A. Never used unrevoked, but you can save your contacts with a gmail sync. Unfortunately you'll need to reinstall any apps you've downloaded. So it might be a good idea to write down your favorites. And some rooting methods do take away android market but you should be fine with most of them. It all depends on the ROM that you choose. CyanogenMod has an add-on that can reinstall the market, gmail, and other google apps though. ( Im not sure if the Evo supports Cyanogen) Just follow the links in my sources for all the information u need.
( The second link is for a MyTouch 3g so DO NOT install it on your phone, its strictly for educational purposes.)
No, you wont loose the root if u turn off your phone.
The first link will show how to root, un-root, and install custom ROMs
Also: A nandroid backup will help protect your phone from bricking and should ALWAYS be done before you wipe any data. That way you can just simply restore your phone and try again if you mess up the first time

Should I pay for the I-Pad?
Q. I'm thinking about getting an I-Pad [not just because it's sexy], but because I was talking to a college kid in class and he said he found it useful. He said he liked to use it because he bought his books on it, and it made his book expense a lot cheaper. As well as, sketching and stuff. He said he did some artwork on his I-pad, and he liked being able to show the teachers and make adjustment during class with them there. That and they were able to themselves draw on the screen and show him color choices, and how to fix the figure and etc. I'm really thinking about getting one, especially since I also read quite a bit, and it could also serve me like a kindle.
I don't wanna here about how much you hate Apple or anything like that. Or how crappy expensive it is. I'm looking for info on how well the I-Pad serves the purposes I need it for, as well as any first account experiences with drawing on it/downloading books for personal or school use.
I'm also curious in suggestion that If I did get it, what gig I should get since I will be drawing on it.
Thanks a lot ahead of time! :]

A. Good question. I assume you are teacher?
A few things to consider:
First, if you are determined to get an iPad, wait for 2 more months for Apple to introduce the next generation iPad, which should be same in price.
Second, if you are open minded about your options, try to get your hands on the Android tablets as well and see whether you like it better. Windows tablets are also coming soon, so if you want to get a tablet, I'd say you still wait a bit.
Third, many educational institutions started bringing in tablets to their environment. Check with the board and the IT department whether there are any plans regarding furnishing teachers with tablets.
Finally, do not underestimate the programs and the format of the files you use to do your work. Compatibility should be your foremost concern. You may be surprised if you find yourself buying a Windows tablet instead in the near future.
I hope this helps.

Tablet for a Kid's Christmas?
Q. Can someone help me?? I preordered a Kindle Fire for my 5 year old for Christmas. Now, there is this new Nook coming out. My brain can't really handle all these technical specs. I just want to know if I should stick to the Fire, or cancel my preorder and go with a different tablet.
She will use it for two primary purposes: games (preferably educational ones), and movies. I reallly don't want to shell out another $80 bucks a year for Amazon Prime when we already have Netflix. Can she watch Netflix on the Kindle Fire?? Will there be a good choice of kid-friendly, educational apps available thru Amazon?
I am so lost here. If someone could just answer this: "If you had a very bright 5 year old to buy a tablet for (but couldn't afford a $500+ iPad), which would you buy?"
Thanks!
Please spare me the lecture about a 5 year old having a tablet. You've got to kidding me. It is so easy to spend 200 bucks on crap toys like Barbies or whatever which have little lasting value. Also, I researched both the LeapPad and its' competitor, and at a price point of $100, the apps cost $15 or more! No thanks! For another hundred bucks, this is what we get: 1.) access to many FREE educational apps, 2.) streaming kids movies and shows so basically the same function as a portable DVD player, 3.) e-book reader. And before you act so shocked like a kid would like Netflix, you may want to take a look at their content for kids, which includes PBS series like Super Why! and other great stuff. So, SHOVE IT, jerkface.
To those that offered sincere opinions on different tablets, I appreciate it. Thanks.

A. The new NOOK Tablet was announced today. The Nook Tablet lacks Kindle Fire's advanced Silk browser and is more expensive ($249 vs $199) but does have an SD slot and more memory (16G).
Kindle Fire does not have Netflix yet but may be getting it. NOOK Tablet will have Netflix immediately.
You can get a feel for the apps currently available by browsing the Amazon Appstore for Android:

What would I do? (1) Spend as little as possible while I learning how well this will work for my family; (2) Help my child appreciate that tablet screens are basically sheets of glass and cannot handle any torquing (twisting).
