New Hulu Bookmark App

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.hulu.bookmark/
Has anyone tested it yet?
I wonder if it actually plays video, or it's just browsing the site... The description is pretty bare.

Interesting...didn't they just re-block hulu on android yesterday? Since it clearly states that the developer isn't affiliated with hulu, I'd be very wary of dishing out money for something that will most likely get blocked by hulu.

Ok, so it seems to work, with a few caveats...no fullscreen?? High res takes you to the real hulu.com, which denies access based on platform.
As far as i can tell, this is the only way to successfully watch Hulu. Worth $1.50...until it gets blocked of course...

Wait, so all videos are playing? Or only a sub-set of Hulu's content?
If so, couldn't we just go to Hulu Mobile (somehow) via the browser and have it work? What URL does it take you to via the app?

I can confirm the videos do play, but this app is a mess...testing mobile site now, will report back

Use the app for more than 5 minutes then tell me its worth a penny. Need to go back to your homescreen? Good luck getting back to your video...The app opens a new instance of itself every time. No fullscreen? Tolerable. No way to exit the program? Ridiculous.
This dev doesnt deserve a dollar. Its just a cash grab. But Im sure the dev will appreciate suckers like you who think bookmarking a website qualifies as a paid app. What is it exactly that you are paying for? No thanks.
I encourage everyone with Froyo to try this out and report back here. Is it worth your money?

Sounds like it's certainly not worth it.
I'm just wondering, how are they doing this?
It must be just a website, minus the URL bar.
So what's that glorious URL that they're hiding?...

The truth is out there. Is there a way to monitor network traffic (urls) within the device? An app that will log all OS actions?

Not sure what app you're using i actually just responded to a text, googled something and just clicking on the app and it openend right where I left off. Whatever, just because I can get it to work and you can't doesn't mean you gotta get all pissy. and again let me remind you it's not even TWO DOLLARS HOLY CRAP!! that's less than a bottle of water at a baseball game.
I say it's worth it. But don't bother responding to me i wont be checking back.

good link, also you can use other browsers that allow hiding the task bar so you can get full screen. Skyfire works well for me.

Guys, please keep the flaming down. Also, no discussions about cracking or finding "workarounds" for paid apps are allowed in this site. That falls under the category of warez as well.
@FuzeAction, consider this a friendly warning.

To be fair, it looks like this "paid app" is nothing more than a browser without the address bar. That's not very honest.

I would have to agree that this is not a "work around". Its just going to a website that already exists. Thats like saying going to the facebook mobile site is a "work around" for Bloo.
BTW anyone who installed this app... is it still working or has hulu blocked it?

[Q] Best place to download .apk s youd normally have to buy?

Anybody know a good site to get pro or full version of apps without paying

That is called warez or more technically stealing from the developer who spent ther time and effort making the app and is very frowned upon on this site which coincidentally has a ton of developers.

Best sites for what you're looking for are THIS ONE and THIS ONE

wow... you sir are a douche - i hope someone steals from you... funny how thieves like you ***** about DRM

Wow... I don't see any problem with posting this, but for real... why the heck do you type like that? I'd rather not read another post of yours formatted in such a way. It's not clever, and it doesn't make you look smart.
I do have to say one thing though. Anyone can make a list of programs, to provide people with something useful however.. that is another task. You give no information about these programs, you give no reference to the authors of these programs, you give no information about where to legitimately acquire these programs.. I would also doubt that all of these vendors want you distributing their software without permissions, even if they are available for free.
If you want people to view your posting as helpful, you may want to reconsider your approach. Format your text in a helpful and organized method (it's not a headline, or a title to a book). Include helpful and concise information about the applications. Provide links (at the very least) to the webpages associated with the applications. etc.

Hold on.....all sarcasm aside, im really curious.
you posted a lot of things here, and the way your OP makes it sound is that these apps (or "Market Alternatives" as you call them), offer apps that you cannot get on the android market. Is this correct? Or are these, in fact, just another place to get the same apps that are on the Android Market??

Let's ask this different; Have you tried some of the alternative markets? And did you stick to anyone of them?
I totally agree there are a lot of things that could be improved in the stock market, but I'm not going to try all the versions you've posted Can we cross some of the list?

[Q] Can some one please help me make an app?

