Questions / Issues to resolve:

General Configuration:

  • 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

Process:

  • 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.
