Your last purchase?

I just bought the cheapest tablet/ereader I found at a bestbuy.

They just dropped $20USD from yesterday so I called in to price match. Crazy cheap. I can't install much apps but it surely beats Kindle DX with 3G. I can browse the internet, read emails, watch some crappy youtube videos, read pdf txt, doc, xls,etc. Not bad for $100. I know it's not gonna be an ipad but with the difference of >$400, I can get myself accelerometer, a mega1280 clone, maybe a duemilanove clone for a friend, and do this again for about 3 more times if I will. ;D I think instead of repeating I will prototype more boards and else.

Edit: I was able to make some upgrade to this ebook so that it can access the android market and overclock. Now PDF files are much more readable and I'm happy with it.

So how does that work?

The screens i had were that bad. With the single new one i can keep the windows smaller and end up with more on screen. You are right with the numbers though.

Sure, just add them all to a quart pan in water, bring to a soft boil and let simmer for 30 mins. Season to taste and serve over rice.

Yeah. I guess it's the difference between having more money than time, or having more time than money.

Well buying lots of parts can change that round ;D
