Scroll Excel - Review & Mini Blog

[Astro]

I too am really enjoying watching your blog unfold Charlie.

forrrge is right, a test of some more serious (and useful / intreresting?) apps might be worth trying.

Google Sky Map:

This is a great app, but I'm still seeing things differently on the Excel as opposed to my GPS equipped phone... I now see the same area of sky, but the orientation is 90 degrees different. Have you got an Android phone? Do you see any differences between the two?

GPS Essentials

Cheers for the review Charlie and like you I was one of the original Scroll owners, but sadly I had to sell it to my brother in law late last year, (moved to the dark side with my iPad), but I really miss the tweaking that can be done on these little tabs and, the form factor is a little easier to sneak into work Ahem !.
Thinking of getting one now, according to the Scroll website they will be released mid February can I ask where you got yours from.

Hi Fozzer, great to see you on here again. They are great little tablets for tweaking and moding

I got mine direct from SO on the last batch they had in - Last time I looked (yesterday) ebuyer had 100 in-stock.

Morning all

Ok, finally got to play with my new toy

Its a hell of a lot better than the 1st Gen Scroll....for the money it cant be beaten! Ive only had it on about half an hour and im already busily trying to remove all the useless crap off it.

Ill do a better write-up later today when ive had more time to play, but my first impressions are good.

Thread updated. (see my 2nd post on the 1st page)

Very nice write up Charlie, i hadn't realised that you'd been updating the first page.

hey Charlie, how did you mod it to allow the extra market apps?

this blog is really good as you know what you are doing and are willing to have a go with things. are you going to have a play with the phone files, maybe freezing them with titanium like i want to do but am a bit worried about doing because i don't have your expertise?

Thanks,

I am writing a 'How to' on the mod for extra market apps. I will be doing the phone mod too - Just been busy last week and the build.prop mod took longer than expected as the Excel needed more than the usual changes.

UPDATE: 'Conclusion' added to the 3rd post.

[forrrge]

Spot on conclusion and completely agree.
