I'm thinking about purchasing an n800. one question I have is how well it plays tv shows online such as "the office" from nbc.com or likewise, shows from abc.com. i've read about issues with youtube and frame rates, can anyone tell me how well the n800 handles these videos? here's a link to episodes of the office?

I tried your link on my n800 but all I got was a screen with a black bar and NBC logo at the top and a big white box below it. Nothing else happened. Tried both the standard Opera browser and the add-in Mozilla browser with the same results. When I click the link on my PC I get a box with first "Loading Player", then "Please select an episode below". Clicking an episode (on the PC) starts a video which appears to be Flash format. I suspect there are incompatibilities between their flash player and the n800 OS/browsers. Maybe someone with the soon to be released n810 can try it.

I was able to watch an episode on my n800.
The audio played fine; the video at times became more of a slideshow.

Perhaps os2008 will improve things.
