Android 3.1 will be able to resize widgets natively (though the app/widgets need to be programmed to be able to do so).
3.1 will come to the Transformer soon.

ADW or Launcher Pro allow scaled widgets and seem to cope with my transformer well.
I have used both and have just made a skin to blend with my theme using launcher pro.
Launcher Pro and ADW will get more widgets as they develop and will be made tablet friendly (already are?)
I am sure 3.1 will be nice but I don't think it will be as customisable as these extended launchers
It is frustrating that pulse does not scale better - it will come I am sure
This is what I have done with a couple of the widgets from Launcher Pro
The facebook and twitter widgets are nice too

Where can you get this from? I don't see it on the market or the Dev's site.

Tried looking everywhere for this but cannot find it. Colorize widget exists but it says device not compatible !

Sorry, it appears the Dev took it down.

Oh well. Hopefully it will be released again. Looks like a cool app.

I'm waiting for someone to theme this sucker.

Looks nice but this app is buggy.
1. It's slower than the older market.
2. Only a blank screen when I try to view screenshots in fullscreen mode.
3. Some app descriptions are in chinese even though the same app description is in english in the browser. (eg. Pho.to Lab Pro)

Pulse 360News or Currents?

Gotta cut apps.
I like all these.
If you had to choose 1 which would it be...and why?

I'm digging currents at the moment, but only because it is new. I think I will probably go back to pulse soon if for nothing else than it doesn't depend on publisher formatting to look good, and many of my news sources are not formatted well for currents.
I am off to try News360 since I have not tried it before.

Sorry to give you another option, but I've been using Taptu. You can customize your feeds, it has some curated feeds by subject and you can mix and match feeds under one stream.
I had been using pulse forever, but now Taptu has won me over. Its free

I also use taptu. It's very functional and responsive. I find it better than Pulse and G Currents. Offline reading is also there.

Interface looks good. Wish it would have also synced with google reader

My favourite is Taptu as well. Content refreshes much faster and I can set the background as black against white text.
Currents looked cool for 2 days then I got tired of it.

Wow... Taptu looks fine

It does sync with Google Reader. Go to the stream store and the top right gives you the option to log in to g reader

Does it really sync?
I thought it just pulls the feeds from the google reader but does not sync back to the reader.

I've tried several of these, and am sticking with News360 for the interface and features.

Currents > Taptu > Feedly > Pulse

Mail app and music app

Hello,
I switched from an iPhone and would never switch back, but I was shocked that the stock email app could not zoom out to view a whole HTML mail. First I thought it is a problem with my phone, but google shows me that this is on all phones. I tried kaiten mail, but it has the same problem and additionally an ugly UI. What do you use for your mail?
I use cyanogenmod 10 and it has the Apollo music player instead of the stock one, is it better than the stock or would you recommend the stock one, I assume play music it is called.
Thanks

have you tried this one? I use stock gmail app but in changelog their say about pinch to zoom options, and it has a lot of positive comments

Thanks but sadly the same result, I can zoom in but not out to see the whole message, the same also in kaiten, the paid successor of k9.
Any other hint?
Thanks

Maybe you should wait for contribution from Sparrow team in stock Gmail app I suppose the stock app will change in near future.

Looking for a Fantastical clone!

So after a brief stint with iOS, I'm back using a Nexus as my daily driver. But there's one single, essential iOS app I have yet to find a replacement for.
What makes Fantastical great is having the half month, half agenda view on a single screen. So far, haven't been able to find an Android app that does the same thing. Even tried combining widgets (which would even be ideal), but it's hard to find widgets that size well with the stock launcher.
Am I missing something? Anyone know of any decent alternatives?

DigiCal comes closest, I think, and keeps to Holo design to boot.
