    Post [webtop] webtop2sd discussion (currently version 2.0.1)

    First, this app is awesome, but I'd also like to know if we can use multiple sd cards somehow? I'd like to play around with webtop and some of the other options that also require this app. Or even the same sd card but different partitions? What would happen if I tried swapping sd cards? I assume...

    Ok... first I have a pretty good idea of scientific methodology with 4 years of bio/chem lab research and over a year of grad school. Maybe I wasn't being clear enough but I don't recall saying the cause of "mobile phone use [resulting] in a tiny bit more brain activity" made the effect of...

    Post Anyone using Atrix 4G unlocked on T-Mobile?

    It will always be slow since its on 2g, nothing you can do. Why aren't there laws that make it so cell phones are all interchangeable? Something like consumer freedom so you can buy any phone you want and use it on the carrier of your choice.
