Put CyanogenMod9 on that device, pronto. :) My touchpad is loving it. Android is quirky. Not so bad when you get the pure variants, but because of the hardware differences, even rooting is awkward. My Droid RAZR can't get a CyanogenMod9 or 10 for a while, and Eclipse, while a nice ROM, was missing some things I cared about.
My Verizon updates have made things slower than not, and they just released v4.0, so who knows when I'll even see v4.1 much less v4.2? No thanks. The land of mobile anarchy is not for me. *ASB* *http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker* <http://xeeme.com/AndrewBaker>** *Providing Expert Technology Consulting Services for the SMB market…* On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 3:23 PM, Matthew W.
