</div></div></blockquote></div></div>I use a Nokia Internet tablet (N800) which has a port of Mplayer, and some good utilities are available. I tend to use tablet-encode in a modded myth2ipod script for encoding for viewing later, and mediaserv, which'll generate a webpage with your recordings, and transcode/stream in real time.<br>
<br>It'll even run mythfrontend! Not seen an Ipod do that yet! Also runs a decent browser, xterm, and vncviewer for remote access to your mythbox.<br><br>The N800 (if you can get one) will take upto 2 full size sdhc cards upto a max of 64G, and the N810 a single microsd up to 16GB, but it has 2GB onboard.<br>
<br>Otherwise if you want a closed audio/video player, I've always recommended Archos.</blockquote><div><br>OP was looking for <$100 devices...<br><br>Kevin</div></div><br>
