   I'm guessing that I don't really need one or at least they've sure fallen off my radar but still....this is a pretty good and less expensive solution:

How to hack the $250 Nook Color into a full Android tablet
I've seen them on sale for $199 and from this video it looks pretty perky but I just can't figure a need. 
Maybe if I left the house or something....

	I should pay more attention. Found this video on the $120 Velocity Micro Cruz Reader. Haven't as yet looked to see how hard it is but looks like there's a ROM swap involved.

	"...need one.." It's a new tech toy...I thought that fit the "...want one..." category. HeeHee

	Shhhh, I never just want one, there's always a pressing need. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

	I really get a big kick out of hacking things. And that is mighty tempting, but I just can't think of what I'd really use it for. I might only hunt-and-peck in order to type on the computer, but I'm much faster with it than touching letters on a screen with my finger. I don't mind typing short messages on my android phone, and longer ones in a pinch. It is better than texting with the standard cell phone. I wouldn't mind getting to play with one.

	Just thought of something. It would make one of the coolest remotes for your TV ever.

	We love our tech toys, don't we!
