Ermine is the update to version 2.2 of Android adapted for the eDGe.

The main reason to update to it is to allow those apps that have a minimum requirement of version 2.2 to work. Please not that not all apps work even if they will work on a phone with 2.2 - the reason is that many apps look for phone hardware, and since the eDGe is a tablet it does not have things like GPS, accelerometers and so on, they won't load or work.

If you decide to go for the Ermine update read this thread first

then check every step at least twice before proceeding on to the next
