My initial criticisms on rendering still stand though, and I if there is an option to "fix" this, someone please mention it because otherwise I'm going to sound like a real douche.
@ Spiffy: I agree, I would love to see the author add some sort of throbber on the screen to let you know the function is loading and perhaps a loading bar as well to show actual progress. Visual feedback is always a good thing. I noticed on first boot of the software always takes a while. I guess it must be doing some sort of set-up, but without any feedback you are right that it is hard to tell if it actually working or has failed.

Well, at least the version I posted about had those little circles which appeared to tell you the unit is "thinking". The problem was that if you touched any kind of button while it was doing so, the unit locked up.
I find myself using the Sony boot choice more often lately. The ability to browse through the metadata is a hard thing to lose (also, I think as I mentioned, the jump ten pages functionality is something I use a lot, and this alternate firmware for some reason just doesn't do it).
