So i'm actually an mma fighter/competitor with a passion for the sport in general (blue belt BJJ and 2 time NAGA tournament 1st place). I love watching mma fights from UFC,Strikeforce,Dream,AFFLICTION ..etc. What i do is download videos from youtube or wherever and watch em on my phone while commuting to work. I always wanted a MMA app that shows moves or tutorials, fights those kinda things..... yesterday i received word that 3-4 apps just came out for the iphone that do exactly that (one of my sparring partners has the apps and a iphone) they show you moves tutorials etc, crystal clear videos and audio and not no half A$$ instructors either. these apps really are amazing and i havent seen anything on the dream/G1 to compare. while they arent fights they're still 1 step ahead....
Strike 1 was MG solid for the iphone = the game is tight
Strike 2 MMA apps for the iphone = these apps are a must have for me
i hope there isnt a strike 3
I still am kinda pissed...to be honest
wow
One thing u have to realize is Android and the g1 r a year younger than the g1. So what if the market doesn't have mma apps, I have been asking for a Danny blacklist app since I got the phone. No one made it but I didn't care. I like Android becuase it is open source witch if u haven't noticed it allowed the devs to cook us up tasty time and themes. So I guess if Ur unsatisfied becuase of a few apps that aren't avalible on the g1 then wth get an iPhone. I hope you enjoy being Steve Jobs' tool!

You might of missed a few pointers but comment is appreciated i guess. I'm not hating the g1 at all bro it just one upped the g1 on one of my PASSIONS in LIFE not just because of a app.
Plus all i need is to trade my dash for an ipod touch
Contact the Dev and ask him if hes remotely interested in porting it to the G1. Couldn't hurt to try.

i was thinking of that - your right cant hurt to try
There's a lot more money in the iphone app market than the G1. The way I see it I would rather have apps and work from devs that want to better the community rather than dev that are only in it for a profet. Open source FTW.
By the way I have been bugging dynolicious devs to port to android to no avail. Just wait till the android market share is up a little more and we might start seeing ports to the platform. Remember Androids just a baby.
o ok...

i should apologize for my tone. i kinda came off as a douche nozzle its just when i hear people raving about the iphone it grinds the hell outta my gears. the way i see it, they r like children, they dont think for themselves. they only think what apple and jobs wants them to. i dont understand how anyone can like a fone that in its thrid generation finally received the ability to record video and sent mms. i just dont understand
Porting from C to Java isn't that huge of a jump.
Make contact with the developer, and maybe see about paying his barrier to entry ($25).
I'm sure if he isn't already developing in the android market, he wouldn't mind seeing how it goes. ; )
Wait before you get an iPhone please ask your self... Are you going to jailbreak it? If yes please don't as you are now a risk to the national security. Seeing how you have a rooted G1(guessing) you are not a threat thus i believe like was said before devs are now going to now more then ever make apps for Android seeing how its more open and Dev happy.
i say that you get an itouch! i have an itouch so i can keep up with apple applications and mods.. But i'd rather have a g1 because it seems like everything is customizable and its fun learning about themes and flashing roms

If you want access to the iPhone's currently deeper library, then get an iPhone. Not really hard to come to that simple conclusion. Hopefully this thread will be locked soon.

Whats that all about??
I checked the first 3 pages of the forums and didn't see this posted.
Here are some upcoming home replacements for Android. One name that should be familiar to us old WinMo users and a "newcomer."
http://www.tat.se/home/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pre...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html
they both look pretty cool but I think tathome looks like it might be a little more to my liking.
SPB isnt out yet, is tathome available yet, i didnt see a download.
+1 for TAT home it looks like it could be NICE I checked out the video (good music and all ;-)) here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/tat-home-the-gesture-powered-3d-home-screen-your-android-device/
I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.x with my Touch Pro and I wasn't too impressed.
*** EDIT ***
Here is a video of Mobile Shell http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/mwc-video-spb-mobile-shell-50-on-android IMO Mobile Shell is suffering from what it always has LAG!!!!! Even on the N1 it looked slow, maybe because it's BETA.

Hrm, TatHome looks like what I envisioned Android 'should be' , I'm liking the look it quite a bit!! Next: to find out whether it really runs that smoothly on my Hero. 3d and graphics are great, but if it slows my phone down in the slightest its automatically going to get turned off.

cant imagine that it would slow it down anymore than sense but time will tell
muahaha, smooth as an iph*ne, and yet still kicking the pants off of it in terms of functionality = complete win for Android.
See, this is why Android is better, and why most everyone here bought an Android phone Since mostly everyone here probably signed up for that preview, the first person that gets the .apk for this, can you please post it up here incase they delay the preview to some people?

+1 on this but at the same time this is why some dont want to develop for android
Why would it make them not want to develop for it? Because some devices have different specs? I'm just curious.

