  • Its only a viewer not an editor. Still a start. I could not find it in the OVI store or On this website download section.

Im on the 3 network UK, so msn skype etc is free. Im not sure if the usage of the default app is free or not

    • There are 2 browsers I use on the N97 Skyfire and Opera. The N900 default browser cannot stream lag free Iplayer etc. I have installed Firwfox 1.0.0 and its does a better job but the mouse cursor does not work on this one like the default.

    • I sometimes download and send files. I certainly need the unpacking. Unrar and 7zip. For some reason some files unzip using 7zip so having both is a plus

    My issue is where can I find them and how do i install/use them. A little guide would help.

    For me its the first time having to compile/command software to run or install. So hope you understand that for the first time it can be a little difficult. Once I get it rolling then it will be simple.

    As you can understand the N900 smokes any other devices for capability. I can now watch videos in high quality res and format.

    I would like to know there is or if it is possible to port a video/audio converter to the N900.

    I cannot copy some video files to the PSP or other phones with lower res/format limitations.

    At the moment I am uploading on the N900 to online website to convert for me then download it again and bluetooth it to others.

    It would be awesome if we could convert a 5mb high quality vid to lower res or other formats which lay on other phones or PSP
