I was searching the Microsoft website for new apps today and found this though it doesn't have a description. Anyone know what it is?

Hello All,
I am a new member and have been lurking here for several weeks trying to learn about the Android tablets and, in particular, the Transformer. This one sounds like the model I want to invest in. I am somewhat on in years so I don't have a lot of the backround knowledge on a lot of the technical types of things I read discussed on this forum so I was wondering if I could ask a favor from the group. One of the main things I want to do with the tablet is read scanned copies of scientific journals, books, magazines, etc. I'm assuming the Transformer can do this easily. However, I also want to read newspapers. I live in the Atlanta area and I subscribe to the Atlanta Journal/Constitution. They have a web-based version which contains the full content of the newspaper. I can read it on my desktop, but I have been unable to load the site on Android demo units at Best Buy (maybe because Flash 10.2 isn't installed?). Could someone try to load a demo of the AJC on their Transformer and tell me if it loads correctly and if you can read the content? The link follows and it is free, requiring no registration.
OK - it appears as a new member I can't enter a link so I'll try to describe it.
the link is e-edition dot ajc dot com. And then click on 'View Demo'.
It is a split screen with kind of a table of contents on the left and the main content on the right. I would be most appreciative if some brave soul could give this a try and report back.
many thanks in advance,
Brian
I wouldnt say the interface was very smooth or anything, but it does work. And the pinch to zoom works too to let you zoom in on the buttons to see them easier. Couple of screenshots attached for you to see. One landscape mode and the other in portrait.
Personally I much prefer PDF files as they work a lot better. But obviously not everything is available as a pdf. There is an app (called PressReader) that lets you subscribe to a huge amount of newspapers included on the transformer, it's not free though, although it does let you test out about 5 copies of papers of your choice first.
Edit: There's a massive list of USA papers and I'm not spending all day looking for the atlanta ones, but a quick search with the search box didnt show up anything with the name "Atlanta" in that app.
Many, many thanks, stuntdouble. I have to admit I was a bit distressed when I couldn't get it to work at Best Buy (I even started looking at iPads). Now I'm sold and will patiently await the next shipment of Transformers.
Another option for your newspaper is to go through PressDisplay. The My Library application included on the TF comes with a 7 day trial. There is also a separate PressDisplay application available in the Market.
I use PressDisplay to read The Washington Post and I really like how PressDisplay makes a full size newspaper work on a 10" screen.
Thanks, Jerirat. It appears the AJC isn't offered by them as yet. Maybe in the future?
AJC is indeed available in the included pressdisplay app.
Hey Brian, I'm in metro Atlanta and read the AJC everyday on the Transformer. It actually looks better to me on the Asus than on my desktop......
ok I just reread ur post and tried the e-edition. at the moment it says the "server application is unavailable"... I'll try again later
Thanks, mb2k. Fool that I am, I was looking under the "A's" in the list for 'Atlanta...' and there it was under 'T' for "The Atlanta..." Should have known <head slap>.
Brian
Thanks, rrushhour - do you use the AJC link or Pressdisplay?
I use the ajc link. As others have said, the e edition does work...just went to it.
Sorry that I had to post here, but I don't have enough posts to post on the other boards.
I was trying to basically get specific links to developing apps for Android, Windows Mobile 7 Live, and iPhone and links for the image requirements
I have two apps that I am interested in developing. One if pretty similar to direct uses to a website to sign in. However I would like to know if it is possibly to have some real estate (preferably at the top) to add a link to my website.
The other, is basically an app to build for my RSS feed to my blog. I would also like to maybe have some real estate at the top to promote my URL. Both apps are free.
From what I have been trying to read, some marketplaces do not charge anything for free apps and some charge something. I was wondering if it might be easier to get a developer that has an account and can develop the app / submit it as well?
Thank you!
I know this might be the wrong place to ask (and any suggestions of a better place would be much appreciated), but I was hoping one of you would be able to help me out.
I've been using the official Twitter client because of it's ability to notify me of individual tweets. Like, when I mark someone with the star and when they tweet, I get an individual notification for each person who's marked with a star.
Now, I haven't been able to find any other client that can or will do this. Fenix will give me one notification with multiple tweets listed, but when I touch it, it just takes me to my general Twitter timeline. I couldn't seem to get the Falcon Pro one to work at all. :-/
Does anyone:
a) know what I'm talking about
b) know of an app that does this besides the default client
c) know if it's possible for an app to do this, or if this is one of those features that Twitter makes impossible for devs
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Lol
Ok xda. Its getting pretty tough to use your website. (without an adbocker that is).
I assume that most of your revenue comes from ads.
However the ad-videos on the desktop site just about slow my browser to a crawl for some reason. Never happens on any other sites.
And now whenever i try to browse xda on my phone's browser i get directed to a fake facebook page that tells me I won a "prize". Just sign your life here!!!
Once im on that page i have to close the window and start over. It has for the most part prevented me from using this site for the last few months.
I cant be the only one getting this.
I understand and am happy to see some adds around. Even if they're overwhelming. As long as they aren't hijacking my browser to the point where i cant use your site.
An adblocker helps (sometimes), but then i cant view the ads that give you your revenue.
It is very counterproductive. I love this site and would like to see it live on. But at this rate the doom is imminent.
If anybody has experienced this and similar please reply.
Thanks and sorry to B!tch...
Literally every other link i click on takes me to a fake prize.
2 words... C'MON!!!!
if you come across any more such ads, please post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696660
let us know which page and what ads you're seeing.
Thanks
