This week is turning out to be a great week to purchase a new (or refurbished) ereader or tablet for cheap. Some of the deals posted on Tuesday are still ongoing and there a bunch new deals for today, some really good ones too. Most of these are daily deals so they aren’t likely to […]
How to Root the Pandigital Planet and Install Google Apps
The one question that I’ve been getting asked more than anything else here lately is how to root the Pandigital Planet and install Google apps to get access to Google’s Android appstore.
