Video Podcasts for phone news? - Captivate General

Anyone know of any good video podcasts or youtube subscriptions that go over the latest phone news going on?

Download the engadget app. It has news and a weekly podcast.

Get the Twit.tv app. It looks great on the Captivate... This Week in Google ends up talking about Android almost full time, and they have said they will be starting an exclusively Android podcast soon.

Haha. Thanks, I didn't know he was still doing that. Is Kevin Rose doing some dark tipper thing for android somewhere or just raking it in from digg?
From the phone on an app

Kevin makes an occasional appearance on TWiT... but usually just to promote New Digg.

[APP] Free Live Cable Channels for Nexus One

Live Tv
Get TV Live TV from the market. Live channels include, MSNBC,ESPN, FOX NEWS, GOLF CHANNEL, CNN, CARTOON NETWORK, DISCOVERY CHANNEL, NBC, ETC. I don't know how he's doing it, but I have MOBITV on my Fuze and AT&T charged me 9.99 a month for some of these same channels. All you need is Froyo 2.2 + Adobe 10.1. Another note, his streams are better ahead of TV MSNBC, or a few seconds behind. However, the quality is much better than paid app MOTV, and video sound is in perfect sync with picture. I wish i could rate it 10 stars for MSNBC alone.
Interesting mind posting a link? Through http://www.cyrket.com/ maybe?
What's the name of the app. I couldn't find it on the market.
eh if he's talking about http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.d3fc0n.android.livetv/
then it sucks..
Doesn't this just load through the browser?

Don't know what problem you are having with this app, but it works perfectly for me. You already posted that it sucks. That's your experience not mine. I can tell you the streams are way better quality then mobitv app, and most importantly it's free. Instead of being 2 minutes behind regular TV it's only a few seconds. Show's exactly what is being shown on TV. No video bull****. Live stream and puts it all in one place, so you don't have to go searching for these channels. I have the app on my desktop. One click to open and then go to channel I want to view, few seconds later it loads the stream. Watched some of Golf tournament on ESPN and looking at show on MSNBC now. What you want a TV guide with time of shows? It's free and it does what it needs to.

Oh so that is the app? It does suck. It seem like it just loads from a browser. The video isn't displaying very well as it scrolls. It very well may be better then mobitv as I never used it if so that is a shame. It doesn't show live streaming for me I checked my tv and compared. The same show wasn't even showing. (maybe it's because of the location I am at? Chicago by the way.) But I guess for a free app it's alright..

Maybe you're just hating on this app for other reasons unknown, but it definitely shows exactly what is on TV and streams perfect. Our experiences are exact opposite. Plus it's free. Move to Cali. LOL.

How hard is it to type in TV LIVE in the search bar in market? Unbelievable. You can lead a horse to water...
Ya, I tried it, not a big fan. Just opens streams in the browser.
i wouldnt say the app sucks cause it does work! However its a lil rough around the edges.
Yeah thanks for the suggestion. It is a little rough but definitely FREE and worthy of the post. It also looks like this app got released THIS WEEK! Some people were just born to hate. Look at "leofroyo's" first page on his thread to see examples of the douchebaggery around here sometimes. Again thanks!
wow thanks so much ..10000000 thanks woohooo!!! well big boss i am new here and i don't have a rooted nexus one .i have the latest frf91 but don't know what to do my main reason anyways there are a bunch most importantly the battery life.it suck big time .help me root my nexus one frf91 ..i will be forever thankful!!

Yep. Credit goes to the Dev. I'm just putting everyone on. I've been watching it on WIFI and it is cool for me. Don't know why anyone wouldn't give it 5 stars, cause it's free. Live channels all in one place, easy to access as shortcut on home screen. and "FREE". Once again it's FREE. LOL. Check out 1TVPC too if the economy isn't breaking you. It's affordable, unlike Jetflicks TV, it has live streams, movies on demand, sports, boxing etc.
I gota agree with the op an this one. I dont know how this app is working for everyone else but its workin pretty good for me. It does seems like its loadin from the browser tho an is alil choppy at times but other than that it works great

AGREE!-Its a little rough on the UI side but overall the function is there and thats what counts. If many of you bothered to read the devs description, its his FIRST EVER APP--cut him some slack...i get all local OTA channels 100%fine and some even 2-3secs earlier than my HAVA box (exact same as SLING but better IMO). My only complaint is low volume, and i would be more than willing to pay $5-SO LONG as he keeps adding channels and removing expired links/dead channels. ALSO my friend, you are the dev if im not mistaken but you are for some odd reason telling people to search for TV LIVE!??Why? If its called Live TV!?? I still cannot find a single app called exactly "TV LIVE"--maybe im talking about a completely different app, but this one is made by a Miguntu labs-i cant imagine someone not knowing the name of their own app tho--nwo im wondering....

well since this is an app and this does work, this belongs here in the apps forum. thanks for your concern
Hey I'm not saying it doesn't. All I said was its been in the Android App forum for sometime now. The discussion has been going on over there. That was all.
Great app....works just fine on my EVO running CM6

I tried listening to a game this sunday and did not get an audio stream. Anyone else?
Just a heads-up...there are also a few sites that regularly run feeds of all the NFL games. Since they use Flash video, guess what phone plays them perfectly I got to watch the Ravens (lose) on the way home from the shore this past Sunday. It was nice.
Which sites do you use?

