I gave it to someone here who wanted it to mess with. The xoom wifi was just recently taken off the update list, but has strong internals, good memory and easily rootable. It's heavy, but more durable. I leave it on the coffee table to check email and control the google chromecast and watch recorded shows from droidtv when traveling. :thup2:

Does Chromecast work with driodtv?

not yet, but google opened the api up, so the droidtv are going to get it working. droidtv was removed from the play store and is only on amazon's store now. It is well worth the $30 a year because it records all of the shows from the cable channels.


I haven't tried the Allcast streaming app yet, but it is supposed to stream any media from the device to the chromecast.

The Coby tablet came today. I have to say for $39 this tablet is surprisingly good. Screen quality is better than I thought, had no problems playing a 3D tennis game I test installed- displays JUOT without issue on the built in browser- it's probably damn well adequate for most people. Doesn't feel as solid as a Nexus 7 but for one eighth the price so what.