Here is the app I have but would like something better.
zombiesaresexy.com/Zombie_Android_App/App_1/zombiesaresexy.apk
So I started a site called zombiesaresexy.com and have wanted an app for it from day one.
The site is built on Wordpress and I just want a simple app that pulls in the RSS feeds and allows people to read the full post from the app.
I have tried App Inventor for Android but have no luck making heads or tails of it.
If anyone would want to help out (make it and share with me how its done) or just has a good framework for something like this that would be great.
Really, I have seen a lot of people wanting there own App this just pulls in the RSS from there site so I am amazed there is not a framework so people can just plug and play.
But any help would be great!
Thanks!

Ok, is there anyone that would build on for money?
I don't mind paying for it and would nit mind having adds in the app so your could make money that way to.
Send me a pm if you want the job and give me a price.

There's already tons of apps that can do this, try one of these.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/pulse-news-reader/com.alphonso.pulse

Yeah but I am wanting this app to hand out on my site.

How much you willing to pay?

I dont know the time it would take to do this app.
But if its not to hard I will pay $50
If it is something that will take a lot of time and work We can work on the price.
Also to help me keep the cost down I am willing to have the google ads on it. in hopes that who ever makes the app can make a few bucks that way.

Id be glad to help you for free, XDA isn't about paying for service, its about sharing knowledge and helping users

That would be really cool!!
If you check out the .apk I have linked to, I am ok with it being simple as that.
The only things I rally care about is that it has an icon, the app I have now just uses a slandered android icon
And it reading the full post from the app and linking to the post if they want to comment.
There are a few parts to the site.
Main post
stories
video
questions
But all get pulled in with the rss feed
http://zombiesaresexy.com/feed/
So I am not sure if it is just as easy as pulling in the feeds?
Also, I hope to get this on the Android market but it is just something I want to hand out to readers.

If you want to hire a developer to do it, you're probably looking at $1000 or more in the end. $50 doesn't really cut it.

Yeah I got a few quotes and the range was from $700 to $900.
Not really the money I want to spend just for having fun on a site so I thought I would ask here.
If I dont get any where with it I am ok with that and will looking it to making an app on my own latter down the road when I have time to learn what it takes.
But as you can see someone has offered to make me app. So I am happy with that and even tho he said he did not want money for it I will donate something thing.

is it possible that the entire windows phone cummunity could work together in making some sort of "Jailbreak App store" where all the homebrew apps could be in one place and would make it alot easier for the all of us?

I like the idea

Not sure how well an app store that fills up with hacked apps would work... (hacked being paid apps stolen and hacked to be side loaded)Wouldn't be promoted on here at least I wouldn't think. Now of it was just free apps, that might work but why wouldn't they just submit it to the actual app store.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

That's cool but at this moment there's no usable/reliable jailbreak to begin with, and next to zero deep tweaking options.

Such an app would be violating xda forum rules

Read the OP.
He is looking for a place for Homebrew apps only, not pirated.
Something like Cydia I guess.
And the question of why not post them in the Marketplace is kind of silly, the answer is obvious: because they are Homebrew and probably going to take advantage of the phone hardware or OS in a way that Microsoft would not allow in the Marketplace.
I think it's a great idea.

This is a GREAT idea.
Not all developers want to pay USD99, go thru such a painful process that verified by GeoTrust (which I don't trust them ) or for the developers in the region where the marketplace is not supported to submit their homebrew apps.
Of course, to archive it; the first priority is, our phone MUST be unlock, which it is "possible" for those who came from 1st Generation of WP.
The new comer with their handset pre-install with Mango, I believe still have some long way to go before it get the unlock. Unless the promised Cheveron UnLock is available and No limit for side loading apps.
Lastly, I truly which to see such an alternative marketplace is soon be in service!

You know how there is cydia and all ios users need is to upload cydia on their device and they have access to all the homebrew apps. I like the wp alot nore then ios and i dont think that all of these homebrew apps could get accepted to the marketplace when some of them could change things that microsoft doesnt want touched.

Ya... you are absolutely right! Our phone all have the volume button and the unlock button, we just need to wait for the right guy to come out the rite apps.
That's 1 more thing even GREAT is... our phone have a "CAMERA" button, we can use it while we are waiting.
PM me if in anyway I can help up in setting/planning for this alternative marketplace.

This was being worked on, was it not?
But it was in the form of a PC application. I cant find the thread.. somebody help me out here
I think we could use DFT's method of on-device XAP deploying and use that as a start point, together with the Repo's that this application used?
