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.

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.

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.

Otherwise if you want a closed audio/video player, I've always recommended
Archos.
