Hi, let's create a list of good apps for babies and toddlers. I know I know it is not a good idea to trust your precious android phone to these curious creatures, but every parent want to have some quite time or a handy tool to keep your baby busy for a few minutes while you are shopping or standing in line.
Here is our favorite apps. Do not expect hours of gameplay from them, you can only keep your baby interested for 4-7 minutes each time, but sometimes that's all the time you need
Learn Animal Sounds Free - super nice and bright pictures of animals, great sounds they make and I love the voice of the girl saying animal names (Free)
Toddler Lock - very simple app to draw on screen that locks your phone keys (Free)
Happy Baby Faces - for some reason, many babies love to see pictures especially with babies on the. this app also locks your phone keys. $0.99 but give it a shot
Talking Tom Free - our boy loves when Tom talks back to him, no lock mode though so it is not baby friendly per say
I don't have any apps to contribute to the list, but it just occurred to me that if someone could make a small, inexpensive android tablet, maybe a little bit bigger than a iPod touch, I would love to buy them for my 8-year-old twins. Just something that could connect to WIFI and let them play some games would be cool.
-- and they could stay the hell away from my Desire Z
My daughter is bugging my about iPod touch -- but I really don't want to get her something that expensive that I can't even change the battery on it.

I have pandigital novel which I got for $120 but our kid loves my phone more I bet even if there is such thing as "kid's tablet" they still will want _your_ phone
Toddler safe Video App
I'd love to see an app like toddler lock but which plays media and locks down the keys. My 2 year old loves watching his ripped Mr Tumble DVD on my phone but the inevitable fingers on the screen and trackball pause or stop the video!

great idea! I'll tell my friend who developed happy baby faces, maybe he will create one
I think this is what she was referring to Zoodles's Kid Mode
Kid Mode is by far my favorite as it updates content as it grows with you child. It pulls content from other sites so you end up with a nice mix of games and videos. My boy (2) will spend an indefinite amount of time playing this game...

thanks for suggestion! I tried it before but could not figure out how to run anything to my shame and lock mode was incomplete - it did not lock the home and power keys. But I'll give it another shot
My 19 month old son loves mobile phones and remote controls (i let him play around with my older Samsung but not my HD2) but he seems to like X-Piano, i actually think it's a really cool app myself, plays all different types of sounds from acoustic grand piano to music box to synthbass to church organ and loads others and best of all it's free from the market
lol i also encourage my little boy (15 months old) who loves that talking cat.
He doesnt get his hands on my hd2, bit reluctant about my android tablet too but i do just give him my mrs's iphone (its bascially a toy anyway)

please check Toddler Video Player Lock Free on market now you have it!
Bartab [bartab.com] is a free mobile app/website that allows people to send their friends and themselves $1 drinks at participating bars.
You pay $1 to send a drink through Facebook/txt/email. When your friend wants to redeem the drink, they show a digital ticket on their phone to the bartender, pay $1, and get the drink.
When you sign on you get 5 free credits in your account.
Bartab has just launched in my area, Long Island , with 10 bars. I used it at a few bars and it works awesome!
There is a limit to its use. A person may only redeem one drink per day at a bar and also, one drink per hour, if changing establishments. If you're dedicated and your friends are generous you can still hit 10 bars and get 10 drinks in a single day.
Great for bar crawls, birthdays, and thanking XDA Devs or XDA'ers that have helped you out! I deff owe alot of XDA'ers for all the help I get here.

Some developers have pulled off some pretty awesome **** with Xperia PLAY's touch-pads.
Gameloft, on the other hand, has been spotty - yet playable.
Splinter Cell Conviction, however, has been the only one I can say was absolutely unplayable. You'd think they would naturally figure something out that's functional since other devs have laid out the groundwork to perfect control schemes, but I ran into an update today that somehow rose the bar on horrible touch-pad usage (which is amazing because Conviction already held the title as the worst).
Now there's no analog movement whatsoever... the entire touchpad workspace is now just simulating the touch-screen, and movement is tied to the d-pad... and with that, all the auxiliary functions that should be on the d-pad are spread out in completely unnatural-feeling places.
I could understand if Gameloft hadn't already churned out some workable touch-pad control schemes, but it's like they un-learned all their accomplishments from MC3, N.O.V.A. 2 and Shadow Vanguard.
Stay classy, Gameloft -_-.
When did you buy Splinter Cell? I would never buy an old gameloft, they are just bad. Espaccially the one wichwhere availeble before the Xperia Play came out.

