_{Phoebe has gone off to the States to attend to some family business and a much-needed break. She may be gone for much of the summer but when she comes back I believe her plan is to go back to real estate more-or-less full time. I think she would love to retire "in theory", but knowing Phoebe I bet she won't!}

My Motorola Xoom utterly, totally crashed awhile back and I ended up sending it back to the States for repair because I had purchased an "international" maintenance warranty (from Best Buy) with it. I only had to pay to get it back there, everything else was covered. They fixed it perfectly and I had it back via Fedex in a few days. So if you want to stick with Android, either get it at a place like Best Buy in GDL so you have a Mexican one and they will fix it for you in GDL, or if you want to save a bundle and bring it down from the U.S., take a look at one of those warranty things. The U.S. maintenance plans are completely different from the Mexican ones, no matter what they tell you. I did try taking my bricked Xoom to GDL to Best Buy and they would have happily repaired it, but charged me full tilt retail for the repair. When I got in touch with the international warranty people, they sent me a mailing box and clear instructions and it was relatively simple to get it fixed and have it sent back here.

Maybe try taking it to the repair department/Geek Squad at Best Buy?

Terrific news! Keep us all posted on the progress!

Just for curiosity, how many meters IS it from end to end of the tianguis? What's the "fundraising goal"?
