Hey guys, I was wondering if there was such like app?
I know the IPAD has a really cool outer space/ NASA/ Galaxy Science like app...
I cant remember the name of it, but it was on the first generation IPAD commercials when they first came out.
I was wondering if there is anything similar to the Android/ HC Platform? I would think so at least...
Thanks !!
Google sky is the perfect App to start with, but there are Tons of space related apps in the market

This is a image archive app:

And a Hubble image app:

This only touches the surface, but hope these help somewhat.

Are you talking about Google Sky Map? There's also the APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day) app that's made by NASA. I think Google Sky Map is the one you're looking for, but , it doesn't have lots of info but it is cool to play with.
AWW Damnit lol buzzboy beat me to the punch!
Google skymap is cool, but the graphics arent all that good on my tablet....
The one on the Ipad looks so sick. Oh well

First of all I hope this is in the right section.
I was hoping to find some awesome music/rythym games later in the Android Market.
Well, it's been about over a year since Android was released, and I still see a lack of good rythym games!
My request is for a developer to try their best and create a well-designed music game, hopefully using our own music from the SD card..
That would be awesome!
Do you mean like this?

Id like to see multitouch implemented somewhere in one of these games ...

No, I know this is on the market, but we need something better.
Guitar Hero mobile for Android wasn't exactly the best experience I've had.
I have been asking for this game to come to Android since I got my G1. Mainly looking for the NIN Edition!
http://tapulous.com/
Even sent them a request, but so far nothing has come of it. I recommend everybody request it, If there is enough support they might port it.

Can't post links yet, but this is the original thread starting from last year, stating that if theres enough demand, they'll try to port it.
some of you may have played it before but this is a steam game called Audiosurf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTZTPdDW7PM
a game like this would be awesome on the nexus... basically it produces a unique track based off of each song for that song and its a sort of tetris game where you have to match the blocks up and such... was well worth 10 dollars on steam when it first dropped, i had countless hours of obsessed fun on the thing

That's a very good game, but it needs to ne refined more. But we REALLY need a game like TTR or Audiosurf, I have nothing against taps of fire, but I don't like playing on amazing. Too much for my thumbs.
Here is the link for tap tap revenge:

Everybody should request it so we can get it ported.
In the mean time, I found this:
http://code.google.com/p/tapsoffire/
Somebody mentioned it in this thread already, but I searched the market for it, but it didn't appear. It probably wasn't designed for the Nexus so it didn't show up, but there is a Droid version available from the Google code page. Free and open source!
One of the best music games is Taps of Fire. I have it installed, I recommend others to download this app too, only bad thing is having to hit the notes a little early, but its fine.
I know the level of app right now on android is often barely above "Ifart", but if one of you guys could take a moment and write an app like Xenotracker it would be just plain awesome.
Me and my friends are often reffering to that movie and to AVP games. Such an App would just be a cool thing to get.
Besides myself, I know at least 3 people who would totally buy the app.. so I guess there are more than that...
Cheers
Aeonys
anyone? someone should know how to that.. ?
Hey been getting irked abit that the windows marketplace sucks.. I know EA has games on their site one can download.. however.. if you noticed lets take Need for speed games. WM version looks o.0 crap. While Iphone and hell Droid versions of the game are \o/ and fun with motion control.
Now Im sure the HD2 has some good things too.. but where are they hiding? Anyone know? Or is this online game world turning into iphone droid only (For the best gameplay stuff)
Quite like Asphalt 4d - motion control is a feature but I turned it off. Xtract (free) is good too with nice graphics. If you want really good HD style games though on the HD2 get the playstation emulator and you'll never look back (and other phone owners will be very jealous). There's a free version but it's worth getting the supporter version as it makes it a lot easier to control the games. Search "tekken 3 on hd2" on youtube and you'll get the idea.

So the supported version plays better on HD2? I tried the regular one before.. didnt get anywhere with it.. Now before I do get it... is it enjoyable WITHOUT Cobolt ps3 controller software?
I guess im more annoyed that the only reason I like my iphone 2g.. is just for its games.. has some nice ones, even my G1 has nice ones, then I have my HD2.. and all I can say is "My Puzzle Quest is fun.." >.> Yea.. heh.
totally agree that there aren't that much quality games for hd2, but you might give a go to:
Electopia
Experiment 13
OddBlob
Platypus
Catcha Mouse
Police Range
Super Boxing
Tiki Towers
Droplets
These are really good games and I would say that their quality even matches the ones made for an iphone.

You're right. The game selection sucks. Lots of the developers are saying it's just too hard to develop a nice graphics game for Windows Mobile. While some like Xtrakt or Project 13 are ok, they aren't fully supported. They require little work arounds that I just feel makes the games not live up to the "fully supported" title. They just work. Then there are some that are just sprites cut into different poses like the ones Zarpy makes. They aren't bad but not the high def like you're asking for. So far, yeah the PSX emulator will be your best bet. It's pretty much the only one worth having and paying for in my opinion.
there are abunch of games just have to look.

