What do you think the best Android iPod touch alternative is? The device would preferably have ICS and a camera.

I would probably say Samsung Galaxy Player 5 or Samsung Galaxy Player 4 depending on which screen size your prefer they have essentially the same specs otherwise. Both have a 3.2 mp camera and while they run gingerbread you can root it and put ICS on it. Most "ipod touch" like android devices other then then the Samsung Galaxy Player series tend to unfortunately be poorly made, and laggy and buggy as hell. The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0 forums would probably be a good place to start.
And this guide should be a big help:

Sony Live With Walkman? 720p vid 5mpx cam 1ghz proccessor has ICS Bravia Engine..
you could just get a nexus s 4G with a bad ESN with the ICS update

Is it possible or legal for someone to rip the media player from the galaxy s, I hear its the best one on any phone at the minute especially as it plays every format that's used nowadays and stock Android is in last place for video playback out of the box.

I'm not possible but if you look in the roms section for the samsung vibrant or just galaxy s I believe there are rips of the .apk files that are initially on the device
their links to fileshares like 4shared and what not but I think that they have what you want

2.3 is required for use of the FRONT camera. It will work on 2.2 ONLY utilizing the back camera, which makes it diificult to have a video conversation.
I've been doing the skype mod to support more froyo FFCs even before Skype released version 4.1.0.46 that officially supports 2.2 devices. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285
I have a problem making the Optimus 3D FFC work and it's kind of hard to understand how to setup it up correctly. If is there is anyone who has an idea or know how to make the correct way of switching the camera (or better has the code), I'd be happy to add it to my mod so you can make use of your FFCs.

Try to update the version of skype on the other end. If that doesn't fix the problem, send me the logcat and I'll try to look at it.

the other end is fine, just installed today from Market (Xperia Mini Pro) and also tried calling my work PC (front and back camera's), tried rebooting phone etc
here's the log: http://db.tt/XHw83et
I've noticed screen rotation has stopped working on my phone since I installed Launcherplus yesterday, wonder if that's a problem? (altering the setting does nothing!) - [edit] just gone back to LG launcher but it still doesn't work
work for my O3D
thanks
I love my Nexus S phone but it's almost the only Android phone being sold today without HD video. The camera's resolution should support 720p video (as the Galaxy S), and the problem is the lack of support for HD video by the native Android operating system.
Now, that the Galaxy Nexus will support 1080p video recording with a native Android, do you think the Nexus S will get it too?
No. our hardware is limited.

This is a question I am very interested in hearing the answer to as well. It would he nice to see HD video capabilities as well as the super fast shutter speed be provided by the OS to the Nexus S and not a hardware exclusive feature of the Galaxy Nexus.
It would also be nice if the update to ICS fixed the screen burn in on my phone caused by the notification bar.

Have you tried fast burst camera in the market? Just until we get ICS. Works very well
Not even 720p?
i recall the nexus s not getting 720p recording due to codecs
Nexus s is not doing 720p video. It is not a limatation with the os.
Search the forum if you want a detailed reason why.
Yes. Do a search. It is a hardware limitation, not software.
Nexus s camera sensor is different than galaxy s sensor because they needed the extra space in the phone casing for the NFC hardware in our phone. The sensors are physically differant. The pics are around here some where if you search for it. It shows both camera sensors to compare.

So that means the Nexus brand will always have a lesser camera
The Nexus One had a 5MP at launch with no HD video at launch.
The Nexus S still have a 5MP camera with no HD
No, the Galaxy Nexus still have a 5MP camera when everybody else use a 8MP camera.
I can't understand why google equip their flagship phones with relatively crappy cameras

Ahh you are falling foul of the MP myth dude, MPs are a size issue so unless you are printing posters then its not the MPs but the sensor too. You could have a 12mp camera with a ****ty sensor and an 8 mp with a good one and it will take the better picture. It is also dependent on the cameraman too of course.

Hi,
I have recently purchased a new NEXTBOOK Premium 8 it doesn't give me the option to set a static ip on this device.
On all other devices that are running ics the option in modify network displays show advanced options but on this nextbook you don't have those options.
Could someone tell me whether I need to root this device to get this functionality?
or if there is another way around this issue.
many thanks

Afternoon all.
Recently got an upgrade and since I wasnt to fussed on the S5 I decided to get a Xperia Z1. .
Bad choice since id gotta used to samsung from S2 owned all S devices. . .so luckily i was given the chance to swap the xperia to a lovely note 3 
I really like it and since the specs dont differ much from the upcoming S5 ( camera slighty better and 2.5 ghz instead of notes 2.3) its a good choice i feel.
What i have noticed is the pixel density is lower from S4 and S5 but i really dont see it the difference in fact the note 3 screen seems better?
Anyway sorry for long intro but when i play HD youtube or even the HD helicopter video included on phone i cant help but think the HD isnt as clear or good as the S4 . .
Could that be the pixel density or something else?
Cheers guys

Youtube hd videos are highly compressed. So quality isnt that great

HD on Youtube isn't really HD. It's 'close enough to fool everyone who can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080'.
They've compressed the video so tightly it' s become blurry. You don't notice it on an s4 because the screen is much smaller.

The S4 or S5 have the same screen resolution as the note 3 but are considerably smaller in screen size. As the picture is spread out there will be some slight degradation in hd quality but not so noticeable as to be called bad...
