Well Honestly the 3 Tabs oficially on the Cyanogenmod site are the Advent Vega (also known as P10AN01), Nook Color (aka Encore), the HP Touchpad, and the ViewSonic G Tablet. The 2 of those i would suggest would be the B&N and the Viewsonic Gtab, they are both very nice physically, and the Gtab has identical specs and performance to the Galaxy tab. I haven't looked to see if any of those are doing the M$ licencing or not. I actually want either one of those :-) On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 4:26 PM, der.hans wrote: > moin moin, > > I'm thinking that 10 - 12 hours in a car could be more effectively used > if I had an appropriate computing device.
