Hey everyone,
I'm going on vacation to the US and for those people in the US, I wanted to know what services you guys use that are exclusive to the US. For example, things like Google Voice, Spotify, Google Muisc aren't available in Canada, so I thought I'd make use of my time in the US and get some of these awesome services. I've already made accounts for Google Voice and Google Music. Is there anything else you guys recommend?

I'd make sure that all your jabs and inoculations are up-to-date :silly:
No offence intended, so please don't take any.
Amazon Instant Video is nice....Oh, and enjoy your stay here on the US!
When life gives you tech....Make use of it.
I use Google voice all the time.
Enjoy you're stay and have fun.

Hey guys has anyone managed to get hold of this yet?
I think it may be an amazing idea. I'd be interested to know if you can make widgets with it too.
What are your views ?

Still waiting on some kind of response as well... I remember when signing up for Voice, it took a month or two to hear back and get the invitation. I'd be interested to know if anyone has actually gotten their hands on the App Inventor yet.
im waiting still too....its nerve racking : D
Same here , lets hope for a mail soon
I'm waiting for the mail too.

Still waiting on my invite. I have a whole bunch of ideas for new soundboards too
No sign of my invite yet either, really looking forward to this.
Just so you guys know, this isn't an app you can pass around. Once you get the invite, its done through HTML5. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you dont get an invite, there will be no way to use it

Yeah we have seen that which is Google all over (the more in the cloud the better) but I have sent for my invite and according to sources they dish them out once a week. So fingers crossed...

I agree but I also think that although there will be a lot of crap there will be some really good stuff. Just that little spark of genius.
And personally I would like to build apps to help me out. Almost like macros.

I think because they are easy to code.
Fortunately I have read the Google faq and the question of apps flooding the market is asked.
This is the answer:
Currently there are technical limitations to being able to upload an App Inventor app to the Andorid Market but we are actively evaluating the best way to integrate with the Market.

Download the source from Google App inventor and find the code that gets detected and change it around a bit.
Thats how most things get past detection.
HOWEVER, I will not do this of course, I am going to use App inventor for personal apps or publish it out of the market.
I have a strange thing how I learn programming, I tend to learn more from examples of code and I have learned LUA(For Gmod) and PAWN(for AMXX) but those are scripting languages.
Some App inventor apps might be worth to be on the market.
There is already lots of messy apps out there but the rating system takes care of that.
I got my invite Monday but haven't got around to trying it out yet, but i don't think you'll be able to make complex apps with this i might take a look at it next week if i get a chance i'll let ya'll know if its really game changing or not .
Here is the app I have but would like something better.
zombiesaresexy.com/Zombie_Android_App/App_1/zombiesaresexy.apk
So I started a site called zombiesaresexy.com and have wanted an app for it from day one.
The site is built on Wordpress and I just want a simple app that pulls in the RSS feeds and allows people to read the full post from the app.
I have tried App Inventor for Android but have no luck making heads or tails of it.
If anyone would want to help out (make it and share with me how its done) or just has a good framework for something like this that would be great.
Really, I have seen a lot of people wanting there own App this just pulls in the RSS from there site so I am amazed there is not a framework so people can just plug and play.
But any help would be great!
Thanks!
Ok, is there anyone that would build on for money?
I don't mind paying for it and would nit mind having adds in the app so your could make money that way to.
Send me a pm if you want the job and give me a price.

There's already tons of apps that can do this, try one of these.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/buzzbox-news-rss-google-reader/com.buzzbox.mob.android.news
http://www.appbrain.com/app/pulse-news-reader/com.alphonso.pulse
Yeah but I am wanting this app to hand out on my site.
How much you willing to pay?
I dont know the time it would take to do this app.
But if its not to hard I will pay $50
If it is something that will take a lot of time and work We can work on the price.
Also to help me keep the cost down I am willing to have the google ads on it. in hopes that who ever makes the app can make a few bucks that way.
Id be glad to help you for free, XDA isn't about paying for service, its about sharing knowledge and helping users
That would be really cool!!
If you check out the .apk I have linked to, I am ok with it being simple as that.
The only things I rally care about is that it has an icon, the app I have now just uses a slandered android icon
And it reading the full post from the app and linking to the post if they want to comment.
There are a few parts to the site.
Main post
stories
video
questions
But all get pulled in with the rss feed
http://zombiesaresexy.com/feed/
So I am not sure if it is just as easy as pulling in the feeds?
Also, I hope to get this on the Android market but it is just something I want to hand out to readers.

If you want to hire a developer to do it, you're probably looking at $1000 or more in the end. $50 doesn't really cut it.
Yeah I got a few quotes and the range was from $700 to $900.
Not really the money I want to spend just for having fun on a site so I thought I would ask here.
If I dont get any where with it I am ok with that and will looking it to making an app on my own latter down the road when I have time to learn what it takes.
But as you can see someone has offered to make me app. So I am happy with that and even tho he said he did not want money for it I will donate something thing.

Really I will pay if someone will make this! I can get it on the market I just need the app made.
Hoping to keep it low and because of that I know it will not look the best. I just want some thing that works.
Thanks

I am willing to help too.
I have been working on an rss reader. Do you still need it?
[turntable.fm]
This has been the recent popular music service... I'm having a great time with it. You have rooms with up to 5 DJs and they play their music while you listen, and you can converse with them, rate them up or down, etc.. It's great fun.
You must either get an invite or be friends with somebody on Facebook who has it. For anybody who wants it and doesn't have a friend with it, add me with a message so I know why.
[facebook]
For anybody who does that or already has this service, please join my room if you enjoy Electronic music. This will be open tonight and I will try to keep it going and will update with new links if needed.

Thanks, and please enjoy!

This would be considered Warez. Even though the app itself if free you have to have a Verizon paid subscription to use it.

I am about to take an abroad trip to central and eastern Europe and I would like to stay in contact with some family and friends here in the states.
I know that CM 10.1 has some issues with VOIP, hence the problem with Tango. but anyway, I would like some advice on what apps would be handy to have while abroad.
I know I can use Facebook to message people, but I don't want to use that. I hate the app honestly. Also, I am aware that I can use Skype to call, but I won't have the time to call people all the time, I would like an app where I can just text just like an SMS.
Additionally, I don't want to buy a SIM card while there because my professors have told us that AT&T does not allow that and I am on a strict budget while abroad.
Thanks for any help and advice y'all can give.

Best apps to have when a broad? I'm not sure they make transvestite-specific apps.
But in all seriousness, I believe there were some recent commits merged to fix VOIP functionality in CM. (I know for a fact Roger_N was posting builds with a VOIP fix in the Project Rookie thread)
I am from Makeevka Ukraine. I have been all around Europe. The best apps that work for me are Viber and Rebtel. I switch back to 4.1.2 when I travel. Viber is free calling and messaging over wifi. Rebtel is free as well over wifi. Whoever you are messaging or calling must have these apps as well. Hope this helps.
