Just a bit more info:

	https://github.com/zareason/android_local_manifest
	#zareason IRC channel on freenode.net

were provided as contact references for developer news.  There is not
much visible activity, and the getting started instructions did not work
for me.  I'm not looking for help!  This was just idle curiosity.

The screen is lightly scuffed.  I did not buy a case and did not realize
the screen would suffer in my back pack.  I now keep it in the original
wrapper.  The scuffs are not visible when the screen is lit and they
have not caused me any difficulties.
