Qik for Android now in the market

You can now stream video straight from your phone to the internet. Search for qik in the marketplace. This is the same video streaming app that is available on the iphone and it works like a charm. I dont think there is sound though, just images, anyone willing to check it out, im at work

Played with it some.. There is audio. Video quality is decent, speed is poor. Stuttered and stalled often too (streaming via WiFi to Qik, PC I was viewing on was wired to a different broadband connection and both links should have had more than enough bandwidth).
Looks fun - will try again in a few days, hopefully it's just bogged down today since it was just released to a new platform.
Oh, and lag ... I haven't used many webcam / streaming apps, but I had the impression they went faster than this usually.. Shortest lag was 10-15 seconds, typically the stream ran more like 30 - 90 sec behind. Again, looked cool enough that I'll give it a few days or so and try again.

testing it now......

Damn it i cant find it on the market.

Thanx that did it. I wonder why sometimes new apps are not bumped to the top on the by date tab, we might be missing out on some great apps.

what can i say its a phone.some ppl ask for a whole lot from a phone. i think its a cool app for some ppl who don't get to c there family that live far away.yall need to stop being so damn ungrateful

Noone is being ungrateful. Someone offered a review of the app, just like anyone else would, unless you want to provide one yourself and sound like you're riding someones nutsack rather than giving a review. But that's just my opinion, just like you have yours. Good day

I'm very grateful for this free app. Better? Seriously, I wasn't trashing it - just giving honest feedback. And if you'd read it again, you see I'm making excuses for most of the bad things about the app (newly released to Android, their servers may have been busy -- plus it may need optimization).
Anyway, yeah - I know it's a phone. But it's got more horsepower and RAM than the first few PCs I owned, combined -- so I know firsthand there's enough power in this thing to do some awesome stuff. I get excited when I see an app like Qik that tries to push the envelope a bit. I hope they do get it optimized and working better.

new music app

What I'm about to say is going to stir up a bit of controversy, but Android lacks any sort of good music app. Someone should try to replicate the iPhones Music player UI as best as possible.

man i tried so many times but no developers wanna go that route of duplicating..
so i tried something way different then hero..g1...iphone..
i havent seen one like this..
even if i can trade services/applications (mobile or computer) or something to get atleast a music app for me created lol.. that would be sweet!!!

Then may I suggest that you have bigger buttons. Remember most android phones are 3.2" screens. Simple, discreet, seperate buttons on the bottom.

One app will pwn them all. Tunewiki. 'Nuff said.

.................

Well i dont own a G1 anymore..i now have a cliq
On my old G1 i never got to use earphones because it didnt support the 3.5mm....on the cliq it does! I love it buttt one huge thing is the quality of the sound. I have Bose earphones...they sound really great on my iPod and other MP3's but not on the cliq. The EQ is really nasty..so aanyways my questions are
Is this only on the cliq?
Is it possible to change the EQ at all?
Can someone please make an APP with this feature?
If this CANT be done, then why not?
Hope someone replies
thank you and long live ANDROID!

While your proposed layout looks great, that text is so small that there is not even any point of putting the info on there.
Basically you can get 8 lines of usable text with enough buffer around the words to act as buttons.
In your track list pic you are running 14 lines.
That's like a 10 point font change. And I think the phone's default is like 8 point font.
A lot of the functions you are showing are similar to Tunewiki.
And Tune wiki comes with last.fm built in. Has a built in widget. Not to mention the ability to interface with Flyscreen.
What would your player bring to the table that is new or different other than the basic look?

yeah i worte my player with the intention of making it capable of doing that, as well as adding songs to the current playlist. it makes the initial writing a bit more complex but real pays off

Off topic slightly, but yes there is an equaliser it is VERY VERY good and really works.
I have some great headphones but always thought the sound from my Hero was lacking in treble.
You can even change the volume level for each channel separately.
Anyway screen shots attached, but wait for it....... it's £18!!!

it should be a good app comin.. cant wait!!

