Mobile Adult Content (no not real content just concept)

Well it looks like this is being resurrected, in a month or so I am going to be given the option to pitch this idea after I do the proper market research. So if anyone is in the biz or has some numbers they could throw out me please do. I won't really be hitting the books (so to speak) until we finish a special project we are currently working to launch. If your interested in the pr0n watch this thread!

what does this have to do with xda-devs general discussion...smells like spam...but you have 111 posts,so...not sure

Should it go in Development? It isn't developed yet, and I can assure you it is not spam. I work for one of the largest providers of online Adult content in the world.
I had posted something similar about creating a Win Mo program for streaming content before but now that I actually have a definitive answer on going to pitch it I was just getting my ducks in a row.
I just put it in General since I wasn't sure where else it would go, especially since I am kind of looking for market research resources.

well i assume it will have to be payed...and we don't sell anything around here,i think...so i'd suggest moving to off-topic at the moment

Possibly pay, possibly not. Either way if some help they could be beta testers which would be free (I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS DEFINITE SO DON'T SEND ME PM's YOU PERVS). Also just for the record I have never advertised the company I work for.

well i wasn't going to ask for it...think you are a perv.
just wanted to see where would this lead
but for this kind of mobile usage....thanks not
there are better things to watch on the ppc
i mean to work for a company like that,man you could have found a better job
this is just my opinion,so no hard feelings

Your opinion. I love my job, for the record I do not do any programming what so ever just building tutorials and flow charts.

i think the market/demmand is probably theire...not sure tho it's hard to say i mean when would you really have time to watch that on a mobile...it's not something you can just watch while riding the bus or plane...and if your at home just go on pc plenty of it out theire...interesting idea non the lest tho...good luck....

Yea the one thing I could see a major advantage of is having a TV out on your phone and using that to watch it. You then could by pass the nagging wife, girlfriend, boyfriend who snoops around your PC trying to catch you.

The next big thing in Mobile Devices

What's it going to be? We've had bluetooth, video calling, mass storage, wifi, gps (and maybe some more my feeble mind can't think of!).
So what is the next 'big' thing? Hi-res TV-out? Cable TV? I'm only guessing random stuff here, i'm nowhere near a guru on such techie things.
It may already be out there, but I just haven't caught on yet?

Thats generally a good assumption. As William Gibson said "The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed yet."
So we can look at things like payment using your mobile phone (very common in Japan), RFID readers in your phone, more cloud-based computing, super-high speed networks (LTE was just demonstated at 170 mb/sec while driving!)
Another up and coming technology are pico-projectors, meaning you can use any vertical surface as a large display.
The most interesting development I have seen recently is data that used to be expensive becoming available for free e.g mapping data now free via google maps and live maps, and of course directory assistance, with every phone number now available via google. This information will be even better organized in the future, with the semantic web, meaning speech recognition will finally have a chance of being able to answer usefully. This can be seen in Live Search, which seems to work pretty well using speech recognition.

An HTC phone with the proper drivers installed....

Interesting video and amazing concept. Can't see it happening in my lifetime though. It's funny though how mobile phones are being developed at a blistering speed to cater for so much fancy gadgetry, from business applications to media entertainment to incredible touch sensitive screens and ipod type menus, that the reason mobile phones exist, ie, to make phone calls, has almost become the least important bit.

Lack of apps? what apps?!!

In many nag lists on negatives on the hd2 (or WM (65)) one mentions the Lack of Applications compared to Android or Iphone.
The challengers argue that the mass of iphone apps are doubles tripples quads.....etc.
in an attempt to make things concrete; Let's list what apps are really missing?

Games with quality

Fun and small games, ex: Angry Birds
Tunewiki
Layar
Wikitude
And a few mores

1. Dropbox
2. Viper Smart Start
3. Quality fun quick games to play when you're bored.
4. Lots of other things I can't think of right now..

Sports score something that can give u in real time NFL, Baseball, Basketball, NCAA, scores in real time with score boxes etc Sportacular comes to mind
Something to track UPS, USPS, Fedex packages (Deliveries on iPhone for example)
Tip calculator
Something similar to qTweeter where it allows you to update facebook/tweeter
Before anybody calls me an Apple fanboy I love my HD2. I came from an iphone 2g/3G 16 gig and will never go back but it is lacking a few apps!

It really is. I hate how everyone refuses to acknowledge and do anything about this (both Microsoft and HTC). Fact is, I just think either the programming part of it or business part of it just fails to impress any of the programmers. They decided to either do iPhone apps or Android apps. NOW Windows is coming out with WM7, a new way or programs and it's just throwing a wrench into the system of all the past windows mobile phones. Seriously, who monitors this **** and just says "it's ok, do it".

i love my hd2 more than my iphone just because of the big screen... but its lacking of apps is a major letdown...

