I noticed that a lot who people who see the Transformer for the first time are curious about what it's capable of. Now I just randomly click some apps and hope for their approval.
Therefore I would like to make some sort of list with apps that are graphically nice and show one or more of the strengths of the Transformer. With that list we can show our magic device to the world in under 5 minutes and encourage other people to get one as well or at least favor Honeycomb over iPad ;-)
If you know some apps or features that are really nice, let me know so I can add them to the list! I'll update it on regular basis.
Youtube HC-version
The wall looks really nice and uses the full width of the screen.
Gun Bros
Fun game that shows visual power and easy to play and understand
Stock browser
Going to (for example) Engadget shows that browsing is just like a computer with tabs and Flash etc. but with tablet-additions of thumbnavigation and pinch-to-zoom.
Gmail
It demos how easy it is to use the TF in landscape and you can go over your mail with your left and right hand combined.
Google Docs app
The TF (with docking even extra) is also very usable for school and office purposes. Docs also emphasizes the use of clouds and gives an opportunity to show the on-screen/docked keyboard.
10 finger multi-touch drawing app?
I checked most of the drawing apps, but they all don't seem to support 10 point multitouch. Anybody knows a hidden gem of that kind? Sketcher does not support multi-touch, but is really fun with resulting in acceptable drawings.
Movieplayer
Since Youtube can get laggy on fullscreen HD, a movie with the right profile (Handbrake settings) lets you demo the high quality of the screen but also the nice viewing angels on the IPS-panel.
Google Skymap
App shows you a map of the sky (duh!) but uses the compass and gyro to do sort of augmented reality.
Pulse News
Nice customizable news reader that uses the full size of the screen with the navigation left and the article right. Portrait also has a slick interface.
If you have some suggestions for the list, don't hesitate to post!
Reddita!!!!!!! Best bathroom reading experience ever. Plus it's developed by one of our own here
Google Skymap
Dungeon Defenders HD
Qbism HD
n64oid with wiimote control
Mylibrary
Mycloud (esp. splashtop remote desktop)
Sketcher (awesome drawing app, not multitouch though)
Google Earth
Google Books
Camera
Video Chat with Google Talk
Tank Hero
PewPew
Angry Birds
Feedly
Fruit Ninja THD
Taptu
Pulse News
Plex
IMDB
Dungeon Defenders: FW Deluxe
PewPew 2
Zenonia 2
ScummVM
Splashtop
Thanks for the suggestions.
I've added Google Skymaps, it shows a great use of the compass and gyro. Also added Pulse News since it has some nice effects to it. Plus it's easy to keep up with the news!
(Google Books is disabled in NL but would be a nice addition to show e-reading use. Also Google Talk video would be nice but not available for most handset devices)
Art of Glow is a great drawing app that looks awesome. It does have multi touch input (I've only used up to 5 fingers at one time though)
Just on some of the games in this thread like gun broad,which version works best with the TF,seen that some download orbs tablets version or even some mobile phones versions?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but just always take the tablet version. Gun Bro for example downloads additional resources for the setup and I guess there already the tablet is differentiated from mobile phones.
Art of Glow seems like a fun app, but I get fc's when I try to use more then three fingers...
I agree with the above.
Add Google Body in there too if you're into the allied health or medical field. Though there's the occasional force close when you have too many apps open, it works flawlessly when it's the only app open.
samurai 2 vengance,monster madness and HD solitare look outsounding on the e PAD just download them and they run great,and sketcher is brilliant fun and good to show it off
I tried Phone My PC and it's a lot better than splashtop. I know splashtop is free but this other app is pretty cool if you can afford the luxury. So forget my suggestion beforehand.
I brought my transformer over to my parents house to "show off" to my brother who is a huge Apple fan who is into gaming.
I've never been so embarassed!!! There just aren't any real quality games on Android.. the ones that I thought were great (reckless racing, dungeon defenders, gun bros) are all on ipad, but he was showing me awesome game, after awesome game on his Ipad 2 - maybe two dozen!!! And don't even get me started on ipad apps... they just blow away anything on android.
I'm glad my wife has an ipad, so I can use that for games at least... marble mixer, jenga, dark space and a few other fantastic casual games are all on there - until Android steps up it's game.. the moral of the story is : don't try to show off in front of an ipad user! LOL

Yes, the last update for phonemypc put it into the top. Not even the $30 logmein app (which I sadly dished that much money for) isn't even as good now.

