Help Baffled about Media Player

I just got my Tablet 10.1 about a month ago and have been playing around with it since. I have found a couple of things that baffle me and was wondering if anyone here would know the answer.

Okay..

First, I have downloaded a couple of movie apps and my tab keeps telling me that I have to download a media player and if I don't have one to go download it and if not available my tab doesn't support it....or something along those lines.....weird thing is that I already have Adobe Flash Player 10.3....is this not the same thing? **Confused**

Second, notice that there is no USB or memory card place so my question is.....is it possible to take pics, music etc. from my laptop (window 7) and transfer it to my tablet?

Third, I went on the internet and bookmarked Netflix but realized now that I have to be within the WIFI range in order to watch them (I am assuming as I'm new to Netflix). If so, does anyone know of any apps where I can download movies and have them available when not within WIFI range (i.e. a plane).....this is of course provided that I get some sort of media player!!

I have to say that so far I am not sure I'm liking that much about my tablet....definitely not what I expected.

Thank you to anyone and everyone who may have a thought, idea, or suggestion as to how to solve these solutions.

Flash Player is for Flash media only, not any media.

Sure, just connect your tab to the PC and copy/paste the pics, music in respective folders.

Any movie in WMV or h264 will play fine. In fact, if you copy over an MPEG to the tab, it can convert it as it copies it...works pretty good.

As for movies, I don't stream so you'll have to find that on your own.
