Beanbag chair (and other fun stuff for our N1)

I saw this cool item over at Thinkgeek and thought I would share. Which also lead me to wondering if anyone else has seen cool/fun/interesting accessories for the N1.
Please share!

Hahahah are they serious? What are they going to think of next? build a bed with a blanket and a pillow for the nexus? "And order now and we will throw in a free night light for your nexus so it wont be afraid of the dark. all you have to do is pay shipping and handling"
Pretty damn cool idea. I've been trying to find something good to lean my phone on at night when using the clock app...this would come in handy.

Looking for a couple brave testers

So I just bought a Slide on eBay, but I wanna go ahead and get things started.
I can do most of the work I think right now before the phone (since it's Sense 3), but I'll need a few brave testers with ADB knowledge and who aren't afraid to flash things.
Somebody help this bro out, he does good work.
You should try this forum:
http://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones_data_devices/android/mytouch_4g_slide?view=all
It seems like most of the people on here like our phones and want to root and rom them, while the people on the t-mobile forum want to complain and cry. I'm sure you'd have pretty good luck on there lowballing someone for their phone!
Got one on eBay a couple of minutes ago. See you guys on the other side . Thanks for the replies.
Sweet can't wait to see what you can do with this phone!
If you don't mind me asking, how much was it on eBay?
I currently have a MT3GS I bought from Craigslist awhile back - got a pretty good deal from someone who decided he'd rather have an iphone, it came with the original box and all the stuff.
Been debating on whether it was worth an update to a 4GS.

It was $340... it said it was refurbished so I jumped on it. That's just around the price range I was looking for, too (extremely hopeful price range).
$400 seems to be the area in which the used ones are selling for...

I did, and I LOVE it! Man if you ported that to our phone I would be eternally grateful, and your phone would have cost you a little less $$$ if you know what I mean

You know I'm in!
I've been one of the ones to dive in headfirst around here so i'll help as I can.
This week, and next, are gonna be real tight on time for me. I still have a few threads around here I have to update...and just can't get more then a few minutes in front of a terminal at a time.
When I get the chance to update my threads, I can sit here and have the phone installing (or whatever) while I do.
Glad to see another dev jumping into the pool here with the MT4GS - it's a sick piece of hardware.
Your list has made it incredibly easy to list out all the apps (I usually have to go through them one by one and try and figure everything out, usually takes 1-2 hours per phone )
Anyways, I can't test it as I don't have the phone yet but Bloater should be setup for it. At least for the apps and stuff. I'll have to add WiFi calling later.
Test it out and let me know what works and what doesn't. I tried not to include anything I wasn't sure about or anything that could be potentially harmful to remove.
If it doesn't recognize something as installed or uninstalled it just means my MD5s mismatch what it was expecting, easy fix.
Install it as a normal APK
I can new a lab rat if needed as I still haven't committed to this as a dd

I'll be willing to test!
Are any of you guys familiar with IRC? This may be easier to do everything there instead of posting back and fourth.
We could try #mt4gs @ freenode
Other than that, I may have my statusbar mods ported today. Just need to fix the resource IDs up I think. I'll need to have someone test.
I'm using Paul's deodex as a base for now since I couldn't find an RUU. So if anyone is running that, you'll just have to flash two files over to test if this works or not .

Someone join so I can use you as a test dummy!

I just got turned onto your work about a week ago, but I will sure miss it. Although they don't need it, the SIII crowd scores another good dev. My upgrade isn't up until August, so who knows what Sammy I'll be on then. Thanks for sharing your talent, and enjoy your SIII!

Online as well. I just got a Note 2.. in the middle of a small battle to be able to get the $50 gift card cause I ordered too early. Just like Deliberate. But because they just introduced this offer on Sunday, and the rep told me I would be able to get it when I ordered over the phone on Sunday.. I might be able to get it.
If you go online and reserve the $50 gift card then you can wait till after the tenth and order a phone.
All in all, I got the Note 2 for $150

You have to reserve the gift card before the 9th. Idk how long the $100 off thing will last. Probably just until the reservation period for the gift card is over, which is tomorrow.
Cheers bud! Thanks for everything!
Thanks OP, enjoy your new device.
