Rooting their Hudl

[Nagrom]

Hi gang.

Looking at getting the Hudl in the next few weeks. Anyone planning on Rooting theirs? This will be my 3rd android device, and I rooted both my previous 1st generation HTC Desire, and my current Sammy GS2. I know there's a Linux Rooting solution, and I'm in two minds whether to root my Hudl when a windows solution is developed.

Thoughts?

what is rooting exactly and what is its purpose ?

Rooting is to Android, what jail breaking is to Apple. Only a lot better.

It unlocks the phone allowing root access to the hard drive.
This allows the installing of custom versions of the Android operating system, or ROMS.
Allows you to fully back up and restore apps through apps like Titanium Backup.
Force move high capacity apps like games from the phones internal memory, to the SD Card through an app called directory bind.
Manage the phones resources more efficiently.

Plus many other uses.

Rooting is usually only desired by power users, but more, and more people are rooting their devices these days.
