[SLUG] Android phones
Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a few Android devices... Two phones and two tablets. (I'm looking at getting a samsung galaxy II and samsung Note. Also two samsung tablets (for the kids) I would like to be able to sync contacts with the Linux desktop rather than the cloud. Googling suggests cloud only or syncing with Windows. Anyone out there with Android able to sync with a Linux desktop? Also I'd like to be able to ghost or image the phone in case of malware infection... something I do all the time with desktops. Anyone done this or any pointers/experiences? How to get a phone back to factory or original installation software? Thanks, Ben -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

With Xoom, you can d/l original factory builds from manufacturer, perhaps others do likewise? android:/mnt/sdcard/a4 # ls -al M* -rw-rw-r--1 root sdcard_rw127027187 Jan 16 15:29 MZ601_H.6.1-38-9_Telstra_Australia.zip -- Swyped from my Motrix with K-9 Mail.
