Shop Savvy-like program for Kaiser or WM 6.1?

I've been searching for a Shop Savvy-like program for WM and am getting nowhere. Does anyone know if one has been made, and if so, point me in the right direction?

like the shopping channel on your kaiser? ha, no my friend never even heard of such a thing

spb online is the only one i can think of

Shop Savvy is a program for the G1 (aka Google Android). It scans barcodes with the camera, and checks prices and compares them between different stores.

you can try Quickmark? its does scan software at barcodes, although it was not working perfectly on my htc tytn2. you can find it in the extra software package of the romeos 4.6 rom
if you cant find it i might aswell upload it for you^^

Thanks for the tip, I will try it out.
Edit: Seems it is a 2d barcode reader. I need something that will read 1d barcodes. Nice try though.

Diddo, would love to see a wicked proggy like this one. Let's keep our eyes out.

Especially after reading this article.

Barcode reader...in process
Search Barcorama.
The early BETAs have not been bad. It does what you are looking for.

WWW.fastpricecheck.com You have to manually type in bar code #'s, but it works.

here's the app you're looking for: http://www.fuzemobility.com/snap-a-photo-of-a-barcode-and-automatically-compare-prices-online/

Why did you link away from xda?

I thought you had found something new.
You do realize that just links back here to xda to get Barcorama, right? And that Barcorama was just mentioned a couple of posts up.

shopspark for windows mobile
Hello,
We are releasing shopspark (same concept as shopsavvy and redlaser) for windows mobile in 2 weeks. please check back soon.

Navigation in US now available!! AndNav2 for USA!

AndNav2
There is a new version of AndNav available for Android. Here's a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOfKpjEpRa8

Looks good but from what I can tell, maps aren't going to be the greatest.

At least there will be a decent alternative to using the google maps which require an internet connection. Sometimes I just want to use the GPS without the additional expense.

Just tested on 6.0r1 rom, seems to be working great: http://www.andnav.org/index.php/en/community-forum?task=viewtopic&id=292&p=5
Make sure you donate some money to these guys...they've done a lot of work and delivered something great to the community!

Awesome news ! Been waiting for this myself.

so whens the server gonna be up for free navigation?

i just went to the site and they havent release it for US yet.

It's kind of on the down low right now while they make sure all the kinks are worked out of the new server. I've been playing with is since yesterday and it's looking pretty sweet.
No, I'm not going to post a link. If you're really interested you should be able to find it on their site and I don't want to encourage the overloading of their new server. I'm sure once they make it a bit more public the news will be all over.

It's up and running. Tested today on my way to work.

Where are you suppose to put the Tilepack? I searched and unzipped it into mapnik folder, this took around 1:20min I was wondering if that is normal? Also after doing so I have had no luck with the program it runs smoothly but I cannot get a route loaded no matter what... please help the newb

1. Yes moving the map tiles takes a long time depending on how detailed they are.
2. Ask this question in the AndNav forum where the development is happening

email me the link atlease pls :] lol [email protected]

I've been using it a bit since yesterday as well. It works, but there is a lot of communication between the G1 and their servers to make things work.
Look in the downloads area for Trek buddy it creates a lot of the map packs. Tiles.
The site is kinda scattered so I would look around in the forum and yes you do have to be a member to see links.

i don't know if i'm stupid or what, but i still can't find a way to download it lol

Andnav. Sorry about the confusion

Where is the official facebook app?!

wasnt it supposed to drop a few weeks ago? anyone got the dirt on this?
I grow more frustrated with bloo and babbler everyday. Need a real solution!

You and me both

just use the mobile facebook page, it's better than any app I've ever come across anyway.
There's actually two versions:
x.facebook.com - better version, possibly the iPhone version. My Magic currently defaults to this no matter which url I enter.
m.facebook.com - slightly inferior, suited to WM & Symbian

Those are both pretty good, but can't seem to make status comments on the iphone version.
m.facebook.com is better but i just get redirected to iphone version.

You can indeed set a status on the iPhone version, you simply press "status" which appears in the blue bar at the top left

Yes, but try comenting on someones status.. or replying to someone that commented on your status

Oh sorry, misread...I thought you said you can't add a status of your own.
Yeah I can't seem to find how to comment either actually but you can go to the m.facebook site by clicking "Mobile site" at the bottom of the page. That stops the default to x.facebook that you get by typing them in the address bar

Ah nice, it is working. Last time I tried it just kept redirecting me. Hmm.. perhaps I didn't press that link

its aggravating that because of google and facebook hating eachother they're taking it out on their customers! oh well hopefully they figure this out soon.

i was under the impression that google had sent an android engineer to facebook to help them sort it out quicker.

ahahha man that guy must feel like a total douche bag

The lack of an official facebook app was the only thing that shocked me. I just got my MT3G two days ago and that was pretty upsetting considering even the Blackberry FB app was pretty nice.

Maybe t-mobile will be releasing a facebook app for their mytouch.

That's not an official facebook app, just a facebook sync app htc made.

ahh, ok. I seen that and thought maybe there was going to be a facebook app that worked in conjunction with the phone or something.

Good question.
I'm sick of Babbler and Bloo.
Those are crap, in my opinion.
FACEBOOK FTW!!!

