I can see how the media stuff is useful if you don't feel like bringing more than device along. But I sure wish Nokia would focus on providing enough RAM in these devices to make it possible to even run the media applications. My E70 can hardly run the browser alone...it runs out of memory within a couple of pages. As you can imagine, you can forget running the media player with any another apps open in the background...such as "Contacts" or messaging. It's even more fun when the phone won't open any apps due to "out of memory" errors even when there aren't any other apps running. Thanks to Symbian 9.1's completely closed system, pretty much the only ones who can write software to fix these deficiencies are Nokia in the form of firmware updates.
I have a 2gb mini SD card. Why the HELL can't some of that space be used as RAM? All this nifty functionality is useless if you can't run the apps!
