This is a bigger deal than people might realize. If Android actually exposed more of the Linux underpinnings it might be somewhat useful to me, but as it stands it is essentially just a toy. Unless and until I get a full-power OS (preferably a real BSD Unix) on a tablet, no amount of peripherals, ubiquitous network connection, and internal power will make up for the simple fact it's just a damned toy. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --E13BgyNx05feLLmH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk4oWpkACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVOdgCgjhuCVcw2bgtcRKEsFJjTy7xr 9S0An3K2ONf73t6Gqfdet1uT1EoCp3mW =+RgH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --E13BgyNx05feLLmH--
