Since the N800 is not suitable as a portable media player, why am I successful taking it with me on 7-mi jogs every other day? Why have I listened to infinite numbers of audiobooks on mine? When you say not successful, you are overgeneralizing. It works great playing mp3s and other stuff. I have never been theoretically happy with the idea of playing videos on a small screen anyway. And while I'm jogging I don't usually want to watch a movie. Certainly I've enjoyed watching Textra often enough. And Katie Couric. And I did watch Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, and some Netflix films, and listened to infinite numbers of radio shows and Verdi operas and issues of the audible Economist and Russian lessons. So, you are saying that none of these things work??
