Thanks for the reviews

Cool. Can you add prices too?
I downloaded Dolca HD and I noticed a few more quirks.
- No menu... no setting, nada! Which basically means no option to hide offline friends, or to group contacts etc.
- Hitting enter without typing anything will give you a blank line.

It may be that I am just a noob to Android but it would be a nice touch to add a link to the site where you can get these applications. For most of them a simple name search works well but "Notes" is way to common to make sure I am picking the one you meant considering the author/developer is not mentioned either.
Thanks for making this information available I look forward to checking in next week.

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I actually include links to each app....on my blog tho. Perhaps its an incentive to just check out my site ;-) I will do my best to include prices but for now, all these are FREE!!!

web developer here. I love what you've done with the website. looks really slick! keep up the great work! hope it catches up soon!

I've been looking for some sort of honeycomb IM program... unfortunately dolca appears to not even have a settings menu! Ill be keeping an eye on it though thanks for this post!

And yes.. your site looks really nice! Bookmarked it.. I definitely want to have a good place to stay updated on good honeycomb apps given the fact that the Android market sucks and doesn't let you search for true honeycomb apps

Thank you! I agree the market sucks. Its hard finding apps but I'm digging deep!

Next release I will remove ads, make it opensource and add menu with some basic options. The discussions like this is hard to find usually, if you need features or have suggestions feel free to write to my e-mail specified on the market app's page.

Asus Transformer Honeycomb Apps Of The Week 2
Hi guys. It's another week and so I have another handful of apps to share with you. You can check out my previous "apps of the week" here. Because this forum doesn't display the app brain widgets correctly (which displays the price) I decided to just link to my article. Let me know what you guys think of the games and of course, if you have an app recommendation then let me know. Enjoy!

Slingbox need specific hardware to work and the app slingplayer cost 21€ on android market.
Tv shows stream lite is free, the full version costs 4.99$ and no special hardware is needed. I whould say its a better deal. Just my opinion.
regards
Fast forwar and Rewing should be working now fine on FROGMOVZ video links.
If any trouble, pause the video before FF or RW.
Please, report if any issue; you can find a support email inside the aplication, in the FAQs section.

Yes, it works outside of the US. If a video is missing it means it got removed from the site it was hosted, try a different one. Also sometimes certain sites have the wrong episode ( lol at Psych).

I emailed the devs last week and offered some suggestions. One of them was to alphabetize the favorites which they said they were working on and would be available on the next release. Along with that was a request to be able to backup those favorites like you can with bookmarks. The last two suggestions that I had were to be able to have the program automatically be able to scan for new shows with notifications and to highlight or indicate in some way in the favorites section that that particular show has a new episode. The last two suggestions are features that can be found in an app that I use frequently called dogcatcher.
Anymore suggestions guys? I know the devs read these so post them here if you have any. I really love this app so I want nothing more than for it to get better and better.

hi,
You are right, we are reading this forum
In next update bookmarkts will be alphabetically ordered. The update has not been released yet because we are finishing a minor fix that is taking more time than expected.
We are also preparing a special surpurise that will come in the next weeks. More info soon.
You can leave here suggestions, be sure that the developers will read it.
Love the app - could you please put the title or episode number of the video somewhere on the cropped screen too? Sometimes when the video stops in the middle one has to search again...
Overall I am very happy with what you guys made :.)
Hi guys,
thanks for updating the app, it's really comfy with the new sorted bookmarks!
but could you please make the announcement for the new film streamer optional, like in with a don't show this again option for the paid app?
thanks for reading this!

Android app like "side by side"?

I have a need for this app; it's called "side by side" and it's only on iPad.
Here is the verbage from the youtube video:
Side by Side is a multiple-screen reader/browser with offline reading and note taking capabilities. It turns one iPad into 1 to 4 devices working in parallel.
You can browse webpages, download files, read documents, or take notes on each split screen.
It allows you to have multiple apps running side by side on the screen....
Any android app that will do this?
agreed
I would love to have an app like this for android.
I'm really hoping someone has or is in the middle of creating this type of app for honeycomb.

I think we'd all love to know what technology/trickery you are using to make one eye focus on your notes while the other eye focusses on another app. Totally unrelated ofc, but you made me think of THIS video.
Nothing like this exists that I'm aware of... so far. Unless you are using some remote desktop software and accessing a pc/mac. Most ipad apps seem to get ported over so I'm sure we'll see it in the future.

Unfortunately, these guys are only selling their software to OEM's, so the chance of buying it from the market are zero... you'll have to buy a new device with the software built-in. I hope someone will be able to hack and extract the software to run on our tablets - this solution is WAY better than side-by-side as it allows for real apps to be run in each window (not just a simple browser or notepad).

Just FYI the "Side-by-side" app doesn't actually allow you to run multiple apps side-by-side, it only allows you do a limited number of specific tasks (web browsing/note taking) that are baked into the app.
To override an application's screen context would require extensive changes to the Android framework (and similar changes to iOS but no-one but Apple has access to the source for iOS) and would only happen as a full custom build of the OS (Like the "EDEN" system of the Notion Ink Adam)

Facebook app for tablets

Just saw this great new app over on the xoom forums. It's made by the same guy that did Tweetcomb (the first twitter app for tablets which also rocks). Seems really great so far, and is free on the market so check it out, it's called Friend Me.

