I recently started using instapaper and I love it. I think there is a great need for instapaper official android app! It has an iphone official app. There are a few unofficial instapaper apps but I don't think they are comprehensive.
I used to email links to myself...I Sony do that anymore due to instapaper.
Im interested in hearing how many of you use instapaper and if you would like an official app for it.

As much as I like Instapaper, I love readitlater more and it has an official app on most platforms. Works in very much the same way.
Yea. +1 on Readitlater... it and Beautiful Widgets and XDA are the only apps I've paid for.

Thanks guys for recommending Readitlater. Just downloaded it and this is actually what I wanted. Im still trying to figure out a couple of features. How do you download an article for offline use on your cell?
Its a great app and I love it. However, I think it should have the option of creating 'new folders' to organize your bookmarks/articles. Hope this would be included in the updates.
Overall great app.
Install the applet from readitlater.com on your browser's toolbar and just click on it to save the page to your queue.

I have done that ..but doesnt answer my questions which is:
How do you download an article for offline use on your cell?
Sorry. Lol. I completely misread your question the first time. Once you open your reading list, long press on the article you want, and select download.

Is anybody aware of an android instapaper client that uses volume key scrolling?
use 'read it later' ...much better than instapaper.
+1 to the instapaper/readitlater client request.
not one instapaper / readitlater client has the following 3 (essential) features
-volume key scrolling
-full screen
-full sync
There is definitely a gap for a quality client here, especially if somebody integrates functionality from ebook readers (#WHY-HASNT-THIS-BEEN-DONE), such as
-touch to scroll
-glide to change font (see moon reader)
-glide to change brightness (see moon reader)
-text format options
-fixed orientation
-remember location in each article
I have to say that i am very surprised no one has made a top quality client, and no reason that it couldn't sync to either readitlater or instapaper
Dev's - on your marks, set - GO!!!!
ps the best solution i have come up with is to export my instapaper reading list to epub and read in moon reader
any news on this?
is there any ereader-app that can automatically import my unread items/reading list, so i can read them properly on my ebook-reader (rooted nook touch)... can't find a satisfying solution

Did you install the free office viewer? Search captivate in the market.

Quickoffice for Captivate.
I tried that.
But thanks for your post I gave it another go, and now, I have found my issue: .... the email attachment I used for my experiment was a PPTX and it doesn't recognize it ... only PPT
I re-did the experiment with a PPT attachment and it is fine.

You can download the free (read-only) version of Documents To Go app. This one supports PPTX. The QuickOffice app leaves a lot to be desired by it gives you capability to edit office docs as well as PDF viewing for free. So I had both on my phone.
***Developers Read***
I Have Four App Suggestions For Any Developers Willing To Take On Any Of The Projects!!
{Suggestion #1}.... Is A App That Can Be Run To Fix Parse Issues Sometimes Associated With Installation Of Apps, And If It Can Fix The Parse Issue, Specify Why!
{Suggestion #2}.... Is A App That Basically Asks Where On The SDCard (Or If Possible, Even Desktop) You Would Like The Current App To Be Installed, Similar To A Desktop Computer, Which Gives The Option To Choose Exact Folder/Desktop Location!!
{Suggestion #3}.... Might Be Reaching On This One, Lol!! But....
It's A Request For A App That That Makes Apps, It Would Basically Have "SIMPLE" Hooked On Phonix Options, For How Or What The User Would Like To Create!! Like I Said Probably Reaching Huh? Lol!!
& Finally Probably The One I'm Hoping For The Most....
{Suggestion #4}.... This Suggestion Is For More Options In The XDA App It Self, Such As.... The Ability To Bookmark Forum Page, Directly Return To The Last Page ( After Closing App), Upload Apps/Scripts Directly From Phone ( Instead of Home Computer), Edit Profile (Pictures), & Also Fried Request!!
Hopefully Someone Will Like At Least One Of These Ideas And Try To Bring It To Life...
Also.... I'd Like To Give A Quick Thanx To All The Developers!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I'm not a developer, but in response to number 4. The XDA app is actually built off another app named Tapatalk Pro. The folks at Tapatalk Pro made this app special for us XDA users.
If you want a feature added, I would suggest contacting them. Best of luck on the rest!

Maybe reaching a bit if you want to create apps on your phone. Google has a tool called App Inventor that will help you create apps in a web browser on your computer:
http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/
What you are looking for is often called Rapid Application Development, or RAD. Searching for Android RAD doesn't help much, but it does show that there are other people looking for Android RAD.

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!

It's a 1.0 release, I'm sure all of that is coming to the works. But yeah, totally agreed. Off to a great start, I'm looking forward to the updates.
Needs to be able to view groups also but very good

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.
What's in this version:
Improved Pages support
View the full list of Pages you Like as well as Pages you admin
Post as a Page you admin
Tag Pages in status updates using "@"
Various bug fixes

Still missing lots of features. Wake me up when I can post comments on events.
It got better than 1.6 at least now the pictures are view-able in the news feed.
Let's hope it's improved from 1.6, problems galore with 1.6.
I think it still has a scrolling bug.

Is there anyway to default the News Feed to show Most Recent rather than Top News? I use the app because I want to quickly peek in and see what's happening now-ish. Not a post from yesterday that Facebook decided is important. Thanks in advance.

still? in 1.6 it started with that permission ... either they think that the people are as dumb as the apple junkies or they are so arrogant to believe that people won't notice/care about that.
just look at the market reviews, so many people uninstalling and reporting it as malicious.
Now updated to 1.7. Some small news.
One is that i now can download the app from the market on my 3.2 Asus TF again. Sadly everything(?) is working, except for the news feed.
We all know the standard favorite apps...Nova Launcher, Lightflow, Tasker, Pulse, etc. What is an app that you like that doesn't get a lot of attention?
For me it would be Root Call Blocker Pro. With its google group filtering, I was able to go on a website listing lots of common spam numbers in my area code and add those to a google group on my laptop. Now I have about 80 such numbers blocked. I was also able to automatically direct all unknown or private callers to my voicemail.
Webkey. Lets you control everything on your Android from any PC. Even turns your phone access into a URL so no installation required on the controlling PC. Great for using it as a media device when someone doesn't have an integrated multimedia setup.
Screen off and lock.
Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
Profile Scheduler by Wetpalm, it's smaller and drain less resources then Lama. Scheduler is based on time table - no GPS locations but is free and extremely useful for someone having a fixed day by day routine.
Display orientator is very useful. It forces anything into landscape mode......

It might be a bit more useful if folks would include a link to the apps that are being mentioned. Because I'm bored at work and have nothing better to do, here are the apps that have been mentioned so far:
AirDroid
AlarmDroid
Smart Keyboard Pro
Awesome Wallpaper - as MissionImprobable pointed out, HOLY PERMISSIONS BATMAN!
SwipePad
gReader
Display orientator
Profile Scheduler
Screen Off and Lock
Webkey
CamScanner
TeamViewer
To this list, I would add:
AFV (Android File Verifier) - useful for verifying MD5/SHA-1 hashes of downloaded files
AIX Weather Widget - provides a great easy-to-read graph of forecasted temperature/precipitation for the next 24 hours
Network Monitor Mini - gives a customized overlay indicated current network traffic
