New Hulu Bookmark App

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.hulu.bookmark/
Has anyone tested it yet?
I wonder if it actually plays video, or it's just browsing the site... The description is pretty bare.

Interesting...didn't they just re-block hulu on android yesterday? Since it clearly states that the developer isn't affiliated with hulu, I'd be very wary of dishing out money for something that will most likely get blocked by hulu.

Ok, so it seems to work, with a few caveats...no fullscreen?? High res takes you to the real hulu.com, which denies access based on platform.
As far as i can tell, this is the only way to successfully watch Hulu. Worth $1.50...until it gets blocked of course...

Wait, so all videos are playing? Or only a sub-set of Hulu's content?
If so, couldn't we just go to Hulu Mobile (somehow) via the browser and have it work? What URL does it take you to via the app?

I can confirm the videos do play, but this app is a mess...testing mobile site now, will report back

Use the app for more than 5 minutes then tell me its worth a penny. Need to go back to your homescreen? Good luck getting back to your video...The app opens a new instance of itself every time. No fullscreen? Tolerable. No way to exit the program? Ridiculous.
This dev doesnt deserve a dollar. Its just a cash grab. But Im sure the dev will appreciate suckers like you who think bookmarking a website qualifies as a paid app. What is it exactly that you are paying for? No thanks.
I encourage everyone with Froyo to try this out and report back here. Is it worth your money?

Sounds like it's certainly not worth it.
I'm just wondering, how are they doing this?
It must be just a website, minus the URL bar.
So what's that glorious URL that they're hiding?...

Not sure what app you're using i actually just responded to a text, googled something and just clicking on the app and it openend right where I left off. Whatever, just because I can get it to work and you can't doesn't mean you gotta get all pissy. and again let me remind you it's not even TWO DOLLARS HOLY CRAP!! that's less than a bottle of water at a baseball game.
I say it's worth it. But don't bother responding to me i wont be checking back.

good link, also you can use other browsers that allow hiding the task bar so you can get full screen. Skyfire works well for me.

Guys, please keep the flaming down. Also, no discussions about cracking or finding "workarounds" for paid apps are allowed in this site. That falls under the category of warez as well.
@FuzeAction, consider this a friendly warning.

To be fair, it looks like this "paid app" is nothing more than a browser without the address bar. That's not very honest.

I would have to agree that this is not a "work around". Its just going to a website that already exists. Thats like saying going to the facebook mobile site is a "work around" for Bloo.
BTW anyone who installed this app... is it still working or has hulu blocked it?

This alleviates my depression about GT5 being post-poned.

After 3 starring the entire demo, I've been waiting weeks for this!

Any idea how much it'll cost?

About time
iPhone version costs £0.59, so I'd expect the same really, amazing value!

oahoooo...finally got the apk

Whoa. Just picked up the apk also. Full version. This is bad. Lolz. I should get the real deal though. Sadly it's not on the market yet. Few more hours.
*twitches feverishly*

Heard there was a leaked full version out already.... no one here happens to have it....do they?

Google is your friend. I don't want to get booted for endorsing pirated apks (though this ad-supported version will probably be free anyway...).
What's funny though is that if you have adfree app installed, the (free?) ad-driven version will be the same as the paid version.

It's released on GetJar for some reason... http://www.getjar.com/mobile/43600/angry-birds/
And it's free, I'm confused.
edit:
It's Ad-supported... Hope they come out with a proper full version, seeing ads in-game is annoying.

Free, but ad supported.
Email says an update will let you pay and remove the ads.

Can someone post the apk? Getjar is being lame and wont let me download.

Anyone able to install this on CM6? It keeps failing the install for me.

Here you go, I've stuck it on my dropbox: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5757769/AngryBirds_1.3.5.apk
If you want to thank me, use my sig link and sign up to Dropbox too, I get 250Mb more free space

EDIT: Sorry. My dropbox public shares have been suspended cos of the excessive traffic (I'm guessing this is to blame)

Haypi Kingdom = Most addicting cell phone game ever (possibly)

