I need something to explain to me why everyone likes this program? I guess I dont understand it enough to know exactly what it is or why the facination. Isnt it simply a search engine and if so isnt google better? I suppose this is a lame question but for the last year or so I have been hearing people talk about live as if its the next best thing to sliced bread. So whats the scoop?
Do you mean Live Search, the alternative to Google. Or do you mean Windows Live, found at get.live.com, the family of Web Services that microsoft has/is developing of which Live Search is one such service.
Web Search and GPS Mapping
Breaking it down a little more, you probably mean Live Search Mobile which is a mobile app that inlcludes a today screen search box (to search Live Search) and a GPS Map Service. I believe this can be found at m.live.com from your phones browser. This is great if you don't have TomTom or other Sat Nav software. Its free!
Contacts, Email and IM
Then there is the killer app the Windows Live mobil app which synchronises your contacts and Windows Live Hotmail with your Kaiser, and adds Windows Live Messenger to it. For a Hotmail and WLMessenger user this is simply perfect. Download from this thread "Collection of the Latest Cabs for kaisers [updated 19.11.07] ".
Yeah.
I like some of W Live on my phone. But it doesn't integrate w/ pocket Outlook the way Google does: <MENU>, "Locate in Google Maps"
And, I think that having to pick a location via <State>, <City> is a little arduous. I like just typing "Italian" and "Providence" in Google when I want to eat meatballs and pasta.
But WinLive has the great Movies tab....
It does too. just not as cleanly as google maps. if you go to location settings or directions, it allows choose from contacts. you just can't do it from the contacts screen.
Correct Live Search does allow you to find addresses from you contacts. Also I find that when I enter an address Google Mags is usually off by several houses (mine: one house, a client: 3 houses), where Live Search is usually spot on. Google Maps is better with traffic as Live Search dosen't show my area.
Windows Live Clarification
So just to try and clear up the branding mess that is Windows Live.
Windows Live Mobile Portal
Access WL features via PIE or other mobile web browser. Includes link to mobile web version of Hotmail, Messenger, Spaces, MSN, Search and more.
http://mobile.live.com
Windows Live Mobile Search (Google Search competitor)
As stated above. Simply the mobile web version of the Live.com search engine.
http://m.live.com
Windows Live
Application for Windows Mobile that allows for Hotmail/Live Mail Contact and Email syncing. Includes a Live Messenger chat client and two Today plugins (one which launches Windows Live Mobile Search in PIE)
You can download various builds of the app from this thread.
Live Search
A great Mapping and Local search program for Windows Mobile and Blackberry (Competes with Google Maps program)
Download it from http://wls.live.com
Hope that helps anyone confused with the insane naming scheme MS came up with.
I'll add that Live search with the Kaiser's GPS is very good, center on your location find a location and then it will draw a route on-screen and give turn-by-turn directions on a moving hybrid satellite map with chimes at turn points with text instructions. It doesn't have "heading up" but it's very impressive. I believe Google maps will do something similar, I keep both on-board.
Is there a way to get live search on the today screen? I have installed it but does not show up in the options to display.
Okay, I know Flickr (from Yahoo!) is a great photo sharing site, but when Picasa is a Google product, how is it there's no app (that I've seen-maybe I'm missing something) for Picasa for the Eris? It's just odd to me, that's all. I use Picasa like it's going out of style, and I wish there was a way...
Am I missing something? If so, please, do tell!
If you hit share when selecting a photo it lets you choose picasa

Sorry, I guess I was more aiming at finding a Picasa App to view pictures. I apologize for not stating that properly! lol I knew about sharing pics, just wanted to view them like you can on your Flickr account.
picasa, being owned by google, doesnt really need an app per se.
google is just damn good at making mobile websites. none of their software have apps except for things made specifically for apps (shopper, etc), things that wouldn't work well with the current mobile web technologies (finance), or voice, which really does need an app to be more closely integrated with texting/calling, and for it to be able to notify you of new messages.
all of google's services, like reader and picasa, and so many more, just stay online. Google is a very very big "cloud" company. cloud computing is the whole basis of android, and the upcoming chrome os.
Lemcott is correct. Just open your browser and browse to google.com (if that's not already your homepage ), tap 'more' at the top of the page and then select Photos from the drop-down. That gives you access to all of your Picasa albums. Your other option is to use the 3D Gallery app. It syncs with Picasa.
I'm looking for a minimal gTasks app with a screen widget that is transparent and looks clean.
Currently using the free version of Google Tasks Organizer which is not transparent and has annoying green arrows to cycle through nonexistent/undeletable lists...
Thanks!

