At first I was like OMG, but alas, streaming does not work.

I'm also interested in this, i'll try and find one after my class lets out. There is an app to stream tv shows that I use and it's pretty good, has alot of tv shows. https://market.android.com/details?id=tvshows.kiio.es

Yes I use TV Shows stream as well and its quite awesome although a tad expensive but at least its only a one time fee. Definitely give it a look. Tons of shows to choose from. I use it every day on my tab both with and without my HDMI dock.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome

The tv shows stream app is amazing. The quality of the videos varies but the sheer amount of shows available makes up for it.

I've been doing some research and just looking into it I have the leaked app but not streaming I'm able to move my que and all that good jazz but my question is how exactly is netflix blocking streaming from my Droid and letting streaming on Windows 7 phone and the iPhone...Verizon has both on their network.

DRM in the hardware. The LG Revolution will have NetFlix which supports said DRM. We have the same processor as that phone so hopefully NetFlix adds support for the Thunderbolt.

I was at class all day but I found this link, says it works' for certain devices

As far as I know the leaked netflix app that was announced a few weeks ago doesn't work on the Tbolt.
Oh well. There isn't any other app that I am aware of and I've been an Android girl for over a year now.. So I think you might be out of luck. There is a website though that is java enabled that I use to be able to watch movies through my phone. Hope that eases a bit of the frustration Netflix is causing by not providing an app yet for us
The website name is veetle dot com & I also love LOVE the TV Stream app. That works wonders for me. Hope this helps

Playon works! Had mine working but then my mobile connection broke. Never got to try mobile data to wee how it streams but worked well with WiFi.

Correct, it doesn't work on the TB right now... But it doesn't work on any other phone either at this moment. That's because it is assumed that Netflix hasn't yet "flipped the switch" to turn it on since it's not yet ready for primetime (the .apk itself was prematurely pulled from an upcoming LG ROM dump) and has not yet been 'officially' released from Netflix.
The Bolt has the same processor as the upcoming LG device that is confirmed to support Netflix. As such, it is presumed that the Bolt has the same DRM keys to allow for streaming. It's just a matter of Netflix enabling streaming to the app on their end

From what I understand from one of our reps, is that there is a going to be a netflix streaming app working on Verizon soon, they are waiting for a specific phone to launch it.

can't wait!

So do we know maybe an ETA on when we can expect to see it go live?

Probably around the time the LG Revolution drops (since it is likely the phone that is slated to "launch" the Netflix app), which is scheduled for a Q2 release

That is correct, will first launch on the Revolution. You guys don't have to much longer to wait

can't wait either!

I might actually restart my netflix service when this comes live. Might not be so bad watching movies on this screen. My Inc was just a little too small to really enjoy.

Download music, the legal way.

I'm trying to find the best way to download music that I can sync to my ipod touch where I can pay a monthly fee. Itunes is way too expensive for me but I would like to do this a nonpiracy way. Meaning no torrents or anything that is obviously illegal (Free). What do you guys recommend?

How about Spotify or something like that? I know it's a streaming service but if you get Premium you'll be able to use it on your iPod/iOS/Android device. You can download and save 3333 songs directly on your device for offline listening. It's $9.99 a month.

I have heard about it, but I kept hearing bad reviews on it so I wanted to see what you guys though. Have you tried it out before?

I do not have Spotify Premium, but i use it on my computer. I think you'll get one week trial when you download the Spotify app. You can also download the Windows/Mac/Linux app and take it for a spin for free. You'll get 10 hours of free listening per week on your computer, but you won't be able to listen to music on your device unless you upgrade to Premium.

Do you know of a program for windows to make the audio output louder? I remember I did something on my old laptop that made a huge difference in volume but I can't remember now and my volume isn't that loud at max. It might be that I have gotten deffer over the years lol

Download the free trial of Sony Acid. Many, many, features to create burn and remix.
Increasing volume level would be elementary. Learning the software won't, but it's not that difficult.

