Wifi
Everyone probably knows by now that the existing Linux Wifi driver needs work. Now that the Pinetab2 is out with the users there should be some progress.

In the meantime you can use a Wifi Dongle or connect a Mobile with a USB cable. Instructions are in the Wiki. I am using the USB cable to an Android mobil. Apparentl iPhone could work as well, but I have not tried it yet.

First real use, 6 1/2 hours; mainly with data entry in LibreOffice Calc logging events & a short hands-on demonstration: battery at 31% by the end of the day. It made it through my report day without a charge; Only shut it off during breaks with 80-90% brightness & default auto-inactivity dimming. (Really happy with that).

As for music: my MP3's come up in VLC, but my OGG's come up in Eliza. The playback was fine in either, and the headphones worked fine in the jack, but the speakers in the tablet itself sounded better than expected.
