Don't need to be logged in on google talk......Just need to have your google.mail attached to the market on your device (Which you do when you activate the market for the first time)!
Works awesome, I have been playing with it for about an hour now.

The point of it is to install apps from your computer. Going to the site on your phone kind of defeats the purpose of it, especially when you already have a thing call the Market app on the phone.

Its not designed for mobile browsers..........
the market is supposed to be used on your mobile.
The purpose of the web based site is so you can install apps without even touching your phone, from your PC.

But you have to have your phone to run the app....doesn't that mean you have to touch it? And so, why not download from the Market app?

You don't have to have your phone. The website pushes the app to your phone and your phone installs it automatically for you, there is no manual install on the phone to be done. You don't have to touch the phone at all. it just has to be on!
Try it.

It makes searching for apps easier
It also makes reinstalling all those apps easier after you get your replacement phone from the random shutdown issue or after updating to a custom 2.2 rom.
MUCH easier.

ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.
There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.
just downloading now will update on what its like
that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand
Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.
yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.
setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me
Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.
thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

good job, makes it easer
I didn't find the directions too difficult to follow...though they didn't really make it very clear that the apk needs to be registered first.
However, even though I register the app on my phone with my email address, my computer still says unregistered. Any ideas? I'm using google apps with a custom domain. It took my login, it just said it was unregistered...
Good guide EkostonS. I got it working. But uhm what's the purpose for this chrome-phone extension? It just opens up the link on the phone? Perhaps I am missing the bigger picture, haha.

Does anyone know if there is any software out there
that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.
There is a great software package out there made by
http://www.soti.net/
but they do not have software available for Android.
This would be for use with the new evo
Any ideas?

You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app

I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.
Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?
Thanks
*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.
I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.

that was a nice little app that i miss now that you mentioned it
webkey (root required) for control over phone
lazydroid & remote web desktop for sending SMS from computer and a few other features
they can be found in the market
I use Remote Web Desktop for SMS, which is the main reason I used MyMobiler to control my WinMo phone, but I still have to go on my phone to mark the messages read and to read them because there is a delay from when I get the message on my phone and when it shows up in Remote Desktop.
It would be really nice is there was a way to operate unrooted phones...

how to enable true multitasking in wp7...
as multitasking is the most essential feature of a smart phone.
I have tried the instant resume tweak but it's still useless.
whai I want is the real multitasking as in Symbian.
there is a donotkill app list in wp7 registry but can't get it to work.
so any help regarding multitasking is most welcomed....
If you explain what you need multi tasking it would be easier to help understand why background tasking is inadequate for you.

What exactly do you plan or intend to do? That kind of functionality is available to developers through the Background Transfer APIs. On a Windows Phone, downloading in the background (or uploading) is not very useful for most Apps. Some scenarios where it could be are Apps like Dropbox, Skydrive, Nokia Drive (offline maps and voices downloading), for example.
well you all are not understanding so let me explain using example.
what want----
suppose ucweb is open and I am downloading a 200mb file what ever extension maybe.
when download is started after some time a message comes up power saving while downloading.
and it blocks the lockscreen to come up until download is completes.
but I in meanwhile if I minimize ucweb and open other app or simply lock the screen the download is paused,
this is what I don't want.I want the download to continue even I switch app or lock the screen.
the only app I have seen who's does it is while downloading any app from marketplace...as it continues even I switch to other app or lock the screen
so I explained it in detail.now suggest me any homebrew apps or any process to do that.
I am still pretty sure this can be done. But I do not know of any app that does it simply because there is no need for it.
And even if you did download the file, the only way you can take it out is uploading it to skydrive or some other cloud storage from the app that downloaded it.
And I still see why on earth would you want to download a 200 MB file on a phone.

Exactly, remember that like it happens with iOS in Windows Phone there's no way to store files and retrieve them easily. Every app is encapsulated and cannot access other apps files.
So for example, if you download a 200mb movie it will only be available through the app and not through Zune, and probably only while the app is open.
But hey, sounds interesting. Maybe I'll write one.

why is 200mb to biggg. and please name the app you are taking about.And don't worry about the taking it out by SkyDrive or any other cloud storage as I don't need to upload in order to get files out of wp7.5. I can take files downloaded by any app in my phone with help of PC data cable. i only want the solution of the background downloading.
