So far not having luck mounting the Ubuntu 13.10 image, but of course will be working on it. I did buy the 8gb sdcard for it so least am able to get to part of if anyway! Takes time on all this stuff and also have other tasks at hand. For this weekend will be busy so will not really write to much here about what is happening cause will be no time to do anything!
For now since I also have another use for the Droidian Slip is going to double as an MP3 player so can enjoy some tunes in the car for once since that Zune bit the dust! Some of the disks that I made really do not have the quality of all the MP3's I have stored. Did not want to make any more disks and sure can not afford to be buying stacks of them again! So, since there is more than enough room to house songs I will want to play for a few hours, am sure the Droidian Slip is more than adequate to handle it! Of course not sure on how long battery will last in that aspect and sure am hoping for least maybe 2 hours of music as do not have a huge distance to go today and tomorrow.
Wouldn't you know that after I got that google maps working like a charm on here, am going to an already known place and will not need to use it! I was also hoping to eliminate the need for cell phone and this device, but came up empty handed when I tried this program call Dingtone. I mean all I need is something to work just in case it has to! I am not really one to talk on the phone that much at all! As you can see, I write more than I talk! Still, just in case something goes wrong while am traveling need a phone and Dingtone is just no answer to that. For those thinking about Dingtone they will also rope you in to trying offers after you install. The end result you get credits and for what???? Damned thing will not make a phone call to a regular phone, either has to be a smartphone or a Dingtone user. So avoid that program unless you are using it for contacting other users or smartphones!
Next, I had mentioned a hassle with Google Play on this EM544. Simple enough as just removed it, since I already have another apk application some kind of market, can't remember the name right now but works fine and will not hassle this small tablet! The benefits of having a small tablet like this is fits right in my pocket. Sorry, I just do not want something larger, if I need something larger and more proficient, I have my laptop which is adequately loaded with Ravenswood and Windows 7. As have said before, basically looking for just using this little tablet for whatever it can do! What it can not do will cover elsewhere.
Will stay on this mission of finding its uses as is quite interesting and am hoping with what I do find will help others with similar small devices as such! Also say was a great find with that Android 4.2 apk I found as this thing least handles much better. Also for those thinking about Big Lots, forget it! Big Lots decided to get out of display casing electronic devices and have sold off their inventories for real cheap prices. I found this fact yesterday when I visited the store in Columbia, TN. Was a beauty as found out even though I am a card member there, I was never sent any notification of this fact! A cashier told me some devices sold for 1/10th of their worth! In laymen's terms a $90 camera was sold for 2 dollars!!! Imagine that! Anyway, am sure something else will pop up for those of us that are not rich!!! Besides, these tablets are being created just as fast as toilet paper, so am sure we will soon see price drops!
Also as I learn some things, I also hope others will share on here and say what they have learned! Remember there are a lot of people that read these posts looking to understand how to use their devices or what can be done! Let's add to that so all of us can benefit and learn. Together we then learn how to make everyone's experience with these devices that much greater!!!!