Took my TF to work to show to coworkers. Many were not impressed with it since they had iPads for work (including myself). I popped out the docking station, docked it, showed off by typing in polaris office, and closed the dock/keyboard to show how much it looks like a netbook. Their jaws literally fell on the floor. I said "Try that on an iPad".

You got it right. I have this vision that the first Transformer availability problems will be dwarfed by the second round of shortages due to folks who actually get to see the TF in action, and realize this is a revolutionary product, which has no parallel in the marketplace, at least for now. Glad to hear that you managed to generate a little TF lust among your coworkers. Good work.
I think somebody ought to do a How-To video on demonstrating the TF to its best advantage.

That just made my day!
iPads are great for games, it's undisputed.
for me the best way to impress is just to take it out of the box, and get all your contacts and apps on your transformer without plugging it to a computer - for free.
but there are a lot of things that you can't do on an iPad too: emulating a web server, DLNA, pulse, google docs - documents syncing across phone, computer and tablet in real time, hell even the CNN app is awesome.
but what really shines is probably the robustness of the OS, customization of homescreens, and true multi-tasking!
Added the drawing-app Sketcher which creates actually pretty nice drawings. I did find SuperPaint (lite) that supports multi-touch but isn't really slick looking or fun to use. Isn't there a developer that wants to make some money or a much wanted app?
Also: Caustic Demo - it's a seriously impressive music-making app
I was thinking about getting a tablet for all the typical tablet stuff (music, light browsing, videos, etc) but the TF300 made me think twice, since the keyboard and USB port means I could emulate old computers/games on it. Has anyone tried it with these uses and is it any good/fun?
And don't worry, I plan to wait until after Google I/O before making a decision on what to buy.
Works great for PSX, N64 and older Emu's... I am using FPSE to play PS1 games and EMU64 for Nintendo 64 games. So far most run really well. I also found a cool little app called BTController that will allow my Android phone to become the controller for the Emu's.. It's cool because there are different skins for the type of controller you need at the time. Check it out
I also use my TF300 for old games. I use my Wii controllers with nunchuck for N64 and SNES games, you can also use PS3 and 360 controllers. A really sweet setup is multiplayer 007 on my big HDTV via a HDMI cord and the ability to connect 4 controllers!
^^
Hmmm, I was running 007 on the tf300 and it was chugging hard through the campaign. Are you running stock?
Works great for all emulators and the higher resource ones like N64oid, FPse and MAME Reloaded
BTW, all three of those leverage the gpu to some degree, so the TF700 will probably be significantly slower, since a 23% clock increase will not compensate for a 130% increase in pixels to push.

Try overclocking, and disabling both sound and fog in the emulator (I haven't really decided on the difference fog makes, there's pro's and cons for the framerate)
I was thinking over overclocking, but I've read in other threads that it doesn't actually do anything unless you change the kernel, which I have no idea how to do.
But I'll def check out taking fog off. TY.
Edit: Tried this and somehow it worked better. Not perfect but def better. TY.

Anyways, I'll be downloading this asap and I'll let everyone know if Xperia Play support is still available in this release and how well it works.

No, it's not been improved any, from what it was.
Well, I hadn't played the JP version but I can say the Play controls work well enough but the lag is **** awful. Messing with settings right now but even no sound and low resolution don't seem to do the trick.
Would certainly not recommend this at $9.00. If you have an overclocked device give it a go but I can't find a way to make it run like anything but ass on stock.
Holy ****! Wish there was a demo to try.

