Obviously I don't understand how all this would work or how difficult it would be to accomplish. But it gives me something to look into.
That screen really is nice.

If you (or anyone else) is interested in doing this, the hard part is setting up your desktop/laptop and then the Glowlight to talk to each other. Your computer needs to have ADB (Android Debug Bridge) set up. Thankfully, there is an easy way to do that if you have Windows. You can download and install a free app (program) called Minimal ADB and Fastboot. It will do the setup for you. Then, it's a matter of turning on ADB in your Glowlight. Then, running adb from a C prompt on your computer, and the Glowlight connected by USB, you can type ADB install (then the location and name of the app you wish to install). The app then gets installed on the Glowlight. That's the quick overview of how it's done.
If you have a Mac, ADB can be set up in Terminal. I did that on my Mac, and it makes the process quite quick and easy. If I could only recall how I did it...
I'll see if there is a good, thorough step by step guide for people who are new to such things. Or, I can think about it and see if I can put something together.
