Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

"Get your Red Sea deals here!"

Go for it lol, even if you state they are not the real thing, I bet you could make a fortune on them, and its not like anyone could hunt you down haha


Im currently making a DIY female to Female USB lead to attach the transformers non usb port to male usb jack, and see what devices I can use on it

Someone has managed to get 3G Dongles working but it requires root and a custom ROM, I like my OTA Updates from ASUS, and apparently we're getting Ice Cream Sandwich update when it is released

From what I remember - the scrolls battery is just 6-8 AA rechargeable batteries shrink rapped together (lots of selotape too) and a cable linking it to the main circuit board, held in place with bluetak solder. ;)

Yea I can't see why you couldnt just buy some much higher capacity ones and make your own, I was reading someone doing that for their sons RC Car that used to run out in 8 minutes, after his mod, it lasted 45 mins

Det, where did you get your new tab from and how much was it?


P.s. The 1st Scroll with FW 0.52 (pre-mass production) was made entirely of sticky back plastic and toilet rolls - :lol:

haha - I got it from kandco.com catalogue, £499 - getting the dock for xmas which they say gives another 8 hours battery, so will get 16 hours altogether fingers crossed

I can get about 7-8 constant heavy use from it atm, they said 9.5hours playing a film on loop with wifi off, but havent done that test yet

On another note I almost fried it just now with my DIY USB lead, I think rather than joining the same coloured wires to each other, for female to female, I was meant to reverse them.

Burning smell from the DIY lead, transformer seems unscathed :D Pheff
