I like flipbook on my Android phone, because in collects and mixes popular news coming from different sources like twitter, facebook, news feeds, ..
It's also very fast and has a decent layout.
But its not available for Android tablets ;-(
I tried Currents, Pulse and Tapto, but all lack the possibility to mix social feeds and news feeds.
Any alternatives?
feedly is a very nice app for on the tablet.
However I don't know if you can mix social and news feeds. I just use it for RSS.
It is called Flipboard not Flipbook.
That may explain why you can't find it.
Because as you can see in this video it works for the tablet:

indeed, wrong naming, I'll update the post.
I had a look at the video: it's not available in the play store, but I found and installed the apk: it works but is not usefull as explained in the video: only optimized for phones, not tabets.
tnx anyway!
Yeah there is no landscape mode implemented.
But maybe you are lucky contacting them and asking for one.
I barely got my infinity yesterday and was too disappointed flip board wouldn't download from the play store... So I did a search on this fine Site... "flipboard for android" and found the apk... So now I'm using that just something to think about

Hi-
I have been trying to find a good way to view magazines on the Gtab. I tried the zinio app discussed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=82756) and could not view magazines. The app would run and I could d/l a magazine but the pages came out blank. It also crashes when the Gtab is in landscape mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I use world newspapers. It only has the web magazine, but its better than nothing.
Thanks- will give that a try. I wonder if the app from the nook color would work on the gtab? It is kinda amazing that electronic magazine distribution has not been standardized yet.
To answer my own question this works well for me. Text could be clearer but it works

Those who used Windows Mobile will remember TCPMP/Coreplayer. I've seen no media player come close to the vast amounts of formats this program played and also all the formats it would stream. Maybe when the VLC port is complete we will have a contender.
Actually none. OP: Temple Run comes to Android in 27th March(it's confirmed now)

touchdown is a pretty good exchange client (i used wm6.5 before so i can compare), the only thing that bothers me a bit is that it's not integrated into the phone properly (e.g. edit contacts etc)
Draw Something came to Android, so
I really want to see a way to add apps to a wishlist like the Amazon appstore. It must be a shame to see a competitor make a better appstore than you and they don't even develop. Amazon is the best.
And Android Market was just find, why Play with it
One thing that I seem to be missing in the marketplace is apps that does live-streaming of video, the latest to be added to the list is the MLB app that has audio-streaming, but no video streaming of live games, so is it WP that doesn't support this, or is it the developers that doesn't want to?
Live streaming from or to the device? Otherwise there doesn't seem to be an issue with live streaming to the device. Considering a number of RDC's use similar features. No clue about streaming from the device though.
Stream to the device, take my MLB example: At Bat 12 for Android and IOS can show live gamestreams , but WP7 can not. (And the WP one is even more expensive, but that's another case). An then there is sites such as Ustream, justin.tv etc that doesn't seem to be available on the platform.
If I remember there was a 3rd part Ustream app, but watching livestreams didn't work.

What is the "live gamestreams"? If you mean "live sport game events": WP7 can perfectly stream live video; but seems like a content providers don't care much about WP7 support.
Yeah, livestreaming of games, thanks I guess we just have to put some preassure on the developers then.
I've been looking for an app that does this for me as well, mainly for gaming content. There are quite a few out there that seem to be able to stream live video content, like the RedBullTV app and I believe there's a Youtube Live app as well, so with my limited developing-knowledge, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
FlashVideo For WP7 has recently added support for several "Live Video" sites, mostly sports at the moment though. Not sure if this specific update has hit marketplace yet, but the changelog are up on his site. Can't link a source due to low post-count, but it can be found if you look up the app in the marketplace.
I've been briefly corresponding with the developer as well, asking if he would add support for justin/twitch.tv and own3d.tv, and I believe he would seriously look into it, but it seemed to something that would be added in the future because the sites "have many protections", in his own words.
Guys, as I've said before: technically it's very possible, not a big problem, live streaming are perfectly supported by WP7 (via MS Smooth Streaming technology etc.). The big problem is CONTENT. Nobody will develop app to play stolen content - for ethical reason or because app will be banned from the mp shortly. So direct your questions to your sports channel providers...

What of sites like Justin.tv who seem to encourage people to make use of their tech for own applications?
We believe that the future of video is live. Our API enables you to use Justin.tv's infrastructure, for free, to easily power live video in your own applications.

I can't link to the source directly but it can be found if you go to justin.tv and click on API at the very bottom.

Again, my knowledge of development in general is very limited, so I have no real idea what the significance of this is... Would be grateful if someone could enlighten me and if it could mean the possibility of a third-party app?
Thanks.
This topic is about professional sport events live video streaming. I don't understand why did you mention justin.tv...

