Dear yifanlu,

Just want to show my gratitude for your wonderful work on bringing 3.1 to my dxg and mention a few points I observed after two weeks of usage. Perhaps, it might be useful to you or to other people.

1) Battery will drain overnight if 3G is on when the dxg goes to sleep.
2) Slow wake up from sleep (15 to 20 seconds)
3) The browser sometimes gets into the "Kindle 3 mode"; namely only a part (upper left cornor) of the screen becomes active. The active area is similar to that of screen size of the Kindle 3.
4) Text to speech is not as good.

All these points are OK with me except 3). The only way I can get it back to normal is by resetting the machine. I would be nice if there is a small trick to kill the browser and restart again in normal way.

Thanks again. Now, my dxg becomes MUCH MUCH more useful with pdf files.

TT
