Did anyone test connecting to a VPN via encrypted PPTP? That still doesn't work properly on Android 2.2 and 2.3. Couldn't find out yet if Google fixed it for 3.0.
Someone did post on XDA-Developers that they got OpenVPN running though. But PPTP would be much easier. |
Yes. It was worse than waterboarding. I could only take it a week before I gave in.....even signed up for a data plan.
Here's my first impressions: The screen is incredible -- very bright and colorful -- still not great in direct sunlight but almost usable. The one thing that didn't come across to me from the demos was the significant glare from the shiny (mirror-like) screen. It definitely has to be properly positioned.
But....The Browsing experience is INCREDIBLE -- tabbed browsing and instant on!
The built in book-reader (google primarily) is very nice.
The Kindle App is just like on my droid. No real change .. it does fill the screen.
Some apps are still (text edit) for phone-sized screens and only display in "tiny" mode.
The stereo speakers are great.
The navigation is a bit different (there are no dedicated buttons -- I wish there were) Some things were a bit confusing at first.
More later, but all in all I'M LOVING IT!!
Oh. I do wish it could be charged by USB but it can't -- only by the charger/power plug which is tiny and looks like it might get broken quite easily.
Oh the other thing -- at least at Costco -- the price discount (from $799) depended on the dataplan you bought. It had to be the 5GB/month to get the $200 off. With the 3GB plan I got $150 off.
