Haven't tried it yet since I'm not by my computer but I saw this article and thought you guys might want to try it out
Seems like an great copy of itunes now for all us window users with the app browsing capability in addition to the music sync.
What do you guys think about it?
hmm like appbrain. Made me remember Google's mp3 store demo from GoogleIO (mp3s from the market).
Not sure how many of you have heard of Plex, but the idea is you install the server, and it indexes all of your media however you'd like to have it setup.
Then you can either port forward, or only use it locally, and it gives you access to all of your media on your iPad, iPhone, and Android phone. Well it gets better, they just recently updated the app to work with Honeycomb.
I've been playing with it, and streaming some movies remotely and it looks great and is very stable. Now I can watch all those episodes of Archer that I missed on my Xoom.
They blogged about it here..

the cost is 4.99 (I think its still 4.99) but its worth every sent in my opinion.
I was also able to stream full 1080p movies to my Xoom without a hitch.
Just thought I'd share.

I didn't see the other post regarding this. you may delete this. haha
Does anyone have the latest apk? I have 0966 but it doesnt seem to work it connects and acts like it is going to play the movie but then doesnt .
Per the subject line, I need to be able to start working on videos using my photos to put together stories. SO I need to be able to import my photos, show how long they should show before transitioning to the next one, and support a music track and an audio (voiceover) track. I have looked at what is available online, but the only thing that even sort of works on Android is Jaycut, and I'll be darned if I can figure out a way to get it to do two audio tracks.
Anything (!) out there, or do I need to accept that I have a use case that requires iOs rather than Android?
There is movie studio.

Umm... have you actually tried using that program? Not only is there 0 documentation (the Google web page for it literally just lists that it comes with Honeycomb), but it does not seem to support any of the items I need.
Of course if you've figured out how to make it work, PLEASE tell
I have used it moderately. And to be honest from what I can see, it can probably get by to your needs. But would need some work. Honestly if you really need all that, and know the ipad can do it, get the ipad.
I have purchased books on the B&N store (previously owned nook) and google play store. Is there any legal/legit way to be able to read these books from a customizable reader like cool reader?
B&N store allows me to download an epub, but it seems to crash cool reader if i transfer it manually to the nexus7. (I tried removing the weird naming format but nothing, pathetic attempt but its all i could think of)
The google play store allows me to download the acsm, but i cant seem to do much with it.
I tried some googling on conversions, but honestly, i got so much trash response (HEAVY results with any search including google play or B&N store) from a search I couldnt find anything useful.
I'd appreciate even a point in the right direction if this can not be solved here, I'd just like to consolidate my purchases to a more customizable reader.
I use a program called calibre to change format of my ebooks.
Hi everyone. I am planning to buy a noble Hd but I live in Europe and I have a couple of questions.
Will I be able to fully use it or will i loose any features? I plan to istall cyanogenmod. I mainly need it to read so will i be able to insert ebooks and read them?
The most important is that need to read from the web.does the crome browser support article view?
Does it worth to buy it or not?will i have access to all android apps?
Thank you in advance!
If you install Cyanogenmod you will lose the Nook app store, which isn't a great loss. You will still be able to buy/read Nook books if you install the Nook app, but you will need to either find the apk or install the 1mobile app store, as the Play store will say the app is incompatible if you're running Cyanogenmod. CM11 (Android 4.4) will give you vastly better performance than the stock ROM, though, which is a heavily customized and somewhat locked down Android 4.1. As long as you install a gapps package you will have Play store access on CM. Play store and various Google apps are built into the latest stock ROMs, so either way you can have Play store access. If your books are DRM-free there are many choices for epub readers. I prefer Overdrive Media Console, Readmill and Play Books (note that while Overdrive and Readmill can load locally stored epubs, Play Books requires you to first upload the book you want to read to the Play Books site and then re-download the book through the app). Those are just my personal favorites, though; there are a ton of epub readers out there. Fabrik is also another outstanding epub reader, but I don't use it because it's very slow to load. If you are using the mobi format you can use the Amazon Kindle app. I can't tell you much of anything regarding the capabilities of the Chrome browser, as I prefer Opera or UC Browser, nor can I vouch for article view, as I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean exactly. You might investigate the Readability app if Chrome doesn't do it for you, but the capabilities are the same as any other Android phone or tablet, so if you have an Android phone you can test out Chrome in advance, before you buy the tablet.

Thank you for the immediate and full of content response. I am about to buy the Noble, I just have to check for the article view. It is actually a mode on mobile browsers witch remove all unnecessary content in order to read articles,opinions , actually anything written in the web.
Ah, well, that sounds pretty much like what Readability does. Like I said, I don't know if Chrome does that or not, but if it doesn't you should be able to share the page to Readability and then it'll do it.
Barnes and Noble in the US only ships within the US. You'd need to use a reshipping company to received the nook in the US and forward it to you. shipito.com will do this for about €35. Alternatively B&N's UK store currently has all Nook accessories for £5 (http://www.nook.com/gb/store/accessories). Again, if you're not in the UK you'll have to get it reshipped.
The latest Nook firmware doesn't have the Nook Browser, and it was this that had ArticleView. Anyway when you install CyanogenMod all the Nook apps will be removed, but you'll be able to install almost any Android app. As such you may want to ask the visually impaired community if there is an Android browser that fits the bill.
