So, It’s installed and running – How does it look?

Getting these screenshots was not easy!!  You better appreciate them :P.  (Personal plea to the gods of Android: There has got to be an easier way to get a screen shot besides rooting your phone, or loading the SDK!)

What about performance? That’s where I sigh my head. I’m not sure if android is to blame, or the tablets hardware, but if I run NITDroid for even 10 minutes straight it starts to lag tremendously. The screen touches take seconds to register and click, apps open slowly, etc.

Despite that, I do think this is pretty sweet.. it’ll definitely let me get used to feel of the android OS until I get my hands on a real phone, and it gives me something to use my Tablet for again ;). I just wish I could find (or they could port if it doesn’t yet exist) the Android Market on here to add the near 5k applications over there. There is a small software application that has SOME, but looks third party and not official. Also, some of the settings (like Date & Time) do not save over reboots, which can get very annoying.

But still, it checks my email, browses the web, and does all kinds of other fun things in the Android system – hopefully it keeps me occupied for a little while!

Till next time.
