They also seemed to have dropped the price of the T301 to $199. Was considering this with the price drop and the upgrade. However rumors of Amazon coming out with a tablet have given me pause.
Meaning that they need to redownloaded and installed (would make sense as this is a change to the OS. Thinking about how programs sometimes need to be reinstalled with Windows when it's reinstalled over the previous install or maybe a service pack is installed or something weird just happens) or simply not work at all?
I'm imagining this means your app will be erased as you are flashing a new rom unto your device. You will have to re-install all previous apps and some may not be supported any longer. I would highly recommend to take the upgrade to 2.2 even it means that some apps will not work. The adventure of finding working apps begins.