Yes there are a lot of different spec'd Android phones out there but I think he is referencing the fact that Android apps are easier to "warez" than the apps on other OS's. All you have to do is sign up for the paid app extract the .apk post it somewhere. Also any dev can try to "reverse engineer" the app, change a few components and BAM it's on the Market as their "original" creation. Just my .2 cents

that is correct. when swype was first leaked I was actually talking to them about the bennifits of releasing it through the market instead of through manufacturers and one of the biggest concerns that was brought up was the fact that security for apps is too lax. now dont get me wrong everyone knows that for every security mesure there is always a way around it but android security just sucks thats why for the most part people afften have a free version and a donate version. if people can try it and like it then they are more likely to buy it rather than just pirate it. setcpu is a perfect example of this. sure the dev could have made it a protected app (but being a member here at xda he probably knew it was pointless) but he offers it free here and then if you like you can buy from the market to donate to help keep him developing.
so basically all im saying is...ok we all (me included) have pirated apps but if you like the app make sure to go buy it from the market and help keep these people developing for us.
I know I went off on a rant there but without intrest in app development this great platform will fail.
I might be the only here without pirated apps then haha. I did have CoPilot once, but I didn't like it much so I got rid of it. The only time I ever use something pirated is to try it. If I like it and feel the developer should get credit, then fine, I'll donate/buy it.

same here the only thing I am using pirated right now is swype but thats only becuase there is no way to buy it. but thats also because im a cheap ass and maily use free apps unless I really find something useful but to date the only things that I have bought are setcpu and beautiful widgets. im trying cachemate now but it really doesnt seem to be very helpful. I wish I knew a little more about programing there is an app for the iphone that I would love to have on my hero.
i played around with "pandahome" some yesterday. it seems beta right now but they are apparently coming out with pandahome2 soon. it's a good idea, just not quite finished yet. (fc's and whatnot)
anyway you might go check it out (if your feeling froggy).
lots of options and skins ect.ect.ect.
marketplace. free.
Just as the article mentions, its like the echo, now i personally dont like it as a phone but a tablet...idk tbh now the whole concept really looks like a 3ds lol, you guys think this thing will sell? What will be the major selling factor? hardware? bootloader? updates?
http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-unveils-s1-and-s2-dual-screen-android-tablets
Maybe if the echo wasn't so God damn ugly and had better hardware.. people would buy it
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.

In before this thread derails.
Honestly right now the iPad looks more appealing than any Android OS tablet. I think Android needs to work on polishing Android for tablets a bit more.
That Sony dual screen is just atrocious.

Just report the thread at the top right hand corner to see it go away. I feel like I shouldn't visit Android Central on a daily basis because I can find all the articles on the XDA Evo section.
I don't doubt that this dual screen idea could be more of a future norm, so long as it is done right. Have gotten some hands on time with the Echo and while you sort of get the idea, it just really seems tacky. At least I came away from the Echo with that feeling. I'm more interested in dual screen displays than 3D as well.
So long as it's done right, all around.

Based on your logic common citizens shouldn't try to stop little old ladies from getting mugged, unless they are police officers. Your logic shows a small picture view.

If they'd build this so that there's a flush (seemless) connection between the screens I'd seriously consider these ....as it is their just.... stupid.
Keep the thread on subject. I am moving it to General as it does not belong in the EVO section.
The concept is nice, however I just cant get over the gap in the middle between the two screens, it really ruins the experience for me. Now if they do it RIGHT and allow true multitasking between each window this will be a good competitor; the screens are 5.5 inches so that's just big enough to allow full featured browsing/operation on each screen.
Title says it all!

the point is Android is open source while WP is not
Yes thank you I understand that. Winmo 6 and earlier were not open source either. It didn't keep people from doing all kinds of amazing stuff with it. I know that as of now there's no real way for people to get wp7 onto android phones but it doesnt mean it won't or can't ever happen. Personally, I don't really care as I think it kinda blows anyways but I'm all for people hacking whoppers into McD's restaurants.

Thanks for posting that link, very in-depth article
Excellent find! A very enlightening read if you have the time!
Felt like Google should have taken ICS as an opportunity to redo the framework as a reset button for all their devices. Makes me wonder when they will actually fix the problem since ICS going forward should be the main platform for both phones and tablets running Android. Maybe another overhaul when 5.0 hits?

I'm sure they would love to do this but they have to keep app compatibility in mind...
I wonder if that actually helps android as faster processors are developed, at least with the thread priority part of it. As phones start to become more like PCs, could you imagine all of your background processes pause because you moved your mouse or touched the screen?

As the post and the comments says, Google is trying to work on this with every release...there is a rumor of major overhaul with Android 5.0....if not then some other changes based on the multi core processors and work around.....if Samsung can do it in GS2...i am sure Google can do too for all phones..

I don't think they necessarily have to have app compatibility. If they made ICS with new framework they could have just released it to devs first during development and given them ample lead time to parallel develop before launching. I feel like this would be a better scenario than just launching it or not even fixing it.

I think that backwards compatibility or legacy support is paramount. I don't know how hard it will be to integrate, but I feel that it is needed.
Love the OS, but I agree with others that the lag is disgusting as is the need to buy a new phone to hopefully get it fixed...

Good article. I agree that in creating such an open platform Google did kind of cripple itself in terms of maintaining a smooth experience across all devices. However I don't think I'd trade the openness of Android and such a great development community for the single user experience that Apple dictates over a little lag.

on top of that, if you read all the comments on the G+ past in OP...Samsung did a very good job in overcoming the lag in SG2...from the comment what I got was that Tegra's are not really good processors for Android...and Samsung own processors works best.....
As phones gets closer like a computer android has advantage over iOS , because it is closer to what phones will be in future.... if this makes sence
