Not sure if this is old news. The Sony Xperia X1 was displayed today. The video acceleration is the same as my un-modded Tilt. Here is a video link and approx 3:30 into the video you need to pay attention. Watch how long it takes after the qwerty keyboard is exposed for the video display to draw to landscape. It also seems as this device is a resistance display and not capacitance. I was under the impression that there were video drivers being used on this device. however the overall design is well thought out, and the GUI, as far as the pannels go, are nice. But overall i think i will just stick with my tilt.

of course, it's made by HTC. What did you expect.
Or perhaps it a April Fool's joke...er.
I'l still be buying one.

Me too.
Also, you have to remember it is still pre-production. The drivers prolly haven't been implemented.

*looks at his crippled tilt on the desk*
I need to see some real world, real user benchmarks before any phone company sees another dime of my money.
Yeah, I guess that is true, lol.
i'm still down for an x1 whether it fixes the issue or not

Fish panel
Am I the only one that really likes the fish panel? I wish we can have that for our tilt
The fish pannel.
when she touches it does it seem like it has the Touch bug? i cant really tell.
Sorry guys, we've already got several xperia threads floating around that could have been used.
Mike
so besides the game thats included and the other ball game with the numbers, are there any other games or apps that take advantage of the tilt/motion sensor (or whatever it is.)
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430541
Everytime someone links that thread they're basically saying no. There's not really any good G-Sensor games out like on the iPhone yet, hopefully in the future there will be some though.

"good" is a relative term. It's clear apple has a growing share of "compelling-enough" apps that take advantage of the hardware that make people want it more:

I've tried Moto Racer, iGolf, and iBowl, and they're all pretty cool. I'd like to see some games like those for my Fuze.
Didn't see a topic on this, did a search so apologies if there is one...
"Bump" that application that the iPhone adverts seem to feature heavily is now on Android. It basically just shares your contact info with another phone by "bumping them together":
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/1...ick-contact-sharing-app-not-iphone-only-anym/
Downloaded it today and it's pretty good, free aswell.
Seems ok. My only quarrel is it uses some internet service to store/transfer your contact info(is this how the Iphone does it as well?). I'd prefer it turn on and use bluetooth instead. idk just my 2c
Anyone know if we can or if sometime in the future we'll be able to bump android to iphone?

I'm pretty sure the current android app works with the iPhone app but the new iPhone app has some new features we don't have as of yet.

That program looks disturbing and sleazy.
1) by proximity I presume? then how do you know it isn't being set off automatically? I.e. on a subway when the train lurches and someone happens to be standing next to you...
2) goes through your whole contact list and compares them using a 3rd party service? Ouch -- SERIOUS security failure here.
can't find it in market. lots of stuff has disappeared? Camera Zoom FX, Snap Photo Pro, Mobile Defense. What the heck! Where did they go?
Its called the ArDrone and uses the accelerometer to control it! Plus it has 2 live cameras that let you see what it sees! To bad its for the iFails. Anythink we can port it to android or windows mobile?

EDIT:
"initially designed for the Apple platforms and will be also available on other platforms in the next few months."
ooooo, android by any chance? its the only other place i can see it going haha
Found a link that shows it being controlled by Android .. AWESOME ...

Made ads smaller
Tweeked some levels
New physics gameplay elements
New chickens
Levels redesigned
all new UI

This game is coming along great.
I'd say once you have a good number of levels built and the graphics tightened up, you're fully entitled to charge for your hard work! Or perhaps always have a free basic version, but have to pay for advanced features like the level editor?
Great fun anyway, thanks
Want to compliment you on an excellent game. It's coming along nicely. The latest updates greatly improve the gameplay. Would like to see the implementation of tapping the screen anywhere to activate the chicken's special features. Tapping directly on the chicken can be a pain.
That's by far the best WP7
Game out there. Thank you.

I'm not sure how I'm going to make money from this, I'm really glad I released the beta but I don't want to charge people after playing it. What I might end up doing is releasing a big massive level pack of something and charging for that, but hopefully there will be at least 60 high quality 100% free levels for everyone to play as that's what I'm aiming for by version 1.0 which will be free I think what I'll end up doing is turning the original game into a trial with the 60 levels as well as simultaneously releasing a 'light' version containing the 60 levels, that way hopefully people won't think 'trial' means limited, I think 60 levels is plenty of fun for everyone especially for $0. Actually I'm still not too sure, 60 levels might be too much or too little for a trial, I don't want to put people off playing the game because the trial is too short but I don't want to make the trial so long and epic that people never get around to finishing it (therefore have no motivation to buy the full version).
At any rate the full version will hopefully be going for $0.99, if I can't beat Angry Birds in sheer content I can at least beat them on value for money.