So I downloaded Haypi Kingdom last night and have been playing it throughout the whole day.... HOLY CRAP! THIS GAME IS ADDICTING.
I'm not sure how to describe it but http://www.appbrain.com/app/haypi-kingdom/com.haypi.kingdom.activity
and you can see the official description for it.
It seems boring at first but for some reason it just draws you in. I'm still a low lvl so I can't do any of the cool stuff buy I still love the game.
This and game dev story are the two most addicting games I have ever played on a hand held in my life. Weird thing is there not games I would usually play..
Anyways, if you want something new and refreshing AND feel like throwing away your life down Haypi Kingdom for free....
My name on the game is "timeless_1"
If you decide to play please use me as your referrer as we both get some sort of bonus, not exactly sure what, probably money or something.
Also add me or let me know your name and I will add you and I can help you out. I just started so i'm still learning but we can learn together
Oh and btw I forgot to mention that they have "alliances" and I thought it would be freaking awesome if we got enough people and made an XDA alliance and dominated the server

I haven't found a game like this before on any hand held, to good to pass up

I'm lost. I opened the app and it says click register to register. It doesn't say register anywhere on the screen. I clicked Menu on my phone and there are no additional options. I also want to add that I went to their website to see if I could register there but no option exists.

same here, oh well.
I've played web based games like this before, they're fun until someone comes and rapes you.

Haha I remember playing same types of games when I was in my 11 and I had a blast until I would lose I feel as if I should go and look at games for my computer anyone have any games you recommend

Haypi Kingdom Registration
According to the Haypi forums:
"What's unique about registration is that you can only register for the forum via your iPhone/iTouch."
That's lame. So if I have question for the community I can't ask them, because I don't have an iPhone haha. Androscrimination!

sorry I haven't been on to help you guys... Didn't realize registration was so difficult.
If I recall you just open the app press register fill in your email and password and that's it. You don't choose a username until later on in the game when you complete a couple tasks.

Did you try closing the app and re-opening it? or uninstalling? I never had that problem so i'm not too sure what it may be.
Every now and then the game itself bugs out and I have to re-login, probably because the servers are really crowded...
Oh and I forgot to mention. There is absolutely no difference between this version and the iphone version. You can do the same exact things as you can on an iphone/ipod that statement from there site is just a mistype or it's older.

1. I'm using an Evo with the default Sense DPI. If the button is there, I would see it.
2. If you can see it and I can't, then you probably have a modified DPI. I'm not changing my DPI to see a game. THAT'S foolish.
3. If I can't even get a chance to play it because they done goofed and made the game with the wrong resolution, then yes. It sucks.

We could always go the route of sales through forums, or "donations" if that works better. Paypal works, payment is payment. I would prefer a more personal 'market' anyways.

New site dedicated to 'true' tablet apps

I just saw this site listed in an article on AndroidSPIN. Here's the link to the article:
A New Solution for Finding Tablet Optimized Applications
The part of the article that piqued my interest the most was this:
It’s not an alternative market but rather, it displays apps that have been SPECIFICALLY designed for tablets then links them back to the Android Market. Many devs claim their apps are optimized for tablets but in truth, they simply mean the app now stretches to fill the screen on a tablet-that’s far from being optimized. None of this “optimized” nonsense here. Each app is tested to make sure that it is actually designed for tablets; meaning the UI has been enhanced in some way to take advantage of the large display. It’s definitely worth a look. Thanks!
The site it refers to is: Tablified Apps
It's worth a look.

hey bro i saw the site, it looks good , i was looking for something like this, thanks for the heads up

This site just made me sad. It is a great idea and I appreciate the work put in, but it only serves to highlight the utter lack of tablet optimized apps currently available for Android.

Great site. Thanks for this (Thanks button used with pleasure). I've only had a quick scroll and already found two apps that I hadn't heard of that look really good.
It's great to see people furthering the cause of Android tablet optimised apps. The more exposure there is, the more developers are going to be encouraged to develop for tablets.

It all depends which country you live in. I think it's only in the USA you get the tablets section (possibly Canada too).
Edit: well I hate to be a killjoy but the first app I saw on that site is the game 'Stupid Zombies', which isn't a tablet optimised or made for tablet app at all and certainly isnt a 'true' tablet app. So not sure how that site is sorting apps just for tablets, and perhaps others on there are the same, but I didnt look further. Maybe that's a one off.

A lot of tablet apps are missing from that site.

