it looks like I was wrong:

If it doesn't, anyone aware of a media player that runs on the N9 that does?

same goes for flash ****it it should simply die.
I was looking around the other day for options to convert a normal TV set with usb port to a DLNA player. LG has a USB dongle for their TVs, for example, for a price of 44USD on Amazon -- USB dongle that has WiFi and DLNA support added to LG TVs. http://www.amazon.com/LG-AN-WF100-Wi.../dp/B003F9HH2W

I'm sure there are others too. Samsung has WIS09ABGN for their TVs. HTC sells nice accessory for any HDMI tv: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/....aspx?i=207009 though it is a bit off the price for me but worth looking.

if you are willing to pay so much money you can simply by a media player (dlna capable). there are several ones from acer, asus, sony, starting from 80€ (for example the SONY SMP-N100 or Acer Aspire RevoView RV100-1000).

That's the point -- I don't. However, options are out there. For example, all PS3s are DLNA players too and chances are that people have them at home.

I have PopCorn Hour which is DLNA server but not a DLNA player, unfortunately.
