NFL Sunday Ticket?? - G1 Apps and Games

I was wondering if anyone has any info on a Directv Sunday Ticket app for Android? Directv recently released info regarding the NFL Sunday ticket being available to watch games on your phone live. Currently it appears this app is only available on the Iphone & a couple of Windows mobile phones. Was wondering if anyone had was working on converting the app for Android, and creating a similar app?
Here is the link: https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/sports/nfl_online_mobile

Was super interested as well.
There forums had a response stating Iphones popularity blah blah if Android demand was there etc etc.
They seem open to it and at least we know its not something stupidly contractual.
btw I didnt have G1 during football season. Are there any football/NFL related apps that would interest me ?
NFL network on sprint was always really choppy and NFL mobile was a clusterfu!! of terrible slowness. Im hoping going away from PPC shows some decent apps.

There's a free "Pro Football" app by Plusmo, Inc. that's definitely worth a download. Esp if youre a fantasy player.

Qik and uStream?

Now that video is being rolled out to the masses, does anyone here have any inside info on these two services making their way to the G1? I know some hacked iPhones have this ability already, but I think those are special cases.
I am hoping one of the live video sites puts something out soon. Stickam has the viewer app out so far which lets you watch live streams. When I emailed them to find out about them bringing their mobile broadcaster to android I got no response. Qik hasn't responded to any questions about the G1 or android in the past few weeks on their getsatisfation page. Where I see you are active.
Seems like it is a waiting game which sucks. I am tired of mobile broadcasting using a laptop and webcam.
If you want Qik to come to android please add a post to this thread on Qik's help page so they know that lots of us are waiting. http://getsatisfaction.com/qik/topics/is_qik_coming_to_t_mobile_g1

Official NFL, MLB, NHL apps?!

Ok so NBA released their pretty sweet application for android.
It would be nice to see NFL MLB and NHL follow in its footsteps with official apps of their own...NFL just found its way onto the Pre already and I believe MLB is on iPhone...
Maybe it would be nice to include us android folk?
I love sports tap but its always nice to have the "official" app of the sport...
speaking of... anyone know where the NBA Gametime app went? I cant find it in the market...

"Things are about to change, as id President Todd Hollenshead announced during the QuakeCon 2009 press conference that Quake Live would soon be adding support for Linux and Macintosh systems. Users who want to catch an early glimpse of the enhancements can do that at QuakeCon, since both versions of the plugin are available for testing on the show floor. Non-attendees will have to wait for the update that is scheduled to come on August the 18th, this Tuesday."

"On the heels of the recent announcement that Quake Live will be coming to Mac and Linux, a new subscription service was announced. John Carmack, founder of id Software, told a crowd at QuakeCon that in-game advertisements would no longer be enough to support the project and keep it free to play. The subscription service will become available at a future date for an undisclosed fee. A subscription would grant the user the ability to create their own private server and customize it to their liking. A subscription will never be required, allowing those gamers who don't choose to purchase one to continue to play the game for free."
No such issue for free users "unless we want extras"
After installing the plugin, when it loads the game it hangs up at around 74%. Tried twice...
I prefer things a little more old school

Floor Plan App

Just wondering if anyone has come across an app for creating basic floor plan designs?
I've had a look on the market and can't seem to find anything... maybe just need to get a basic drawing app.
Have you tried Autocad WS ?
floor plan app
I've been hunting down an app to create floor plans for a remodel.
The app I've found that is exactly what I'd want is unfortunately apple only.
Magic plan by sensopia, they have been saying they are doing an android version for over a year but they don't exactly instill confidence with their replies.
"Not enough market share with android, not enough Droid phones wit gyros, we updated the iPhone one now we gotta start over with the android version.."
Umm did you think of maybe developing them together?..
I've heard hints of apps coming soon from others to compete but no solid info about who's doing it and for what devices yet.
Anyone have info please update all of us too.
Thanks..

THIS.
Don't come in here asking how to bork devs out of money they deserve.
Well if say you work somewhere would you like it if your employer does not pay you for your work?
I have owned many different mobile OS and i always pay for my apps after using Android for 3 years i payed 60€ in total for 88 payed apps. Are you that cheap?

ok............................
soo why are you making a wp7 custom rom? or the bazaar app ( its like installus right?) ?
if you pay for it why do need need developers for... (android dev i understand...)
edit: you can lock... i read somewhere i got my answer...
CustomROMs and Unlocks enable you to run Apps that are not possible with the official APIs. Bazaar is an alternate Marketplace that provides the possibility to centrally discover and install those Apps not possible in the official Marketplace. Bazaar does not allow you to pirate applications from the official Marketplace.