I got it around when the $0.99 sale was going on. Pretty much stocked up on any Xperia PLAY Optimized GL game I didn't have.
I bought SC: Conviction a long while ago during one of the 99 cent sales and finally got around to it yesterday after beating Rainbow Six. Right when I started it it asked for an update. Holy crap you are correct, the game is straight out unplayable. The right touchpad doesn't work half the time and when it does it randomly fires your gun or "activates" something. You need to reach your thumb over to the left touchpad just to be able to look around, but as for targeting people and getting headshots? Nearly impossible. I think I may just dump it and not bother finishing, its just plain frustrating to play.
The sad part is the production values on it are amazing, the graphics and all. But the controls are beyond horrendous.
Then the strangest part, Rainbow Six was unbelievable. Console game quality production values, amazing graphics, good voice acting, and the controls were dead on perfect better than any other FPS I've played on this phone. How were both of these games developed by the same people (or did Ubisoft make them and Gameloft distributes under license)?
Y'see, this is why I own an Xbox. I played the Gameloft Conviction on my iPod touch about a year ago and hated it. <3 Xbox Conviciton <3

Yeah.. I have a PS3.... plus this game was only a buck, if I had paid $5.99 for it I would be really angry.
Even though you're only paying a dollar for a game I understand your expectations can't be super high, but you expect a game to at least be playable. This one absolutely is not. Its just strange because Rainbow Six is the complete opposite and one of the best games on the phone ever, IMO.
I sent a nasty email to GL just a moment ago regarding Sacred Odyssey force closing and the crappy SC Conviction. I have 3 different GL email addresses and I sent an email to each one. It seems so far this year I have been having nothing but unresolved issues with GL, either its games or there online multiplayer issues. And I stated that in my email. I was unaware of Sacred Odyssey not working on 2.3.3 at all and bought the game only find I cannot play it. I swear I am so close to just telling GL to kiss my a$$ and just get my games from them elsewhere, I mean if they cannot uphold their end of the agreement to supporting a game why should we have to pay. We are expecting to at least have a functional working game(s) and most dont work and have serious issues, some worse then others, so basically we are just throwing $$$$ into GL face for a non working game(s). This in my opinion is stealing from their customers. They take your money, you think you are getting a functioning game and BAM! Screwed. Well screw you GL. I utterly despise you and your complete lack of support, I know why GL doesnt use the android market, because if they did Google would hound their asses to fix their games and by having to use their wapshop they have you by the balls. I know people will reply to this message and say "just dont buy their games" I wont enymore. I am sick and tired of their bullsh!t and their lies. I hope that somewhere GL employees and their bosses see this post and realize they are becoming a complete disaster and a joke. They make pretty games, but you donrt buy a game just to look at it. So I say lets stop buying there games, and I was going to make a thread on their forums but forget it, there has been a thread there for months where people list their issues with Xperia PLAY games and its just being ignored by GL. The only person replying to anyones posts is Nik, and that persons reply is "I have forwarded your message to your support department".... more like trash bin. GL are a bunch of a$$holes. Sorry for the rant, I didnt mean to type this long of a message, I am just so extremely tired and angry with them. And no I dont want cheese with my whine.......

Gameloft's really good at giving you what they already have. And they're actually very prompt about responding considering how most big companies make you fight through 15 minutes of automated hell just to get horrible customer service.
...the problem is that they don't do too well at fixing what's wrong. Eternal Legacy, for example has an issue with the touchpad that makes you go flying in diagonal directions if you use the touch-pad at all... this means that the game was able to be released without ANYONE noticing that the analog won't even let you walk straight... I mean damn, that's a pretty critical issue.
I do appreciate that they gave me Starfront: Collision for free, but I kinda wanted Eternal Legacy to be fixed... this happened over half a year ago without them fixing it BTW.

This is exactly right about them. They are always very friendly and more than happy to give you a free game for your trouble, I got 9mm for free for complaining about Shadow Guardian and how theres a bug that basically makes it impossible to complete the game. Its something that seems really simple to fix too (works fine on the iOS version).
That said, I like Shadow Guardian better, I want to finish it. I and MANY others informed them of this bug months ago, and yet they haven't done anything to fix it, and I'm sure they are still selling the game, broken.
Yet they had time to release a patch to make Splinter Cell worse.....
How do you guys play shadow guardian? I found it really hard to even hit that guy with the Shield as I roll away and then can't aim on him in time. Help?
Also, I bought SC: conviction despite the comments here and it is pretty bad. Sam starts shooting randomly whilst I'm just moving, is this the standard?

The guys with the shield you have to aim for their legs, which is tough, or you gotta just keep moving and get on the side of them. Or use a powerful weapon like a grenade launcher.
As for SC, its because they changed the mapping, it seems that they mapped the whole touch screen to the touchpads. So the right touchpad does that when you look around sometimes. if you use the left one it won't but its way uncomfortable to use that way.
I'll write a complaint then...
are you SUPPOSED to get round the Shields guys in shadow guardian? Because I find that immensely hard if that's the case...

