Thank you so much for the tip! I still dont' know if I could use this as the everyday machine. I still have an iTunes account, use Adobe photoshop elements, and need to install tax software. But it is a fantastic machine!

I picked up an Acer C720 with 2GB of RAM from amazon for $199. And have been using it for a few days. Why I bought one? I'm a gadget fiend and curious. When it first came out I was curious enough to enroll in the CR-48 giveaway but not enough to spend my own money- I felt like it was too...

The Kindles are a totally different beast from a Nexus tablet, or any other Android tablet. I owned a Galaxy Tab 10.1 before moving onto a Kindle Fire HD last year. A Nexus or Android tablet is basically bigger Android phone without the phone aspect. Everything an Android phone has, the...

I've heard some people complain of light bleed issues on forums. It's not normal- mine has no issues.

You can access your gmail account with the default email app and you can also sync your calendar with Google Calendar. It's nowhere near as robust as gmail, but it's there. I had already rooted my tab and had fooled around with CM roms.

To the OP: If you want a full-fledged Android experience or are a heavy gamer, don't get the KFHD. You're going to be disappointed. It's too locked down. It's not Android. That being said, I love my Fire HD 8.9" tablet. Much better than my Galaxy Tab 10.1. It does exactly what I want it...

Warning- I am not responsible for what happens to your Kindle if you follow these directions. Follow them at your own risk. The basics of sideloading Every app has an .apk file, which is the file you use to install the app on your Android device. The 3 basic steps to sideload an app are 1)...

I picked out a KFHD 8.9" over a Nexus 10- so I guess it's the same, yeah? PROS of the KFHD - a totally different experience (it's not a bigger version of my Android phone). Hence I don't feel like I dropped $300 for a 8.9", no cell-radio version of my phone. - you get full access to all Amazon...

Either this is stupidly easy or Noble-prize winning difficult... Right now I've got the .apks of chrome, dolphin browser, gmail, my uniqlo alarm and youtube 4.1.23 (not sure if this version will work on ICS) Using my old android tablet rooted with JB and installed ES File Explorer from Google...

It seems that sideloading apps is easy using ES file explorer. The only thing that concerns me is downloading .apk files from mediafire, etc which could be from a possibly questionable source. Is it possible to copy the .apk files from my old tablet and transfer them to my KFHD? Or is...

Update after using both for a few days. The look of the Otterbox Commuter in white is growing on me. The slickness of the case I got over, it was the buttons that was driving me up the wall and prompted me to change to the Candyshell. The first thing I noticed was the lip on the candyshell...

Well I had the Speck on for 2 days and I loved it. Really no issues with it at all. It's gonna scratch up, yeah, but I think it still looks great. I just swapped it out for the OB commuter. I haven't had a chance to use it yet...

Thanks! I was surprised by this too. A quick update- I went out to dinner and when I came back, there were a lot more scratches on the Speck (naturally I chose this because I think it looks better). Again, these scratches are not deep, and if the case is not under direct lighting, you don't...

Got my glacier otterbox commuter and malachite/grey candyshell, both bought on amazon.com Quick reviews Otterbox Commuter- $23.31 Style - It looks nice, but compare it to the candyshell? It's busted. But this is all about protection, so it's nice. I can think of several thinner cases that...

I'll tell you guys which one in a few days. I went to my local VZ store and they had the commuter only in black for $49.99 :eek: So I went to Amazon and picked up a white Otterbox commuter for $23.31. AND a malachite/gray (the funky green) Speck Candyshell for $26.57. Right now if you buy...

I'm looking at the Speck and have some questions... 1- How difficult is it to remove the case? I like to wipe it down every other day to avoid crud scratching up the phone. 2- Has this scuffed up the phone? I'm also looking at the commuter as well. I hate buying cases because I can never...