Well, while I don't claim to be innocent of watching unlicensed streams every now and then, I'm not gonna go posting them here Seriously I found one good site after a single Google search and it has had all of the games so far. Basically just links to different people streaming their capture card input on any one of the popular live streaming sites. It's silly that they make it so hard to watch games when it's obviously no replacement for a real HD channel but then again charging out the ass is the hallmark of professional sports so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Gotta sell those overpriced Sunday Ticket packages somehow...

Very true and I'm fine with that but I don't always feel like doing all kinds of hacks to get a Verizon app authorized on my phone when I could just bookmark a page. To each his own I guess.
this works for menial tasks like seeing scores, but streaming crashes my phone running baked snack after awhile. trying to watch redzone on sunday after awhile the program crashes and the only way to get things back to normal is to pull the battery.
I've been trying to run it in 4G but it doesn't log in at all. But as far as running in 3G I can watch view and do anything without any issues. Kinda sucks but I love having the app again.

gotcha, I do that with most stuff, actually like the LIVE TV app just streams to "one of those web pages", so in that sense the app is pretty much useless, just bookmark the pages. I just miss that NFL app on my Sprint phone!!!!!!!!!!!
how could you let verizon outbid you on THIS ONE sprint
Awesome, I was bummed when Sprint launched that piece of crap update to their NFL app; looked like a kids toy. I just got my Evo purring and this app was on my wish list. Thanks for posting!

I actually like the new sprint football app... they really can't do much more than what they have done with it since they lost the rights to the nfl games.
I also love the NFL app... I just know it is temporary and will have to be redone all the time =| I did actually watch my skinz beat the boys on my phone from start to finish without any issues other than hitting deadspots for a signal..was great!
This app works great. Occasionally cuts out here and there, but not bad for the price!
I was bummed to see that Sprint lost the sponsorship to Verizon, glad this works.
So is there any charges or other terms not mentioned as far as paying for this app monthly or is it completely free?

Any rumors floating around on when we might possibly expect a little streaming action for Android?

It will probably happen on windows mobile first because Netflix uses silverlight to steam its content on PC's, they also have a history of giving Microsoft the first shot at streaming rights.
Windows Phone 7 has had it since release. It's not on android yet due to all the security flaws in androids coding. There would be apps to download movies from netflix within days and that goes against netflix terms of use.
Well they have a non-working app at the moment so it should be right around the corner. All you can do is manage your queue at the moment.

I just started using it (US). It seems pretty cool.
Android and iPhone apps are now up in the respective markets.
I used a proxy and signed up. But dont see the point, since the free account only lets you sync music from your PC. To listen to the streaming service, you need the 10 dollar per month package.

Well here in sweden i'm been using this service for over a year. And it is (by far)the best i've ever used. Sure they don't have every single artist, but there is so many I don't really feel the need for more.
I like it on my but $10 is a bit much for mobile streaming.

After all, $ 10 is too high a price. Available only 15 million songs. You can listen anywhere, anytime and can listen many different devices (mobile, pc etc.) I would rather buy the $ 10 album containing 12 tracks... No. no no .. I should have to think first what to say.
American network operators the pricing and quality is ****ed up. But many believe it is a lesser evil than $ 10 per month.
Spotify will not stay online
Anyone else having trouble on the Transformer? My dell streak will work ok, but the transformer keeps dumping to offline even though wifi is fine and all other apps are staying connected.

Known bug in Spotify on Honeycomb. Solution is easy but harsh: never make playlists offline available.
As long as you stream everything - you're okay. If you make a playlist offline available, it'll sync the first time and after that it'll keep saying it's disconnected.
And it's definitely worth the 10 bucks, I've been paying it for months and months (in Europe) and it saved me a ****load of money or time. If I had to buy all the music I've listened from Spotify, I'd had to sell my TF to pay the bills. Maybe even twice...
If your musictaste is pretty "conservative", not always looking for new stuff and getting addicted to it - it might indeed not be worth the money.
It's totaly worth it to have a paid subscription, i pay for premium
I use spotify all the time (at home, party's, cell phone etc)
The majority of the music i listen to is on spotify and i don't listen to comecial radio music

Deleting my offline content worked. How long has this been a known issue? I hope it is on a priority fix list.
I can have local content offline though without the bug happening.

I still can't get it work. Every time I choose a song, I get an info bar with no info and an OK box to click. It reads my TF on my network, but it won't stream any music. I had no online playlists (I deleted everything just to make sure).
It works well on my PC--a lot of great music that seems to stream more quickly than Google Music.

MLB At Bat Tablet

One series left to play, and MLB finally releases a Honeycomb Tablet App. Looks good, and its free, at least for the World Series. I guess MLB is planning on making you buy the app twice if you want it on your phone and tablet.
Definitely looks nice. They're pretty clear that it's a "beta" too. I can't complain; we get a free nice-looking app for the WS and hopefully they'll get enough feedback to have a solid tablet app on day 1 of next season.
Not a fan of having to buy both; I use the phone app extensively. Not really feasible to use the tablet at all times.
Widget would be nice. Still keeping phone app on the tablet to get widget
Can you stream on it? If not, then it is still worthless.

Yes, and the streams look GREAT, unlike trying to stream the video from the mlb web page onto the transformer. Unfortunately, for the playoffs you can only get the individual cameras (dugout, behind home plate, etc...) and not the actual game broadcast video. But it does look really really good.
