Until B&N pushes an update to unroot it...wow...

Here's the best part.

Plus he mentions giving you access to parts of the android app store. Um...which part would that be exactly?? And all for only $400! Wow. Pity some poor sucker is going to fall for this.

Well, he's mostly right about the "full fledged android tablet" part
I see dead phones, calling around just like regular phones.

Oh, you mean that he only buys them AFTER someone pays...

Pretty slick, but man I could NEVER do that to ANYONE.

If he is, he better put some change in the Cyanogen tip jar.

Well, i can't really blame him though... he's only catering to the "ignorant, can't read simple directions" or the lazy bunch out there.

Ugh. You'd think that someone attempting to sell products would have a better grasp of grammar and spelling.

They don't exactly mention that they do anything more than just rooting the device. Some poor sap is going to buy one, receive it, fire it up and look for Angry Birds and cry. Like others have said, they'll think that it's running Android 2.2 and has access to Android Market. Fail.

He's from Milton, WI. I've been there.

lol, all his feedback is as a buyer, and some from the same vendor I believe (as feedback is a copy/paste) and he touts "100% feedback." Wow. I hope he loses money when someone complains and PayPal takes their money back.
