Best Buy 8" Insignia Infocast

Terry,

Do you think the Infocast could run the Java software for the miniVNA?

As a follow-up, I have now fired this device up.  I could not get it to 
connect to my main DLink wireless router, but I hooked up a newer 
Linksys router, and it connected OK.  Both setup for WEP, since I have 
some older laptops that do not do WPA.

I then downloaded and unzipped the Web browser (based on QT) onto a USB 
drive (about 55MB).  Then, I rebooted the Infocast, and connected a USB 
keyboard to the other USB port.  I was able to browse the web OK.  It is 
a bit of a pain to use a combination of the keyboard and touchscreen, as 
no mouse is used.  But, it does work.

Since QT works OK, maybe we could build and install an SDR app??
