[quote name='Mark Adams;42859]Hey' date=' this is some nice work guys, I'm going to play with this app later today. While I've been fascinated with the Dev gurus work towards improving the OS, this really strikes at the heart of what the PDN was created to do ... and when all the fireworks die down is what it will be used for most, even the hacked models.It's my "reader" whether I'm reading a book or magazine, I use it to read the newspapers (gotta find another word for that as we edge away from dead-tree media), RSS feed, Twitter & Facebook - I read with it. Something I can sit in the livingroom with the family and enjoy both it and them without being tied to a desk or hogging half the coffee table.BTW, following along with the Devs, it looks like 720p might never be possible cuz that's designed for more than our 800x600 screen - unless we upgrade the hardware. No mention of any glitches in the way of it becoming my portable pony assembly device though.[/QUOTE']Don't forget that your PDN must be rooted first.Then, I suggest to use scripts at my blog, and not these utilities, so you will have better control and feel of what's being done, to repeat success and to roll back fast in near-bricking case.Again, it's also a project in works, and the research is going on. For example, as of today, I'm pretty sure what I'd be changing stock DroidSans to -- it's one of Segoe/Frutiger family (look Wiki for these, there's a fascinating story in which you'd recognize M$ as a major international art thief). But I'm not so sure about a better Serif. My own preferences are in favor of Caslons, Garamonds, Dutch stuff, or more accidental Gentium, but aside from any of these being well-antialiased in freetype2, nobody can guarantee a satisfactory level of hinting for a given type. Plus many "free" or cheap types miss glyphs, their hinting is sub par, and nobody ever though much of better kerning for them.Sure, there are commercial types that can satisfy the most picky connoisseur. But for a price of $80...$200 per single license. Our Android toy follows the Linux foot steps very closely in that its fonts are donated to the project by not so great a type foundry. It's like a soup from the soup kitchen for homeless. Or junk food from fast food joints.We talk strictly about bibliomaniacs and type connoisseurs here. Strictly speaking, our Guru Devs can use just a mono: Courier, e.g., and absolutely whatever for non-code passages it's their types of preference. But when our eReader will be seriously used as an eReader, I can bet better fonts are capable to make eReading more pleasurable and more addictive.As for 720p non-playing in soft, I wouldn't be so categorical. All it takes from our Dev's is determining what max bandwidth of video stream can be decoded and rendered smoothly at 25...29 fps with no frames lost. With good graphic drivers and decoders, it could be 1080p in a letterbox. Our 800x600 has no direct relation to playing HD video, as the device can possibly roll back to a letterbox, to a lesser frame letterbox, or even to less than half screen in portrait mode if it struggles too much. So, 720p is just a marketing term. We need 640x480 playing scalable and smooth, that's it. Plus a workaround if Flash will be declared impossible for this particular Samsung 6410 chip even in Froyo where everyone and their mother-in-law will have Flash.
