thanks kris, i knew you'd have looked into this.

useful tutorial.

MTP - and copy times - that's what brought me here.
My phone takes an AGE to copy files from.
Using ADB - it copied files off - a lot quicker - so if you want to cover that . hey.. go for it - it's not like I'm going to ... I don't have the 'wherewithall' !!

cheers again

the tablet in the video is Pengpod, which after buy for around $100, I received it and realized it was identical to my wife's iView tablet which I paid around $80 for.  but the pengpod did come with an SD card, so I guess the price was about the same in the end.  They are made by a company called AllWinner.  If you search Amazon right now, you can get one for about $50.

I also have an Achos 700, which is older, but works better.  the AllWinnder/iView/Pengpod tablets are really peaces of crap, but about what you would expect for a tablet under $100.  They are great for playing around with and can boot off an SDcard or USB drive, so really hard to brick because you can always put a properly formatted SD card in and boot into Android or another Linux distro.  

That being said, these days you can get a 7" Samsung for around $175 new or a Nook for about $130.  It's work an extra $30 to $75.  Both the Samsung and the Nook are way faster from what I've tested in stores.  A good test to test the performance of a tablet or computer is to enable webGL in Chrome on the device and then try some of these webGL test scripts I wrote:

Hope you find this information helpful.

Next week we'll get Xorg and a basic Desktop running on this tablet without a VNC.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video.. Those commands are really amazing.. I was wondering how to create CRON job/ schedule task in android devices through adb command.. If you produce an video on that then it will be very helpful.. Thank you..

As per your test and experience, decreasing resolution via ADB will improve battery life?
