[Q] iPlayer downloads on Galaxy tab, why not Galaxy S?

Hi there,
My neice was over yesterday with her Galaxy tab. I noticed that there is a download option on BBC iplayer.
Does anyone know why this isn't available on the Galaxy S? I have tried setting my browser to identify itself as iphone, desktop and all the other options but it still doesn't work.
I've instaled Adobe Air, but it won't let me install iplayer download manager.
Any ideas folks
Ta

Overdrive for public library ebooks

Just wanted to let you know that the Overdrive reader for public library ebooks works on the Nook STR.
Here are some miscellaneous tips:
Some libraries don't offer free ebooks. I live in California, and went to the library in the county south of where I live to get a membership in a library that has free ebooks.
I use Opera Mini with Overdrive on the Nook STR. This is for browsing books and downloading them. Overdrive just reads them.
For the most part I find it better to browse on my laptop using the same account, check out on the laptop, then use Opera Mini to download on the Nook STR.
I've been saving the downloaded files to the Adobe Digital Editions folder on the SD card instead of to the default directory provided by Opera Mini.
You need a free Adobe Digital Editions account to use Overdrive.
Overall, this system is considerably more cumbersome than using the Nook (or Kindle) ecosystem, but I love the free pricing!

I'll second this. Overdrive works great.

Isn't this the Nook forum?

Unless I'm wrong, the OverDrive apps use a different DRM than the native Nook Reader.
I put the OverDrive app on my Nook so that I could download books from my library directly.
It didn't seem that I could open those books in the native Reader.
I find the OverDrive reader to be more disruptive with page turns.
A tangent: I'd like to know exactly how the native Reader does page turns.

Anyone know why Kindle Fire doesn't have the Overdrive app in it?

Try Aldiko, download using Opera and open using Aldiko. I find it better than Overdrive. The latest Aldiko does not seem to work for me, but an older one from the aldiko website works.

[Q] Adobe Air support on the Samsung Galaxy Note?

I am a Samsung Galaxy S user and looking to upgrade to a device with a bit more screen real estate. I want to be able to run Adobe Air, same as on my Galaxy S.
However I've been unable to find any confirmation if the device supports Adobe Air. Only found some references that the web browser supports Flash. Adobe doesn't list the Note as certified, I even called Samsung and the reply I got "If it doesn't say it supports Air on our website, it probably doesn't".
Can any Note users please confirm if they can download and install Adobe Air from the Android Market? An example game that requires Adobe Air is Meteor Storm by Terry Paton, or an app like "ColorUp Lite- Photo Editor".
Any help appreciated

ITV Player is an Adobe AIR app, and it works fine on the Note.
Regards,
Dave

Best ebook reader app for the sgt7 (gingerbread)

I know that there are many reviews for popular ebook reader apps for android (a couple of which are even preinstalled on the stock rom), but i wanted to see how the sgt7 community liked the speed and UI of them specifically on this hardware due to having strange size and resolution comparatively to android tablets (usually 10.1" at 1024x800) or phones which are typically <4.3" at much lower resolutions.
I have a pretty large ebook collection that is a combination of pdf and epub files so i don't really care about downloading books from a market so the services that come with nook, kindle, Kohorn, and Google books apps don't really do anything for me, although ive read that they are also capable readers that can still store and use epub files well so i won't discount them if they are well liked for this application.
Tl;Dr: what's the best ebook reader application for the sgt7 that can open and read epub and preferably PDF files with speed, style, and ease? Id also like text highlighting, bookmarking, and resuming the last open page when opening a book as well as a "collection of book covers and titles" view rather than having to use a filesystem browser if possible. - in the end, something like ibooks for android only faster preferably.
Thanks!

You can try Aldiko Premium edition... it is very nice book reader with support from pdf as well epub with additional features like highlight, dictonary and bookmark.

I tried so many PDF readers and I think Repligo reader was the best one for my needs. works in landscape/portrait. Makes ebook easy to read, saves where you left off, it's very fast compared to most and there are some editing options if needed.

I really like Kobo, but the "Night View" option doesn't work properly on my Tab. The screen goes black, the headline red but the text doesn't appear at all.
I also have fond memories of the Moon+ Reader on my phone but after I started using Kobo on that, I uninstalled Moon+.

Samsung Memo and Pen Memo Widgets???

I have the Samsung 7.0+ and 8.9 tablets running Samsung's latest stock 3.2 on both tablets. Both tablets have the Samsung Memo and Pen Memo applications, but I noticed that there are Widgets for the Samsung Memo and Pen Memo apps on the 7.0+ which are not available on the 8.9. Talk about Android fragmentation!!! There seems to even be fragmentation from the manufacturers as well it seems.
Galaxy Tab 7.0+
/system/app/Memo.apk = 13.61MB
/system/app/PenMemo.apk = 6.48MB
Galaxy Tab 8.9
/system/app/Memo.apk = 5.48MB
/system/app/PenMemo.apk = 6.64MB

Yeah, and similar differences between 8.9 and 10.1
In parameters, on same version 3.2, there is a firewall setting on 8.9 that is not present on 10.1
