So... What to you guys use for Voice Control? The stock VC app will not do thinks like text people, open apps, send emails, etc. Is the a reason why Jeannie is not in the market for this tablet, maybe compatibility? Is there a way to get it to work on here?
What's the best solution until ICS is released?
Thanks...

Hi, i am no dev, sorry if this is the wrong section, but i realized that inside of Android 2.2 sdk or something there is the new C2DM Service. Even Google says that it could work very well for instant messages like this:
C2DM makes no guarantees about delivery or the order of messages. So, for example, while you might use this feature to tell an instant messaging application that the user has new messages, you probably would not use it to pass the actual messages.
http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/android/c2dm/index.html
i searched for an app, which uses C2DM for instant messaging for serveral IM networks like icq, msn etc, but didnt found anything... all the messengers like ebuddy, meebo etc don't use this new push notification which should save a lot of battery, if the device gets pushed about new messages and only than the devices download the message from the server
what do you think about it?
PS: sorry for my crap english
Hopefully this new service will solve all the issues we have with the current crop of instant messengers and their frequent disconnection. This is one feature I miss from my old iPhone
i guess most developers of messaging apps are already working hard to incorporate c2dm into their clients. since froyo is still verry young and there is only one device yet that is officially running it, the use for this would have been verry smale yet. but im sure in a few weeks we will have lots of messaging apps using this feature.
Thread moved to General.

new Google Talk in FroYo already uses C2DM, other messengers are likely to follow in several months as more phones get FroYo
How is life going? Froyo is about 6 months old, 36 % running Froyo, and the only C2DM-using apps I know are Whatsapp, Jumpnote and Chrome To Phone. I know Google is holding several C2DM presentations.
I'm still missing a IM-app, soccer scores app and so on. Are there any developers working on this? Or is it hard to obtain acces for Google C2DM?
Triilian im and beejive im are using c2dm
hi to all,
when you want to use googles cloud to device messaging ,you must still connected wifi or wakes wifi up when you recieve an message like Googlemail or Trillian Messenger?
thx
p.s.:sry for my bad english

I love google voice, but the only thing that is stopping me from using it as my main number is i dont like using the voice app to text. I do a lot of texting and i like the stock messaging interface (samsung captivate)
I know i can add that "other" number for each contact and that would work, but its really too much work and far from ideal.
anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: ive heard some use Handcent for sms, could it be integrated with this more easily?
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to get the Android to read my emails to me?
I've tried using both Gmail, and the mail application and can't get it to use Text To Speech.
Is this something that needs the application to be specifically designed for TTS, and if so are their any applications around that support it. (Although I find it hard to believe that Google's own flagship mail apps don't.. but I've been known to be wrong before... or so my wife tells me)
Cheers

Guys know a way to use a messenger like for example free text or other one ? Send text over wifi?

You can send texts with the google voice app.
I've started to use an app called KakaoTalk which is similar to whatsapp but this one seems to be free.
It looks awesome on the Transformer's big screen and allows you attach audio, video, pics etc.
Good thing is it is also available on the iphone and you can text iphone users too.
Only downside is you need to convince all your friends to install it on their devices.
You can't download Google Voice from the market, and the normal apk won't work, but this one is modified work in HC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11955195&postcount=75 . All you have to do is sign up for a Google Voice number and you can text all you want. Only real limitations are no international texting (hate that they took that away ...) and no MMS.

My wife has a Atrix, we have a Acer 500 tablet at home and I am getting my Galaxy Nexus Thursday... I want to be able to start doing video calls, what would be the best way to do this? Should I just use Skype?
fyi: we are in canada, if this makes a difference, as I know many google apps dont work the same in Canada as they do in the US.

You could use Skype or Google Talk.
or Google Messenger (multi-party video calls), it comes bundled with Google Plus
Thanks.
I actually just tried this out this weekend... very nice! I thought the hangout feature is useful and nicely implemented.
Mobile hangout is the best option because it works on iphone as well. Also allows for group video chats.
Tango and Fring can both make video calls like Facetime.
My wife and I, use qik video chat. Its decent. But if you want the best nothing tops Google + hangouts.
I have used Fring between Android & iOS devices with no issues at all.
