Review: Google Wave - Off-topic

My opinion
My opinion is very short, but directly: Google Wave in my opinion is the future.
The Future
I think that in the future, Google Wave will be like a email today. More, it will be the email and this is going to be more visible when the Beta period ends.
Friendly?
As the most part of the newest web applications, Google Wave have a very friendly GUI, it's very nice to attract the attentions of the users , take a look and think if this can't attract you to see more

All In One
One of the things that I've liked more in Google Wave was that it's a All-In-One suit, there you can send waves(like emails) and do like a chat with they, then in my opinion, this is very useful. Also, the embeddable of videos and this plugins is a very good idea.
Cons
The only thing that I can label as bad is the performance. It takes much time to start, organize, display your waves and contacts, also if there is a video embedded on a wave, you will see that the site will be more unstable.
Also, it isn't working on Opera(as orb3000 said).
Developer Side
I think that Google Wave was the tool that the developer like me most need, because I was testing it as a project manager, like this: I send a wave for my developoment friend that I need to add a new feature on my application, then we started to communicate by waves of the development parts(step-by-step) and about the new uploaads(Git).
At All
At all I can just say one thing for you: Use Google Wave and enjoy

Yes it can become a powerfull tool in the future.
Cons:
Not working on Opera

It isn't working on Opera?
I think is because of Chrome Frame

What browsers and platforms are compatible with Google Wave?
Print
Google Wave works on Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms. Supported browsers include:
Google Chrome
Safari
Firefox 3.5
If you'd like to use Google Wave with Internet Explorer, you can install the Chrome Frame plug-in.

--------------------------
By now I´m using it on Crhome in the meanetime they got fixed for Opera, then I´ll uninstall chrome
I hate to have to use more than one browser...

Huh, this is very bad
Opera is out of the platforms.

Just for now...

Yeah!
I hope...

Me too......

They better fix it for Opera. I'm currently using it for work.
So when working I currently need Opera for working, FF for testing and Chrome for Wave running. May not seem like too much of an issue, but throw in DW PS and an XP VM and RAM starts to dwindle, one less browser...

Thanks very much for your comment

Sony Ericsson Tracker request

This is my first post, so sorry if I haven't put this in the right place!
I've been trying to get hold of the Tracker program from Sony Ericsson for my X1. I've found it on their website at www.sonyericsson.com/fun under the software link, but not for the X1. I've emailed Sony Ericsson asking whether it will ever be released and have been told in the usual manner that basically "No."!
So on to my point. Do any mightily clever people feel like giving this one a go? I really wanted to use it to take a look at my running route and analyse my progress, but it doesn't work!
Thanks in advance.
use GWatch, it's free and it's a stopwatch as well. you can also upload the gps coordinates from it onto google maps to show your route
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/about
SportyPal seem to be WM's way of Symbian's Tracker
Thanks guys I'll give them a go. Sony Ericsson's Tracker has a really nice interface, but I guess as long as the other two do the same thing I'll be happy!
I use trackypro ...

I'm useing Sprtypal, mostly for cycling, some running and rollerbladeing. It is easy of use and nice clean design. Except tracking there is analyzeing. I did this workout minutes ago:

I have been using sportypal for some time now, it is really excellent stuff, that can help you with your running or cycling, especially when you are withoit a gps device.
I use the 'on the road' panel & GPS Cycle Computer >> http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gps-cycle-computer-v3.html GCC is a little awkward as you have to create the maps via Google Earth, but the author has good instructions on how to do it.
I have G-Watch too, but haven't used it for anythign other than a countdown timer and a stop watch.
is the g watch free of charge??? or just trial version???

G-Watch is a freebie.
G-Alarm isn't
I have tried the cycle computer, but I couldn't get him running on my xperia, sometimes it turn on only with showing half of the screen, sometimes doesn't even run properly .
For now the sportypal is fine for me. ,

i use sportypal, too. i have a lot of trouble recording tracks properly on my X1 (r3a-spb mobile shell3). a lot of GPS errors, half recorded tracks. the support is eager to help..but until now the results are far from satisfying..maybe it is a individual problem of my setup. i don't have any hassle running other GPS apps like tomtom, etc.
clueless..
i installed the new version of sportypal..now it works as expected. great app.
a better battery life would be great...gps consumes a lot of power.
On the newest version 1.0.6 it has its own screen management program, that is saving on the power on the screen->and this gives some better batery life.

Mobile developer Jay Desai has created an online application that allows users to make their own Windows Phone 7 app and compile them, ready for submission to the Marketplace, without having to enter a single line of code.
Currently, the software is very basic and allows the user to change the background of the app, add RSS feeds, a Facebook page and to read Twitter updates. Desai has signalled his intentions to add YouTube, Flickr and other online services, positioning it as a very fast and effective way for a brand or a website to create an official Windows Phone 7 app for their users/readers.
To make sure users don’t use this tool and submit a rash of buggy applications, Desai has limited use of the application by placing a password on the service. Users must request access via his Twitter account to be able to use the tool.

Hah! Thanks mate
had a bit of a play with this earlier and it actually works quite well for a beta.
Would love to see the ability to return to a previous project and edit it, and some more customisation options, but hopefully that would come in the future.
Hey Xda-Devs!
Thanks for the interest in thirdlabs! I'm one of the co-founders for thirdlabs. I'd like to point out that we have the ability to display the following feed types:
Blog
Facebook
Twitter
Youtube
Flickr
You can also select different visual styles for each of these feeds when you make your app!
Now you don't need to contact Jay through his twitter feed anymore. Just sign up at our website and start making your app right away!
Login in
Enter your feed(s)
Choose your style(s)
Get your passcode
Download TryMyApp from WP7 Marketplace (It's free to try )
Enter your passcode and enjoy your app!

