hi, i'm a noobie, please go easy on me. just got me the pocket edge. hopefully you can offer recommendations. thnx in advance.

1] what application can i use to watch movies? what format (h.264, divx/xvid, etc), resolution, does the pocket edge take? (assuming will be using mp4 container)

2] any picture viewer you can recommend? what resolution is optimal?

3] how do you transfer data wirelessly from device to host computer? ( i have linux only and for some reason i can't get to load the right modules. )

4] how do i get to the shell/root access to the pocket edge? any application that least mimics the shell to do regular ftp/sftp, ssh, etc?

5] might be for a diff forum, but since i'm already here...
what microSD card type does the pocket edge support? i know it's up to 32 GB but can i use microsd hc (class 4? 6?) or it doesn't matter?

6] is there an application to turn off, let's say the reader when i'm checking emails? or how do i turn off android while i'm using the reader?