I still think that it needs the ability to upload pictures and videos. Check- In, Notification Bar and all that, but apart from that, I think it's a great deal!

Nope, early WIP.
Does it support multiple logins? Seems not to. This is the biggest problem with Facebook and most other non-Google apps on the market - they all assume you are on a single-user device, a phone. A tablet is very often NOT a single user device. Me and my wife share it. There has to be some easy way to toggle between facebook accounts.
All the Google-written stuff has the ability to toggle between different accounts easily... even the market itself lets you do that.
Some problem with the app, completely froze my tab on first launch. Had to reset the device. Methinks its a problem with pictures. Anyone else faced this?

No what he is saying is a tablet is a multi person device meaning more than one person uses it so there for you need to be able to toggle accounts,I have the same issue with tablets as my kids use it but I don't want them on Facebook and I want to be able to control content they view by having different user settings for different log ons Luke you can on Windows

On another note, is does the transformer itself support multiple logins? I'm running into the same problem, when my other half is using the tablet and gets my email notification popups because it's linked to my google account.

Re: [APP][FREE] 2.3+ FacebookMagic, News feed messages as an live data wallpaper
Unfortunately, 12 hour updates makes this app broken for all intents and purposes. Can't test how it affects performance or battery usage. A trial version would be better. Allow users to choose update frequency for a set amount of days, then it locks to 12 hours would work wonderfully.

This. Impossible to test it as it is, so won't bother. An hour would have been better. All that text on your home screen is likely going to conflict with icon text etc, so it's important to see what happens over the course of the day with it continually changing.

Ok guys well more @benwalburn & SUer , no where on here asked to be tested, app already been tested this is more if you like the idea then buy pro not "let me make up an testing excuses for a free app" Please stay on topic if not please move on to something else that does need "testing for a free app"
@SUer , you have to make a 2nd screen with no icons so you can just swipe over... I mention this in the video

Thread cleaned. Let's keep this on topic. Though, I must say, I echo some of the concerns aired about the 12-hour interval, and suggest that this be changed to something more reasonable like 1 to 3 hours.
This is a really neat idea. Going to be testing the lite version and if it proves functional enough I will buy it. Thanks to you and all the hard working devs that are under appreciated!

Question for anyone that is using that app, if you have used the Rootz Wiki Forum you notice it takes you to the webpage because they do not have the TapaTalk plugin.

First off, if you were to keep up with that app you would know that guy abandoned it. Also he did not develop it at all. He used appyet just like I did, hence why I said "put together" I never said I developed that app ever. The icon is defiantly different, I am still looking for a new one but got this one for now due to the first one not displaying correctly for the notifications. I like Flowly a lot, but seeing that it would no longer be updated I decided to make one like it and keep it updated when appyet updated the code, and keep it current with all the new feeds. Also this is temporary while I work on my own that I actually developed, once that is done it will replace this one.
If flowly is abandoned and grilledbacon picked up where it was left off, I'm all for it. Good stuff, grilledbacon.
Thanks been looking for a replacement for blinkfeed now I can run nova prime again.
Thanks guys! Working on getting it on the Play Store should be soon now!
Thanks for carrying on the work of the flowly developer. Will there be ability to star articles? The ability to customize sources? Great work so far. Thanks again!

Hey everyone,
I just put this app together and wanted to put it on here and see what everyone thought about it and if you had any suggestions. I plan on adding a lot more things into it, but decided to go ahead and get it out there.

Question for anyone that is using that app, if you have used the Rootz Wiki Forum you notice it takes you to the webpage because they do not have the TapaTalk plugin. Do you like that it uses the in-app browser or would you rather it open your default browser and use that instead?? Would love to hear you thoughts!
Thanks!

I would prefer that it open in my default browser dude. So that I can carry on reading articles in your app after the links have been opened in the browser. This way I can read on my browser later.
I really like the idea, good job. However, I'll wait till you put it on the Play Store to receive the updates immediately without having to visit this thread again and download the new APK. Another thing, can you please add Ardroid.com to the app (and yes, that's an "R", not an "N")? It is an Arabic news site.
Thank You, and keep up the good work!
I just looked in the Play Store and there's already a TechTalk... That might be a bit of a problem...
I'd actually like to be able to use both an in-app browser AND my default browser. BUT if I had to only have it one way, I definitely want to use my default browser. Also in regard to Flowly, which I still use religiously, thanks for picking up the ball after it's abandonment.

I have noticed that, too. But I think he can maybe change the name?
Just used the app for an hour. Ignore my earlier comments about needing an external browser. The current implementation is perfect.
However, I would still like the ability to delete some sources. Great work so far! Thanks Dev!
Awesome app, very nice to have all the news in one place, but the app icon is really plain. Maybe some material flare would be nice. I mean no offense by that. You did a great job getting it all into one app.

I'd assume so. But since I found this app because of a post in the XDA Portal I'd probably suggest changing the name before it becomes too widely known. Better to rename with 50 users than with 5000 users...
Nice to have all the news in one place...

So all you did was rename an awesome app like flowly and pawned it off as your own. Really lame dude. You weren't even original enough to change the icon you just rounded the corners

You could at least give credit to the original developer of the app in the OP.
