<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I brouht an android tablet to a moot earlier this year, it has 2.2 as OP. I lent it to Gavin but alas he hadn't wifi at home so it wasn't much use to him. I have since then bought a docking station for it, which means it sits on the desk like a small TV.<br>At the time it didn't make much of an impact!<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 3/10/11, Steve Dobson <i><steve@dobbo.org></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Steve Dobson <steve@dobbo.org><br>Subject: Re: [Sussex] Tablet Talk Request<br>To: "Fay Zee" <sussex@eglug.org.uk>, "Sussex LUG" <sussex@mailman.lug.org.uk><br>Date: Monday, 3 October, 2011, 22:04<br><br><div class="plainMail">-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>Hash: SHA1<br><br>Hi Fay<br><br>I've been tracking tablets for a while now.

a project in mind<br>that would be nice to deploy on a tablet if it had the correct<br>capability. One thing that is vital is that it much be able to support<br>a USB attach probe.
