[Noisebridge-discuss] Andriod / Arduino hacking anyone? -- Sunday, 3pm, at Noisebridge‏‏

[John Morgan]

Yeah, my Samsung Galaxy Indulge (new 4G phone) only runs 2.2.1 :(
Apparently some people have got 3.0 running on it... we'll see, if i can do
that with this metro-bastardized-version...

Boy, those yet to be released 3.01 Galaxy Tabs Google gave away at the
Google IO conference look cool....
