!!! Android Gingerbread

After an earlier attempt to install [Android Froyostone], which wasn't very successful , I gave it another try. This time with Android 2.3 , codename ''Gingerbread''.

!! Findings

! Good

* __it's stable__, no hangs yet (so that's definitely better than Froyostone).
* __power consumption__ is much less, while with Froyostone the battery was empty after 10 hours, with Gingerbread I get an estimated 45 hours with one charge, that's about the same as with WMO.
* very responsive, much better than WMO

! Less Good

* USB (under Linux) does not work yet:

}}}  some more investigation required.
* no GoogleMaps installed, must be somewhere on the Market I guess
* no VideoCamera app (video not supported ?)

!! Miscellaneous 

* For enterprise EAS access, I installed Touchdown from Nitrodesk (If everything works out well I will probably buy the "non nag" version).
* Installed QuickSSHD again, but can't access the IP address, probably due to USB not working yet.
