that's good a good reply (you can also do it by enabling windows media sharing in windows media player 11) but, I can't expect my friends to install tiversity or configure media sharing just because I want to copy files off there computers when everybody else with a laptop can. N900 is suppost to be powerful and I can see there are cifs/smb libraries available so there must be an app to do this somewhere (other than mounting it via commandline which removes the ability to browse shares)
