    Re: Cool FREE apps for tablets/smartphones

    The apps for the Iphones are a completely different sort of program than

    those for the Android phones/tablets.

    My current experimental tablet is a cheapy aquired at Big Lots .

    99 dollars plus tax.

    It (soundlogic xt) has a real keyboard.

    The back of the computer is held in place with about ten small phillips

    head screws. Going into the device, an external antenna jack can

    be McGuyvered onto a small flat area at the back.

    When a decent antenna is hooked up, this is a more pleasing experience.


    I managed to get skype, adobe pdf reader, a terminal emulator etc installed.

    Android 2.3 .

    All in all, quite fascinating little gadget.

      There are 2 full size usb ports and a regular SD card slot on the computer.
      There are audio out and microphone input jacks.

      800 mhz cpu. 256 ram.

      I recently got a d2 tablet at Big lots for comparison.

      It has a gig of ram and a 1.2 gig processor

      The video output is much better and the wifi radio much more sensitive

      but I still miss regular usb ports and the lack of a real keyboard.

        There are currently running , two d2 tablets at big lots.

        Each are 79.99 but one has a gig of ram and the other 512 kb.

        The easy way to spot the one gig variety is that it has rainbow on the front

        of the box.

          The Diablotek d2 has a short cord in the packaging called an otg
          or on the go adapter. Don't lose this.
          It enables connecting external hard drives and wireless mice and keyboards.

          I tried a 320 gig seagate go-flex and it saw the contents.

          An external drive really taxes the battery of the tablet so try and use a powered

          usb hub if possible.

          A logitech wireless mouse and keyboard bought on sale at target

          were recognised and work.
