Re: Javascript PC Emulator

No, the hardware is emulated but it's just an ordinary (small) linux instance which presumably would run on any similar x86 system. See the 'technical notes' linked from below the emulator.

Looks good, and it supports using Google openid logins, so no need to remember yet another set of account details.

Edit: having tried it out I'm not impressed: it doesn't support the basic Android...

I'm pretty sure the default is actually the other way round: Samsung's own keyboard is the default but you can switch to Swype as you describe or by press & hold on any input field and select 'input...

I would, but it won't accept my IMEI number. There's quite a discussion going on at xda-developers whether the offer applies retrospectively or not.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Info Thread

It would have been more convincing it he hadn't had a screen protector on the Tab. I'd like to know how the screen would have handled the impact without the protector taking.the initial impact.
