Yesterday was out doing one of my jobs and had to get some oil for my car, so I stopped in at Big Lots. Well, I decided to take a look at the ole glass locked cage to see what junky electronic devices were there! To my surprise I stumbled on a little pocket sized tablet that was marked down to $15. I figured "Damn, I paid more for that for a small MP4 player(Poloroid). That thing cost me $35 about 3 years ago and probably runs maybe a 800mhz processor in it. So, I could not resist this little things for $15.
To my surprise is a dual core Emerson EM544, was originally marked around $50 and dropped down a few times. So, said "Why not!" So I bring it home charge it up within a few hours and boom, hook to the internet and email. Seems like an alright deal! Is expandable to one of those mini's to 32gb, so I figure at some point will do that! Is just wild though as just a year ago, I saw close to the same device over there running around $100 and now to dump down this low is quite unreal!!!
Anyway guess I will have to start learning the ins and outs of Android as 4.1 is the OS on there. So far have not had luck putting my London_tower pic on there, but give me some time will figure! Am just happy to have a small unit as such, since my cell phone would be very lame for any search on the net, if my car became disabled or just finding some place when I am out! Not really looking to carry my PC in my pocket, just have a nice little utility in case of emergency! I know many people live on these things, but I do not think that could ever be me, though I will not say never as that seems to be a curse to me! Every time I say "never" it happens!
Anyway if anyone has some decent info to get me going with Android, will be grinning! As I say, just something maybe to have access to a map if needed would probably be the major accessory would ever want! Also for those that shun "Big Lots" maybe should rethink when it comes to deals of such?? I honestly do not think you can get one of these things cheaper than this, but if someone knows, please share it with us all!
