droid for now

The droid does not support streaming video in the browser.  Pretty much at all, though nobody actually says so: there's all kinds of noise about how to convert your videos so you can play them from the SD card, and people answering questions that weren't asked, but based on the 83'd bug against Android (I filed number 5756 this morning) it just can't be done.  Not much help when you want to be able to watch a live feed from a security camera, or stream a motion capture clip.

Of course, the pr0n folks have it figured out, but since there are no quality open source Real Time Streaming Protocol servers available--and even if there were I don't want to install, configure, and harden one--that's not really an option open to me.

In order to do what I really want with this thing, somebody needs to

• Support streaming video in the standard browser

• Support client certificates across all apps (at least browser and email)
  

• Get an IMAP client that has a reasonable interface to a hierarchy of folders

All the other stuff (adding root certificate authorities, getting OpenVPN into my network)---that I can handle, but these are a bit much for a weekend project.

Oh, and will somebody please tell Google that in this world of distributed collaboration a calendar that doesn't associate a time zone with an event is just stupid?  Another story....

So the priority of getting the OpenVPN connection working dropped a little bit, and it's time to go back to CC430 tool chain support.
