iphone/ipod touch media player app

i was thinking
and the only thing the iphone has on the G1 is looks
and only in certain places
but why not reduce those places
does anybody think that they can make an iphone-esque media player
not even the full blown media player just for like when you turn the iphone landscape and you have the album pictures and song nd ****

i would love to see this as well... our media player is straight up ugly.... I cant wait till new apps start to come along.. i know its still early.. the phone has only been there for a monbth

I have heard the iphone media player is second to none, any truth to this? Never seen it myself..

why is it everyone wants copies of other OSs? Android is its own seperate OS, why can't it have a media player that reflects itself like other OS's have. Sure you like a feature where in landscape it shows different info. I think that is cool. But I want to wait for google to finish 1.0

make it similar in aesthetic design
i suppose
or make it like the HP touchscreen is that would be pretty rad

Need Equalizer!
Who cares about how it looks? One of the biggest misses is the fact that there is no equalizer. Focus on functionality before form!

I hate the fact that they have hardly updated the media player since 1.0 (gosh do you remember that ****? Didnt even have on screen keyboard xD)

there is one called mixzing in the market, its free. it has an iphone-esque look to it. not exact but kinda close. one thing neat about it is, it acts like pandora (creates playlist based on a song selection) but bases the playlist creation off of the music in your phone collection. it's kinda cool.

[IDEA] Facebook Widget [Screenshots]

i think the title speaks for itself to be honest but basically i find Twidget so useful for keeping up to date with Twitter so i would like to know if a dev out there is interested in making a very similer widget for the Facebook news feed allowing you to view the last 20 items or so and commenting or 'liking' your friends posts.
im willing to donate and even put my hands onto Photoshop if required ,though my skills are rather mediocre
so who's interested?
EDIT: Made some mock ups in PS to add visual ponder to my idea!

Would actually be nice to have a Facebook Widget considering there isn't a native Facebook Application that works well. Would be nice to have a Digg one too
But yeah with Facebook it would be nice to have something akin to Twidget, long as its all secure.

Yup I think this is defiantly needed, the hard thing is doing it in a small place. I mean it'd be nice to have one like the twitter widget on Hero but this would be hard for most users with 3 home screens. And as Neo said we still do need a facebook application that runs smooth also as this hasn't really been addressed yet. I'm hoping you find a developer that will hop on board with this.

im hoping so too, i think it would be a great addition to anyones home screen and especially if it was in the style of Twidget which only takes up 1x4 spaces of home screen real estate and displaying the latest update and then opening up to a larger app when pressed.
widgets are our friends and also our biggest kick in the face to iphone users, a full customisable desktop is one of the things that makes Android so great!

where we can find this widget?

Facebook is FINALLY in the market.

Just downlaoded and checking it out now.

Downloaded!
Here is the QR for it:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Downloaded also. Is it just me, or does it kinda...suck? I can't even figure out how to search for a friend.

its version 1.0 im pretty sure there will be plenty of updates to catch up to other facebook apps
relax!
its finallly here!
i like it so far!

I dont know why but I always havr FC when trying to launch the app.
Anyone else haveing the same issue?

i like it, great start. widget is bit ugly, they could do to mimick the sense ui twitter widget. but im happy

It's funtional. It is a shame you can't view galleries or search for people, but it's a good start.
The Facebook Live Contacts Folder integration is awesome! It's a shame it's limited to 125 people and you can't search.
**EDIT** Also, has anyone uploaded a photo yet? Is it incredibly small?

This is NOT developed by Facebook. Click to view the developers link and it goes to a Facebook page that says "this application was not developed by Facebook"

gonna stick to bloo for a little while longer..

After reading as much info as I could find about the app, it seems Google was behind developing it but they were given access to the API's by Facebook. I was able to sign in without having to give the program special permissions, so even if it isn't developed by Facebook, it seems to be closely tied to Facebook. I guess this is as "official" of an app as we are going to get.

It's an OK start but really needs search capability...
I'm glad I can comment on feed updates - that was sorely missing on the x.facebook.com or iphone.facebook.com web apps.

As far as 1.0 releases are concerned it's pretty damn solid.

touche. be it as it may, this app is definitely streamlined and to the point. i wish it had a little more functionality, but this is definitely a SOLID base to build upon

c'mon the widget isnt that bad but i agree they should take some pointers from the htc developers

Good Lord people. Stop comparing this to the Facebook app on Hero. We will never see that level of integration on a Google build. Never. The only reason you saw it was because HTC built the contacts and dialer apks from the ground up. Google is not going to open source either of those. That level of modification and app building is not going to happen on a 3rd party level. It's just too much work for too little of a return.

I don't know about you guys but I really like it.

FINALLY!!! long over due, like it so far

I notice that we're not able to upload videos, view albums, and search friends with this official app.

i actually think its pretty ****ing great to tell you the truth

i agree its pretty solid in my opinion, plus i love the widget!

Wow, very slick! Nice job on the app. Finally have Hypem on my phone!

Looks very well done, can't wait to test it when I get home.
Any chance of having some sort of cache so the radio doesn't have to be on constantly? Perhaps download the songs to Isolated Storage. It could probably help with the power consumption. If I remember correctly, the songs on hypem don't cycle that quickly.

This app is absolutely great.
Many thanks!
The Hype Machine is one of my favorite music website with Pitchfork.
.....
Btw, my pleasure to share my Hype Machine playlist (mostly indie groups, The Smiths, Mountain Goats, Josh Rouse, New Order, Wedding Presents, Balmhorea, Badly Drawn Boy, Beach Fossils, Yo La Tengo, etc...) for those who like these bands

[SHARE] Cool thing about the stock music application

Guys, I don't know if you knew this already but this is really cool. I saw one of my friend using iTouch and wondered if I can have that feature too. Luckily, it did. Putting lyrics on the song and you can view it also while playing the song via stock music application.
Tried it on Samsung units and epic fail. Great feature LG! ) Haha.

i can help you if you dont mind using realplayer
download latest version of realplayer and :
Let it scan all songs and then search the song you want to add lyrics to.
right click on it and you will find some option like edit song information ( i haven't used it from a long time so i dont remember it ).
when you get a small window to edit songs artist,album, title n all so look at the right there will be cloumn named lyrics....paste your lyrics in it and save....move it to ur OB and enjoy
can be dont on itunes too....just go to edit songs info....in the small window you will see some tabs like artwork,lyrics and all....simply open the tab and paste the lyrics and save......n ur done

i've added the lyrics through itunes but it won't show up when played on the phone.