Best Google Tasks App
I tried all tasks app that sync with Google Tasks and ended up using BHive Google Tasks. I really like it so far! It really allows me get different views of my tasks through its filtering system. You can for example setup a filter to only show high priority tasks, due today, with the tag #computer (and the filters are available as quick buttons on the main screen). Also it allows you to group and sort your tasks really cleverly. For example you can have the task list broken up by priority, due date, task list and then with each group further sorted by other attributes. Last but not least it has the same cool new task facility as Remember the milk, hard to explain, you have to try it. Also its the only app that has more advanced recurring options, similar to that of outlook and ical.
Hopefully to save a few people some time - I spent a whole day yesterday researching and deciding on the best way to go regarding a task management app.
As I researched i discovered that Google Tasks introduced the first/new Google Tasks API this year - see Youtube: "Google I/O 2011: Google Tasks API"
On this basis Google tasks would be a nice option to get a laptop solution as well as a mobile solution with synchronization between the two AND it integrates into Google Calender All VERY Android and cloud friendly.
So now I just needed to find the Android app which uses the new API and syncs with Goggle tasks. I found these:
Any.DO
Astrid
BHive Google Tasks
Google Tasks Organizer
Checkmark
Tasks N Todos
Toodledo
One of the binds of using these task apps is the time it takes to put an entry in. I didn't try them all from the list above but once I tried BHive I was sold. (This also ties in with victorcharlie's comment above - how I found this thread in a search btw!)
After the task description entry (which can be entered immediately after opening the app) they have used one press large buttons to allow v.quick entry of the rest of the data (without any shunt up/down nudge type data entry if you know what I mean or text entry using small keys). This steps you through each section of entering the task VERY rapidly and non fiddly.
Then with sync on auto or manual, the entered task on Android appears on the laptop in Google Tasks and Goggle Calendar at the task due date in the calendar. Really cool and logical. I won't go into the other great things about it here -
thedailybuggle.com has a nice review of BHive Google Tasks:
"how-to-sync-google-tasks-with-android"
BHive Google Tasks also has what the first poster in this thread Pheno.menon was asking for "a screen widget that is transparent and looks clean" and it has two sizes of widget available.
Try all the test apps and you decide. Astrid has the biggest following by far but that doesn't have to mean it's the best. Please report back here, I would be interested to here what you find.

Forgot to say - if your a Google chrome user this Chrome extension taskmail.org is great for adding tasks from web pages. Just select some text in the web page to use as a task description, then right click and select 'create task'
Also Google's chrome extension for tasks is good too "Google Tasks (by Google)"
Another tip and a v.nice feature. If you get an email say for example a Car Service due - go into the email, then select the more button, then "Add to tasks". This automatically creates a task which includes a hyperlink back to the email
Is there anyway to set google tasks so that an email can be automatically converted to a task?
This would be helpful as unlike in a desktop browser there doesn't seem to be a way to convert an email to a task in the gmail app on the phone.
I've tried a few - Any.DO was the most simplistic that I found and super easy to use.

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!
Thnakx a lot for the application !!! It's very very very amazing to use your custom calendar with Live-Tile ! I have replace the System calendar tile by this !!
Congratulations
If you want to translate this in fr-FR ... i can do it !!!
just downloaded!!!! great app!!!
great application, is it possible to put it in czech marketplace?
Thanks. It has been published to all Marketplaces, but is currently written in English only. If anyone interested in doing translation go here or here to submit feedback.
i have open the calendar app to add appointments to this app?
You manage your appointments as usual, either on your phone or PC. The app will sync it (only if its a Live/Hotmail calendar).
beautiful, perfect. thank you
I really like this app, any plans to include other calendars?
Most likely Google Calendar http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/topic/90546-gmail-account-other-calendar-accounts-integration/
+1 for Google calendar also
About translation fr-FR
I have offered my services to that address : http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/topic/60071-we-are-looking-for-app-translators/
Regardless of what calendar, this is great!
It was easy to convert my google calendar to Live, using Outlook. Might drop google completely, since syncing between my phone and Outlook are the only thing that matter. What website hosts it isn't so important. That Outlook can sync my calender during send/receive actions is sweet.
Update idea:
Instead of things showing up as "in 3 days, in 5 days", perhaps "Today, Tomorrow, day of week for current week, calendar date for any week following", or something like that. I love this app, but am not a fan of the way the dates show up on the tiles in that fashion.
Thanks!
Another thought.
Have one of the two tiles actually link to the calendar app. Otherwise, still need the WP7 calendar live tile to get to the calendar w/o scrolling to applist.
---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------
Also, it seems that once you turn the backsides of the lives tiles on, you cannot turn them off again.
I want my left tile off and my right tile on date. But, I already played with the left tile. I can make it either date or calendar, but I cannot turn it off. I cannot turn both off at the same time either.
Ah. I get it now... unpin the tiles. Repin the app and set up the tiles again.
Support Exchange 2010 and tasks and you will have another happy customer.
Awesome App. Any plans for multiple calendar support ?
Pls, is it possible to put it in UK marketplace?
Very good app, but we need Exchange calendar support
I really like the idea and the concept of this app.
What I´m missing is:
1. by tapping on one of the tiles the original calendar should open for being able to add new appointments (Is this possible in general ?)
2. Exchange/outlook calendar support
3. shorter sync intervalls for the live tiles, but I think 30 min update is a restriction of the OS. Alternatively the manual sync process can be started by tapping on one of the tiles.
Feedback
Thanks all for the suggestions. We hope to implement all through time but need to prioritize depending on demand; for that we have a voting/feedback/support site, so please add your requests and voting at http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/forum/10078-appointile/
