Yes, but its not a native HC app, and FC's a lot.
Astrid is the best one IMO
I ended up with Taskos on my phone even tho it didn't have a honeycomb version for tablet. I thought Astrid had the most features and that does work on tablet. Taskos UI is far superior for the phone, IMO.
Tabr
I've think Tabr is the best..also made by an xda-developer ..
I've tried a lot so far but Tabr has the best widget IMHO..it has also the refresh button directly in the widget..
Can sync with google calendar directly and with google task by installing astrid (so Tabr could show tasks in his widget from there)..
Taskos does have a great interface on phones, but the google sync is currently broken and on honeycomb it force closes so much it is unusable.
Astrid is my new favourite, it went a dodgy patch of being rubbish, but is now back to its old goodness!
It syncs via google tasks or its own servers if you prefer, so my HTC Desire and Transformer have the tasks synced after i add or edit any tasks.
it also adds them to my google calender so i can see them in there too - Astrid is awesome (again!)
Thanks this works well

What about pocket informant? It works great for me. Landscape view and syncs with google tasks and toodledo.

Hey do anyone know of a good news widget to use other than the HTC news widget and the genie widget?
Sent from my Sprint Evo
Try BuzzBox
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Looking for the same..I tried Buzzbox and it sucked..Couldn't find the feeds I searched for and wouldn't show news items but from one feed.
I use gReader. It takes all the feeds you have set up through Google Newsreader and syncs it on your device. The adding a new subscription directly from the application is a bit weird, but it works.
Pretty fast too although I don't think it caches graphics until you open the item.
Greader includes a widget?

Well I can just use the HTC News app for that, it works great. I got used to the widget though using Sense the first week or two after I got the phone. So looking for an alternative widget.
I personally think the HTC News widget is too bloated. I prefer the Genie Widget -- not only does it give accurate weather notices, it's also got a great news aggravator.

Where do I find it, I know I found it somewhere before but didn't see it in the market.
I'm also trying to find Genie in the market, but can't seem to locate it...has it been removed?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HFKIPATA
any other scrollable news widgets? or any way to trick the sense news widget to work with launcher?
No scrollable news reader widgets I know of and I can assure you I have looked everywhere and likely tried out nearly everything out there. I would like nothing more than to dump Sense but personally, I think they really hit the mark on some of their widgets and their seems to be no equivalent in the market. The guy behind LauncherPro has been doing a great job rolling out similarly functional widgets but no ETA yet on the NewsReader.
Lot's of folks seem to really like the Genie widget which comes on the Nexus One but with no way to choose the specific feeds you want, it doesn't work for me.
Buzzbox has potential and is the only non-Sense news reader with a full screen widget. That said, it still leaves a lot to be desired and was deleted without prejudice. It's buggy, articles were OLD (16+ hours), and it was missing a lot of feeds. I sent an email to the developer and in his response implied that the servers at Buzzbox pre-scan the sources to only send you the "best stuff." WTF? Isn't that the job of the editors at the respective sources...?
gReader syncs feeds from your GoogleReader account and is definitely one you should try if pulling from Google Reader is what you are looking for. However, if you are looking for a bit more customization I would recommend trying out Feedr, NewsRoom, and Greed2. They all have "widgets" but that is using the term loosely in comparison to the Sense one. Personally, when I am running a non-Sense ROM I use NewsRoom. Again, it has widgets but they are really just shortcuts. However, in my opinion (and of course, this entire post has been all my opinion) I think you'll find it has the nicest layout of what is available now plus customizable feeds.
I used to use "Jorte" on my Samsung i9000 phone which work pretty good.
But when I use it on transformer. I found it didn't use the advantage of the
Hi-res. Still the same layout but streched to full screen.
Unlike the tablet version of evernote and catch, which is re-layout properly.
Is there any calendar APP with tablet version support? You can refer to iPad's
calendar and you will know what I mean.

+1 here, this is something I'm looking for also
Just out of curiosity, what does the built-in calendar app not do that you want it to?

I'm not sure about the OP, but the calendar app widget built-in to HC only shows a week out. Jorte gives a few weeks, potentially a month, in a handy little widget. But on tablets it is too small to use.
I use touch calendar. The resolution doesn't get stretched as Jorte
the calendar from Samsung tab seems nice. Any chance to extract it?
Check the screenshot.

Try out Pocket Informant:

I use Wizz widget's calender widget, it has several different size calenders, including monthly one.

Wizz seems like it will be my choice too, at least for now. I wish Jorte would update or Cozi would support google calendars.

I use pure grid calendar. no stretch cause it has tablet support
I might check it out, looks good. I wish there were a ad-supported version, if only just to check it out.
Not a fan how the agenda and calendar widgets are charged for separately.
Try Business Calendar. It's fantastic and offers great widgets too!
I've tried both pocket informant and jorte.. must say Business Calendar is much better, even than both combined
/offtopic : What i dislike is the fact that my backspace-key seems to delete 2 characters in stead of one. (dn't notice earlier, so I guess it's only on this forum?? That, plus I keep touching the touchpad when I type on the keyboard
+1 pure grid calendar widget. I use it in week mode and month view mode in two diferents widgets. It works great for me.

What keyboard are you using? If using an aftermarket keyboard, sometimes mine (Tablet Keyboard on TF and Swiftkey on phone) will weird out a bit, so I have to restart.
I'm pretty content with Tablet Keyboard or whatever it's called.
It has the prediction of Swiftkey that I love so dearly, but I won't buy SK out of spite. No need to charge a second time simply for a port, but I digress. Tablet Keyboard is free =P
What is your absolute favorite application/game? The one you just cannot live without. I am excepting to see a lot of mainstream apps being called out, so to go along with that question, what is your favorite non mainstream app/game?
My fave mainstream app would have to be Facebook (lots of friends from england)
My fave non mainstream app would have to be SwingGame
I am hoping that we will all be able to find some apps that we have never heard of before through this thread.
Netflix and before that came I would say YouTube app impressed me.

