[clue] Google Nexus tablet

[Dennis J Perkins]

It looks thicker than the Nexus.  I don't know how the Cortex A9 compares to 
the Tegra 3.  However, it has a micro-SD slot, which the Nexus does not have.  
At only $109 it could be worth trying.

We used the GPS in the Nexus while we were in Portland today.  It was nice to 
see a larger map.  The Nexus also lets you download maps, which was very handy 
since we had to work in a place without cell phone service.  I don't know if 
Google has released that on anything other than the Nexus yet.

Been readin this email trail and I have to laugh to myself a little. For me, 
what I have is a 127 bucks delivered to my doorstep Zenithink,  and for that 
127 bucks I get the Zenithink, a leather case/stand/usb keyboard and 16 GBSDHC 
flash. This little 7 inch tablet is the exact design of the Vivaldi Linux 
(which is takin forever to hit the market, suppose to be around 270 buckaroos) 
the Zenithink comes with Android 4.0.3, its fast, has decent battery, good 
touch screen and resolution, mini HDMI and USB etc. yada, yada, yada... Oh, no 
GPS, eh who cares, I don't.

But the best part about this tablet is **it comes rooted** so you can install 
any lightweight OS you want. 

Why would I want to do that, you might be asking, weeeelllllll, because I can, 
I'm a geekoid, and I want the ability to run any OS I want on my tablet and 
for 127 bucks it is worth it. 

Right now I'm running Puppy Linux and love it. I might try a different 
lightweight linux, but right now da pup is doing everything I want it to do 
for me.

So in the words of McDonalds "I'm lovin it!"

Could you send a link to where you actually bought it from? I am looking at 
there website http://www.zenithink.com/ and I am not seeing an online store of 
any type. I also looked at http://zenithink.us/, the official US distributor, 
and I am not seeing any type of store that I can shop from. What model do you 
have? I did a quick search on amazon, but it does not look like they have the 
newest model on there yet.
