If you are watching movie files at home, you can stream anything using an app called boxee. Essentially you use your main laptop or computer, install boxee on that then you share the folder with your films with the boxee program. You can then stream over your wifi connection avi, mp4, flash... Whatever... Boxee plays them all.

I assume this works outside the house, so as long as your main computers running you should be able to acces the files as long as you have an internet connection.

As for watching stuff without a wifi connection and using the iPad as a media player, it is a major pain in the arse sorting out the files. Reencoding, etc.

I actually love the iPad, but I use it mostly for the music apps. Great drum machines, weird ambient apps, lots of innovative ways of making music for Luddites like me. Also, as a film maker its a great tool for sharing work in meetings.

Suggest a free drum machine for me plz

Korg Electribe for $9.95 or whatever it costs is a wicked app.

Also Native Instruments Maschine for iPad is free.

Let's start a production duo. Like Daft Punk.

We can call ourselves Blak Russian.
