It has a dual processor, and a webtop accessory that lets the phone become a netbook. I hope it is available by my birthday but I doubt it.

No android port for xournal ;(Category: computers
I wish that xournal would get ported to android. It would so incredible to have an app for PDF notation and highlighting on android. I wish I was able to do it, but its so out of my league and I don't have much freetime to work on anything else.
I first found the app when I was using the nokia N810 back in 2008 (e:paul,43019). Since then I used it a bunch on my linux desktop although a windows port exists too.
I keep searching, each time I hope someone will have done it. I mean the source code is available so I imagine its only a matter of time before it or something like it comes out.

I heard that the creator made xournal back when he was in uni and had a ton of free time. Now he works and lived in Canada/UK and has the same situation as you - work takes up most of his time. Also, I don't think he has an android-based phone, because his service providers are not compatible with android phones and he has too many nokia phones to buy new ones I guess.

Garrett County Ham from Lexington CoopCategory: food
Last week I bought a 10lb nitrate-free/antibiotic free Garret County Ham from the Lexington coop. It was $3.99/lb which isn't that bad and considering we ate Ham for like 3 meals a day for a week and still have some frozen, it was totally worth it. I freaking love ham.
Example daily Ham diet:
UPDATE: I was just at the coop and they have a bunch more for $1.99/lb. That only $20 for a 20lb Ham.
Example daily Ham diet:
- chopped Ham and scrambled eggs for breakfast
- split pea and Ham soup for lunch
- Ham steak with rice and veggies for dinner
- Ham and vanilla ice cream smoothie for dessert
- procuitto wrapped Ham and cheese with cracker snack plate
UPDATE: I was just at the coop and they have a bunch more for $1.99/lb. That only $20 for a 20lb Ham.

I love ham as well but only high quality hams... I thought the ham milkshake thing was for real and I kinda threw up in my mouth a bit/ thought maybe it sounded good...
There's probably some odd place in Japan that serves up hammy milkshakes...

It looks/tastes like it is smoked/roasted. It is then spiral cut. I like to take the slices off and freeze the left overs. Then we make soup from the bone which goes down the center.

Knowing your wild late-night combo dinner plates... that dessert seemed pretty real. ;-)
So that pink chunk is actually precooked. Is it steamed/roasted? How does it maintain that pink colour? I have often wondered about other sandwich meats as well. I think they are precooked... but how? Do you know?

I was not serious about that part. I was just checking to see if anyone was really reading it, lol. I guess you were.
Ya but 20lbs of meat is a freakin huge amount. You could feed a whole family ham for weeks, and if you compared that to the price of a restaurant meal its even more priceworthy. Its pre-cooked and carved so there is really no other work besides heat and serve.

Ham and vanilla ice cream
Ew? What is that?! How do you make it?
I think 1.99/lb makes it nearly $40 for 20lb.

Nook DevelopmentCategory: android
I updated my android SDK as I am now on eclipse Helios 3.6 and I wanted to make a few updates to the estrip publisher app since seeing it on the nook tablet.
I discovered they do have their own nook SDK which is nice but on the shitty side it only works with their nook emulator so far. This is cool if you don't have a nook but not so cool if you do. I remember from the estrip app. Testing on the Nexus One was so much better than on the stupid emulator. Its just not the same trying to get a feel for it. Luckily, a rooted nook will let me put apps on it for testing but its annoying and a hack.
I wish so bad that B&N would just allow the regular android store. Having it on my rooted nook is incredible. It makes the device so damn useful that I can't put it down. In fact I love typing on it with the new gingerbread keyboard I downloaded.
I mean, I get why they don't want it. I am sure they are terrified of people using the kindle app on it and buying book from amazon instead. They shouldn't have too much to worry about because the reading experience on the native nook app is so much better than with the Kindle app. For example, kindle won't let me pinch and zoom on my books. Plus the notetaking and sharing quotes, lending feature, etc.
I can't wait for them to open up whatever market they are going to open. I would love to get in on it but it seems like they are really playing up to the big company devs more than the small guy. Reading through the forum this is pissing off a lot of developers who feel they if they are going to be treated as second class devs, they might as well develop for the ipad's larger market.
Well, anyways, here is hoping that whatever it is I end up developing finds its way into the store when its done and they I stay dedicated to working on it without knowing for sure if it will. Its just so hard to be motivated for something that might just turned down at the last stage. That's exactly why I never developed the estrip app for iphone.

(e:puddlediving) just told me this is the phone she wants (to replace her broken old iPhone) and it's out March 6. Can't wait to see it.
I want the laptop dock. That would be perfect. Perfect. All hot-swap. No boot time. Great battery life.
Oh, one of my clients got a nook before xmas and took it to Italy on vacation. She had d/ld some travel guides and used it to plan her adventures - she said it worked great and she loved being able to check her email & browse. I told her about how you rooted yours. She was kinda jealous and she's not at all a techie. She was pleased that we had played with all those tablets and that we liked your nook best. Her husband got a kindle as an unexpected gift and they haven't even taken it out of the box.
Seang.... See-ang. Prolly gets Shawn-G alot.
lol so you are dropping hints? :)
Whoa - that's just around the corner!