I agree. Pulse is really quite amazing. The UI is beautiful
Pulse. Great app.
I would have to agree with Pulse as well. Was recently introduced to this app and absolutely love it.
+ on pulse. Save sooo much time with it.
Multipicture live wallpaper.
1- because I was going out of my mind when honeycomb cropped my pics
2- runs great with adw ex
Feedly :
Love it the away it allows me the add the feeds, read the same feeds on my phone and on the tablet , and also on my desktop (Firefox addon).
Beautiful interface on both android and desktop. Another nice feature is the suggestions of other feeds that I would like. Stopped using pulse once I found Feedly
The browser is my fav. Its the one app I couldn't live without.

I'm greedy, I have two ~ Evernote & Dropbox
Both serve me exceptionally well on all my devices; allowing data to be shared simple and easy.
Evernote: Totally useful - not a timewaster - your information available transparently on every device you own, simply awesome.
It used to be Pulse, until I found News360.
Honestly though, the browser gets 99% of the usage on my tablet. I use the default browser cause I;m a chrome user on PC and having synced bookmarks is a necessity. Opera Mobile would be great if I could add more than 9 speed dial buttons
If I may ask my own question about "Your absolute favorite app"
What is your favorite sports app?
I'm trying to find a good one for tablet. All the amazing sports apps, Score Mobile, Fox etc suck for the tablet... they wont even go into landscape mode!
For those who use Pulse, try out Taptu, its very similar but somehow cleaner and faster in my opinion. (news 360 is awesome though.)
But my favorite app is... either Dropbox or Youtube
I love Pulse.
Can't help but think that if you could hide the window which slides out from the left when you click a story by sliding it back, instead of hitting the back button it would be so much better.
Going to d/l Taptu & check it out as well. Cheers for the suggestion

For all of the folks that like Pulse - Check out News Republic - it's a really nice (and free) news app (I like it better than Pulse)!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Besides the browser and Facebook (Friendcaster for tablets) the app I keep coming back and spending lots of time in is Age of Zombies. The Survival mode is addicting. It's the only game I've found on the Android Market that I keep coming back to play. Everything else I get bored of after 5-10 minutes.
Still can't replace console gaming though.
Have to agree with Pulse. Its just so clean and epic...and epic.
Any suggestions on a good calendar app for the Fire?
I am running PocketInformant and loving it. I have used this app on every phone since my first Windows PC phone years ago.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
Pocket Informant is nice. I also use Business Calendar on my Fire and it works great, too. (I like the PI week/grid view, and the BC 4 day week view (sort of like the web GCalendar view).
Jorte is great, syncs with Google Calendar, runs nice on Fire, has a widget. Pretty fond of it.
I hope to get Pure Grid working aftrr I get calendar working. It's a great widget on my EVO

Root and Calendar Widgets
Ok, I'm rooted and trying to set up my KF. How do I get it to recognize my Google calendar entries and put them in a widget?
I'm tried several calendar apps with widgets and none of the widgets will show what is showing if I just touch the app button! Is there something I have to do to get these calendars to sync with my Google calendar?
Disregard. I fixed it!
Notes / Task app for Honeycomb and above (support for Froyo will come) styled with the HoloTheme. Created the app because there were so few Holo-themed apps out there. Especially ones that also offered tablet support. The idea is that the app should blend in and look like it could have been made by Google.
Features
Phone and Tablet UI
Ice Cream Sandwich style
Synchronization with Google Tasks
Search among your entire notes, not just titles
Change font type and size
User configurable theme
User configurable sort order
English, German and Swedish language support
Will implement resizeable widget soon. Support has been added for AndroidAgendaWidget meanwhile; just waiting on them to release their supported version as well.

bugs:

- task deletions in the app aren't synced to google tasks
- can't mark tasks as done in the app

Can add that as a future feature. What it does now is that is always auto-selects the list that was modified the latest. So if you edited a note, the list that note lives in will be the one that is selected on next restart. So your most commonly used list will be the most commonly opened
its works good for me
Thanks for sharing!
There's an issue on some devices which causes a null pointer exception and crash.
By chance, I tried to install my app on a Galaxy Tab in a store today and the app crashed right on start with that exact error.
I can't replicate the problem in the emulator running 3.2, so it's not a problem with Honeycomb. But it could be a problem with Samsung's modified stuff. No one here has a galaxy tab running samsung stock by any chance?

Feature request: Gnotes has a very nice feature where it "converts" (it's just a display thing really, interpreting a certain char as trigger) lists into checklists. Very nice for shopping lists and the like. (Not that important though as I'll have to keep Gnotes for some of its features anyway).
Did I mention reminders yet? That's a major missing feature imho.

You could make a shopping list by making one note for every item you wish to buy, and then you could check them off in the notes/tasks list. Does Gnotes do it any different?
Notifications are in the pipeline now that I've got the syncing working properly
1 task per item is a kinda ugly workaround. Gnotes converts a whole note into a checklist. It's a free app so easy to check it out. BUt as said, not thar important as I'll be keeping Gnotes anyway.
Great Apps
Really nice apps. Thanks alot!
Another feature suggestion:
Swipe left and right to jump between lists
And big thanks for your work on this app
