Get those that cheap "shanzai" tablets from China. They come with pretty good hardware and quite a few already have ICS firmware released. Best of all, you need not worry about not being able to root the tablet.

Not only that the price is expensive after factoring in the shipping charges, this tablet is MIPS-based, so it will have a very limited Android Market. Take note!

The tablet to get is actually Ainol Novo 7 Advanced, not the Novo 7 Basic stated in the article. The 7A has a much better hardware. It is widely believed that the Novo7A will get ICS real soon as there are videos of it running ICS circulating in the chinese forums.

I have this cool router and I must say, it's really the best deal out there! I paid peanuts for this router. What I truly love about it is that it has a USB port. After installing OpenWRT and the required packages, I turned this router into a mini home server. The USB port allowed me to connect a flash storage device which acts as data storage as well as swap for the router.

By the way, avoid trying DD-WRT on this router. It is unpolished.

Herotab C8 aka Dropad A8 aka Haipad M7; or Ainol Novo 7 Advanced. Not only are they rooted, these are very good tablets and priced really competitively.

Have you tried Opera Mobile?

Which variant of "xWRT" are you referring to? I can only think of OpenWRT and DD-WRT that can be installed on this device.

I couldn't agree more. This baby rocks! Other than Gigabit Ethernet, priced ridiculously low, it comes with a USB port that you can plug in additional storage for storing installed packages or hosting web content.

Well, considering that the population of China is just over 1.3 billion, I think that size of user base is to be expected

Well, China had 420 million Internet users by June 2010. A substantial part of China is rural and does not have Internet access. It's amazing to "expect" half of the entire Chinese population have QQ accounts.

This is madness! For some reason, the comment count for each story in the front page is missing! Am I alone? How do I fix this?

Damage does not only affect visually but also the driving experience.

Unfortunately, you are spot on.

http://exophase.com/ps3/ps3-firmware-3-42-hits-network-update-18063.htm:

Update: We can confirm that all variants of the USB-hub emulating exploit (PSFreedom, PSGroove, PSJailbreak) are no longer functional in firmware 3.42.

Show's over.

Apparently the latest firmware update fixes the USB exploit.

Gaming site eXophase claims that, since Sony released firmware update 3.42 earlier today, it has been able to verify that "all variants of the USB-hub emulating exploit (PSFreedom, PSGroove, PSJailbreak) are no longer functional"

Resistance is futile. Accept it.
