@james these two issues (and I've just started) have me ready to return it. It is disingenuous to call the VOX an Android device.
Not yet, but me and several others are attempting to get it installed. The Vox is very easy to modify and I have experience getting the Google Apps working on other devices so I'm guessing it won't be long before we get it working.

As for the issues you're having, would you mind elaborating? I might be able to figure it out, or start working on a fix.


Edit: Also, the Vox is very much an Android device. The lack of market support is Google's fault, not Kobo's. I'll admit that the Kobo seems a little rushed to market and there are some strange bugs, but I've not found anything major and the nature of Android makes them far more easily fixed than on iOS or another close-source platform.
