My cell phones, laptops, and PDA's have no problem streaming media, I would expect that as an "Internet Tablet" this would be second nature. The internet is no longer just text (bbs). What is the point of the increasing connectivity speeds if all we need the internet for is text.
Sure we're talking about different use cases here (streaming doesn't help me when I want to watch a recently purchased movie on the train, and when I'm at home I wouln't dream of watching it on anything else than on my large TV).

I only wanted to point out that the topic "Very disappointed in N800 video capabilities" could scare off those who want to use the N800/770 as a multimedia device (as I do) and don't care about streaming. It's the marketing person in me speaking.