From what I gathered, OP was asking about live-streaming apps for WP7 in general and he also brought up both Ustream and Justin.tv in another post so I figured it was relevant to the discussion.
Is there any significant difference between "professional sport event live video streaming" and services like Ustream and Justin.tv? The latter have provided streams for sport and competitive events in the past as well, and continues to do so.
Nope, you are wrong. He wants to have "livestreaming of games". I don't watch games but I'm pretty sure there are no free live broadcasting of the Red Sox or Bruins games on Ustream and Justin.tv, for example.
P.S. 2 OP: you should mark your question as answered 'cause WP can handle live streams. Your second question "why I can't find app/service for that" is a different question
Fair enough! I guess this is what confused me...
An then there is sites such as Ustream, justin.tv etc that doesn't seem to be available on the platform.

Regardless, I guess it's a discussion for another thread. Thanks for your clarification regarding live streaming and WP7, it's something I've been wondering about as well!
And again, to OP, the developer for FlashVideo for WP7 has stated that he will add support for several "live sports streaming sites", I don't know if there is anything of interest to be found there but still worth a mention I feel.
By the way, as for temporary solution you may use Skype and broadcast live event yourself from the home PC equipped with video capturing board and connected to your cable box
i've found a few...share them people

Nice j dee! I hate it when my youtube shuts off in the gym. Can't leave the screen on and put it back in my pocket
Come on peeps keep em coming. I like the list so far. It's small and precise not large and burgeoning. Let's go over something very relevant: STREAMING from your HD
Jbeans 4.2 Camera- Full Screen Camera (compared to 4.1.2) and gallery you could flash for your 4.1.2 phone
Mediahouse Player- An organized app that collects all the shared music videos off of shared directories on your computer use in conjunction with. Allows you to favorite directories/devices. Really neat app
mx player- easy ui can easily disable/enable hardware software encoding for audio and video during play
v player- like mxplayer, could be better with UI, but unlike MX player allows you to set buffer to a whopping 8mb...so longer initial load for video but plays back perfectly otherwise
ES file explorer- save network drives
I usually make the default player for ES v player and for media house mx player. Good setup. Mx Player allows you to manage defaults for video players in-app too. Another neat feature. Well worth the money for that app.
From the computer end there are a lot of options to stream (I made a post about this a while back...search on me) but I like PS3 Media server 1.70.1 for my PS3. It allows for real-time transcoding for devices where your video format (ie mkv) isn't available. I also install TVersity server on my computer end and both servers as well as the raw files allow me to wirelessly stream every tv show except for planet earth which has a ridiculous bitrate.
Only other thing to worry about on the computer end is to make sure your sharing settings etc are set up as openly as possible. I have a homegroup password and everyone in it is allowed to at least read my directories
Hey zetsui,
sure, I love my HOX and GNEX phones (by now even more than my PC) and why not participate in sharing cool underdog apps?
Is that Mediahouse player the one you can download from the Play Store? Sounds pretty usable to me

Way better than stock audio recorder. Can record as mp3 at 128kbit/s, good enough for me. Of course, you can increase it. Can record as ogg too.

Might be popular, but worth a mention anyway. Fast, free, full of useful features, no ads... Did I mention the slick ui?
Cpu adjuster

Like setcpu, but free. You can have 3 profiles in the free version. Ought to be good enough for beginners.

I just happened to update the pluto.tv app today. I happened to notice on the Leanback launcher that there was a "Live Channels" icon/banner. When I started "LIve Channels", it gave me the option to include pluto.tv as a source for channels! I looked at the Google I/O schedule and apparently this will be discussed this "feature" tomorrow. This gives me hope for the future of Android TV!

Awesome! Cord cutters rejoice.
Endgadget did a quick blurb about it. Looks like early content providers include: "AOL, Bloomberg, TED, The Huffington Post, Pluto, Vevo and European streaming video service Zattoo."
I wouldn't mind if Hulu, CBS News, & some of the other networks built on top of this platform...
I just tried it today with Pluto and I think it just blew my mind with what I suddenly realised was possible with this framework. It does turn a app into an almost TV watching like experience. Just need more apps to now take advantage of it.
Edit:
I notice I have Ted, Vevo and the Huffington Post but none of these are options to add to Live channels. Can't find Zattoo on the Nexus player even though I am in the UK and it has a troubleshooting page on their website.
Wasn't it like that before? not on nexus but on my forge I could select HDhomeRun View to select my source for live-tv channels.
I didn't see any update to Live Channels app I think it was like that already.
I love the overall concept but I hope they improve the stability of Live Channels. Right now Live Channel stutters when changing Pluto TV "Channels."
I am really tempted to pick up an HDHomeRun Extend so I can add real channels meshed with internet based channels.
In the ideal world, I would love to have SlingTV, CBSNews, WatchESPN, FoxSportsGo, & potentially other services like Hulu & USA integrate into live channels. This way, I have one channel "guide" to view all the "channels."

Can you launch videos through the actual pluto app or do you not get any videos their either?
Videos played through the app work fine, just not in the channels icon.
I've heard that a new firmware is imminent for it, maybe that will be based on 5.1 and will fix my casting and this streaming channel problem.
Can the live channels app be ported to mobiles? Been looking for an epg that uses iplayer uktvplay itvhub etc so you can click whatevers on and it opens instead of having to look through all the afromentioned apps.