Its people like you that have already destroyed the PC games market something I personally loved and could out perform any console (eyefinity anyone, not to mention far more hardcore graphics etc). Now the Pirates are doing what they can to rip off the phone market. I mean how cheap is this world??? If you cant afford a couple quid then maybe you should get a job!
Im waiting on this answer too, thinking about moving from my Titan to a HTC 8S, but only if I can sideload my apps, I have 3 I have wrote and probably will never send to market (never get round to polishing them up) and REALLY dont wanna pay $99 for the use of my own apps on my own phone, as soon as this information hits Ill pre-order a 8S

Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Companies will be able to install Apps from outside the Marketplace but we don't know yet how that will be managed. If I had to guess I'd be pretty sure that there will be no free sideloading, given that Windows 8 doesn't allow sideloading of Metro-Apps either without a developer certificate (though they are issuing them for free at the moment).
Microsoft will be allowing third-party developers to build Live Apps. These Live Apps can integrate with the lock screen, and also integrate into the new Windows Phone 8 Wallet and other hubs on the phone. The ability to choose among three different sizes of tiles as part of Windows Phone 8 OS.

is its mean that i can install a third-party app?
if soo i want to install waze, this one: http://meirtsvi.wordpress.com/
is it possible?
You can't install Apps from outside the Windows Phone Store unless your Apps are signed with a specific Certificate that you only get after being verified as a company.
Pirates destroyed PC Gaming?
WTF are you on about the PC market is doing better than ever right now and it's driving future business models for all platforms. I mean not only is there a Free 2 Play revolution going on but it's been a platform for mods to drive sales for games like Dayz has sold at least 1 million copies of ArmA 2 as a result. On top of that we have Steam which is currently the best digital distribution software for any platform and it has created this whole Sales trend. Then we have the flash games and all the casual Facebook games which I would be has more people playing than any platform alone.
The PC is just fine, the strongest platform out there and brings in the most revenue. The only difference is people tend to think of game sales just being retail box copies. Also lets not forget the fact that people who pirate media buy more media than people who don't, they just cannot afford to buy everything because it is their hobby and it would become so expensive. For example my friend buys all his games on his Xbox 360 but he's only bought 2-3 games this year and he doesn't know how to torrent, where as I torrent every game to try it out, yet I've bought over 20 games on Steam alone this year and some how I'm labeled as a pirate. Most of my friends torrent games and again they all buy far more games than any other group of gamer I know of.
So please put that piracy bull**** argument away, it was old 5 years ago and it's even older now.
Lets not forget the PC mod and indie scene has produced some of the best developers out there today. When a developer tries to deal with Microsoft or Sony they have to go through all these legal and restriction issues with them and wait around for ages. When their games are released they hardly get any coverage and are forgotten quickly. I think you'll find indie developers find far more success on Steam or even their own sites like Minecraft or Project Zomboid.
Start using bing rewards. you earn points for searching with bing, and you can use those points & redeem them for MS points, amazon $$, Starbucks, and now you can use them to but wp8 apps/games. This is better that pirating because you get updates on time, and if its an xboz game you can get achievements.

You will not get people here to agree with you that it would be great to pirate software. Most games on WP7 and WP8 have a Trial-Mode anyway that allows you to play the start of the game to check if it would be interesting to you - actually ALL XBox Live titles in the Marketplace have that.
Aside from that your price argument falls to pieces really quickly in the Smartphone sector given that most games don't cost more then 3$. That's less then you pay for a beer at a bar. We're not talking about expensive Software here. Piracy is especially bad for small developers, given that they don't earn much to begin with.
Modding is a completely different topic that does not have too much to do with piracy. Many games actually have their own APIs available to allow for those extensions. This has nothing to do with unlicensed copying.
It always amazes me to see people buy phones for $ 600 and then get annoyed when they are told they should shell out $ 1 - 3 for a game every once in a while.
I plan to switch to simple mobile, and im eyeballing the 920. i could care less about pirating windows app but i would like to know if there is any form of emulator apps, or perhaps a way to sideload those like you can in android?
my concern regarding pricing is fairly simple, on android i can get angry birds for free, pay 99 cents and get adfree versions. on iOS its 99 cents, with windows devices you pay 5 bucks and it doesnt seem like its updated nearly as often. im only using this as an example i wont be bother to play angry birds, wheres my water is much better . i wont pirate the apps that arent IMO worth while but i sure as hell wont buy em either.
and before anyone comments on if im cheap or not etc, ive spent at least 80 bucks on various android apps the most expensive one being 7 bucks for a fairly useful app
As was already stated above: there is no sideloading on WP8 unless you have a company certificate or have your device developer unlocked. There have been homebrew Emulators for WP7 but given that the inclusion of ROMs would have been a violation of the ROM-owners copyrights those Emulators were not allowed in the Marketplace.
Angry Birds btw. is 99 Cents at the moment in the Marketplace. Some months ago they dropped the prices on several XBox Live games. Indie games have regularly been at the 99 Cent price point even before that.
Nobody takes issue with people saying they won't pay for an App they don't enjoy and just won't use it for that reason. The problem is that there are many people around that say they won't buy into a phone because it is so expensive by itself and they don't want to pay for the Apps they use on it for that reason.
interesting, why would they have included roms? with teh android versions you download the app and put the files on your sdcard. and thats what i was wondering more about, i have a dreamspark account due to my student status and i believe at the time it allowed you to unlock your wp7 device?
i havent truly looked throught any of teh marketplace and ive only loaded up my recent install of win8 and saw angry birds space was 5 bucks, which suits me fine i have plenty of those kind of "smartphone" games on my tablet. im more interested in getting better quality xbox live enabled games, those im willing to drop the money on
i think its actually a valid point, i mean im fairly vested into android and for me to uproot and switch OS' means that day one after i drop x amount of dollars on a new device if i want any of teh apps that i used to have back i have to go and repurchase them all. thanks for all the info, as i dont really know a whole lot about wp8

You still get one year of Dev Center membership for free with your Dreamspark Account. They would have had to include the ROMs given that there were no exchangeable SD-Cards or an accessible Filesystem in WP7.
