To simplify, I think MIME types are the best way to communicate
between activities.
Spreadsheet data can be text/csv, image data can be image/png, plain
text can be text/plain etc.
That's currently what's supported by the clipboard anyway. All
activities have to do is implement a little more adv

Great. So do you think the problem was the SoaS image or FAT vs FAT32?
I do recall that OFW used to be finicky about USB keys that no longer

Interesting idea. I don't see why this couldn't work; I am not sure of
the security implications, but I don't see why collaboration always
has to be between two identical activities.

If you can tell me just which image you have, I can try with that one.
Same behavior with the SD card in or out, and on the other XO with no

Hey Sean,
FWIW I have successfully booted my XO-1 from SoaS-1 using an older image, I
haven't tried the latest. I used LiveUSB Creator for Windows with a PATRIOT

What you might be seeing is that you have a SD card with a bootable
partition on your XO. I think that might take priority
