Qik for Android now in the market - G1 Apps and Games

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.

NBA Close Up... Review+Screenshots

Well, no I dont work for T-mobile, nor am i working for the NBA... this we know. But I took some screenshots and thought id post this here..
Believe me I searched, multiple combos to not double post.. although I read somewhere about it, but couldnt find that post..
screenshots are below
Layout of App:
1. 4 cam main menu (Home Player Cam, Away Player Cam, Close Up Cam, Scoreboard Cam)
2. there should be pictures of each camera angle... these were taken at the half of the cavs vs magic game 2.
Review:
It could be better, from the clear details that LUKLUK and Youtube HD (on Wifi), its kinda upsetting.. but it does give you great angles..
As for the delay, Id give it 10-15 seconds behind... i thought one time it was maybe 5 seconds, but no, played myself.
Overall, its not a bad deal for .99 cents. Hopefully there can be a better video quality and i guess a more user friendly UI.
By the way this is being used on JFv1.5.
Not in any way am i trying to boost T-Mobile's sales... they got enough of my money with my bills.
Thanks.
Super appreciate this post. Was thinking about getting this app, even though my beloved Blazers have gone fishing.
The screens don't look half as bad as I thought they would. Hows the feed? Choppy? Thanks again.

the feeed isnt too choppy... but i was using wi-fi... i mean i guess its not a waste of a dollar... but you "expect" more i guess, compared to other video streaming apps... but it could get better
But its not really choppy during playback, i havent tested it on 3G i will next game.
but video is watchable and runs smoothly with good connections or wi-fi of course
DAMN CLEVELAND lol good game by the way. anyways yeah i was really tempted too and by the screen shots the clarity is pretty decent so i might have to pick it up even though the seasons almost done lol. but im sure it would be pretty cool to have when you cant watch the game.
Im sorry i kinda looked over it quikly but does it show stats and does it update the score pretty quikly? does it show any instant replays or anything else? j/w
thanx for reviewing this by the way
I would have definitely gotten this app if my Celtics had advanced. Oh well.
Just remember that this will most likely only work for the Eastern Conf. Finals. The four camera angles are what TNT provides on their website so I guess this is linked to that. ESPN covers the Western Conf Finals and ABC will do the Finals.
Though it was still worth it, this series is most likely going to 6 or 7 so 99 cents is definitely worth it so I can watch it in class or away from home.

ya know what, i dont think i even saw the score on there.. lol, ill have to double check... you do have the announcers commentating all game.. i believe its backed by T-mobile through their TNT connection, cus it doesnt do the west coast...
but NBA Game Time has pretty damn accurate scores and complete updates of scores etc... like 5-10 seconds delay... if that

yeah i agree with you, it could be worth it since damn near every game is a last minute shot and all the series are 7 games with twists n turns... sheesh

Pandora is Coming!!

http://tomconrad.net/2009/06/16/pandora-for-android-its-coming/
Finally we will be able to share in the love.
oh ive been waiting since i got the phone.
One thing i hope doesnt happen. I had pandora on a winmo device and sound quality was horrible i hope thats not the case for us now.
I hope it comes soon. Just googled pandora,tried it,and now I love it. Does have a .jar of of a mobile version already out? I'd like to see if I can get that to work while i wait.
I think it does. youll have to do a seach on it though.

Oh yummy. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve, can't wait to open pandora's box. One app I've been dying to get my hands on since I got a G1. Hack away at that jarfile.

Tell me why I should use this over Last.Fm
I have been using last.fm for a few years now, its the single best thing about XBMC. What does pandora do that last.fm does not?
Last.Fm bitrate is very clear and stable, android players take a bit to buffer but this is related to hardware not software. It has just about EVERYTHING I have ever searched for and I have searched for some little known punkrock bands.
The thing I hate about pandora on my friends iphone is the damn skip limit. When I showed him last.fm he was amazed I could skip tracks forever.

So what your saying is.... There is no reason to be excited at all. Unless you have never used last.fm that is.
If there's a skip limit I'll stick with last.fm, that's a deal killer so no thanks to this and eyemeem
don't overlook the most important aspect of Pandora...
The Music Genome Project, an ambitious attempt at mapping the things that have influenced the artists we all listen to. I've been exposed to great music I likely would not have heard had it not been for The MGP.
atleast last.fm works in the uk, just tried pandora website now and it says no longer available outside the US

Androrb- ORB for android- please check this out!

hey have any of you guys seen this? http://www.cyrket.com/asset/943468869273605197 its orb for android, only problem is there is no search function for it!
do any of you mods or gods (cyanogen, etc) or normal folk (lol) know how to or could you add a search function or sort in artists, albums??
its open source now, so you could even make a quick buck!
http://christian-albert-mueller.com/blog/androrb-now-open-source/
I love this on the iphone, so it would be really great for android!
80 views and nothing?
I've been using that alpha for awhile now. Very buggy, video playback is sorely lacking codec support, music playback is marginal at best. Lack of search function and cumbersome file browsing make this app fail imo. Needs help badly but could be a cool package with some work.
Wow, almost made a new post because this one is dead.
I mean c'mon it's Orb for Android! I'm pretty geeked at how some of the videos I sampled from PC actually streams on here! C'mon surely there is someone that's interested in picking up the open source code and adding in better browsing options like browsing by folder & search! This have potential to be one of the most kickass apps on here!
i had orb streaming live tv and my media from my pc but it broke after cupcake for some reason i would love an app for this
Bump... This app needs some work!
Not working on Droid
I gave up Windows Mobile (which worked pretty well with Orb) and got a Droid yesterday. It is a fantastic device, but I have been pretty disappointed with the lack of Orb support. I would be willing to pay to see a stable Orb app, and a Hulu app too! (it would be nice if Orb started to stream Hulu to mobile devices, I know they already do some internet vids).
What's wrong with just using the mobile browser site? I've been using it almost since I got my G1 and it generally works fine.
I saw that this is now open-sourced but not a single dev has picked this up to finish. I see that it has great potential and a lot of the base has been completed, just needs some fine tuning.

Anybody know where is the list that Adobe provided of optimized sites?
This is a site everyone knows about but I'm listening to the Phoenix vs. Lakers game live via the ESPN homepage and their Flash enabled audio player. It's so freaking cool looking! And sounding!
My Nexus screen even dims but does not timeout, like it KNOWS I'm listening to audio, not watching video!
I'm absolutely thrilled with Flash performance! I cannot imagine being on any other platform! There is SOOO much killer content we're going to be able to take advantage of. Especially sports games I normally would not have access to while mobile, are now going to be possible via Flash!!!
Flash runs pretty choppy for me. Not sure how you guys use it for games.

[Q] Spectral Souls

Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!
Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.
I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....
Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.
