Thumbs up Best decision ever!

I am so glad I returned my nook color and bought the elocity tab. I am having such fun playing with all the apps I've come to love on my galaxy vibrant and found a lot of new apps to play with. I recently updated the samsung to froyo which now allows wireless tethering. That is the best invention ever! I didn't even need to be in the same room as the samsung and it didn't lose the wireless connection on the elocity. I connected the elocity via hdmi to my hdtv and watched some online shows which was very cool. Discovering cool browsers like netfront has left me with about 5 browsers to choose from. I found a betterkeyboard.apk and shapewrite.apk and installed them both. I just like having options. Fun games like pinball, frogger, nintaii, etc makes the time fly by on my commute. I initially bought this to get back into reading via ebooks, but I've not read any of the free 70 books I've collected in the nook application.

There's not a lot of activity on this thread though. I guess that people are only posting when there's a problem. Oh well...happy surfin!

I like mine too. Thanks for listing that browser. I'll try it later.

I've been able to read so much more with the tablet. I returned the Nextbook 2 and 3 just before I bought this. I think this will suit my needs for a long time.

I'm enjoying mine as well. I bought it mainly due to the HW specs and Android OS and it's been a pretty cool little gadget. I am still figuring out just how to configure things the way I like. And I'm still toying with the various browsers out there. I like the built in one but I've grown fond of Opera-mobile too. I gave Firefox mobile a test drive but it's not quite ready for prime time yet as they say.

I have a stand on order from Amazon and that'll make it easy on the hands while I read the news over breakfast each morning. It's really fun to see the new Dexter Mods as well. Seems like every other week a new flavor is ready. Pretty slick.

How did you manage to d/l & install the Nook app? On the B&N site it says the Nook for 'all' android devices is just for smartphones
Thanks.

This is all new to me as of last Thursday when my Elocity A& arrived in the mail so please bear w/me and my probably annoying questions. So, what is dextermod and where/how do I get it???
When you say "it's available in the market" are you referring to the Nook app or dexter mod?
If I could get the Nook app on my Elocity then I think everything would be pretty perfect.
Thanks for all your help.

dextormod can be found in the elocity a7 development section, and the direction on how to install, be sure to read thread before installing to understand everything.

Our devices do not come with android app market, so you can not download most android apps with out the market, for example the nook app, which is proved in dextersmod
