For wanking; it still has Safari, and Pornhub still exists 👍🏽

    Good luck streaming a 30 to 60gb video.

    It works great with my DLNA server and can play in stereoscopic 3D with the moon viewer app

    Spoken as someone who clearly has never used a VR headset for any sort of video content. To get even passable framerates at resolutions that don't look atrocious, you're looking at multiple GB for scant minutes of VR video content.

    Unless you just want to watch the same crap you already do, but on an effectively building sized flatscreen, bandwidth and even local data storage and transfer rates become an issue fast.
