hi,

i bought my A70 yesterday in Germany, by Karstadt the 8 GB version for 250Ôé¼.
I have installed a few games, watched movies, listned to a few songs, rad a lil bit a pdf, and of cource a lot of web surfing wirh th Dolphin Browser, everything worked fine. just the rotation takes sometimes very long, but this is ok for me.

Nice one Douglas. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for the SCUMMvm tip. Hot stuff.

No problem. Just remembered I had a problem with games in nested sub directories. I had to put my game folders (dw, dw2, dott etc) in the root of the storage space and then select the folder from the add game dialogue. Trying to double tap on the folders defeated either my coordination or timing.

4. not a review, but a "clubhouse" thread on my home-forum, just started and going to be adding info as it's found...

loving it so far. obviously cannot wait for 2.2 so it is on par with my Evo, but you simply cannot beat having such a big screen on a clean touch screen OS. looking forward to updates but really just having fun with it.

one thing of note is that the mini hdmi cable is larger than the one i have and expected it to be, didn't realize there were multiple mini hdmi cables.

I'll second that!!!
