I been using SpbTV and loving it for regular and international tv.Hulu doesnt work but Veoh does,all you have to do is set user agent to iphone or just manualy type in their iphone cite.I find Veoh way better than Hulu and its free.On Veoh you can stream movies or download them,now because its not an iphone sorting features are broken but its not a big deal,plus they have alot of new and kung fu movies-thats why i pick veoh over hulu anytime.

http://www.veoh.com/iphone/ You can do this on your pc also without having to download bloated Veoh app.If you using Dolphin HD go to browser settings and change "user agent" to ipad or iphone restart Dolphin,after that any site you visit will automatically take you to iphone site.

I snagged the bitbop beta app.
haven't tried it yet, but will soon! Here ya go.

Cool idea but $10 a month? Whaaaaaat?! Epic.fail
Epic 4g
I would like to reitterate that my phone is much stronger than yours...

why do you need the IPHONE URL? I am running a modified version of FLASH and I just go to www.veoh.com and it works fine playing flash video..

$10 dollars a month and they STILL show you commercials? That is beyond ridiculous. You can get an entire netflix subscription for less with zero commercials.

Update on this..this app is well worth 10 bucks if you like to watch current shows (Glee, Family Guy, etc.). Being able to save the shows to your phone is sweet! Quality is fantastic (running CM 6.1 official) and the app scales with Restoggle.
I caught up on the last 3 episodes of "Terriers" and am in the process of watching the entire second season of "The League" right now.
It doesn't seem to limit how many shows you can download either and its all commercial free. If this app continues to add fresh content (ie "Justified" in January) to the already extensive list of better-than-basic cable channels, $10 bucks is a great value for being able to save and watch directly from my EVO.

What do you use your galaxy tab for?

Just curious, I just got a sprint tab with data. Thought I would use it more, but my epic 4g does every and it more portable. So do you use for work, play, school or something else.

I use it for getting my emails (work mainly), some games, movies i've ripped from my dvds, storage for my photos from my htc touch and my galaxy s.
Sometimes i use it for twitter, facebook, and even browse once in a while .
Oh, XDA forums too
I have a GalaxyS as well, and while i agree that it does everything and is more portable, i still prefer the bigger screen when typing (now that i have the thumb keyboard on the tab, it is so much easier to type with my thumbs now)

all daily tasks, including phone call, sms/mms......

I use mine just like I would use a laptop. I have my desktop setup for remote desktop and I like using it to browsing the web for extended periods of time. I take classes online it's great for watching/listening to live chats (since it has flash). I also watch streaming videos and dvd rips...and now I can watch Netflix and do Skype!). Download torrents on it...use it as a stand alone GPS receiver (use Co-Pilot for offline maps) . Play games on it (as I don't really like playing games on my Evo b/c of the smaller screen... I prefer the 7's)
I rarely use the camera however with this latest Gingerbread update I may start using Skype more. I hope they update the Google Talk to include Video soon, then it might be enough to keep me from getting a larger Honeycomb tablet as soon. I still want the 10.1 version...but for now the 7" Galaxy Tab is perfect for my needs.
Oh...and I use it as wi-fi only (the service was cancelled since I can tether for free from my MyTouch 4G)

I totally replace my old xperia x10 mini with this beauty... i use it most for play ps one and some gameloft games... also as a notebook replacement, as a phone... enjoy music and videos... some chat too.
Sent from my Latin Overcome Experience ;D

This tab already replace my laptop and my htc sensation..2 in 1..lol love it!!

do the daily works... emails,sms,phone calls,browsing,game and XDA

I use mine for browsing the internet in the living room, or reading/writing emails. The most used app is actually the IMDB app as I find the initial screen with trailers for up-coming films very useful (and a joy to use!)
I recently got a SGS2, so the tab has been sat round not doing much for a while, but I'm slowly coming back to it.
It's also great for long train or coach journey. It's the size of a portable DVD player, so great for films/TV, and gaming is lovely on it! Especially with the great Gameloft games that came for free when I got it.

I use my tab a lot for reading. I have a lot of books and articles in various formats like pdf, djvu, kindle and the tab is small enough to carry my library everywhere and big enough to comfortably read and browse.
The big screen (compared to a phone) is also a plus for watching videos, gaming and browsing desktop version of websites.
I also use it to listen to internet radio and mp3, record photos and videos and as GPS device. I use my laptop now just for things where I need special software (like Odin ;-)) or a real keybord.
I really love this device and it clearly exceeded my expectations.

I just buy one new in France for 150€ without contract (very very good deal), and I'm very please with it.
I use it as my primary phone with a Sony MBW600 bluetooth headset.
Lot of game (just finished plant vs Zombi) and multimedia use : 3 episodes from Games of throne, with subtittles, and it was very nice.
So I root it, put overcome 2.0.1 and desimlock !
I go often on the web and check my mails with the stock Samsung application which is very nice.
One of the best thing i ever had...