I'm glad you like the latest update, I'm aiming to make future updates even better, specifically I'm looking into tweaking the way objects break and making it so that you can fire the cannon like it were a slingshot, as well as adding a tracer so you can see the rough path your chicken will take when you fire. If you have any suggestions do please throw them my way
Oh and you don't have to tap on the chicken to use its power, what makes you think you have to?

Hey thank you so much Hopefully I can make it better still, I think Angry Birds is still overall a better game and I know Rovio is going to totally squash me when they eventually release Angry Birds on WP7 They get Xbox Live branding and paid by Microsoft for the port..

Sorry, maybe I just wasn't doing it right. It seemed I tapped several time elsewhere on the screen and nothing happened but when I specifically tapped the chicken, it did its special feature. But I do love this game. It has so much potential and I believe...just my opinion, now...that once you have it perfected, MS might try to buy it or partner with you. [thinking of Halo] There's no doubt MS wants an Angry Birds type blockbuster game. Yours has that potential.
From what you've done, you are an extremely talented dev and I wish the best for you.

Thank you very much for the compliment Though I don't think Microsoft will want to buy me out, I'm just one guy, it would be easier to have me killed and take my code
As for the tapping thing, hmm, I'm starting to wonder that maybe you stumbled on a bug somewhere..

I don't really think so. People would have to pay for angry birds, wouldn't they? But even if not, I think both games can coexist without any problem. I mean, I loved Angry Birds on Android. But you know what's better than one high quality games of a certain type? Two high quality games of that certain type. And yours is definitely high quality. No doubt about that, mate. Excellent job.

I think they will co-exist nicely, depending on pricing as you know MS will prob charge £3.49 or more for Angry Birds going by the price differences between WP7 and iOS apps

I hope you're right, I'm going to be pricing this at the $1 mark and pushing more free content so hopefully that will make up for the fact it's not angry birds
A lot of people giving the game reviews want more levels, so I've released 0.6 now, it doesn't have eerything I wanted to put into it but..
In addition to five more levels the cannon now behaves like a slingshot (i.e. pull back to fire), if you move your finger to the right side of the cannon you dis-engage it.
If you're pinching or dragging the camera around there is no chance of activating the cannon.
The camera will go back to its last position/zoom setting after a chicken has finished being fired (and stopped moving). This only works with ch
ickens when their special power is not activated.
Level loading speeds have been dramatically increased, after an initial ~7 second wait for the first level to load the rest will load very quickly (almost instantly) until the app closes The reason for this is that content is now shared between all levels.
And here's a teaser screenshot of one of the new levels: http://imgur.com/fNYH3
I think there are about five new levels in the update, I'm sorry I couldn't make it more, I have a day job and it's 2am (I get up at 6 XD).
I will be working on more levels so by the time this gets approved I'll hopefully have v0.7 ready for submission
Release date is whenever Microsoft approves the update (hopefully sometime later this week).
So I've hopefully addressed the annoyances with the clumsiness of the cannon and now levels load much faster (after the first load anyway) so that should be good. On my Omnia 7 there are no load times, it's circle in/circle out.

I went to install this app on a LG Quantum and it does not show up. One issue might have been my battery may have died during installation(died 5 minutes after I hit install). Zune says its installed, but I can't even find it. Any ideas? I neeeeeed this app!!! Thanks.

Yeah it's probably because it shutdown half way through, not too sure what you can do about that htough. Maybe try asking in a WP7 specific help forum?
As good as your game is, I also want to recognize you for doing something most others do not do in app making: adhering to themes for the tiles.
Thank you so much for this.

oh right, yeah that's fairly easy to do using png transparencies...
If you are going to keep it free indefinitely then perhaps you should open source it so that other devs and join in and improve the game?
If you alone could make something that's so close to Angry Birds, imagine what a group of devs could do. It just needs a bit more polish, but it's oh so close.

I'm hoping to profit from it eventually I don't think I'll make much money though considering the status of the game but it would be nice to get something material in return for all the work I've put into it
