I've been lurking these boards for several months now and from what I can tell my girlfriend opted for a very solid little tablet (birthday present)...got it last night and have been playing with it all day and I have a few questions.
I am very comfortable with ADB, ROM flashing, nandroid, etc -- I've been hacking and cracking my HTC Hero (Sprint, not GSM) since last February so I feel very comfortable in the Android world. I am NOT a developer though.
Here are my questions:
1. I tried playing Raging Thunder (as shown in a demo video of this tablet) to see the graphics (I've no interest in playing games on it, but I did want to make sure the graphics looked like they should) and there were a lot of white blocks where other graphics obviously should've been. She ordered through Merimobiles, but this sounds like a software problem and I didn't see the need to bug Phil. I also tried playing Angry Birds as it is also a 3D accelerated game and same problem.
2. Random reboots -- has anyone had this happen to them? I could be merely listening to music and it will lock up and display the android boot screen -- it is within the realm of possibility it could be the stock launcher and i'll try out launcher pro to validate this theory.
3. RAM usage -- I've noticed everyone else has about the same amount of free RAM as I when in a holding pattern, but the back button doesn't always close apps (on my phone most of the time the app gets closed after "Back" so as to not bog down the memory I assume)...would rooting and using Autokiller from the market remedy the need for a task killer? I HATE task killers and the good thing about Autokiller is it just changes the already hard-coded app killoff points to higher values
4. In addition to the latter part of 3, I tried to ADB and root it earlier but with it plugged into USB, and USB debugging enabled, if I typed adb devices, nothing is listed, so I can't do anything ADB with it.
