akkAny android experts? Or is that too off-topic?22:16
* akk is wondering if an android 1.6 tablet would be a stupid choice at this point, too old and orphaned22:17
dragonakk: I'm no expert, but might be able to Chime in.22:17
dragonakk: Has anyone installed a newer version of Android on it through unofficial means?22:17
akkIt looks like no. I haven't found any references to anyone upgrading android on any tablet beyond manufacturer-provided firmware.22:18
nhainesakk: that would be a horrible idea and you shouldn't do it.22:19
akkThat sounds pretty clear! Thanks, nhaines.22:19
dragonWe're looking forward to Android 3.0 tablets in very near future.22:20
akkDarn, since there don't seem to be any 2.x devices in the size range I'd like.22:20
akkI want a 4-5" screen, and the Archos 5 was looking interesting, but it's Android 1.6.22:21
nhainesI'm excited because it looks like I'm going to get to write another in print magazine article.22:22
akkwoo nhaines -- what magazine?22:23
