Great. I got a micro SD card and rooted today.

I'm not sure if it went off 10x10. I followed the guide at:

I ran into two bumps:

My NC was on, but sleeping when I put the imaged card in. I plugged it in, and it woke up but didn't seem to be doing anything. After ten minutes, I slid the button to unlock it. It went into USB mode, and I let it sit for another ten minutes. Nothing.

I disconnected it and powered it off. It wouldn't power on. I removed the card and it did power on, and told me to touch the android, then proceeded with setup.

I was concerned for a second that it kept referring to the device as a phone, but I know that Android OS is usually on phones so that didn't bother me.

Everything looks exactly the same. I have the YouTube and Gmail apps, plus a bunch of others. I'm still learning how to use it, as I've been a diehard iPhone OS user for several years.

I got my gmail/youtube/market running. Is that it? My custom wallpaper carried over, and everything. I've tried to run through the rooting process again, but haven't been successful.

Thanks for your input!
