Listening to the Voices in My Head

I connected my phone with my desktop to transfer some photos from the micro SD card. I was rather shocked to find that I had hardly any memory on the device. Shocked because I have moved all movable applications to the micro SD card.

So, I disconnect the phone and opened AppManager and said Whohuhwha? All programs that had been on the SD card were once again on the device instead.

This is where "you'd think smartphones would be smart"... I had updated the apps on the device, and instead of installing them where they were, the updater deleted them from the micro SD card, and wrote them to device memory instead. I just spent about an hour moving them all back to the SD card. Oy.

I can port my old MobiPocket ebooks into Kindle app on my Android tablet. This is good, as I couldn't read them as I was having trouble reading on small screen.

I have been running into an issue when getting ebooks for Kindle App on my tablet. Many times, I will get "Invalid Item: remove from device and redownload from archives", and when I do this, I get the same Invalid message, the same .. well, you get it. Round and round.

I asked for Kindle support to call me. After deleting the app, then reinstalling it (yes, did this before too) and still getting the same error message, I am informed it's because Kindle didn't come preinstalled on the device.

Huh? That excuse just doesn't wash! Kindle App didn't come preinstalled on my desktop, or netbook, or laptop, and guess what? I don't get this error message! Why do some boosk open without a hitch, but some puke up the above error message?

So, Kindle/Amazon, stop trying to fix the blame and fix the damned problem!

But there is a YouTube App for the Android tablet that you can surf YouTube. That works for me just fine. To really improve it, they would have to make a feature where you can download the video. That would be choice.

As I stated last week or before, I had decided on a specific Android Tablet. It was the Suli SL-7 with Capacitive screen, 20gbs storage.

The only negative thing I can say is "How the heck can I get rid of the air bubbles out from under the included with my purchase screen protector?" but I have that question with every device (phone, mp3player, camera LCD).

It's fast, was a breeze to set up for Mobile broadband, and for Wifi. I loaded an AVI rip from a dvd and nt only did it play it full screen, there was no problem with the audio losing sync with the video.

Audible audio books load up and play beautifully, no static or skipping.

The screen is a dream. Even with the screen protector on, there is no problem with navigation. So far, every Android App I have installing has functioned perfectly without any system crashes or program crashes.

The only kerfuffle I have is this: I had bought two Kindle books the middle of last month. Well, the author/publisher decided after the fact that it was to be only sold in the US, so I can't load those books onto the new device, but they do still work with my phone. After being on the phone with Kindle support for over an hour, and testing it's no fault of Kindle App or Android device. They did accept my feedback that they need to have a separate OZ Amazon, or clearly mark on the site that said book, even the sample, is only to be sold in the US.

No, it doesn't have a camera, but I have one already, and it's not a phone, but again, I have a phone.
