Hey, I was bored so I figured I would code this app and throw it on the Android marketplace. It as all of the BLS Drug Profiles based off the Arizona Department of Health.
Before I throw it onto the market I figured I would ask what you guys think of the GUI. Do you guys like the way it looks? Or should I change it, what do you think I should do to make it better? Also keep in mind this is my first app.

Looks interesting. What I can see looks pretty good but you should post the apk so we can install and really check it out for ya.
This is a sorely needed app!
Thanks.
I wouldn't use blue for the text color though.
In bright lights or outdoors, that is gonna be very difficult to read.
Since this app could possibly be needed in an emergency situation, it's vital for everything to be able to be seen without any fuss or confusion.
Make it high contrast ... white text on black.
As for the overall ui, it's perfectly fine other than that. This isn't an app where asthestics are important. It's not something people will be glaring at for hours on end. It's utilitarian, it's reference. And keeping it simple is exactly what's needed.
One thing I might add at some point is a link to Wikipedia if there is one (at least I don't see it from the screenshots). Or if the material you're using for reference has other online references available to the general public, that's fine too. Especially something with links to pictures to help identify pills/capsules etc. That's just an idea.
Great job.
And if you're needing a beta tester, please let me know.
Thanks.

Ok, I will experiment with the color of the text I suppose. I can also ad a link to the Arizona Health Department Bureau of EMS. I also have a disclaimer to add, and it should be ready
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let everyone know that I posted this on the market

On the homepage and in the article there are videos to see how it works. If this method works flawlessly it will definitely improve the writing speed a lot. Looks very promising from my point of view. I subscribted the newsletter to get a notice when this will be available (soon as the developers said).
I subscripted myself to test the beta! So i'm curieus to the result.
Subscripted also
Subscripte also. The app looks verry promising. Can not wait to use it.
signed up as well. looks like an interesting concept, especially on the diamond.
Repeated Thread?
wow looks awesome...
looks really interesting, if it really works that well that would be a revolution.
and people would finally stop whining about not being able to type easily on their touch'es
not really a revolution... Just stumbled on something like this yesterday cus i really wanted that iphone feature

The symbols page is too small. Other than that - not too bad.
Unfortunately we'll probably never get to use it due to their business model of now downloading of it, it's just baked into the carrier ROM's. Kind of dumb in my opinion, but maybe someone here can make a cab file from it.

I don't know how much you guys pay attention to what goes on in the other sections of this forum but since I still own a Fuze as well as the HD2 I wanted to make sure you guys knew what I was still up to.
I made an Android 3D model a bit ago and offered it to the public to use as they wanted if they just asked for the file. Well nobody asked to use him so I guess I can waste some time here and there and get out a set of tabs. I'm not saying it will happen fast, but today I started from scratch with the other models like the phone,MMS,headphones,Footprint,etc..... I have him placed with several of them so far but with all the tabs that are out there right now it will be awhile till I have each of them made.

Just eleven more to do,lol........
Edit: was made later this eveing
New eMail icon. The other one looked odd in that direction plus it didn't allow me to use him at full size to the envelope.
Ok so what would poeple rather see...............
Him in Blue as shown above
or
Green like in the new Web icon?
those look great ...green or blue both are cool looking
Not totally happy with it but you get the idea. I'll just have to redo the shadowing. It's all wrong for the arrow.
How do you guys feel about a TwitterDroid?
Docs tab but I will have to do some work on this one but it's there for the most part.
Contacts......
One more.....What do you think for a weather icon?
I think they are pretty neat, and a little cute. LOL love em. U have a Hero and a Touch Pro, glad I saw these, made my night. Looks like a lot of hard work, nice job.
I have an HD2 and a Fuze(Touch Pro) I do not have a Hero.
Settings ......
I cleaned up the settings icon. I kind of rushed it the last time and short cut doing some things. Even this last one is not fully up to my specs but it will do for now. I have plowed out most of the tabs I'm going to do. Out of 17 total I have 3 more left.
Updated twitter icon possibly???????
they all look great Wil
Most likely the new Music Icon
Pictures & Video
Well I thought I would throw some humor into missed calls. If anybody has any ideas for something better I'm all ears. I can't think of anything I want to render for it.
I ran the GLBenchmark on my Nook Color, then on my DINC and a few others and finally grabbed a bit more results from their website and this is what I got.
Turns out, the NC isn't a bad gaming platform at all. We already suspected that but cold hard numbers are a welcome confirmation.
Also interesting: if you have a solid disposable income, the Galaxy Tab is the leader of the pack. And if you have a solid disposable income AND speed scares you, the Streak seems like a good fit.

Would a froyo upgrade improve those numbers?
Looks to me on first glance that the NC would match the highest scores with some overclocking.
Homer
Yes, I was thinking that overclocking would be good. We won't see this until a custom kernel is released, though.
And no, unfortunately I do not think that Froyo would give us any improvement; these tests run native code, not Java, so a JIT won't make a difference.
Those numbers look suprisingly good. I use a DINC too and was expecting the NC numbers to be lower, not higher!
Just a shot in the dark but I am wondering, did you by any change change the refresh rate of the nook from the 48000 to 68000 (or 66461) before you ran these test?
Just wondering considering the 2 test that were hitting the mid 40's could possibly may have been vsynced down instead of allowing them to go higher perhaps?
No idea if this would apply to an android system, but would it hurt to check?
An intriguing thought, indeed.
I will see if the refresh rate hack "takes." I've read that many people are having trouble convincing their NC.

That is the one conclusion that I did not feel like voicing in my original post: "Oh, no, my poor Dinc."
Catch Phrase Party
This is that fast talking, fast passing game you all have probably played before. If you haven't, it is a party game where one person has a phrase in front of them, and they have to get their team members to guess the phrase, without spelling it out, using a word from the phrase, etc. If the buzzer sounds when your team has the phone, then the opposing team is awarded a point.
Very fun game when you have a few friends all sitting around with nothing better to do.
My brother and I have been working on this for a little while now, and finally released it today. We already have a few things in mind for the next release, which may be as early as tonight or tomorrow.
The only glaring issue I have found is that the XBL tile seems blurry. We don't know what would cause this - if any of you know - that would be great, but hopefully we can get that cleared up tonight.
Feedback is much appreciated! You can do that here, or in app.

I searched Google and everything. Can anybody please share the full-sized version of this wallpaper, or just SOMETHING that you have, that's bigger? I cropped this part out of somebody's home screen.
I don't remember which thread it was in, so I can't ask the user for it.

Looks like a black and grey version of the Rising Sun wallpapers. This is similar to it, but not the exact colors. I'm sure if you do some searching of "Black Rising Sun wallpaper" you'll find something. Or, if you have Photoshop, you can make it yourself. There is a set of rising sun brushes you can find, or I may be able to give you it, if I still have it. There are a few guides online that show you how to make it as well, without the brushes.

I know the actual wallpaper doesn't have that circle. I've seen the full wallpaper somewhere, I just can't remember where
This isn't exact, since I'm not the best at PS, but I thought it could hold you over until you find the original
EDIT: I made it 900 x 900, I can make it bigger if you want though..
EDIT2: Tried adding a little grain like the original, the second one has it.
