Agreed!! Its about time!

downloading now. I have never used pandora period but I have heard it's really nice so I will give it a try.
Thanks.

just an fyi... pandora doesnt support HERO. so if ur running hero on ur g1 it wont work grrrrr

This is amazing... I've been emailing Facebook, Pandora, and Huffington Post weekly to release official apps. Whenever I got a response, it was "sorry, but we're working on it... we have multiple projects going", etc. Now two of the three release in one day!

Well that will teach me to go a day without looking at the market!

Jizz in my pants.

Check them out online first to get a better understanding of how the music genome project works. For example how it breaks down music by its various elements and uses your choices to find other music with similar elements. Also look into how the rating system works into that and influences what music you're served...
I've been using Pandora for years... I love the concept and their execution...today is a happy day for me.

I'm not sure if it's allowed. It is a free app, though. Can someone confirm if it's ok? If it is, then I'll post it. I don't want to get the ban stick

Cheers dude, the UK doesn't seem to have the facebook app either!

Updated Swype Beta

Has anyone been able to get the most updated version of Swype on work on the N1? I'm talking about the version with the button for voice command.

Yeah running it here. Big improvement.

I tried to install the update and it says that it's not optimized on my device. It won't swype at all. It only works as a normal keyboard.

Same, downloaded fine but no swype action.

I read the Swype forum and apparently you have to wait till a screen pops up and click enable. I was clicking back once it finished installing, so the license didnt' download.

Well I tried it again and this time it works awesome! Faster then ever, no notice in accuracy but I'm a swype ninja and that voice icon looks great in my corner he is mine and I shall call him mike

I'd kill to get in on the Swype beta. I'm growing tired of SwiftKey and its slowdowns.

Yeah I'm addicted to swype but hate their "sell it as hardware" business model and makes me really wish something better would come along because I will not buy a specific phone for swype because anything I pick won't get it, N1, G2 or the upcoming NS. Just sell the **** in market, even if it's $20, I'd rather pay the $20 to load it on whatever Android device I choose. It's all good for me being in the beta but I know it sucks for the rest of the world.

it only works fine for the first few days.
Now it sucks again ... just the same as September beta. Still can't delete words scraped from your address book, if you have 3K contacts with every name the world has ever known in every language, that sux.

For those wishing to get on the Swype Beta list the URL is https://beta.swype.com/android/create/.
I signed up when the registration period had ended and was able to get it some time in January. Hope this helps someone.

Game Gripper

I bought the EVO Shift in part because I wanted to play emulated games. A company called Game Gripper makes these pretty cool attachments to use with physical keyboards. It is basically a button overlay that is shaped and functions like a console controller. I put a picture of one below. They have gotten pretty good reviews. If you are interested in the attachment you should head over to the Game Gripper website and put in a request. I don't know how many requests they need before they produce a Game Gripper but the more they get the better the chances they will produce one. The EVO Shift is actually listed on their request form so maybe they are developing or getting ready to develop one already. You don't even have to enter your email or anything.

Looks like they won't need to make phone specific versions anymore.
^ Shift Faced

Wow, that's cool. The only turn off for me would be the normal one is $15 and that one is around $50. I would definitly be interested in it if I didn't have a keyboard though.

True. But you wouldn't have to buy a new one if you got a new phone. I like that.
^ Shift Faced

But I'd much rather have a cheaper piece that just snaps on to the keyboard, then it doesn't require an app/having the bluetooth radio on. Emulators burn enough battery as is.

I put in a request for this this morning before even seeing this post. Looks like great minds think alike. I came from the EVO just so I could have a keyboard for emulated games...

I sent a request for it a while ago and they told me to keep checking that it would become available at some point.

Anyone have an update at all on this? I am dying to get a game gripper on my phone.

I just got a shift, coming from a Samsung Moment, and was trying to remember what the company was called making these. I don't think it took long for when they had the Samsung Moment request form up and when they started to make them.

I was looking at these earlier this week (I fell in love with psx4droid) and there is probubly no chance they're going to make one of these for the shift. I mean common, this isn't the most popular phone, I wish it was though.
Btw the emulators gensoid, n64iod, gameboid, every ____oid have all been removed from the market, but they are FREE on the slideme appstore. Don't worry they were put on by the dev, not pirated.
Pls click 'thank' if this helped!!
No I'm not using Tapatalk... I'm using the XDA Premium app, cause I got balls.

I have been using the Tiger emulators since they are free but allow you save states. They are still available.

I like the tiger ones better. And fpse is a far better ps emulator. Stuck with N64oid though.

Put in my request for one this would really be awesome.

Nice, hopefully they eventually make one for us. The Epic had one at this point in it's life cycle so we'll see.

Don't Think...
To my knowledge, when I play emulated games, it will only register 2 keys at once, I can push a third, but it doesn't do anything, even if I have it registered. I don't think a physical one is possible cause of this, but a bluetooth one (assuming we can find one that sends the correct frequency for those still stuck on the gb update) would work just fine.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I may just have a faulty unit, or there is something we can do like the epic users did to stop them from dropping keys when they typed too fast, that might help us here is I'm not the only one with this problem.

Vendetta online

i saw the vendetta online on xoom trailer,and i want to play it badly,anyone got a release date or beta test date?

Says coming April 2011 on the Tegra Zone app.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

The devs say it should be launching soon!!!!

In the meantime you can play the PC/Mac/Linux version. I just signed up online and I'm trying it out tonight. Game looks like Freelancer (great PC game), but online...which is amazing.
Start your journey so you can make the jump when it comes in April! (Seen on Tegra Zone). XD

lol thats what i thought,i love freelancer,and play in one of the multiplayer mods, and i am starting to play it on my pc for now,but i want motion control1!!!!lol

It's available !

So I was kinda hyped about it,cause im a freelancer fanatic, and space fighters are my thing, and the thought of controlling a space fighter with my xoom is well, kinda hot? Anyways, so I was thinking, maybe I got my hopes up, and was expecting to much from this game? Or maybe It was my expectations that were to high...But as I sit and play this game on my Xoom, and 100% sure my thoughts were wrong, this game is amazing, everything I was looking for in a space fighter on the Xoom!

game is out as of today. Was gonna make a new thread. But desided to revive this one

I'm a fan of space flight and something on the Xoom could be pretty neat (but not sure about the controls.)
However, one of the reviews mentions a trial and subscription? Whats up with that? Buying the app plus paying a subscription to play? I haven't found the details yet but I'm lookin...
Edit:
Found a preview through a link on the vendetta website. $10 monthly subscription.

How many MMO's are available for mobile devices?
They should go the micro-transaction route like pocket legends. Pay for what you want to do. You spend a lot of time playing, you spend more money, a little time, a little money. The model has proved extremely profitable for them. 40-50% more profitable on Android than iOS too, as announced earlier today.
It looks neat and all, but I'm not going to buy an app that requires a subscription for a game that I would likely only play intermittently.
Edit:
Also, PC players are in the same world? I foresee a lot of Xoom users getting their asses beat down pretty hard.
I wonder if the subscription at least is transferable to the PC. ie, play on either device? I dunno..still hard to swallow for a game released in I think 2002?

The Android Version includes:
" Single-Player "Free Play" mode: after completing the tutorial, a free-play sandbox sector becomes available, letting you perfect your flying technique and enjoy minigames while offline. This feature will be expanded in future patches, and will permanently be available to anyone with the game installed, regardless of whether they ever choose to subscribe. Enjoy!"

If you want this game just google the apki have it running on my galaxy s it kind of boring and there only a 16 hour trail what that all about

this is not my app, but i never saw it here and a search didnt pop it up, so maybe some of you dont know it. i dont see why ms would bann it, but yeah, if you interrested in the story check his website:
http://smartypantscoding.com/R_I_P_-Imagewind-for-Windows-Phone
but i love the app!
design is perfect
function is always good to kill some minutes
basicly it will show you all pictures that are posted on twitter at the moment.
it does that with sleek animations and you can always digg deeper into the content.
where the picture can be viewed like you would want it on a touchscreen.
one more time i have to say, awesome design!
not like those "i just started programming 99cent apps"
this is really worth checking out, only available via xap sideload...
download here:
http://imagewind.net/wp7/
also dont miss the silverlight webapp over here:
http://imagewind.net/
awesome stuff!!!​

this is cool! thanks. i dont like twitter but i like this haha

oh good i've found it, thanks! works perffect!

app slowed to a crawl
Have been using this app for around a month now and i must say its great fun, almost hypnotic. However yesterday the picture generation started to run slowly, then crawl, now it takes around 5 mins per line to populate.
So has anyone else experienced this behaviour from the app? does anybody know if the development is still going with the app or if there is a newer version than the one posted here?
FYI i have uninstalled the app and reinstalled to no avail and i have tried to contact the developer via the web page comments section but the Capture window does not work and so i cannot leave a comment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Creamy

I can't download the xap file.

There you go:

OK so I have no idea if SmartyPantsCoding is still supporting this, but the app has slowed down because it can't see most of the image URLs on twitter anymore.
Twitter has started shortening ALL URLs on it's service automatically using the t.co service. This means the app cant search the timeline for items with pictures in them (at least not without some re-coding) tho for some unknown reason, tweetphoto links still work. These might be the only links twitter doesn't shorten.
This sucks for us who liked the phone app (and the website imagewind.net) but it means Twitter can now get analytics info, which I gather they have now made available......

nice App
Thanks

Its been re released and is working nicely on my Mango HD7. I doubt it will make it to the marketplace again so here is the Xap
Kind Regards,
Creamy

Anyone happen to have a version 1.2 xap ? Ver 1.1 doesn't work, and 1.3 (above) doesn't support Twitter.
1.2 is supposed to do both Twitter & Flickr. I'm not sure it's past the url issues that broke 1.1, just thought I'd ask if it's out there. Thanks.
EDIT: The above xap does have an option in setting to switch to "unsafe" mode, which pulls pics from Twitter. Works flawlessly. My bad.

thanks, great find!
