Some may or my not know that amazon is kicking off their store by offering 1 free app every day.. now if you already downloaded the app just click on the icon and its on the front page... but for the rest of you follow the link below.
todays app is Farm Frenzy
i have not been able to download the APK for the amazon store yet. i have been trying for 2 days now. Does anybody have this?
Here you go.
I was skeptical about their app store at first but now I really love it. My family all shares one Amazon account so if one person buys an app we can all use it. Plus this free-app-a-day sceme that was so popular on iOS is now on Android. Excellent work, Amazon.
So Happy Its Thursday

So they can charge if you purchase anything, its a pretty standard practice.

Go to any drug store and get a Visa/MC/Amex gift card with whatever little denomination. Amazon needs to have a card on file *in case* you ever ACTUALLY buy something. Standard practice.

Shazam is a cool app I thought about buying it full price before. It tells you the name of a song after listening to it
so when i downloaded the app. i input all of my information. and it keeps saying i need to add a default address to be able to purchase...But i have put a default addres... and all my info..including a card on file. Wtf
It's actually easier to set up an amazon account online and then just sign in from the app...just FYI. Saves headaches
So I am also hearing that apple is crying over a copyright over the name appstore and suing amazon....and he told m thee amazon app store is going t be shut down soon anyone know about this?

Long story short. It's very big in Europe and it's finally in the U.S. because they have to deal with record labels and things like that. You get to stream music from them, and it's pretty much amazing. Also allows syncing to your Android device.

Anyone have luck with caching for offline play with 4g. I can stream fine with 4g but it wont download for offline play when I select a playlist in the offline playlist editor. Works fine over 3g but is uselessly slow doing that.

I disagree. With Spotify you have nearly any album at your disposal. Can cache up to like 3,333 songs for offline play. For me this beats the hell out of wasting disc space maintaining a collection and in turn actually making the artists some money. I canceled my Slacker account. They had on demand too but their cache process sucked, the app sucked, and the library smaller. The Spotify app and service blows it away. $10 a month is nothing if you listen to a lot of music. I've had it 3 days now and have already listened to about 20 different albums straight through. Pays for itself even if you listen to only 1 album a month.

Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Not quite...
With all the due respect to your expertise please note:
The mobostick is a fundamentally different device in that it allows complete mobility and functionality. Simply put, you put it in your pocket and can turn ANY USB equipped playback device (anywhere - at your friend's place, in your car or at a boardroom without carrying your TV on your back from home), to a client to your Android smartphone or tablet. No DLNA devices dependencies on full compatibility...
Additionally, you do not need a router either. All you do is turn on your Access Point on your smartphone or Tablet and you have instant connection in the absence of a wifi router....
Also it is not restricted to just media files. It has simplified sharing which allows you to copy wirelessly files from your device and also beam ANY document to a playback device (presentations, spreadsheets etc...).
As you can see, there is no similarities and no restrictions - therefore there are no comparisons... Apples - Oranges or better, Apple - Android....

Can you walk into a friend's place who does not have a Wifi router, , or your car, turn on your Access Point on your device, and playback anything you want in a heterogeneous environment?
In contrast, you plug the mobostick to any USB equipped playback device and share ALL the files you wish from your phone or tablet, anywhere.....

Hi tech - especially Gen1 devices - have a certain cost to bring to market. Having said that though, when you think that sometimes we shell-out $30 and $40 for a set of hi-end cables for connectivity, it seems inexpensive to spend an additional $20 bucks on a mobostick and have all the wireless connectivity we want, anywhere, and without cables to trip over... Of course, we all have our own budgetary restrictions and it is all a matter of convenience and application.
On another note, you seem to be very well informed as to what is out there that is worth noting...

You have a router in your car?
Guys... you are all smurfs
Mobistick is a super gadget.. you dont know what are you talking about.
You can stream WITHOUT a router or wifi hot spot or anything. It is just connecting your android device without cables to your media player or any capable device that have a USB host and if this device can plays 1080p then you can stream 1080p without the phone to render or decode anything. You can play your game or make calls the same time while someone wathcing a 1080p movie from the storage of your phone.
omg.. you are all dummys

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?

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

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".
