Looks like Eur 19.90 shipping to UK, and they don't seem to take credit cards, as far as I can see. Pity, they have some nice stuff.

There is a Samba package for the PMA430. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently it's quite good. However, no video or image streaming exists for it and there is only a very rudimentary audio streaming package. But that's actually not bad: I need my 770 to have the edge in some fields.

Don't ask about the 604; I only "do" real computers, not glorified VCRs.

The 770 cannot access Windows PC files (that I know of). I am more interested in computers myself than PSP type devices.

There are several entries in the Wiki-howto's devoted to accessing Windows shared folders from a 770:

The French site definitely takes cred cards, dunno if they'll ship abroad though. Germans seem to be more into money transfers, but I've already ordered from German sites this way.

UK?
The floating plug at the upper left of the picture is a female A plug, so for most practical uses you shouldn't need anything else, that's the beauty of it :-)

Thanks, but I meant doing it without voiding the warranty.

How does doing any of this void your warranty ?

I'm curious about that as well.

Sorry I wasn't specific. It's not accessing image files on a Windows PC that voids the warranty, it is the prerequisite step of hacking the 770 to gain root access that voids the warranty. I believe the topic was discussed here or on maemo.
