This is a 7" ebook reader that I picked up at Future Shop. It runs Android 1.5 (cupcake). In retrospect, I wish I'd held out and got a White PDN instead, or just ordered a WM8650 form china like the one I encouraged Ashley to acquire.
To root this device, I ended up installing termander's ROM (trm_unlock_20110215_polaris_update.dat), which lets me use ADBto access the device as root. Unfortunately when I used connectbot to get a shell prompt on the device, it would appear to give me a root shell, but whoami did not have UID 0. This kept me from hacking too far.
I found a zip file ROOT_UPDATER_PD_INX7E_ENG_6410POP.zip that contained a working binary of su, which I copied to the device using "adb push" and renamed asu (as in alternate su) this let me do all sorts of cool stuff. I quickly set up debian, then ran out of space for the image and had to resize it to fit X11 in there... Now I can easily run out of RAM!
