It also remaps the volume buttons because the other launcher needs a back and menu tactile button.

Also, I read that this device is locked down to 66 Mhz - there's an app called "SetCPU" where you can increase that, with the assumption that battery life will suffer. I believe that it helps a bit with video playback, but still testing. Definitely helps with overall performance.
Well I did the mod last night. All seems good except I need to learn how to install the apps. Interesting that the Barns and Noble reader is not accessible from the Panda launcher which suggests that it is "embedded" with Pandigital's launcher (unless I missed it somhow).