We're currently working on user edit-ability. You'll be able to pull up your previously created apps, add/remove feeds, reorder feeds and change visual styles.
If you have questions/suggestions/comments email us please!! info[at]thirdlabs[dot]com
Thanks!
Any more updates on this? I checked the site a while back but am at work and it's restricted access here so can't check it.
No nothing yet mate!

[Q] New Folder?

Hi,
Is it possible to make a "New Folder" in WP7? Just for example: to put all games in a one folder?
Not at the moment.
App Folders to WP7? Not any time soon.

"We've been tipped off about an interesting bit of polling going on at the monsmartphone.net (they're a lot like us, but French!) regarding something that all Windows users are all too familiar with. Folders!
The question raised, "Would you like to be able to categorize your applications?", has caught some attention from their more organized readers. Users who've downloaded a lot of Apps were quick to remark that they don't like having to scroll so much to find the ones at the bottom of the pile.
Pinning the most frequently used apps to the Start Menu solves the problem easily but not at all if you're the kind of person to keep a lot of frequent contacts up there. Even more so if you're the type to collect applications - the Markteplace reached 7,000 apps not too long ago and like we said, there's no end in sight. The reasoning is there for some users, certainly. Other users, like myself, don't see the need. Not yet anyway.
Monsmartphone.net's writer, Detsch, had apparently submitted this quandary to Microsoft and from what we've gathered from throwing their site through the make-it-english machine (No, not just google translate! I made a real-live French person read it to me in English!) was that Microsoft does not currently think that this functionality is a priority in the evolution of their OS.
Read more after the break.
Whether or not there was actual scientific research done to back it up or if any charts were involved is unclear but they claim that they average number of apps used by the average user just doesn't require such a poll-worthy, why-don't-we-have-this, functionality. Interesting tidbits from the commentors brought up the option of it. Reminds us a little of Microsoft's position on screen captures.
If folders were eventually included in an update they would prefer it as an option - not a mandate that they had to follow through with. Some presumptions also include folder use for contacts following the lines of Work contacts, Pals, Bowling Team, and things like that. This followed suit with sms and the Games Hub as well with sorted genres.
The most interesting concept of note was not if people would like folders or not but the ability to categorize their apps. Meaning, apps could be categorized and sorted but not necessarily by using folders.
What if they were sorted into specific hubs that opened an additional app listing? That piqued my interest and got me thinking of a better question. If we had the ability to sort or categorize or filter our apps - how would you like it done and how would it work with the Metro UI?"

Script your phone! Write code for your phone, on your phone! TouchDevelop is a radically new software development environment on the Windows Phone, bringing the excitement of the first programmable personal computers to the phone.
the idea behind TouchDevelop
The way in which we interact with computing devices is changing: instead of keyboards, advanced touchscreens become more common; mobile devices are often equipped with more sensors, such as location information and acceleration, and are always connected to the cloud.
TouchDevelop is a new programming environment and language built around this new reality. Its typed, structured programming language is built around the idea of only using a touchscreen as the input device to author code. It has built-in primitives which make it easy to access the rich sensor data available on a mobile device. In our vision, the state of the program is automatically distributed between mobile clients and the cloud, with automatic synchronization of data and execution between clients and cloud, liberating the programmer from worrying (or even having to know) about the details.

I used this app , but founded not interesting...
Well I tried it.. you can do a a couple of stuff, but I don't think it is actually useful for developing qualitative Apps.
In my mind this Application is more useful for schools, where teachers want to show their students how easy it is to develop stuff, or "the new generation of Coding Editors"..
I mean sure, you can create some interesting apps and, if you put effort in it, might even useful Apps(!) but for me it looks like something you can play with when you are bored..
But it might be interesting for those who are new to WP7-programming or are new to programming at all..
But nice app anyway!
interesting apps...
but, i dont have any windows phone on me...

Samsung's Milk Music app for our Galaxy Tab 7.7?

EDIT!
I download the apk from the link below. No root needed! Works ok. App is a little blurry, guessing it was made for the smaller phone screen.
But hey, FREE MUSIC and no ads. Sweet! Love the "Dial" where we can switch music on the fly. Using it with my car's bluetooth connection.

Can someone create an apk for this app for our Galaxy Tab 7.7?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.mdl.radio

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wr7pybztrk9b28t/Milk_Music_ 1.1.180022.apk
yeah it works fine, thank you.
I saw a module related to this player in xposed, I think it helps those that can not run it. if you had any problems, maybe that will help you.
With the recent updates to Soundcloud angering me, and Pandora and other similar apps just not as appealing to me, I'm glad to see that there is a version out there for my 7.0 tab 3. I'm going to give this a shot after I finish jailbreaking my 5s (attempting a 7.1.2 update). Now the debate will continue... Samsung Tablet, Digital Camera... should I go for the phone or stick with iFruit... time will tell I guess this October.
Works with no root?
I have an HTC One and I downloaded the app and it installed but when I open the app it says device not supported. Am I missing something or was the "no-root" misadvertised. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
