I found an app called AirDroid, which will allow any computer/OS to 
wirelessly connect to GalaxyTab, its quite good and will upload large 
files very quickly, but, I have yet to find a way to view the files on 
the Tab, cant play vids, even though I have installed various Movie 
players......how do you gksu nautilus so it works? I have even tried 
sing a DVD player, but cant seem to get that to work either......what 
DVD/Movie player do you use?
