[BLU/Officers] Boston Linux Meeting Reminder, Tomorrow Wednesday, August 17, 2011 Android Tablet Wars: An Overview

[William.Ricker at FMR.COM (Ricker, William)]

Are we taping ?  

I would really like to see this, in hopes it's researching Xmas presents, but I probably have to 'choose' to go to the stadium, since family doesn't have an alternate driver yet.