Pls stop posting Warez links....
There are plenty of games out there but we dont need Warez links round here.....
If you want a list of what games are available try here
Or here is another one I found
There are tons of these threads about... Just Google it..
Plebs posting Warez is getting worse these days.....
Here's anther thread I want closed out...
Do you want XDA to loose its credibility and get shut down?
You want something? Go and pay for it like the rest of us!
Eroc, one can search sure, but you got any links to what your posting? Now that blogspot had some good apps I needed. Like the Jspa program manager.
Snowblind what are you on?? Who is asking for Warez?! Im asking what games are good that are in higher quality. Marketplace sucks for finding anything decent, even going to EAs website doesnt give you much. Yet the HD2 came with some "HD" versions of games. yet you cant find them.
Now forum posts I know there is a "Apps thread" and so, however its not like its linking "Hey here is EA, Gameloft, website for HD2 games" or so.
So again, so far no warez links are on this thread, nor was it being asked for. Im just getting annoyed that Android phones of the same thing for HTC are getting better games then Windows mobile is.
Hey all
I'm thinking of buying this really nice tablet. But of course, it needs to be properly justified with the powers-that-be (The Wife).
Anyway I'd really like to use it with my almost 3-yo son but I'm not sure if there are *good* apps for kids. Entertaining apps but also some that could be educational. I don't want a simple doodling app, but something engaging and interactive.
The iPad has tons of these, I know. But want to know how large is the market for these apps on Android?
Thanks!
I've only played with Kid Mode and its pretty good but taking a quick look at the market there is a lot out there. Would need someone who actually has children and use them to give a verdit tho.
Oceanhouse Media have done a lot of Dr. Seuss learning apps but they are paid apps.
I don't mind payed, as long as they're good. Dr Seuss's stuff sounds interesting, though I'm from Latin America and his work (if he even is a person, I don't know) is really little known...
Like you said, I'd love to hear from people with little kids on their experiences. Mind you I'm looking for something more than "something to keep him off my back" if you know what I mean
I recommend to buy the stuffed animals and play together outside, because it develops more. If you like some things it does not necessarily been good for your child.
Good advice. Although stuffed animals dont do very well in the outdoors
But some interactivity for when indoors is always welcome.
... Iwas looking for some good apps for kids, but almost no luck.
My 2,5 yr old boy likes machines - cars, trains, wheels of all kind etc.
Unfortunatelly almost everything I found for kids for android is animal oriented - all sort of boring human like fluffy animals.
So my boy stick with watching tunes on youtube, drawing with Drawing Pad (paid) and coloring with Zebra Paint. Everything else - no interest.
Also love to watch someone playing Angry Birds...
Didn't tried Dr.Zeuss - he doesn't speak english (yet...
I'm really missing what I've seen on iPad
Anyway I will appreciate if someone finds something for kids of this age (2-4) and will report if I find something.
Monkey Preschool Lunchbox
I have a 1 1/2 year old and he loves this game. He doesn't get how to do all the games yet so I help him a lot or he uses my hand to complete the puzzles. It was offered on Amazon for free one day, so I grabbed it. I play it on my rooted NookColor with my little one. My TF is on the way and I'm sure it will do much better on there.

This one looks pretty nice. Downloading to phone now to check it out.
you might not of thought about it but why not angry birds. Bright colors birds what could go wrong

I have to second monkey lunchbox. I also picked it up from the free amazon offer but it's well worth paying for. I have a 2 and 1/2 year old that loves it. It covers pretty much the whole preschoolers curriculum.

Actually tried angrybirds but my kid didn't like that because "the birds are breaking the little pig's house"
Tried the monkey's lunchbox and he loves it. Looking for other options too.

I have a 4 year old niece and I put kid mode app on my tf. It is very good and also educational. It has popular chracters like dora and othr nick jr stuff so that was nice. Also u get emails that show how much time ur child spends on each subjects and can track and see what ur child does.

Hi people,
here's a new game by Glu-Mobile. It is a kind of postapocalyptic fighting game. Must say that on my Play it runs good and no lags til now.
The game is not optimized for our Play maybe in a future update idk( but since its glu theres no big hope).
Bigger hope is for the new coming gamekeyboard update(touchpads) because with actuall one i could only optimize for 50%. But even without opt. I find it is really cool with great grafiks and damn cool looking mutants. Just try and enjoy!
ATTENTION! On Playstore it says incompatible but the game is for free and i downloaded it from any site from the net( can't remember which) but google is your friend
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glu.ddome
It's nice, but this type of games making me boring after 2-3 days of playing....I don't know what people see in Infinity Blade-like games .
Looks scary but boring
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Really? To me it looked like it was trying to rip off Borderlands which if so could be pretty cool. If it is a stupid Infinity Blade clone then **** that noise; oh and as to what people see in those games: graphics. That is all
Of course but for to play from time to time it is ok.
How could you say that, did you play it or what, i mean try before post anything you got no plan about.
Sorry, I forgot to put a big "This is my opinion" banner in front of my post that time.