I us it mostly for couch browsing (I'm too lazy for powering up laptop), emails, youtube and kindle
I rearly play games or other stuffs, but I will probably use it for skype video calls when upgrade to gingerbread

The Tab plays movies you can get from torrents just great with no conversions needed. Getting them converted to play on my iPad is a royal pain. So my Tab goes with me on the airplane as my portable movie player. Also works great for email but for browsing the web I prefer the larger screen of the iPad.

Well I have an old plan with Sprint since 2002 which is sinfully cheap and they'll force me to triple my bill if I want any current smartphone (using a Treo Pro) right now.
So I scored a Verizon Tab 7 new on Craigslist for 200 and get my Android fix that way. Actually at the doctors office right now tethered via wifi. Use it for web/email/music/so forth.
Might invest in the $20/1gb plan down the road.
Actually prefer it this way. The 7" screen is big enough yet size is pocketable to carry around.

love my tab for reading all my ebooks and digital comics, streaming slacker and youtube when i'm running around, and the occasional angry birds..

Everything i can do with a phone and a laptop.
But have passed the tab on to my wife now.

I use it in my classroom because much of the internet is blocked, to show video, or pictures, and to show calculator useage lessons.
I use it in Mexico to interview families using an app I wrote. I take a family photo, and get the gps coordinates, record the answers to the interview, then save the data as an .xml file, and export it to our database, where our families are posted to a google earth map for American churches to select and commit to the project of building a free home for these very poor families.

Quick browsing at home
Remote desktop when commuting
News weather etc commuting
Soduku commuting
Browsing etc.
Extensive email....you guessed it: commuting.
Purchased vzw with intent to cancel data...but use it easy too much. Would never get one without a wireless data plan now.
On train 2+ hours every day.

Ill b using my newly acquired Tab 7 as my in car entertainment ill still use it around the house for browsing n playing games though. Im in the process of removing my current stereo, starting to be impractical to have to remove subs n amps when I take my car onto the racetrack. So having a tab will be great, covers my music n video, n ill only have to run a small amp for the speakers. Ill post up pics when I get it all done

Netflix pissing me off. Nintendo 3DS, sure. Xoom? Nope

Netflix now has an app for the Nintendo 3DS, yet we can't get one for these Tetra 2 powerhouses. Hell, it works on my Nook!
Its really annoying. I cancelled my account.
If you have an account, please call and ask about it. The more people complain, the more likely they are to make the fix.
Ill restart my subscription if they get it going, but for now, Netflix has lost a customer.
Has anyone heard if/when they are going to step up?
I have to admit that I am surprised that nvidia isn't screaming at them.

i just got my own account the other day, i've been piggybacking off of others for like a year and a half. I can't wait to have it on my xoom so I can just plug it into my living room TV instead of lugging one of my consoles out there, but I can wait.

I couldnt help but to laugh when I first saw a youtube video on 3Ds...I mean it was a big slap in the face to all xoom users.

youtube video?

yeah, we get it, netflix is on the 3ds. this WAS announced from the start you know.

And its not like the doesn't work on the zoom, they just disabled the streaming portion. It took them almost a year after the HTC evolution came to even release an android client, no telling how long for a tablet version.

Yeah no kidding Netflix should be a given on such power full tablets I just don't get it
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Haha I do have Netflix on my 3DS right now!
But for my Xoom, nah not possible yet, I hear ya OP. But the 3DS is Nintendo. The Wii is one of the consoles that Netflix fully supports, and if you look at the 3DS version, it's basically the same app ported over from the Wii to the smaller portable 3DS screen.
Nintendo and Netflix have a console+steaming service relationship. They will always officially support each other, no matter what. This is not the case with Android. Not fully and completely supported, not just yet anyways.
We will see full Android support for Netflix in due time. Maybe when Ice cream sandwich makes its debut, who knows. All new tablets and phones will run the same exact OS, making it pretty easy to fully support all devices without a problem. That's what I believe they are looking to do. Makes perfect sense.

The is one of the worst consoles ever. My kids wont even play it, thed rather play angry birds on my phone/tablet. Just email netflix ever day about the xoom...bug the crap out of them

That would be nice, if they listed an email address or had a form to submit. Their customer service contact page only shows a phone number. But, I did just call and had a refreshingly frank discussion with the rep who answered my call. He said they were actively working on it and the issue was related to meeting studios' requirements for DRM in Honeycomb tablets. He was aware of the discussions here and on the other Xoom forum and he even said that some users had been able to change settings to make it work (he wasn't specific, but I presume he meant the build.prop device ID or something like that). I'm still running stock, so I told him this wasn't an option but I thanked him for his candor. He said it was definitely in development, but was unable to provide a timeframe.
I have to admit that his knowledge of the issue and his apparent honesty have me satisfied for the moment and willing to wait a while longer.

guys guys, and girls, get playon for android and stream hulu and netflix and everything else from it to your acer or xoom.

This whole thing with neflix cracked me up. I always thought their streaming selection was pretty weak, I only wanted the dvd's as the last rental place in my town went out of business. So I dropped the streaming part, kept the dvd's and saved $2 bucks. To add to that, I always end up using www.crackle.com as it's free and has lots of good movies and shows. It'll also work on the Xoom browser and on my ps3. Netflix screwed up, greedy company is greedy!

