James,....THANK YOU! I think my Vox is awesome,...am having a ball with it. The 7 inch form factor is what I was looking for (but at the time...didn't know it, lol) and ICS would be such a boon and boost to the product experience. Let's face it...yes this is a dedicated eReader, but the Vox truly goes beyond that design envelope. You have a great offering here...and ICS would truly be a wonderful 'corporate thank you' to all that have decided to invest with Kobo, rather than any other business competition.

Please ask Kobo to give this serious consideration. I believe that your specs and product will handle the O.S. I must say that I use the Net about as much as I spend in time, reading. The fact that the Vox comes in at 7 inches had been no impediment to my Net cruising enjoyment. A quick double-tap, and the page re-formats to an easy read. Great fonts, the ease of back light intensity, and a beautiful colour display....what a keeper. Please forward this post to any and all that would be making the decision whether to proceed with porting ICS over to the Vox.

I am most confident that you will get all birth pang bugs removed from this product.

Edit: That the Vox comes in at a single core 800 MHz does not deter me. I remember the Intel Celeron days of only 450 MHz single core, and that speed ran Windows and every other app and game of the day. I think we are becoming CPU frequency speed 'jaded'. 800 MHz is a fast chip! Especially for what the Vox is/was designed to do. I have no problems with it, or wouldn't have purchased....

Regards,

Mitch
