New to android, but not to technology

I've been checking the android suport forums as I started playing with Android based devices over the past year. As I noted I'm a technologist, over 40 years in science and engineering with plenty of recent electronics work, data collection, motion control, power electronics. I've done the MS, Apple, OS-9 (Microware, not Apple) and Linux systems and have been looking for something that was more directed toward mobile communications.

Android seems to be the way to go. Started with a couple Koby Kyros (8125, 1126) tablets, which were fine for basing browsing and streaming video. Decided to step up to an Acer Iconia A500, running Android 3.2.1, soon to be 4.0.

This leaves at least one of the Kyros tablets open for hacking. Recently I read where someone has opened a Kyros 1024 and found storage was a std. SD card. This makes things interesting. Decided to joing the fun and the fray, so here I am.

Welcome to the forums Jons. I'm sorry but we don't have a specific area to discuss either of your Kyros. We do have areas for a number of Kyros that might be similar or you might try looking through the general tablet area for your tabs. Here is a link to that area: General Tablet Talk - Android Forums
And a link to the Android tablets we do have support areas for:
Android Tablets & MIDs - Android Forums
I wish you luck.. and fun in your mod attempts.

Currently we have a new thread in our social area where existing members are paying
tribute to the new people that have just joined Android Forums. This is something
the regular users thought up to give you some idea how the group truly welcomes you to these forums. I encourage you to check out the thread and say hello. We are really glad that you joined these forums. Here is a link to that thread:
