However, it does create an easy way for people to transfer apps over to the SD card to free up more internal memory space. Many people have no idea how to use their SD cards and this Lin2SD app helps those people.

The Link2SD app is just one of the great apps available out there for anyone who has the HP SlateBook. There are heaps of other devices you will want to install after you root the HP SlateBook 10 x2 device, so here is the guide:
