I didn't read the whole email (Virus Coming) before I forwarded it. It would
have to be a fake. My apologies for forwarding it and wasting your time.

Sorta FOSS/LNX, but I know a burning interest for many of you.
The big news here is:
- in the mainstream press
- *front page* of NYT. Deemed 'important'
"The Patent, Used as a Sword", 4750 wds

I don't know if you can do it in 1.6, but newer releases you can export your
contacts. Just go to people, option key, export to SD card. Import is
reverse.
There is no similar export for sms's but there are some free backup tools in
market (again, not sure about 1.6 compatibility):
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sms+backup&c=apps
If that fails, the sms's are stored in some database files, something like:
/data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Again, the file format or location might have changed since 1.6.
You might want to do a find for anything with sms under /data in case there
are multiples. If you have USB debugging enabled, you can connect via adb
and pull the files onto your pc, copy with terminal app, or some file
managers might let you browse to /data and copy to sd card.

Contacts can be synched to Google's services if you're comfortable with the
privacy implications.
I use Titanium Backup to create backups on the SD card, then copy the data
to a safe place.

Hi David,
It would appear that either your computer has a nasty infection or
you have failed an intelligence test. Perhaps the first place to start the
cleanup (after disconnecting from the internet with scissors?) is to remove
Outlook Express.

Yep, I've had that problem. Seems to have been fixed in the last
couple of releases. I put it down to the Tegra 2 firmware not being
quite ready for prime-time (IMHO a lot of this device smell of "rush
to market to beat the iPad").
It updated itself to Jellybean recently and the scrolling's
noticeably faster/smoother. Anything that really used the 3D graphics
was always completely smooth (Mostly 1st/2nd party demo apps really).
