seems so expensive though... 300 bucks
Yea it is, I have the older non HD version which you can probably find on ebay for $150. I didnt buy it with the intention of using it on my phone, that was an added bonus. I travel alot and am a huge jets fan. with the slingbox i could watch the games where ever i was, and the only other option was NFL sunday ticket from direct TV - which i think is like $299 so it made sense getting one

makes sense I guess. The HD one really provides a good HDstream? I was wondering if you could record shows with that thing as well?
I dont know too much about the HD one, the regular one works just fine for me - i have a 47 inch 1080p HD tv that i hook it up too from my computer when im not home - gratned the quality itsnt the best but its more then watchable (expecially for streaming media blown up that big) . . . upsteam connections from my house are around 800k, and it uses all that is available which is stable for the most part.
I think i saw somewhere on the website something about a Hard drive and DVR functionality.
looks like there is some 3rd party software that lets you record from it.

Yea I agree skyfire is nice try but not really a feasible thing... especially probably not for VGA devices... Damn ADOBE GET WITH IT...
If Playon transcodes the stream based on pipe size or media renderer, you could easily get uPNP working by setting up a VPN. I haven't heard of many other media servers that will do netflix (at least not stable).

Decent gaming on a full touch screen?

Hi All,
I just recently brought a HTC Topaz. And I love my phone, but I can't seem to find any decent games around?
Its a full touch screen with 4 tiny little button, which don't serve well as a game pad at all.
Are there any decent games for the Topaz specifically?
<My apologies if this phone has been discussed, game wise! I did search>

Loads of games!
Warcraft, Caver, NFS, Simpsons etc etc...
Enjoy
My Apologies, I think I didn't make myself clear

I know there are loads of games\links especially on this sight. I have noticed that the majority don't work very well with a touch pad!...
I'm looking for great touch pad related games....

I have installed several that thread on my Topaz/Diamond2, and I love them...
A few of them I play with the stylus, like Warcraft and such, but the rest that I have installed works well with the touch screen or the acceloromoter...
Download a couple, and check them out for yourself

[Android] Droid Anime 2 - Watch Anime

We have updated Droid Anime. Droid Anime is an application that streams anime videos to your android phone.
You can download the latest version here
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droid.animev2
If you want more anime like Naruto, Bleach, please consider buying our Pro version from our website
http://droidanime.com/Pro
We are currently testing the app before re-releasing it in the market. Would love to have your feedback.
The videos do not work on Low Res devices
Decent app and decent video quality.
It would be nice if you put up currently airing shows and just generally more shows, because 18-19 shows - which I've already seen most of - just doesn't cut it.
Nexus S i9023
Thanks. Can I have your android device model?
We just started adding yesterday. We'll be adding all over this month and the next. If it's not too much trouble, can you tell me a list of Anime we should add?
We're adding Naruto and Bleach now. Taking too long due to the large number of episodes that we have to upload and make compatible with the app.
Ive been searching an app like this for weeks. I'll try it later.
Suggestions:
How about offline watching?

You mean downloading Anime from the app and watch it later? We were planning to add that feature. But, since it'd put a heavy load on our servers once everyone starts downloading, we thought we'd leave that feature for the next version by which time hopefully we'll have more servers.
IF you meant watching anime from the app when there is no internet connection, that won't be possible since the app size would exceed Gigabytes. No one would download it.
Would be cool if you post here if the app works on your device.
Thanks
I have no comment

Yes, exactly like that. That would be awesome! Anyways it is working on my X8 running MiniCM7.
I don't know why but when I tried to play High School of the Dead episode 13. It says something like I can't play it. I'm using Mx Video Player for playing.

nice app , working on my samsung galaxy s , btw
it would be good if you can add another languages apart of english like for example spanish x.x
Let me ask one obvious question before even trying this: are they dubs or subs?
Because dubs suck and I will only watch subs.

Works great on my droidx2 even tho it doesn't show my device to be supported.

Nice! Thank you for this. Works great on Sensation.
Thanks for testing it out guys.
@Orbiting234, Negrobembon
We're mostly concentrating on Subs. Except for maybe DBZ/GT and Pokemon since these two Anime were enjoyed by everyone in English Dub.
@Wolfteam20
Once we finish adding anime, we'll release the app in other languages.
@Zephiel
Thanks for finding that. We found that there is no HSOD episode 13 and we linked it by mistake.
@MasterFace
We'll be adding anime series with titles from now on. Yes, we did notice that the tap highlight is not quite right in the Anime index, but we're not able to find out why.
Thanks
Works great here. Only bummer is the small GUI.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks for this. Working great on my droid charge.
Suggestion: More shows, obviously. Maybe a poster of the show, and then the episode list. I think that would look awesome, and would make the app distinctive from other streaming apps. Maybe take the approach that EZ Stream TV took, that app is awesome.
Looks nice so far
Even though I've already seen them, I recommend you to add Nichijou and Cromartie Highschool. Both because they are fun and is still enjoyable on a small screen.
And maybe a design upgrade - especially the icon - would be in it's place.
If I have more, I'll just use your site.
Works on Samsung Fascinate 2.3.5.
As many times I have seen it, Evangelion should be added.
where is the link for download ?
thanks

Works Really well. Nice find bookmarking your page!
Been waiting for this! Excited to check it out this evening
Gotta get some Earthbound action on the Surface!
yay... MS approves a game emulator, prepare to see more game emulator on stores.
Now this is a must have!
Installed this last night and was very pleased. It could use a few more settings (such as being able to adjust filters for the video) but it's a great step forward since it's designed for touchscreen use!
thx
thank you for This really good app.
But, no support of the gamepad input ?
I tryed with my saitek gamepad (drivers are ok) but nothing append
I hope you Will add This feature in the futur version.

I've just done a video on this which might answer some questions and at least illustrate it to you.
Awesome app. Seems kinda lagggy sometimes. Although I'm not sure that's the best word to describe it. The sound is weird sometimes too...but awesome app nonetheless
thk you !

Great to have this app to play my old ROMs. I am using the AfterGlow AX1 x360 wired controller and it works great. The controller auto installed.

[Q] Just ordered it, so any advice

I just ordered my shield and really looking forward to using it. hopefully it arrives as quickly as amazon promised*touch wood*
honestly i got it mainly for game emulation like a lot of others. so i just wanna ask anything in particular i should be on the watch for like
during set up,
programs you'd recommend
which emulators to use
are roms easy to get on to it
do certain games or systems not work
or just general things i need to watch out for
thanks in advance

Alot of people complain of emulator slowdowns when using the newest system software. However i havent experienced any. I use snes9x for snes games, haves used it since the psp and on windows as well. Drastic for ds emulation, kinda spendy but it works really well too and worth the money. Espxe for ps1 emulation. Thats all about all i use. I bought a mini hdmi and ps3 controller for when i use it on my bigscreen and its awesome. Game streaming is also awesome. Playing watch dogs on the shield is pretty sweet haha. Roms are straight forward copy and Paste to the shield when its hooked up to pc via usb. Or u can pull the sd card and put it in a usb reader. Transferring via wifi is pretty easy as well. Half life 2 and portal are worth the money even though i have both already i bought them again [emoji1] everything is pretty straight forward and easy. Dont know if you plan on rooting it but thats pretty easy too. Any more questions ppst away
If mainly emulation, no real point in updating. I have all my roms on the sd card. Saves for emulators do not work if on the card with kitkat. Best to stay away from kitkat IMO if just emulators and Android games.
cheers guys, managed to get everything working except mame4all. cant seem to find the roms folder