Crackle looks interesting but I can't use it without an almost immediate FC on my stock browser. And keeping a pc running at home while I travel, just so I can run a third party streamer, seems unnecessary. I, for 1, am willing to wait a bit longer... (at least until I find something better)

Playon has to be the biggest piece of crap, you can't even rewind with that or skip forward while playing Netflix, also if viewing Netflix thru playon it wont remember your position if you stop and resume later, splashtop is way better. I've paid for playon for a whole year and am so upset with their product

[Q] Onlive

Any news on weather the XOOM has a app for Onlive that will enable use to run the play games? i really want to play my xoom in bed
Has anyone got the app to work yet?

Well it was demoed at E3 so it will be coming out soon.
According to Engadget it may come out next month!

does anyone no how to remove the signed code off the flyers app so i can run the onlive viewer on the xoom?

The Flyer uses a SnapDragon processor while the Xoom has Nvidia Tegra processors. It would take more than just signing to get the app from the Flyer to work correctly.
Remember if you think the answer is some thing really simple. Wouldn't the company figure that out and make the easy changes? That is the question I ask all the time because if it was really simple then it would be a no brainer for a company to make the changes right away to get there product out there.

OnLive on the Xoom
OnLive was release to the market a couple of days ago. I haven't tried it on the Xoom yet. Has anybody tried yet?

yeah it works

Works but.... i can't control any games...
Sent from my MZ601 using Tapatalk

it works, and beautifully. I've played Lego Batman and I demo'd the Darksiders. As long as your internet is fast, the quality/latency is brilliant.
Not all games have a touch UI though, and I read that you can't get full gaming control over 3g, 4g. You should be able to view games in the arena, though. I have a wifi xoom, so
I can't verify that.

I have had no luck with the program. I have 15/2 Cable and the game comes across blocky and extremely laggy. Even the Ui and menu system are laggy and so blocky I can barely read them. I have the same issue on LTE.

can I use a ps3 controller with their games or do I have to buy their controller?

Grand Theft Auto 3

Hi Everyone! I was wondering if anybody purchased GTA 3 today? (It just came out!)
The Droid 3 wasn't listed on the supported devices, but I can see it in the market, and I was wondering if anyone picked it up and has it working on a D3?
Thanks!

It says its compatible with the Droid 3, will try later.

Does it? I didn't see it on the list of supported devices.. and unfortunately nobody has a review of it saying it works on the D3 (why don't people like this phone, it has a freakin keyboard!)
Whatever, I'm buying it anyway... should work on my transformer if it doesn't work on the D3

FYI, the game crashes right to the home screen after the title screen comes up. Looks like it doesn't work

What I read was that there's like 4 version.. GTA3, GTAIII GTA 3, etcetc. And some seem to work on some phones while not working on others

It doesn't work, looks like they aren't supporting OMAP/PowerVR phones yet. But there is hope as they are adding support for the Galaxy Nexus an OMAP/PowerVR phone, and I imagine that release will support similar phones. NFL 12 did this. I would have thought OMAP/PowerVR would be the first to get the game since this seems to be where are the new phones are headed (or at least the Nexus series), but I imagine porting a game takes a while so who knows how long they've been working.

Hi all...
Verzion 1.1 works on my Droid 3 without problem.
I must use apk + data for i9000
I tried play the game with HDMI output on my TV and......GREAD

wow it really does work

Tried it on my bionic and it doesn't work. Crashes.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I have a few glitches...trees are giant green blobs, glass doesn't show up, and the graphics seem lower quality. But still glad it runs!

Version 1.1 is working, I had to obtain the apk since the Android market says its incompatible with the Droid 3 yet Rockstar says they added Droid Bionic support (spec wise they are practically the same)
Graphics are good but laggy, I downloaded them on my phone over wifi. Either way its still pretty amazing that a game that required then then pretty new PS2 can now run on a phone 10 years later.
The nice part is some of the keyboard buttons work, but I don't see a way to remap keys in the options.
The arrow keys work and also:
w - look up
a - look left
s - look down
d - look right
f, enter - enter/exit car
c - change view
space - jump (brake in car)

Where did you find the apk? I tried installing 1.1 from 2 different sites and both did not work. I will eventually purchase this, if Rockstar ever makes a compatible version...

1.1 works okay a bit hard to control but still fun. I have not tried 1.2 as of yet rumor is it runs on all devices but idk

I bought it from the market today. It's on sale for the holidays at $2.99. Seems to be working fine. When I first installed, it froze during the opening video and I had to do a battery pull. But now it's working great.
I just wish they had a keyboard shortcut to punch/shoot. But using W to accelerate and the arrow keys make it very playable.

Im happy that I saw the copy I bought on the first day back in my "not installed" list.. I hated using the copy I downloaded. I want the updates immediately!
Still have giant crazy block trees, but it runs better now
