[ale] OT: a interesting new Android 4.04 based toy to play with

[Scott Plante]

Thanks for this. They also have a 7" one on sale for $60. I got one for a family member as a gift, so I haven't opened it. I'm sure it's no Nexus 7 but that would have been well out of my price range. Hopefully this will be worth the price. 

Big Lots isn't nearby and I wouldn't have thought to go there, so thanks again for the heads up.

Guys, 

for anyone on the list who likes tinkering with Android devices, Big 
Lots currently has a Emerson 4.3" Android 4.04 (Ice Cream Sandwich) 
device that they are selling for $50 dollars. 

I picked one up and have been having a lot of fun with it. I 
discovered that it was already rooted (just needed to install the 
superuser binary), and that it was super easy to install the Android 
Market on it. 

It's a nifty little device. I'm not sure how long it's gonna stay on 
sale. The normal price for is is $60 dollars. 

I'm going to use mine in place of my old Ipod Video. It works great 
when used with doubletwist to sync my itunes playlists. :) 

Anyways just wanted to share this, sorry if I went too far off topic.