Game runs fine here on stock GB, sim free, rooted uk R800i, no lag, no sound issues, looks, plays and sounds as good as the DC original.
Slide the pnone open and you can use the D-Pad, and screen buttons or mix it up and use touch for move, and physical buttons.
Dunno what your issues are, but it's fine here.
Maybe reboot your device, or clear some crap from your phone/check whats running when the game is played..
And run G-Gee offline, that's more bother than it's worth.
I bought the Japanese version, which sits at game version 1.0.0, same as the Western version, it's just the G-Gee programme that was updated, not the game with the recent update a couple of days ago/Western Release.
Not ideal but playable on my xplay, levels work great, but some slowdown during the first two bosses.
Perspective is very disorienting

Cook, but a couple of inconsistencies with your review(on your site).
The ships are white and black, not red and blue, same with bullets(although the black bullets do have a red.hue to them).
And please don't mention the Gamecube version, it was an abomination, IMO.
It may be a shooter, in the sense you shoot things, but it's more of a bullet ballet, and memory game, as knowing where and when to chain, is vital, for a decent score/decent game, with attack patterns and boss patterns having to be foremost to enjoy the game.
Also, as you know, the game is available around the world, so you don't need market enabler any more to buy it.
And if you play with the network disabled/internet off, G-Gee doesn't hinder gameplay, and you get a screen that you just press the "Play" button to get to the game.
EspGaluda II and DoDonPachi Resurrection are another two titles worthy of your money, to add to your shooter collection, BTW.
Cool, thanks for the feedback. I made the video review a while ago for another site but it was never used. I decided to branch out on my own and I needed a starter article while I work on other aspects of the site so I threw that up real quick. Of course that very day the Global version comes out, I figured it would be best to leave the references in there seeing as how it was the japanese version I originally reviewed. I probably should update it though.
Well hopefully someone gets a video of it running on the Play because even after a clean reboot it runs terrible on my device. How do you run G-Gee offline btw?

Brian, click on Legion's link to his site..he has it running on Android in the video in his review, it's not a Play it's on, but that's how mine runs, smooth, no lag, and plays just fine with the D-Pad slid out, and using the onscreen buttons for fire/change, and laser.
As to G-Gee, Just disable your wifi or your data connection.
Start Ikaruga, the G-Gee screen appears, and it should then go to a blank screen, with something like "Network Error", or "No Network", in the middle, with a logo top left, and as *mine is the Japanese version*, on the top right, I assume it says "Play Game",
Hit that, game starts, and to end it, long press on the back button and select Exit.
This, and DoDonPachi Resurrection, and EspGaluda II all run fine offline with wifi/network disabled.
In the video it runs quite a bit better than it does on my device but there is still a lot of choppiness. I'd love to see that same phone playing level 5 since each level (due to the increasing amount of enemies) runs slower and slower for me. Either way, if mine ran as well as the device in the video I'd probably be a lot less angry but I still wouldn't call it a great or even good port.

I't's the same as the original version, so I wonder how could it be any more towards "good"?
Ok sure. That is a Galaxy S3 right? It does not perform to my liking on an incredibly high end phone even though the hardware is more than capable had more work been put in to the port. JSR, Expendables, Crazy Taxi on the i-products have all translated well to newer devices (not using the Play as a benchmark here, keep in mind). It is a $9.00 application that is attached to a social networking program, something which I find very irritating. There are no game-play limitations like you would have in Ikaruga for the DC or GC since the game defaults to free-play with a level selector. Changing resolution settings and turning sound off does very little to help with performance which screams of bad port. When playing at the lowest settings the frame-rate becomes incredibly jerky since the game does not have a very good frame limiter. DDP and Espgaluda 2 both worked great on my device but this port clearly has not received as much love.
Works relatively well in my one x, it jinks a bit here and there, but it's mostly very playable.

