My least favorite feature of my EVA is...

What?

What do you want to see changed in the very next version?  What would be significant enough to get you to upgrade?

For me, it's probably the navigation of my files.  Seems like there should be a much more sophisticated way to browse content.  I'd like to see a picture-in-a-picture concept, like Windows Media Center has, so that I can continue to watch my media (whatever it is) and browse at the same time.

I'm with boss man. Navigation needs a revamp.

I'm not sure whether it's a skin thing or an OS thing but things like font size, more detailed customisable views and maybe even a customisable (or favourites) menu would be most welcome.

Some sort of torrent browser.
Showing %done, download speed, seed ratio, ETA etc.

To be honest, I believe the EVA-8000 BitTorrent Feature is the most misguided advertisement on this product. Not sure what kind of a marketing moron would associate a file transfer method (bit-torrent) and a file player (Eva-8000) and advertise it to this heights. To be fare Netgear needs to deliver some sort of torrent functionality ( IMO).

Thanks.

Concerning Music: I urgently need a means to forward and rewind MP3. This works fine for videos but not for music, at least not for MP3 - a feature every portable MP3 player supports!

Um, ever try pressing the "home" or "menu" key while content was playing?
