Re: Acer to Hack a Touch Pro

the only downside to getting the acer is i want the 6 cell battery for longer life, but it's only available on the highest model(pink one!) and the 6 cell batteries are over 100 bucks. =/

if anyone's running this combo could you please answer if this is good for me or not, if i could tether my phone to it, and would i be able to run, install, and play with my phone as far as modding/hacking/customizing with the tiny PC.

thanks in advance.
mCast: I've got an MSI Wind that I just love. I've upped the RAM to 2 gigs and it is a fabulous machine. I chose it over the Acer because of the larger screen and ease of upgrading RAM. As a matter of fact, I dual-boot Vista and Leopard. Vista works great for tethering with my Mogul and I have managed to set up a BT PAN network with the Mac, though it was really cumbersome getting it set up. I'm sure a Touch Pro would work just as well. My kid has a TP, I should try it with his.