If you found a missing app, there s a "submit an app" section on the main page. This site should fulfil itself if people just take 1 minutes to share their discovery.

let me explain how it works for games because there isnt a clear cut line. a games doesnt need to be 3.0 specific for it to work on tablets. people complain about not having a tablet games section then complain when i put a game up. this is how i determine if the game is a tablet game or not. i actually look at the Apple app store version. Stupid Zombies is a tablet game. how do i know? because the same version of that game is offerred on the iPad and on the iPhone. I know this because you see that theres is only one version of the game in the app store and there is a little "plus" sign on the corner of the app icon. this game was designed for tablets and phones. same thing applies for the Android market. Im not sure if you even bothered playing the version of stupid zombies on the ipad and iphone/ipod...but i have. theres no difference between the two. i spend a lot of time testing these apps and games. if one app didnt make you want to look any further, well, i guess its your loss then. i hope people understand that its not always clear cut. thats why theres a voting section. if you think the game/app shouldnt be on the list then please send me a quick msg. it takes two seconds. theres a button right under the app that says "send enquiry". notify me and ill let the people decide if it should be on the list or not. perhaps i should add stupid zombies to the app voting section.
as for the people who have apparently gone through the entire site in a day, im sorry i cant fill the apps fast enough...im the only person doing this right now. hopefully help comes soon. if you find an app then take a second and submit the app. thanks!

I agree with this methodology 100%. Keep in mind this site is brand new and is still growing. That coupled with the sad fact as many of you have pointed out that there are just not that many Tablet designed apps just yet. Give the site a chance folks contribute to the list... we will all benefit from it in my opinion... not that it should mean much since I just joined.... but still!
as far as stupid zombies I play that game on my transformer daily (its addicting) based on the above criteria it fits as a tablet app imho
Thanks and I am glad to be a part of this community and looking forward to getting flamed/ accepted here.

I know this because you see that theres is only one version of the game in the app store and there is a little "plus" sign on the corner of the app icon. this game was designed for tablets and phones. same thing applies for the Android market. Im not sure if you even bothered playing the version of stupid zombies on the ipad and iphone/ipod...but i have. theres no difference between the two. i spend a lot of time testing these apps and games. if one app didnt make you want to look any further, well, i guess its your loss then. i hope people understand that its not always clear cut. thats why theres a voting section. if you think the game/app shouldnt be on the list then please send me a quick msg. it takes two seconds. theres a button right under the app that says "send enquiry". notify me and ill let the people decide if it should be on the list or not. perhaps i should add stupid zombies to the app voting section.
as for the people who have apparently gone through the entire site in a day, im sorry i cant fill the apps fast enough...im the only person doing this right now. hopefully help comes soon. if you find an app then take a second and submit the app. thanks!

You totally misunderstood what I was saying and the tone. I wasn't slating your site by only saying id looked at one. I was saying id looked at one and not had time to look at more, and was unsure if all the apps were not 'true' apps or not, so i didnt want to judge just from looking at one, just report back immediate findings. I can see why you thought that though. I applaud your efforts.
Anyway I disagree with your thoughts on 'if an app is works fine on an ipad it must be ok in honeycomb, or for an android tablet', but hey if all humans agreed with each other the world would be a boring place. In the case of stupid zombies yes it works fine in honeycomb but its still not a 'true' tablet app and the developer doesnt claim it to be.
I think we can all agree there arent that many honeycomb specific or optimised apps anyway. Get developing people!

Please define what a game should have to make it eligible to be called aa tablet game. What should stupid zombies have added to make it a honeycomb/tablet app? Just so I have a reference. Thanks.

The developer claiming that is would be a good start.

really? so...
IMDB, Movies and about a dozen other apps dont have any mention of being a tablet app in the market, does that make them not a tablet app? Sure they aren't games but still, by that definition it would weed out a lot more than just games. honestly, if i waited around for all developers to post that their apps are for honeycomb/tablets then i would have nothing on the site.
anyway, until someone give me a better solution for posting up games, im going to do what i think feels right. comparing them to their iPad counterparts is CURRENTLY the best solution there is. i check for graphics, gameplay, controls, etc. if its identical, like how stupid zombies is, then its a tablet game.
games like burn the rope will not be on the list because the controls differ from the ipad. the ipad has on screen controls to move the rope instead of having to wave around your tablet, looking like a fool. so thats an example of where the game looks good on phones and tablets but still NOT for tablets.
i hope this clears some stuff up. if anyone has some suggestions on how we can distinguish tablet games then please let me know. thanks!
