Nice little toy...posting this with tablet now. Seems to work well.


One of my plans is to get a Chinese Android smartphone to use as a handheld computer. I like the five-inch phablet form-factor.

Rich, I may have to try out one of these tabs that you got. Toys...m...must h...have more toys!!!

I've decided the one thing that I hate most about Android is that it doesn't directly support printing from within the application...

I DON'T WANT TO USE GOOGLE CLOUD PRINTING!

Some new printers have apps in the store that allow routing to the printer from droid, ios etc. Private cloud stuff. I.e. Samsung Mobile print

Yeah, just what I want to do...go out and spend money on a new printer to compensate for a piss-poor operating system.

Do check the app compatibility before offering to sacrifice your hat

I'm still "dying" to try out a 10.1 inch Android 4.x netbook...and I'm still too paranoid that it will lose its OS install and become an instant paperweight.

That's what I like about 4.1, or at least my version of it on my little tablet...part of the OS is a full factory restore from a built in image file...or something similar.

Plus I made sure that when I ordered it that I got a copy of the factory image file...and they did send it to me. So unless I have some unusual catastrophic hardware failure, I'm good to go.

That's GREAT that they sent you the image file...I should ask the netbook sellers if they can provide this...but I suspect they are just sellers and not at the factory.

Why would you want to print from a tablet? Yeah, I can see the convenience when home, but really? that's what you have a problem with? It's a freaking tablet! When would you actually need to print something when mobile?
