Day 4.

Seeing as I am a bit of a technophile, today's pictures have to do with an interesting tweak on some old(ish) software. To some, this post might be meaningless - no problem! To those that understand it - great!

Kindle Fire
Above is my Kindle Fire tablet - which runs the a heavily modified, older version of the Android OS. The Kindle is great for certain things, especially if you are tied into the Amazon ecosystem, but is limited to downloading only apps approved by Amazon, and has a book-centric (in my opinion - slightly annoying), bookshelf-style interface. However, it's possible to get rid of the Kindle interface, and replace it with an new Android OS. And then the options are unlimited.

So, with a few tweaks, voila: Android tablet on the cheap.
