Stumbled across this gem when looking for cool apps to install on the Nexus Player. The price is a bit steep for an app but you get some fun party game like You Don't Know Jack and Fibbage. It seems to have a few connection issues with mobile phones but hopefully they get all the kinks fixed soon. Not sure how anyone is supposed to find it though; It's not listed in the Nexus Player app store. I can't link to it since I mainly lurk and never post but it's 'The Jackbox Party Pack' in the Play Store.
I love ydkj, thanks!

Hi,
Just wanted to let you all know about this app that I found..
It's basically Scrabble.. it's called "Words with Friends"..
You can play "locally" - with someone in the same room..
Or you can play over the air, by registering an account with your email address, and getting your friends to do the same, you can play against them, wherever they are, at your own pace..
it's mutli-platform too (I've been playing against my Sister - who has an iPhone 4, and my daughter - who has an iPod.. and my Wife - who has a HTC Legend)
It's really slick and works a treat.. only problem is that it's so damned addictive, that you end up with your screen on loads and that kills the battery!
I currently have the free edition, but think I might invest in the full version cos the ads are a bit irritating.
Try wordfeud, I personally found that to have a better UI (Its only for android afaik)
What exactly do u mean locally??
via BT or wifi....or online?
i think hes prob on about locally as in just passin the phone about to mates when its ther turn?
Love it and its multiplatform so more people

I am seriously considering buying a Galaxy Tab in the next couple of weeks (the prices have fallen fast, and I'm not sure I want to jump on honeycomb while the apps aren't yet mature, and while the tabs are still expensive).
But the performance of two (FREE!) apps is very important to me:
ESPN Cricinfo
ATP/WTA Tennis Live Scoring App
Would someone be so kind as to try them out and tell me how they function? They are free and I would be very grateful.
Thank you!
I just installed both apps and they seem to work ok.
Clicked around alittle, started a video, listened to a stream. Every thing looks ok.
try 4shared.. its pretty cool

So, i cam across this on a tech for old people article of cnet, of all places. but i was looking at it, and i'm curious about it. it looks like it could be a fun thing to tinker with, but is that even possible? It says it runs froyo, can't be too crippled because it has a web browser. Only has "AppsLib" tho, not the market.
Also i can't seem to find it anywhere online >_<
EDIT: wait a sec, has this thing even been released yet?
be honest I was looking at picking one of these up myself. The prospect of running Google music (I did get into that beta) and having access to all my music seems good. Alarm clock functions are also a plus. I imagine it will be root-able and someone will make a g-apps package for it. It has a front facing cam as well so it could possibly run skype, qik, etc. or if 2.3.4+ was installed, Google talk. The Chumby folks also released an android app that emulates a chumby device fully and connects to their services so you could use this as a chumby / Sony dash.
Once you have appslib, just download arctools and ta-dah! Instant LATEST market. As for being rootable, I think any Archos is. The only problem the 35 HC may have is lack of RAM/a slow processor...

Buy the 35hc perhaps as a toy and all is fine. basic email,fring,games. Please don't expect miracles. It's like buying a budget compact camera and expecting dslr quality.

Hi all,
Anyone know of any decent music production apps? I've got Uloops but compared to Tabletop for the iPad its pretty dull.
Hope there is something a bit more feature packed avaiable on coming soon.
Cheers
I picked up SPC when it was free a few weeks ago on the Amazon Appstore. Check out the video on the market page, it's a lot of fun.
I don't know of anything in Android comparable to GarageBand on the iPad but if you do find something along those lines (or anything else of interest for that matter), be sure to post it back here!
Caustic is pretty good

Nice, cheers for both of them, will give them ago.
There's a decent app called Plasma Sound HD which is kind of like a synth pad. Worth looking at if you havent already, hopefully it will work in conjunction with some of these apps
Try Reactable.
I can't figure out how to use it but I only gave it a try for 2 minutes. It's $10 but should work similarly to this:

Cool to read this, gonna look in to them. Whas looking for it myself as well.

I'll give it a go to on my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and maybe make a video on how it works for me.
i play with caustic a lot, it's a decent drum machine/sampler

Chordbot lets you play around with chord sequences and provides various musical styles to dress up the chord progressions. I found it helpful for musical compositions and trying out different melodies to go with the chords.
What I like in chordbot and similar apps is... there is only the name of the chord and no information what notes it contains. I never got to learning all the chords names I just use them by intuition (I'm self learned, you can hear my music on Jamendo - search for Tomasz Kucza - and in my games). On Android I tested only Caustic - it's quite fine for fun.
So, what was the ultimate verdict?
Pros and/or Cons....?
Some of these apps are a bit pricey, and I was curious to see how they worked out.
Also, what are you creating? (Genre)
Thanks in advanced.

After trying a few apps I'd say it's a waste of money - these apps are nowhere close to DAWs like Ableton/FL/Logic etc. Maybe FL Mobile will be something good, but if you really need to produce music get a laptop.
I agree they are all a waste of money for producing but they are ok for just for fun.
Might plug my pad into my studio and get caustic used as a synth cubase as theres a sound on it i want to use in a track.
Apart from that they are all a bit of fun

This seems like something that should go in accessories, but Amazon just introduced a lossless streaming level, and they have a 90 day free trial on it. I'm giving it a shot! Seems like it might be made for those of us with a nice Quad-DAC phone

For those of you who try this, I'll be interested to hear if you can get anything higher than 48KHz from Amazon music HD. From reddit reports (here) and Amazon's own FAQ (here) I get the impression that they are limiting Android devices to 48KHz.
If they are indeed able to stream in full 192KHz -- or if UAPP finds a way to support it (here) then it seems a welcome competitor to Tidal and Qobuz.

The reddit link I posted contained a screenshot that displays Track Quality vs Device Capability vs Currently play at. I assume that's the Amazon app.
In any case would I also check the audio_flinger dump, as described at the bottom of this UAPP support page -- it applies to any audio player, not just to UAPP.
I am swamped right now, no time to test Amazon Music. I'll be signing up for their trial when I have more time, but probably not for a few more months.
I would recommend Tidal Master Plan if You have the 20 Bucks per Month. Amazon Music doesn't looks like a real alternative on Android thanks to the Limitations of their App...
