Talking [APP] Install Busybox

I wanted to post this to my fellow Xoom users since I found the Xoom didn't play very nice with busybox (hope it's in the right section). I also noticed the app to install busybox on the market didn't work well so I decided to make my own. I'm posting it here for testing but I plan on having it being a free app on the market.

The layout wasn't directed toward a tablet but still looks pretty plus it should work on all phones.

Let me know how it goes.

Got it to work on my Xoom. I got the root message the first two attempts at running it, saying my device was not rooted, went to Superuser and forgot busybox twice, got the message to allow busybox again, then it launched ok. I was able to download and install busybox. Nice!

Does this replace Busybox if an older version is installed already?
