Gingerbread!

Woo hoo! Gingerbread is finally available for my wife's Xperia X10.  I just have to be careful when upgrading or she'll kill me. You know, in the way that she does.



The main thing is that I have to make sure her playlists will be preserved. Speaking of preserving, my version of Titanium Backup has been freezing up frequently. I may have to go back-level. I think my wife's phone has a back-level version.

Now if only they would provide a Gingerbread version for my lowly X10 mini. I guess that means I'll need to upgrade my phone soon. (Wry smile...)

Speaking of Android, there is a nice looking 5" Latte ICE SMART Media Player running Android 2. It's on Android 2.3, has a 800MHz processor, 800x400 dual point RESISTIVE touch screen, 256MB RAM, 8GB internal storage, up to 32GB microSD card storage, WiFi, mini HDMI output, and Android Market pre-installed. Very tempting at $160-$170 at J&R or Amazon. Per a comment on Amazon, it only has 2 directional G-sensor, so any games which may depend on more sophisticated sensors would not work on this device. Also, a camera is one of the items missing from its specification.

The 256MB limitation is very restricting but I've found Link2SD works flawlessly on my X10 mini running Android 2.1.