MLB At Bat 2010

Not sure if anyone else noticed, or is excited like I am, but MLB At Bat is now on the market. Royals fan here. It's $14.99, so a little steep but we will see how long I can hold out from buying it. Just wanted to bring this to anyones attention who might be excited as me. Go Royals, where staying out of last place is a success.

Question to anyone who has bought.
This obviously is the "app" which I presume MLB has has built in "Gameday Audio" of some sort (which you can buy online at mlb.tv for the season.) Does anyone know if you can use your gmail and then sign in via a web browser on a computer to use, if you were say at a computer instead of your phone?...

KC Native here man, hell yea, someone make a summary and tell us if it is worth it.

I can't see it being worth $15. I can just go to the mobile site and get all the information I need for free. The game audio is a cool feature but if I'm not home to watch the game chances are wherever I am I can't listen to it.

Last years beta was the ****. I listened to the WS while on the road (Phils & Yanks fan here, so I was torn the entire series). Sure you can get all the stats & whatnot on a PC, but if you're not at your PC, the app was well worth it.
Unfortunately, the $14.99 price tag is WAY too steep for this. Although you can listen to the games, if your phone goes to sleep, or if you get a text, or do anything that pulls you away from the app, the stream stops & you have to re-initialize. PITA when you're multi-tasking on your device.
Now if they cut a cool $10 off the price, I'd consider it. I'd consider it even more if that $4.99 price tag gave me free updates of the app every year. Here's a question though (and I'm going to try this myself): If anyone still has the beta, have you tried installing it to see if it still works? If it does, what makes MLB think I'm gonna pay them $14.99 for an app I got for free, FROM THEM?!
Just a thought...

I have this app, only worth the $15 if your a hardcore baseball fan. Everything seems to work a lot smoother then last years beta though.

I don't have last years beta anymore but I would be shocked if it worked. The app is called At Bat 2010. They fully intend to make sure it does not work next season. Last year's probably can't get to this season's schedule.
I bought it because I'll be able to use it at work where I can't pick up AM radio and have no android slingbox app. It sucks that iphone gets live video and the others don't. I wouldn't use the live video much since they blackout the local games, but that would at least justify the price. The video highlights are good quality. Much better than what I saw of the NBA app.

I have last year's Beta. When you load it, only works up until the last game of the WS last year and sometimes the winter league games pop up but the beta is useless.

This app is awesome and worth the time installing it. Get all the games with the push of a button, including audio, stats and video highlights after the game. Well worth the investment IMO

Anyone played reckless racing

Reckless Racing for Android
Love this game
http://androidapproved.com/item/reckless-racing-for-android/

Looks good. I'ma check it out.

finally, an impressive looking racing game, I might pick this up

Yeah mulitplayer mode is the best...

By far one of the best examples of great graphics and physics, mostly physics. It is somewhat challenging to control but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier.

Why can I not find this in the app store? Im dying for a good racing game.

It got pulled due to their servers being overloaded. It should be back up eventually.
This is the only game that I've seen that is truly impressive. The graphics are amazing for a mobile game (wouldn't look out of place as an xbox live arcade title). The default controls (auto accelerate with left, right and brake) are perfect. If this game came out on PC I'd play it.

I'd love to try it out, but it's not in the Market. When I found a QR code for it, I just got a "file not found" message. I even tried using Market Access. I'm willing to pay for it, but its lack of availability through mainstream channels may force me to look for it elsewhere.

If you do and you like it, please buy it when it comes back on the market. I want games like this to succeed so we get more quality games in future.

Awesome. Sucks it got pulled but I will definitely keep my eye out for it.

Is anyone else having problems getting online with this game?

Yup. I wasn't able to get into a server all weekend.
Single players still fun though. Great game.
Reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noDi1IzuotM
Found an update on the server issue: http://www.polarbit.com/2010/10/update-reckless-racing/

I hope the gameplay makes up for what Polarbit as a company lacks in class and professionalism. They posted a picture of Johnny Cash giving the middle finger on their website because people are running pirated copies. Maybe if they didn't take it off the market... I'm sure people would pay for it if they actually could. On top of that, they're basically blaming their overloaded servers on the number of pirated copies floating around, which is a bull**** cop out.

