The N800 seems to attempt to work this way for video streamed off the internet, but not taken off it's internal memory card. Also, video streamed off the net isn't resized to full screen, while video from the internal card is forced into full screen display without any user options. I'd be happy if given an option to display the video at it's native size. When my 512x288 at 29fps mp4 video is scaled to full wide screen, the video details are lost as well as is overall viewability. It chops the audio into short blips while individual video frames take 5 or more seconds to load. While the N800 doesn't technically lock up, the home screen becomes unaccessible so killing the essentially locked up video player is difficult to impossible without rebooting the machine. At least when trying to view this particular video. -- Always, Dr Fred C drfredc at drfredc.com