It performs just fine on Xperia Play, so something must be wrong at your end, either bloatware on your phone, or your operator rom/custom rom is rubbish, something interfering with it like apps/software running, or your memory card is either fragmented, or just plain slow.
I use a 32gb class 10 card, stock uk r800i sim free, no bloatware, rooted, a couple of sound mods edited build.prop, and nothing else.
Once you get past the "social networking" programme, the game itself runs directly from the SD card, hence the 170+meg download, it doesn't run from the phone, the .apk that is a couple of megabytes is G-Gee's app, with a link to the game.
The ports fine, it's designed for touch phones/tablets, what more do you expect?
The chaining/gameplay is something that was intended to use buttons and a stick, not swipe controls and 3 areas of touch for fire/lock on/change, but with the phone open the D-pad works well, and the on screen buttons work fine for their purpose.
As to free play, how many people do you imagine want to sit for 10+ hours or whatever it was to unlock things, and up their credits, like the original.?
You don't have to continue, you don't have to pick other levels other than the first, but for those who do, who maybe never unlocked everything, or can't/don't play for hours, it's perfect.
As to your earlier slowdown point, you are aware the original version had deliberate slowdown, and this is present in this version also, which leads me to think this is closer to the original version more so than the 360 ports new coding.
The only thing this version is missing is Shinra walking towards Ikaruga, on the startup screen.
And as to DoDonPachi, and EspGaluda, they're not on par with what ikaruga is, as it's full 3d rendering, etc is hardly a patch on 2d spritesm even though there is a ****load going on..heck some emulated old titles fling around similar amounts of bullets, and sprites.
save backup
can anyone provide a titanium backup for ikaruga 13.01.01 i was playing this game yesterday but after opening the game again game screen just went black i dunno what happened . .tried reinstalling but still the same. thought maybe because my phone is rooted or something. i will try your titanium backup file and see if this solves my problem :/
Just to confirm: is the game Xperia Play optimized? Or do you have to use gamekeyboard?
Your Android phone isn't just for widgets, talking, Google Now and photos. It can also be one of the world's best gaming platforms, if you're willing to spend a little time on it.
Once the domain of tinkerers and super-nerds, Android devices have exploded in popularity over the last couple of years, spurred on by the emergence of superphones like the Samsung Galaxy S 4, HTC One and Google's own Nexus 4.
Despite this increase, there remains the perception that - at least in terms of gaming - Android phones are somehow a step behind the iPhone. That things like piracy, a lack of apps and convoluted system specs are hindering the development of games on the platform.
I'm here to tell you this is bull****. Chances are that if you own an Android phone, and picked it up within the last 18 months, you've got in your pocket a silent killer in terms of portable gaming.
Below you'll find four steps you can follow to turn that humble little smartphone into something a little more gamey.
1. USE GOOGLE PLAY
Well, duh. But if you're a new user, or someone contemplating making the switch, this is important.
Android users have a bad reputation for pirating software, including games, and in many ways that's a fair assumption. Pirating games for the platform is way too easy.
Don't be that guy.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You'll even find some hot exclusives. Kairosoft's entire catalogue of addictive-as-hell management games is on the Play Store, for example, while only a handful have ever made it to the App Store.
Seriously, there are enough quality games on there already that we could end the guide right here and you'd be set. Luckily, we're not ending the guide here.
Those remaining developers who either delay bringing their games to Android, or don't do it at all, usually cite piracy as one of the big concerns. The more people actually pay for apps and games on Android, the more of these developers will be encouraged to bring their wares to the platform. So do it.
2. GO RETRO
Let's say you want to play something more substantial than most mobile titles can offer. Or a classic game from your childhood that, for better or worse, isn't available on the Play Store. The great thing about Android phones is that you can still play these games, and it's a lot easier - and more legal - than you might think.
Two of the most popular means of running old PC games on modern systems - DOSBox (for old DOS games) and ScummVM (for old adventure games) - both have versions available for Android devices.
Before we go any further, then, you're going to need install these three applications:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ScummVM for Android
DOSBox Turbo for Android
DOSBox Manager
.
What DOSBox Manager does is let you create a quicklaunch screen for the games, so instead of having to enter command prompts every time you want to play a game (which is normally how DOSBox works), you just tap some box art, same as a regular app/game.
If you need help using DOSBox Turbo and/or getting your games running, the best place to start is the app's site, which has helpful (and easy to understand) walkthroughs and guides.
ScummVM is an easier proposition, but if you have trouble setting it up, the official guide gives you a great walkthrough on getting set up.
A word of caution, though: be careful which games you bring over. Your phone has limited inputs, most likely just a touchscreen, so trying to play a fast-paced RTS or shooter might not be the best idea. Slower, mouse-driven genres like adventure and turn-based strategy are a good place to start.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unless, that is, you want to...
3. GET A CONTROLLER (OR USE A MOUSE)
It sounds crazy, I know. Buying an external controller for your phone defeats the entire point of playing games on a portable device. But the fact of the matter is, as phones become more powerful, phone games become more powerful, and it's a tragedy that people try to play something like Real Racing using touchscreen or tilt controls. Stick a pad on there and some of these newer games will feel like a console game, instead of just looking like one.
There's also the benefit it brings to the retro games you'll be playing. Use a gamepad and suddenly all those amazing old shooters are playable. Connect a bluetooth mouse to your phone and anything you can't play with a pad, you can probably play with it.
Doing this is pretty simple; provided they don't need drivers, Android natively supports bluetooth peripherals, including keyboards, mice and control pads. It'll even display a mouse cursor if it detects one. Just find your phone's bluetooth settings and pair it up.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To save you buying a gamepad, there's an app that lets you connect a PS3 pad to an Android device (though note: your phone needs to be rooted for this to work). Alternatively, you can sync a Wii Remote, since it also connects via Bluetooth (and can be configured with this app).
Again, this might sound crazy since you can do this a lot more easily on a regular computer, but consider this: old PC games weren't designed to run on giant 23" desktop monitors. You either stretch their visuals until they look like garbage, or run them in a window.
Phone screens, though, are at the cutting edge. Relatively tiny yet packing amazing colours and now sometimes even 1080p resolution, they breathe new life into your old games. Trust me, fire up something like Colonization or X-Com on a contemporary phone and it'll look better than ever.
4. GET A BIGGER BATTERY (OR BATTERY PACK)
The one major downside to the crop of modern Android smartphones is that, almost to the last, they've got terrible battery life. Most can barely last a single day, even with infrequent use. If you're planning on playing a game at home, that's not a problem, but let's be honest, how often will you be playing a phone game at home?
Running 3D graphics - or even just leaving a big bright screen on for long stretches - will kill your battery. So if you're serious about gaming on your Android phone, you should think about getting a bigger battery (if your phone supports removable batteries) or an external battery case/charging pack (if it doesn't).

