Hi AC community,
I've got a Newsmy 7 inch tablet laying around gathering dust. It's not really up to muster for much as the screen is very low res, the cpu gasps at just running a web browser and there is less storage space than then end of my pinky. I've tried selling it but I can't seem to shift it, so I've decided to re-purpose it as a news ticker for my desk. I'd like to run a full screen widget or program on it that shows me news stories from my rss feeds. I would also like it to auto-refresh itself every 30 seconds or so and not require me to interact with it to keep it working.
I've tried a few programs like Feedly and gReader but the widgets don't work so well full size and the programs don't seem to have a 'kiosk mode' or any form of unattended mode. I surely can't be the only person who wants to use their device like this.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Craig
