Questions / Issues to resolve:
...
- Turn off Google voice typing?
- Change behavior of holding down home key so it doesn't bring up voice search?
- Remove reset app preferences somehow?
- How do you actually remove all the extra applications?
- Is there some benefit to the Samsung tools. Never researched.
Applications:
- Why do we have both Firefox and Chrome?
- Firefox - How to better control what's on the "Top Sites" Tab
...
- How can we copy configurations so we can clone tablets? Would allow easier setup and allow us to create a process to "reset" a tablet.
