    In praise of a small screen phone

    Jelly Bean and Sky Map apps-

    Howdy gang - Is there any known issues with JB and sky-map apps? I don't actually use the SKY MAP app, but I use SkiSafari and SkEye. Since the JB update, they don't follow the phones movements to track the sky, instead they both just randomly float around... Help?

    Is the Kindle Fire the NookColor upgrade "we" have been wanting?

    So on that other thread, there were a lot of people wanting an upgraded, duel core Nook Color. The new KF seems to be a nook-beater in most "tick box" comparisons (only thing it lacks is an uSD). Anyone with a NC planning on ordering a KF? Myself, my NC is doing everything I ask of it, so...

    As I understand it , the "standard" tether apps (barnacle, wifi tether) used with the D1 only generate "ad hoc" networks... Does anyone know of a way to get an "infrastructure" wifi network out of the D1? Is there an app for that?

    Howdy- I am still trying to figure out how to get my NC to boot off a SD with android on it. Most all the instructions start with "first make sure your NC is rooted"... then refer me to a thread that installs Cyanogen or some other ROM... Is there a way to root and keep the "stock" BN 1.2?
