    Android 2.2 running on HD2

    I broke down and made the lunge. I finally decided to hack my hd2.
    After being disappointed with all of the previous builds due to slowness and crashing issues. This latest build is running great.

    Quick Tech Tip: IE8 Will Not Install SSL Certificate

    I was able to test this successfully in windows 7. Not sure about vista.
    But anyway, in the old days of windows xp with server 2003 and self signed certs, you could easy just install the cert straight from the browser. When you try and do it now, it seems as though those install cert options are gone. Well they actually are not. All you need to do 1st is add the secure site to your internet explorer trusted sites, reload the page. Then you will be able to install the cert straight from the browser!
