Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Thanks. But I don't want to tie my sister that OS. Pretty much looking for straight Android, and unlike the HP WebPads, I haven't read that they can be hacked to run it. Them being dumped like that doesn't bode well for continued HW and SW support, I worry. And they don't have a developer backing like either of the major two.
Thanks, ND. I finally managed to find a guy who new what he was talking about, but I think it got me a total of 2% off on the iPad I was buying. I hopefully won't need another laptop for a while, but thanks for the suggestions.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a free QR code generator?

Thanks!
ita !, today's woot.com deal is a refurbished 16GB Toshiba Thrive for 279.99.
I might buy one. I like them because they have lots of ports. Heavier than Tabs, etc, but hey, good price!
Thanks for that heads up, Gris. I just had to replace my phone, so I don't know if I'll be jumping on this today. But it does seem appealling...
I decided against it, just because the customization scene seems really weak for the Thrive - doesn't look like CM9 will be available, for example. The Asus Transformer refurbished is available on newegg.com for $329.99 and may be a better bet.
Thanks again, Gris. I ended up getting one for my sister (more tech to configure, why do I do this?), and then one of her friends wanted me to get one for her too. Android, booyah! They don't need rooting or custom ROMs.