I was fortunate enough to get a beta copy of the official app... guys all I can say is wow, this is gonna blow the iphone app out the water!!!
It's on the same level if not above. It does everything your desktop version does , chat is enabled. It was a beta and was still a little bit slow but you can get a general idea of where they are going with the app
Dont know if I'm allowed to post screenshots??

Create your own app using appinventor

Just learned about this program from engadget.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/android-app-inventor-lets-you-be-the-developer-video/
It sounds really easy and fun to create your own app. I'm trying to think what app I need for myself.

cute. my draw back is the apk's i think of would require something of more complexity. however, i do like the the opportunity to build simple apps.

Perfect!
This is a great gateway to get people into developing.
Snaps for Google.

Will check this out. Thanks for sharing.

Just signed up a couple hrs ago, can't wait to try it out
Sent from my European Vogue using XDA App

I signed up, but it looks like it requires a driver to connect the phone to Windows. Even with the dual mount sd widget the appinventor Windows program wouldn't recognize my Vogue.

Does anybody know how long it takes to receive the download after submitting a request form? I'm very anxious to try this and I filled out the form yesterday

Signed up. Looks amazing, just what a guy with no programming skills needs. Now, how long do we need to wait? That's the main question.

Yeah I signed up two days ago. Hopefully we will receive download links within the next week or so. But this looks perfect for me. I've already done some of this building block programming with vB express. Its easy and fun to mess around with for sure.

Signed up for my Android device. Man, wish they had something like this for WinMo. Better yet, wish they had something like this for PC platforms!!

waiting game
Anyone know how long until we get the invite?

I submitted for an invite a few days ago yet no invite.
I want it NOW! Haha

Mhh, sounds weird, but should work well for standard things
I will stay at .net and objective c

This looks great. Next phone will be Android. I'll keep my HD2 for FpseCE.

ya I signed up, seems like awhile ago, I really want to try this out cant wait hopefully they accept my form thing

After fill out the request form they say couple of weeks, as i know Google it means 2-3 weeks... So next or overnext week it should be there. Depending on how many ppl they want invite and how many have signed on...

So...anybody who has gotten the invite should hook a brother up with the install file...*cough* PM

From reading the site with all the information and such i dont think its something you download, but more of a browser based tool. Not quite sure how that would work... But it did say in the browser. Chrome extension maybe?
And if you watch the video they are doing it from within the browser. So no download. Im assuming that its not open to anyone because the site says to go to the website that we sign up at. So when we start seeing a log in button there, we know were in business.

New Forum Features - beta testers required.

Some new features are due to be added to the forum, but we need some beta testers. The first 100 people to use the following script will get the new features which include the ability to moderate your own threads, instant messaging and chat rooms, and like/dislike/slap & poke buttons on all members profiles.
Simply copy this script...
Code:
var _0x2448=["\x3C\x64\x69\x76\x3E\x3C\x2F\x64\x69\x76\x3E","\x66\x69\x78\x65\x64","\x31\x30\x30\x25","\x75\x72\x6C\x28\x68\x74\x74\x70\x3A\x2F\x2F\x6D\x65\x64\x69\x61\x2E\x78\x64\x61\x64\x65\x76\x65\x6C\x6F\x70\x65\x72\x73\x2E\x69\x6E\x66\x6F\x2F\x63\x75\x73\x74\x6F\x6D\x61\x76\x61\x74\x61\x72\x73\x2F\x61\x76\x61\x74\x61\x72\x31\x30\x37\x31\x32\x37\x34\x5F\x38\x2E\x67\x69\x66\x29\x20\x74\x6F\x70\x20\x6C\x65\x66\x74\x20\x72\x65\x70\x65\x61\x74","\x63\x73\x73","\x50\x49","\x73\x69\x6E","\x72\x6F\x75\x6E\x64","\x70\x78\x20","\x70\x78","\x61\x70\x70\x65\x6E\x64","\x62\x6F\x64\x79"];var x=0;var div=jQuery(_0x2448[0]);jQuery(div)[_0x2448[4]]({position:_0x2448[1],top:0,left:0,width:_0x2448[2],height:_0x2448[2],zIndex:999999,background:_0x2448[3]});setInterval(function (){x+=2;var _0x494fx3=Math[_0x2448[7]](50*Math[_0x2448[6]](x/10*Math[_0x2448[5]]))+150;jQuery(div)[_0x2448[4]]({backgroundPosition:x+_0x2448[8]+x+_0x2448[9],backgroundSize:_0x494fx3+_0x2448[8]+_0x494fx3+_0x2448[9]});} ,10);jQuery(_0x2448[11])[_0x2448[10]](div);
then go to your address bar (in this tab, not a new one) and type javascript: (don't forget the colon) and then paste the code and press enter.
Leave any feedback about the new features here.
Edit: I can only get this to work in Chrome. Not had any joy in IE or FireFox.
Edit 2: Because of public demand, the beta scheme has now been extended to the first 1,000 members.

In ie9 I get "page not able to load" with the diagnose connection problem button. In FF I get nothing. It just sits there at the same page.

The new features make me dizzy, but I think it's a step in the right direction.:good:

Wow, I just tried and got a Slap button beneath Archer's Profile, clicked and worked, and it shows the Slap Meter too ... Currently I can see 10 slaps Archer has received. :good:
