Tons of features in this $15 app including home AND away radio broadcasts of every ML game, a free video Game of the Day, real time GI of each game, video highlights, stats, etc. Worked great the last two seasons on my iPhone and it is available for Android though the only tablet they mention specifically is a 7". Even if the graphics don't scale well, the radio feeds should still work, I guess.
Tech demands as follows:
* Technical requirements for live video on Android: To access live video, the minimum OS is 2.2, supporting Flash with at least an ARMv7 processor. Note that not all 2.2 devices support Flash and users may experience other unexpected device constraints.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Bonus: Purchase of this app gives you free access for the month of April to MLB.tv -- every game available on video.
Yeah, I'm running TnT Lite 4.2.5, and I bought the app and have the most recent update. It won't allow me to view live video, and I have MLB.tv.
I tried running from Dolphin and it was very choppy video; I could tell it won't work.
Hope someone has a workaround that will let me watch semi-smooth live video. That's one of the reasons I bought a G Tab.
I bought the app for my EVO, but I can't see it in the Android market for my GTab. I'd like to use that over my Evo (for obvious reasons).
I had this problem too. I did the Market fix and it showed up, and I downloaded it. It works on my Droid, but doesn't have Live Video on my G Tablet. Huge dissappointment.
Petey, not the answer I was hoping for but thank you.
Do you have MLB.TV in addition to the MLB.com app or MLB.TV alone?
Rick, I am an MLB.TV subscriber, and I have the MLB AtBat 2011 app installed on both my Droid and G Tablet. On my Droid, when I select a game, it gives me the option of watching video (although it asks me for my MLB.TV login information). The G Tablet only gives me the options of game tracker and audio. I guess when it comes down to it, I can watch games on my PC, or if I absolutely had to, I'd use my phone.
One thing I DID experiment with and have some success with is opening the Stock Browser, going to MLB.com, and opening MLB.TV there. It was really choppy, but I turned the quality all the way down, and the quality is bad, but it's definitely watchable, and it is really smooth. So you don't have to get the MLB At Bat app and can still watch live video if you're an MLB.TV subscriber (which was $124.95 this year). I will warn you, though, if you're a fan of a team in the area you're in, it gives blackout restrictions for whatever reason (kinda counterintuitive if you ask me). I'm a Yankees fan in Texas, so as long as they arne't playing the Astros or Rangers, I get to watch them without restrictions.
I was able to download at bat. I have an MLB.tv subscription(have had one for 4 years now) and I was hoping it would work on my gtab. Is there any word on the future of our device being supported

If there is, I haven't heard about it. Maybe some independent developers are working on hacking the app to run on ANY device, but if that's the case then again, I haven't heard about it. I can call MLB.tv and threaten to cancel my subscription if they don't get it working soon on this device (although that may be difficult considering I'm running a hacked version and whatnot), but I doubt it'll help at all.
I have both MLB.TV and AtBat 2011 and can only get audio and gameday. I am disappointed in that this app is the same price as the iPhone/ipad app that has video.
Per MLB.com
Live Video Supported Devices: Sprint HTC Evo, Verizon HTC Droid Incredible, Verizon Motorola Droid X, Verizon Motorola Droid, Verizon Motorola Droid 2, Verizon Motorola Droid Pro, Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Galaxy Tab, HTC Nexus One, T-Mobile Samsung Nexus S, T-Mobile HTC Glacier (myTouch 4G). Minimum OS 2.2 and Installed Flash
If it works on the galaxy....

Not really sure how they determine what kind of machine the user is running. Perhaps there are Galaxy Tab ROMs out there that could confuse the app? Lemme look around and try one out.
I have looked around with little success... I am on TNT 4.4 and tried dolphin browser. the popup doesn't fit right and is choppy... The guy sitting next to me just got an iPad and paid the same amount for the app and is watching baseball laughing at me. Even worse, he is a cubs fan...
If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears!
bummer
Okay, I have VEGAN-TAB on and I did the market fix, but At Bat 2011 is not showing up still (along with a few others like Wunder Radio). Thankfully I can use it on my iPhone, but I cannot get it on my g-Tab. I guess I did not successfully do the market fix? Any other suggestions?
Weird, I just went in and did the market fix AGAIN for like the 7th time and now everything shows up! AWESOME!
MLB.tv works fine when you use the Opera Mobile browser. You just need to log in first from the game selection page at:
http://www.mlb.com/mediacenter
After you log in at that page, select your game, and watch away. Go white sox.

Which Opera browser are you using? Opera 11?
I had no issues using the stock browser (setting it to Linux Desktop) to watch MLB.TV. It got a little choppy now and then, but all in all, good picture/sound.
My wife wants a Xoom to play Bejeweled and solitaire on while on the doctors office. She has no experience with Android. I was wondering when she gets one of these will she be happy if she just used it for those two games? Could I find these type of games for the Zoom? I wish the market let you know what would work on a tablet and what wouldn't. I have a Samsung Vibrant that's rooted and running a custom rom so I am not totally dumb when it comes to Android. She asked for the Zoom but I am not so sure that the Ipad wouldn't work better for her. Any comments would be helpfull. I do plan to take her to Bestbuy and let her try both.

there is a knockoff bejeweled in the market that works and quite a few solitaire apps. Those two games would be available if she got the Xoom. If those will be her primary uses of the device, get her the Ipad. In the end, its most important that she decide. I love my Xoom, but an Ipad might be more appropriate for a casual tablet user.
'Keeping it real
Just a thought here but if she really does only
want it for those games have you considered
buying a lower end tablet?
Some 2.2.1 tablets on chinadeals.com under 100£ just placed order for daughters al let you know kk
Sent from my MZ604 using xda premium
Thanks all. She's kind of Motorola brand loyal and I think she will pick the zoom. Unless the Ipad is prettier to her. I thought about a cheaper brand but there are too many considerations/problems with the lower end tablets. What I don't want is something that will be a problem. I have a phone but would like a tablet to play with myself. I've researched everything from the Viewsonic Viewbook vb730 to the Toshiba Thrive for myself.

Thanks again for the help. The Zoom has dropped in price quite a bit. That's one good thing about the amount of Android tablets out there. I've even found a website with disassembly of the Zoom and one selling a battery. I book marked both sites for sure. With my luck she'll pick the Ipad.

Xoom is only good if you root and install custom ROMs to speed the entire thing up (overclock, etc). For simplicity get the IPad. I have both a Xoom and Ipad. Ipad far simpler to use, more responsive with gyroscope, and screen is much better. There is definitely some annoying things about it however -- safari browser, lack of flash, app store where everything is more expensive. Ipad is pretty idiot proof. I'm a tinkerer, so I prefer the xoom, however each there own.

You know, with all the great apps that are available for the Xoom, you should get it instead of an Ipad. Your wife may think she just wants to play a few casual games but she may feel different about it later. The Xoom has a lot more capability to expand to her needs than the Ipad. Plus, android is just better...not for pod people. (IMHO.)
I honestly think that the Ipad would be the easiest for her. But me, I like to tinker so the Zoom or Galaxy Tab would be the way for me. Gonna try to get her to check out the 7 inchers also. Thanks again for all of your advice and info.

What did she end up going for?
Bejeweled 2 works fine on the xoom! Androids much better than the ipad, apple is for the herd.... wanna follow the sheep... get a ipod, ipad, iphone, applemac
Can you download and run Internet Explorer 8 on this device for web browsing?
Wtf
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Maybe I should have clarified. I am looking at purchasing a tablet that will support Internet Explorer 8 for work purposes. The web program we use is only compatible with IE8 (not IE9 or any other web browser). I would like to get the tablet through Verizon to have the 3G/4G service when Wi-Fi is not available. Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy Tablet, the iPad2 or any other tablet they offer could be rooted to allow IE8 as the web browser instead of the factory installed web browsing system?

Is not posible, IE8 is for Windows. Android and IOS have a full diferent system.
And even if you bought a tablet thats compatible with Win8 (WeTab etc.) It will not run an "old" IE8... so most liekly no IE8 on a Tab

Hey Guys,
I've always been reluctant to buy a Tablet because I personally do not see a reason to own a Tablet, Laptop, and a smartphone. However, I recently found out that I will be getting a new Kindle Fire HD 7" for free through my cable company.
My first intent was to get it, sell it, and keep the money. However, after much consideration I figure I would just keep it. Needless to say, I began doing some research, and still researching, on the KF HD 7" as well as the Nexus 7 and am considering to sell it again. However, this time I want to sell it and use the money to purchase a Nexus 7.
Now my question to you, I have read the pros and cons of both devices on a technical level and would like to know your thoughts.
Having owned a KF HD 7, would you do what I am considering?
From a user perspective, why should I or should I not keep the device?
Anyone?

keep
I personally would keep it because i enjoy tinkering so much, the kindle fire is a bit of a challenge because of its locked bootloader but ive managed to get quite a few things working, and im continually able to tweak it. However if your not the type of person to tinker like that? Id consider another tablet.

^^^ that.
The locked bootloader (even though it's now been fixed) is a big minus (why encourage this kind of behavior?). I use the n7 constantly. It's the bees knees.
I got the Kindle Fire HD free through First Bank. If I had the choice between both devices free, I certainly would have chosen the Nexus.
However, when I took into consideration the fact that I had the KFHD in my hand for free and didn't want to go through the hassle of selling it and buying a Nexus + tax, I simply kept the Kindle and rooted it. This is assuming I would have gotten full value for the KFHD, not paid selling fees, postage, driving etc. I would have rooted the Nexus anyway, so I consider time spent doing that with the Kindle a wash.
As a matter of principle though, I'm not a fan of how locked down Amazon made the device and don't want to support that in the future. I can understand why they did this and how it impacts the price point, but it's also something I would reconsider if given another opportunity.
All things considered, it's a great device (now) and I love it.
cheers
Enjoy the Kindle for what it is, tinkering makes things fun.
thank you so much
Thanks guys for your input. It seems that the Nexus will be the better choice for me especially since I am a flashing junkie.
I already have two people that want to buy the Kindle from me for 200.00 (not sire why, but I am not complaining).

Personally, I much prefer the Amazon launcher over just a bunch of icons and widgets on a screen. I hate iCon devices because they're all just icon interfaces with no widgets. I like Android much better. But the Amazon is an evolvement. If I want to, I can put on a Go Launcher, or something - without rooting - and get all the widgets and little icons I want with the click of a button from the Amazon interface. I had the 16gb version of the HD 7" and rooted it, added ADW Launcher EX, and tricked it all out. It was cool, but... it was the same as all my other Android tablets and phones I've had, and have. I like the Amazon theme throughout the HD. I like the big icons and the fact that, for once, someone actually created an interface for a 7" tablet, and didn't - like Apple did - just shrink the tablet into a 7" factor and scaled it down so you can't even read the text under the icon-ville of their interface.
just remember, if you do watch any of your own videos you most likely will not be able to on the kindle fire HD. Even with outsidfe media players (which I believe there are a few of in the amazon app store) I have heard that the codec support is very limited

I agree with you. We seem to be the minority, but when using a device like the Kindle Fire.. My wife and I find it easier to use the full Amazon ecosystem with the way they have it setup. Its very convenient to have the category bar across the top for videos and books and it takes you right to the videos or books area embedded into the tab. You don't have to "open" a program persay.
I find normal Android for tablets to be pointless. I have the N7 as well and I've just left the home screens empty. No need for widgets as I do all my widget stuff from my phone... I will have the tablet in front of me and subconsciously find myself pulling out my phone to check email, clock, calendar, and even browse the web. On my other Android devices I usually install the iPad-esque UI because its simpler for the kids and for a tablet is makes more sense to have a simpler interface.
I would really love to port the KF launcher to my N7

I feel the same way you do when it comes to having an Android Tablet and an Android smartphone. I am now leaning toward getting the HP Envy X2 instead.
I got my kindle fire HD yesterday and sold it today for 200.00 bucks.
Hello,
We have an Nexus 7 that I bought on launch day. We really like it but missed the lack of multi user support out of the box. I bought an app called SwitchMe that allowed us to have multiple users, but had to root to use it. I won another N7 the other day ( work for a company that makes a certain processor ) so I would like to copy all settings/apps/data for each user off the old tablet and put them on the new tablet. I tried doing a backup and restore with Wugs N7 Toolkit, but it didn't seem to save that much (23mb) and none of my home screen settings or apps came across.
I know my way around Windows and I work on linux machines daily, but I know diddly squat about Android. Can anyone point me to an idiots guide?
Thanks,
Chris
You could install a custom recovery and use it to make a backup of the device.
