Cool, enjoy! I've flown to Schiphol many times and have taken trains from there to other places in Europe But have never spent Amy time in the city itself.

What are you doing in Amsterdam, FB? Business or pleasure?

The trip will be for pleasure. My brother is deployed in Africa and will meet us in Amsterdam for some R&R. I can't wait!

you have to download preware on to your computer and then send the file to your pad. just connect with usb.

once you have preware on the pad you will be able to download all kinds of tweeks etc.. that will turn your average if not slow pad into a speed demon. from preware you can download a movie player etc..

So, now that I'm starting to use it, what should I do to it? I've only done the first update, nothing else.

Also, any recommended apps yet?
