Hi all,

Yes, it is still Android 1.5, a bit disappointing...

Fortunately, I have successfully installed two major reader applications, Aldiko and iReader, and both have been working flawlessly on the Libre|Touch.

Aldiko must be in version 1.2.6 and iReader must be 1.0.9.5, and here is the page that you can grab the iReader app from: http://code.google.com/p/ireader/downloads/list
Just click on the one that says "iReader Free 1.0.9.5 for Android 1.5", install it and you're set. For Aldiko, you can Google it up, or use this direct download link: http://www.freewarelovers.com/androi...ader_1.2.6.apk

I have also found a few more games that work on this device, however, they are a bit slow. If you are interested, you can Google up "FingerBowling" and "Jewels Hunter", both are ads supported, so you will see them at the bottom. Jewels Hunter does not fill up the screen, but FingerBowling does.

Last, but not least, please, folks, do yourself a very VERY big favor, install Dolphin Browser, it is light years faster than the stock web browser, and a joy to use on the Libre|Touch. Here is the direct download link: http://www.freewarelovers.com/androi...wser_3.1.1.apk

I haven't tried the latest Opera Mobile 11 browser yet, but I remember reading it does need at least Android 1.6. I will give it a try still, if it works, then great, if it doesn't, it won't break anything.

Happy 4th of July, and happy reading !