Hmm, not sure about that one. I'm using Realtek, but i guess it'll only work with some audio cards or whatever. Search for it on your computer and check if you got it. If not i guess you can find something else on google.

Spotify is fantastic. I've been using it ever since it launched, and it's been extremely worth it. At least for me.
Some people like Rdio more, so check that out. It's the same price, but the app UI is better.

I like the fact that Rdio has a family plan so I can include my gf in there. Can I put the music on ipod though? All I see is that you can take it with you on the phone but I am guessing that's through the app and the apps for Spotify and Rdio have crappy ratings.

If it says "Offline listening" or something about "offline" then it'll store the songs locally. In other words it will download them to your iPod and you won't need a connection to listen to your music.
The Spotify app itself is outdated, but according to Spotify they're working on an update.

Have you tried Napster? If you have unlimited data you can stream and I'm pretty sure you can also download the songs. Monthly charge.

Napster is now Rhapsody but I believe they are only streaming music and you can't actually export the mp3s to your ipod.

Rhapsody will let you have the songs on your device so that you don't have to stream all the time. I'm guessing it has to establish a connection at certain points so that it can disable the music if your subscription ends, but you don't have to constantly stream it.

I can cancel at any time right?

Freebies with the Nexus 7 pre-order

Does anyone know exactly what we get with a Nexus 7 pre-order, and if this only applies to Play Store orders?
So far, I know we get this:
1. $25 Play store credit
2. Transformers: Dark of the Moon full movie
3. Bourne Dominion Book
4. Several magazine issues (which magazines?)
5. Anything else?
If this is only for Play store orders, then it would greatly justify paying extra for shipping instead of trying to buy somewhere else

I called the order info number, and they said the freebies will be added to the first account activated on the device when you receive it.

In the uk were only getting £15 play store and the movie, no books or magazine subscriptions as of yet

You are aware its not hard setting up Google music for in the UK aren't you? You can't buy tracks or albums but the upload and streaming your music works just fine! Google it, it took me 5 mins once I'd tunnelled a US ip address.

Google certainly should have included "Blade Runner" in addition to or instead of "Transformers".
The Nexus 7 Android whose mission it is to kill Rogue Androids... That would have been a whoot!

Since you get a permanent copy of Transformers, I wonder if they will release the ability to purchase movies when the Nexus 7 ships.

All freebies are pre installed ON THE DEVICE and it doesn't matter where you buy it from (hell I doubt Google will stop offering them even after the pre order)
They are all assigned to the first Google account you sign in with

What kind of quality are you guys getting with Chromecast? I was considering buying one so that I don't need to keep taking videos from my phone to my laptop to play on the TV, but I'm a little hesitant with devices like this because of a very, very bad experience with Apple TV.

I've been using AllCast with my Roku3 and it's awesome. I'm assuming it is the same concept. I'll have to check out Avia.
This is basically the whole reason I bought a Chromecast was for when I travel, I can just plug in the Chromecast and send movies to the in-room TV along with Netflix and such. I'm tired of watching movies and shows that I pay for on a 7" screen when there is a 42" TV just 10' away. Glad that I can finally start using it now that development is picking up.
All I need is:
Netflix
Hulu
Play videos off my mobile

As long as you stay within the Chromecast's limits and your network's limits, looks good. My TV says Chromecast is feeding it 1080p.
Played Taken 2 via HBO GO and it looked great.

On-device is subject to Chromecast's format restrictions.
Remember that HBO GO, YouTube, Netflix, etc already have and serve their content in Chromecast-compatible format.

Well it may not be quite as easy as all that depending on the Hotel and how they have their network AUTH set up.
Many set up AP Isolation so two devices on the network can't talk to each other....
In some cases it will require Certificate Auth (such as going to a web browser first) which is not going to be very conducive to connecting the Chromecast.
Miracast makes a direct connection but that might preclude you from connecting to the Hotel AP for content on the Web...
Just a forewarning...
