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."

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.

Hey all,
Are there any programs for runners that I can use for my fuze? Specifically, something like a GPS program that will track my route/distance/speed. I've heard this kinda thing exists for other phones, but not heard about this phone.
Thanks.
http://www.fuzemobility.com/go-for-a-run-or-a-bike-ride/
wish i woulda known this earlier
i bought a Nike+ for my ipod smh
truthfully there are a lot more of them:

sorry you had to resort to an iPod...I just puked a little thinking about it
Thanks! Just what I was looking for.
SportyPal is quite good, I'm using it for cycling(very good), but i read now on some thread that for running they have added to show the pace in real time with also all the other tools for measuring speed, distance, calories ...
try RUN.GPS, works very fine on mine.
Regards,
P.
+1 for SportyPal (sportypal.com). I use it to track my kayak trips down the rivers in the panhandle. It will overlay your path on an aerial photograph and has links with Facebook, so you can share it.
Sportypal is my program of choice. During the cross country season I can give my phone to one of my lead runners and track their pace during intervals and can also tuck it in my jersey pocket when I go on bike rides and have all that data at hand as well. Best thing? It's FREE!
check out endomondo. very nice and free.

I got an e-mail from them, that very soon they will have the option to choose the workout type from the phone as kayaking, rowing or some other interesting type of sports.
I dont think anyone mentioned G-Watch which I have found to be excellent for just what you described.
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/about
Some new types of workouts are added:
skiing, rowing, horse riding, driving, flying, sailing, swimming, hiking, paragliding, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, surfing

SmartRunner is one of the best applications for tracking, imho.
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
You and many angry mummies...

I will check this game out!
the game is already out.
Firing controls need improvement, many a times they don't fire at right moment or they just stop.
Been playing it since 2 days now.
Looks good. Gonna try it once I update to mango.
nice game...running smoothly on hd7 =)
thank you!
for control I simulate two analog stick and you are the first that have problem.
what model are you?
Well the game is good, but it needs some improvement..I was planning to provide a video review but it lacks a lot..It would have been great if the OP fixes it
BTW..Great job
Tried the game now that I updated to mango. Great game. Yes, the controls need to be polished. Sometimes they just don't respond/or respond with a delay. otherwise, a great game. Thanks.

"lacks a lot" ????
"OP" ???
I do not understand what you say
Pictures kinda remind me of Gauntlet. Looks cool. I'll have to check it out.
It was a typo...I mean to say 'lag' instead of lack..The game needs to be polished especially the controls...Sometimes it doesn't fire at all
OP=Original Poster
I guess this word is not often used over here.

Is it the phone or the case? What's that ring? I don't have that on my pixel 7

"And it burns burns burns the ring of fire."
I'm fairly certain that's a magsafe compatible case charging ring reason than it is a "Pixel 7 [itself] is starting...fire hazard" device issue/reason....
You're lucky Google is giving you anything for it....that is most definitely not Google's fault as a manufacturer; there is no way this is a Samsung Note 7 exploding issue nor has there been any news/public statements claiming anything like it -- I'm fairly certain you may have misrepresented it as such, but they still sent something to appease you, so I imagine you should be happy at that (even if it doesn't quite cover all the medical bills that have resulted by this)....
Yeah, I understand the phone got hot causing the magnet to heat up but it wasn't designed for this. Depending on how that magnet works in relation to things like reverse charging, that wasn't something Google implemented to be used. If it was a factory Google case then I would understand. Like I said though I do see your point. I would suggest anyone who's able to root, flash a custom ROM like lineage and you won't deal with any of these heating issues. Android 14 also runs a lot cooler because it doesn't have the issue with pixel launcher anymore, at least it seems that way so far.
