Been done, look it up in the XDA Developers Forums. Bought mine Friday, unlocked the bootloader, flashed it and it's running like a kitten with the Pudding ROM with the Debian Webtop mod.

Comment Bah, the UK Gov isn't the only IE6 only haven... (Score 1) 233

Bah, the UK Government is the only place where IE6 reigns supreme in government departments. A number of Canadian Government Departments still use IE6 and have some broken proxy config that only allows IE6 to connect to the net. I work in a military office tower and I used to be able to use FF Portable to cruise the net until they rolled out a new baseline system that only allows IE6 to work for web access thanks to some proxy config and they block out all IE Config access as well as a number of things. The funny thing is that in the last 2 months, we were hit with a nasty little bug twice that spread through the network and intranet thanks to IE6 exploits on all the WinXP machines on the lan.

Comment Would be helpful in other aspects. (Score 1) 81

While this tech is being employed in a vehicular maitenance aspect, it could come in handy for other things as well. For example, for those of us who work in field support for larger entities (ie. huge gov buildings with f-ed up wiring runs thanks to different contractors) could use something like this to help us locate the machines that have open tickets on them on top of diagnosing network issues, etc.

The AR bit would overlay all the wiring runs, hubs, switches, etc. while we are walking around in an attempt to locate the problematic device or cable.
