BumpTop - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Okay, so.... Apparently, Google purchased this startup.
http://www.bumptop.com/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jhoWsHwU7w&feature=youtube_gdata_player
So what's up... !?
Did they acquire this so as to use it in a future release?
I, for one... Would LOVE to have such an immersive launcher.
Thoughts?

I remember this. Bumptop was pretty cool. I was excited to see it show up in one of Google's products but am disappointed to not see it anywhere yet. It would be a shame if they gobbled it up to never even use the tech.
Same thing goes for Blindtype.

That's what I wonder... Google has acquired many cool startups; never to be seen again.
The other really cool one was "TAT Home" ... It was acquired by RIM. :-/

Maybe some features will be included in Icecream sandwhich ?

Those two apps are really attractive. Seriously where I can get them. Are you sure there is no way? Thanks.

XDA App Development

I was wondering if there would ever be an XDA application available to android on the market. Seems like it would be pretty sweet.
Anyone else think so?
Any developers out there that would like to give this a go?
well umm, its an alright idea, but since i own a nexus, browsing http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=556 is rather easy and fast with even low 3g signal
I understand its available to view on the nexus, I have one and it does do a good job for viewing. Just thought a native app would be nice to have.
It actually came out, Congrats to XDA for this milestone
yea i just downloaded it earlier this morning
its great in concept but it takes way to long to load the thread lists.
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/official-xda-developers-android-app-released-today/
i am typing on the official xda app right now and it works much faster to ne on my n1 than going through the browser. its funny how android got a workable official app before winmo did

yea I saw it on a Sig searched xda on the market and now I'm a happy camper. typing from the xda app right now
Never mind.. I was stupid for a second there.

This right here is the only reason I will not use this app. I don't need everyone knowing that I used the app to post on the site. Obviously if I posted I know about the website, and the only reason someone would use the app is if they liked xda developers, or simply wanted to post here.
So why do we need the extra notification, legal purposes? Advertisement? Credit?

Oh my gawd.. sorry for such harsh complaining without investigating. Now I will use the app, lol.
ya, i turned my off
I don't think I see the point to this. Wouldn't a mobile version of the webpage be enough for this? I certainly wouldn't want a separate app for every forum I visit.
Excellent. Worth downloading.
Wow, very nice app !!

you didn't rate the app on the marketplace before figuring this out, did you?
Is there any way to make it so that when you tap the Forums tab, that it goes to the Nexus One forum by default so we don't have to scroll through the list to find it?

Same here..that and the text could be formatted better.

I am T-pain App

Couldnt agree more, this needs to stay in all the app devs view

more likely it's anatres', the company that makes autotune, which t-pain, akon, and a myriad of other singers have been using recently.
i would buy the app too, since the voice digitizer is roughly $250

Eh, maybe so, but he seems extremely intelligent and I, in some way, agree with what he had to say. Android does not offer the same ROI as Apple does. Have you heard of any Android developer actually making a substantial amount of money on the platform? I haven't, but maybe I don't know. Although I'm disappointed that awesome iPhone app developers such as Smule's Jeff Smith and others won't be coming to Android, I can certainly understand where they're coming from.
I wrote a simple app that gives you the autotune effect, it's out on the market as MicDroid. It's still alpha-quality, and I'm still working on graphics for it. Check it out and give me some feedback.

Purchasing the donate version right now. I have no desire to use the app but I really like seeing a request like this getting answered. It makes everyone happy and it makes us devs look good. At the least the ones that have time to work under the android hood.
Keep it up.

Easter Egg image a hidden insult?

I'm sure I'm reading too much into it but I looked at the Easter egg image a few minutes ago and the first thing that pops in my head when looking at it is a bunch of mindless zombies on cell phones being dominated/controlled by the evil android gingerbread.
What do you see when you look at it? A hidden insult/inside joke perhaps from the developers?

I certainly don't take it as some kind of hidden insult. It's creepy, but I don't take it personally.

I don't feel personally insulted either but when I was trying to make sense of the image that's all I could come up with
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I was so deeply insulted, I am now suing Google...
I am sorry but how you could even find this insulting is beyond me. However, if this were really true, props to you cause I have always found it to be a charming picture. I don't know what it means but it says who made it as soon as the image pops up, you could maybe find the guy and ask him what inspired him to do such an image.
Yeah I wonder what the inspiration was. I work in IT and there are always inside jokes about end users that have a similar ring to it. Perhaps that is why I saw it how I did. Its a cool image either way lol

I never thought of that! That could very well be it. Much more likely than the way I first interpreted it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
After getting harassed by Best Buy for trying to exchange my Nexus S for the third time, I couldn't help but remember this picture and feel like Google thinks I am nothing more than a mindless zombie. It's like they feel I'm a simpleton who will buy any Android phone that bears the name "Nexus", even if it's built out of the cheapest, easiest to scratch plastic Korea can find.

You guys can find this guy on Facebook all his art is like this and for sale.
I personally love his art and I think it makes my nexus s 1,000 times better
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
my interpretation is like this
the Green Android dude summons the Gingerbread daemon to exterminate all the iPhone zombies to save planet earth.
if you look at the Android guy it has the cool eyes look
and the Gingerbread summon is in fighting stance
... that's just me, but i'm pretty sure the original artist had the same idea in mind
How did you guys find this lol?

Well maybe it's just me then. I liked all the previous updates. This one just seems so cluttered. I feel like the whole android interface could use a facelift. Apple has the beautiful interface down, but they're restrictive and controlling, so I still prefer Android.

lol, many people will disagree with you... I like the look of honeycomb wayyyy more than iOS. I think honeycomb is gorgeous. I can't wait for ice cream sandwich.
I have to go with mark on this. iOS's UI is a lot smoother and cleaner than any version of Android to date. Does that make it better? Depends who you are.

I haven't used honeycomb - I thought it was just for tablets. We're not getting that on our phones, are we?
I'm looking forward to whatever the next release is. That's why I got the Nexus in the first place, to get updates (and untainted ones at that) .

Theres a unofficial port for it but a lot of its functionality is stripped.
Honeycomb is definitely beautiful though. Very smooth and solid.

yeah it's just for tablets, but ice cream sandwich is based off honeycomb and will bring many UI elements from honeycomb to our phones. I can't wait.
If you' re missing the iphone look you can always theme Android. The iphone theme for MIUI is pretty perfect, incl modded notifications etc.

I agree that iOS is old and boring but its still better designed than Android, honeycomb included. Honeycomb is a lot better (and fresher, so I prefer it now over iOS' design) but its still isn't as well designed technically.
In terms of design, I personally like WP7 the best.