It's back on the market. Just got it.

Actually, I did find one through other means, but liked the game enough that I bought it today, since I was finally able to do so. Who's to say if other people are as reputable as I. I would bet that server outage cost them a lot of sales.

I just flat out bought it because of the 24hr return policy but this game is worth it.

Bought it... haven't had much opportunity to play it yet but the minute or so I tried it looks really good.

just bought this game and it's pretty awesome with nice graphics.

Netflix pissing me off. Nintendo 3DS, sure. Xoom? Nope

Netflix now has an app for the Nintendo 3DS, yet we can't get one for these Tetra 2 powerhouses. Hell, it works on my Nook!
Its really annoying. I cancelled my account.
If you have an account, please call and ask about it. The more people complain, the more likely they are to make the fix.
Ill restart my subscription if they get it going, but for now, Netflix has lost a customer.
Has anyone heard if/when they are going to step up?
I have to admit that I am surprised that nvidia isn't screaming at them.

i just got my own account the other day, i've been piggybacking off of others for like a year and a half. I can't wait to have it on my xoom so I can just plug it into my living room TV instead of lugging one of my consoles out there, but I can wait.

I couldnt help but to laugh when I first saw a youtube video on 3Ds...I mean it was a big slap in the face to all xoom users.

youtube video?

yeah, we get it, netflix is on the 3ds. this WAS announced from the start you know.

And its not like the doesn't work on the zoom, they just disabled the streaming portion. It took them almost a year after the HTC evolution came to even release an android client, no telling how long for a tablet version.

Yeah no kidding Netflix should be a given on such power full tablets I just don't get it
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Haha I do have Netflix on my 3DS right now!
But for my Xoom, nah not possible yet, I hear ya OP. But the 3DS is Nintendo. The Wii is one of the consoles that Netflix fully supports, and if you look at the 3DS version, it's basically the same app ported over from the Wii to the smaller portable 3DS screen.
Nintendo and Netflix have a console+steaming service relationship. They will always officially support each other, no matter what. This is not the case with Android. Not fully and completely supported, not just yet anyways.
We will see full Android support for Netflix in due time. Maybe when Ice cream sandwich makes its debut, who knows. All new tablets and phones will run the same exact OS, making it pretty easy to fully support all devices without a problem. That's what I believe they are looking to do. Makes perfect sense.

The is one of the worst consoles ever. My kids wont even play it, thed rather play angry birds on my phone/tablet. Just email netflix ever day about the xoom...bug the crap out of them

That would be nice, if they listed an email address or had a form to submit. Their customer service contact page only shows a phone number. But, I did just call and had a refreshingly frank discussion with the rep who answered my call. He said they were actively working on it and the issue was related to meeting studios' requirements for DRM in Honeycomb tablets. He was aware of the discussions here and on the other Xoom forum and he even said that some users had been able to change settings to make it work (he wasn't specific, but I presume he meant the build.prop device ID or something like that). I'm still running stock, so I told him this wasn't an option but I thanked him for his candor. He said it was definitely in development, but was unable to provide a timeframe.
I have to admit that his knowledge of the issue and his apparent honesty have me satisfied for the moment and willing to wait a while longer.

This whole thing with neflix cracked me up. I always thought their streaming selection was pretty weak, I only wanted the dvd's as the last rental place in my town went out of business. So I dropped the streaming part, kept the dvd's and saved $2 bucks. To add to that, I always end up using www.crackle.com as it's free and has lots of good movies and shows. It'll also work on the Xoom browser and on my ps3. Netflix screwed up, greedy company is greedy!

Crackle looks interesting but I can't use it without an almost immediate FC on my stock browser. And keeping a pc running at home while I travel, just so I can run a third party streamer, seems unnecessary. I, for 1, am willing to wait a bit longer... (at least until I find something better)

Playon has to be the biggest piece of crap, you can't even rewind with that or skip forward while playing Netflix, also if viewing Netflix thru playon it wont remember your position if you stop and resume later, splashtop is way better.