Real late in the game you are jumping from these bars that are between two walls that are closing in on eachother. You need to get to the last part within the time limit or you get crushed. The problem is that its actually impossible to do, you get crushed before the walls are even close enough to crush you. Someone posted a video online of the iOS version and I did it at speed vs the video exactly and it was impossible to pass.
I posted about it here and someone else had the same problem, and then I emailed Gameloft and they agreed it was a known bug and they haven't fixed it yet.
So I can't finish the game at all?
Well... That's an abomination

Correct, and Gameloft has known about it for at least 3 months if not more. But hey they will give you a free game if you complain.
Link, you know the green fairy boy of legend? The Hero of Time, and the wielder of the Bane of Evil. If not Click Here. So I'm having this debate, it's been a debate I've had for the past 5 years or so. What happened to link after the Ocarina of Time? He beats Gannon, and Navi leaves him. Link then sets out on a quest to find his only true friend. [Warning this is my POV from lots of Googles] After link leaves Hyrule, he decides to find Navi in the only place that would make sense, the Lost Woods. Link not being a Kokiri, or having a fairy can't find his way in the woods. Legend has it that Kids, and Adults who venture into the woods turn into either Skull Kids. Or they turn into those Skeleton Knights. Now this is the most accepted tid bit of information. Here is my weird theory.
After going into the Lost Woods, link spends for ever aimlessly wondering the woods, looking for Navi. After being lost for what feels like years. He comes across the Skull Kid. The skull kid hits Link over the head, causing him to die (This is also symbolic of life setting in. He's a Skull Kid, but has no clue of it) . But link is sent into purgatory, having no clue he is dead. That's when he chases Skull Kid into the cave. Upon reaching the cave, he falls. Seeing images from his past, present, and future. This is kinda like his soul being decoded in order to make his purgatory. So he is later cursed, and changed into a Deku. Why? That's him being able to relive his life as a week, defenseless "Child". Since he was pretty much reborn, he's given the one thing he's spent his whole life looking for. A fairy, but it's not his tho. So the story progresses, and he meets the mask salesman. He's kinda like that guy in American Dad who gives you IceCream right before he says your dead. But it being link, he wants a flipping quest. So he has to venture and find Skull Kid in order to become human. In Order to find Navi. Navi can be seen as his "heaven" if you would. He needs to do one final quest get the peace he's wanted. So as he leaves the building, you see almost all the characters in the town are from Hyrule. It's the only thing he knows, the people of Hyrule. All the lives he's saved, he needs to save again to find eternal peace. So that's it, for the weird theory. Here's side info to make more sense of this.
The Goron is a representation of being a powerful leader, and his connection to Sarah.
The Zora is him as a teen, falling in love. His guitar is Navi/Quest that he choice over Zelda.
The game has a darker feeling in it. It's link being able to live real life, and not just battling evil. He helps to lovers get together, he dances. He makes deeper relationships with characters, and has a chance to live a normal life. Once he helps out all the people, and obtains the mask (makers proving he lived his life). He can battle the Skull Kid, and can also receive the Fierce Deity's Mask once you get all the mask. A part I find weird is that the kid wearing the Evil mask is giving you this tool. The ultimate mask that makes you a full blown adult, with god like powers. This can be seen as link doing everything possible live his life. Now he has the power to defeat the mask, and go to his "heaven".
Once Skull Kid is free, and you saved the world. Your off to venture for Navi. The one thing you've always wanted to do. The one thing that made you feel alive again. I feel like link is stuck in this purgatory trying yo find his only friend. Refusing the fact that he's finally dead, and free to go away.
Any Ideas?
Haha whoaa.. did not see it like that.. makes sense. Wish I had some input to contribute :sly:

OH SNAP!
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Are you about that life?
Well ofcourse not, but you might still fantasize about being on the corner slangin them thangs!
Now you can. Play Trap Life for free right in your browser. Thats right, your iphone friends can play too.
Here's the deal....
Your name is Hustler and you're from Oakland, CA, The Bay Area.
Your boy started you off with $600 and just enough product to get your feet wet. So what do you do next? Well you setup shop on an unoccupied corner in the hood and before you know it the customers start lining up!
Your only job now is to sell your product. Soon the local dealers will start to notice you and give you their number. This is important because you're gonna need someone that you can reup from when your bundle gets low. Lucky for you, each city you setup shop in (LA, Atlanta, NY and more coming soon!) Has a different dealer with a different inventory.
Sell, re-up, stack your money but watch out for the driveby. Yup, haters are everywhere.
When you finally get enough bread youre gonna want to buy your first trap house and get in the kitchen so can start to cook for yourself!

Yes it's kinda slow tho.
Not very entertaining for a long term game so I don't play. Hospital is like 2 hour wait.
It's a good start but you need less hospital time (1 min)?
