If so, it has not been reported on this forum which leads me to think the answer is NO.

You should see Globe2Go ePaper and INQ Home Live running. In terms of third party apps installed, there is: Globe2Go ePaper Merriam-Webster Dictionary INQ (includes People) Press Reader Rdio Scrabble Free Zinio (I think that Facebook and Twitter are just stubs). Then there are the Google apps, which I consider third party and don't use (outside of the Play Store and the News and Weather widget): Gmail Google+ Latitude Local Maps (runs as a service) Messenger News & Weather Play Books Talk YouTube Looking at the above, there must be processes that are running but not listed because I use the News and Weather widget yet it isn't listed anywhere. |

Coming from a place where the word "root" means either to have sexual intercourse with or to destroy, this thread raised an eyebrow.

Globe2Go looks to be part of the Globe and Mail e-Paper (G & M is a national, Canadian paper).

Scrabble ain't that special. You could download it from GetJar and it is a subscription based service (with no discount for Vox users), so there was really no point for including it from the end user's perspective. |

Are you kidding me? The reason Kobo includes it out of the box is blatantly clear...their bottom line. They get money from Hasbro, Inc. for having it pre-installed. Simple as that.

![]() Judging from the permissions this program deserves to be classified as spyware. Why else does a game need permission to access to your address book or phone's state (e.g. phone number, who you are calling, etc.)? Thankfully the Vox isn't a phone so they can't learn to much there, but still! As a kicker, it even has permission to turn your Internet connection on ... so turning off your WiFi/3G isn't enough. Now I don't know if it does all of this stuff, but the fact that it has permission to is certainly suspicious. So yeah, there is some stuff that I just want to remove on my Vox. |

When you read the description of Scrabble for Android it's obvious why it needs those rights...

I live in Iowa, in the US, I have both Globe2Go and Rdio. The Scrable really bugs me, it takes up a good bit of memory and spelling is the only subject that I've ever flunked. |