5. SIGN UP TO ONLIVE
It's easy to forget about the company these days after all the problems it went through last year, but streaming service OnLive is still around, and it works on Android devices. Your mileage may vary depending on your device - it's more suited to tablets than phones - but if you've got a gamepad solution for your phone, and your connection is fast enough to pull it off, you can play all kinds of games that would normally never be available on the platform..

I don't think it's XPO, but it's definitely worth playing even with the touch screen
Noticed this on playstore yesterday and it looked interesting. Its not XPO at all but still a fun free game.

Maybe we should email the devs for xperia play optimization? I think it could work quite well with our touchpads (not for block placements), it would justify a purchase for me.
I cant see this game working well with any controller. I have played the PC version to death and it needs a mouse to point and click. Controllers (sticks/touchpads) wont be the same.
If you think it would be, you havnt played the PC version! The precision for some weps you need cant be done with a stick, and digging will be more cumbersome than point what you want to get rid of including blocks behind blocks.
Touchscreen controls I can see working better than a controller due to the reasons I said above, but on a small screen its horrible. I played this on my Note 10.1 and I gotta say its better, but horrible.. it needs a mouse and keyboard :/
Just my two cents ^^

I have the PS3 version of Terraria, there isn't much precision as you said, but it's still fun and playable, especially with multiplayer with friends. The controls for the XPlay could be similar to the PS3's, if it does get XPO'd.
