need a file browser app that supports the following protocols

ftp,sftp, smb, webdav

also what is the best steaming app for videos.

i have found the following:

oplayer, buzz player and viplay

can anyone recommend a decent player that you can stream my videos and in particular my music.

cheers

Lixxus, I use File Browser from Stratospherix.

I use it to connect to shared folders on my Windows laptop and it can play (stream) MP4/MOV videos directly from the folder.

Not sure if it does FTP, SFTP and WebDAV though.

i thought it downloaded the video/music files rather than stream?

It only seems to download if the format is not natively supported by iOS. I have noticed it to start downloading a WMV file but I've never let it complete to see what happens.

I can skip right to the end of a Quicktime MOV or MP4 file so it must be streaming those.

we use gmail, we sync the each others calendar on both phones. i add both accounts as exchange accounts, and only sync my calendar on her phone, her calendar on my phone, but obviously our emails are synced to our phones too.

Me and the other half use Google calendars, i use Saisuke and she uses the stock app. works great.

This is how to do it iirc (for the stock app, Saisuke does it for you.), very easy - http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139206&topic=2747518&ctx=topic