OP... you are looking at it entirely wrong.. its not about what specific apps it is missing....its about being able to get a specific app at any given time whenever it is that i please.... The Apple Store and Android Open Source Market provides this... Whereas Windows fails sooo hard in that category... There really is no argument... and anyone that defends windows position in this... is either EXTREMELY easily satisfied (like 5 yr old satisfied) or just so blind and ignorrant that they fail to see the obvious truth...
i happen to be one of the users that go onto the windows market and other markets thats surfaced on my hd2 and simply "browse" for cool/ interesting apps that might be fun to check out or play with... I rarely go in with a direct set on initiative to download a specific app... nor do i know of any that does so... its usually browsing the selection.. and that is what we are all talking about... the selection... being able to download something whenever it is we feel like it..
yea??
please don't bring something like this up again in these forums... its bad enough that as a windows mobile user and FAN, you make me go and praise the opposing OS's... but i'm not arrogant to facts... i simply tell it like it is...
dismissed

ok, i'll remember that a next time i have a topic, i have to ask for your ideas first.

There are a couple of these on Marketplace, best one for me being ezytip; more than does the job... Otherwise I agree with everyone else, apps are missing no question about that.

I think ditg asks a very reasonable (good) question. The answers some people come up with are -don't take this personally- pathetic. All I read is there's a lack of games, apps that actually ARE on the market (tip calculator for instance, how many do you want?) and 'and lots of other stuff'. You have to look further than just Marketplace. There are many sites on the internet that offer apps, free or not.

The only real difference as I see it, is that IPhone apps are aggregated to one place namely ITunes whereas WM apps are all over the place though XDA probably comes close to a "marketplace" for WM apps.

you obviously took it a little too seriously... nor did you understand... yes.. i know that i can find app all over the internet.... but what the anroid market and apple store does is offer everything in a convienant location... sure.. call it what you want.. but something so simple like that is a pretty big thing... it's in one simple,easy to access location, organized, and REASONABLY priced... whether it be free or a couple bucks...
its just overall better...

lol if you want to be smart about it.... you did ask for my opinion........
but yea.. try not to take my sarcasm too far... although my initial thoughts and points stay true and valid... i respect your views... but come on... who are we kidding.... although not everything is "black" or "white" if you compare our selection/market to the other OS's, the answer is kinda apparent...
but hey.. to each his own...

The iPhone is a phone and it has it's own operating system, it's own apps and it's own store. Windows Mobile isn't a phone, it's an operating system that a lot of phone manufacturers use. That's why you can find apps all over the internet and not in just one store. I do understand, but I doubt it's a benefit putting apps in one store. Sounds to me a bit like phone-communism .

A damn Yelp app!

maybe not directly... and obviously not in the exact words... but he posted a topic in a forum.. stating some opposing views... now while he did not directly ask for it... it was an open ended "agreement" that he was willing to hear what others had to say about the commen t that he just made.... fair?
lol.................... the end?

Well... he should answer that

If you don't like WM you will not buy an HD2.
if you want your lowend user lollypop buy an Iphone.
if you are a though one that like to put your hands in deep s**t to see how thing really works then HD2 is the truth.

Android App Idea Lawn Irrigation

Hey guys;
Not sure if this is the forum to submit ideas, but I wasn't sure where to go exactly. I've never wanted an android app developed until now.
So I'm looking into getting this controller for my sprinklers so I can control them from the web or my phone. I figured if I was on vacation for example and forgot to set my sprinklers from the controller in my garage, I could do it over my phone or any web browser if I buy this controller from this site.
http://www.quicksmart.com/qs_etherrain.html
On that page they say "Open API for Software Developers" so I'm wondering if someone is willing to take on developing an app for this? Do you see a good market for something like this? I will gladly donate!
Thanks in advance for any comments, etc

Hehe, that's an unusual request. However, I imagine that there isn't much of a market for this kind of app. Unless there's some kind of standard interface for internet-enabled sprinklers (even the concept makes me laugh ), the app would have to specifically support each brand. That would mean that the number of people interested in each app would be very low, or the dev would have to spend a lot of time working through all the brands to ensure compatibility.
I didn't read through their site in detail, but I take it that there's no configuration webpage that you could access? That would clearly be the easiest and cheapest (free!) solution. If someone had to write the app for you, it would probably end up costing quite a bit if they charged even just minimum wage for their time. That said, if the app is so important to you that you're willing to pay ~$100 for it, I'd look more closely at what writing this would really require. (You can see my previous work in the Android Market - Spectrum Puzzles.)

Well I dont think theres many brands... Rainbird is the most common out there. I was debating on this unit too:
http://www.irrigationcaddy.com/
I like it better, and I wonder if someone could just make an app that is based off this units browser interface. Prob not tho. It's a funny request cuz its not techy at all, but kinda amazing if u think about it to control ur sprinklers from ur phone. To me, yes its worth 100 or more

lol that could be jokes , send someone to get something in your garden get out your phone open the app and get them wet!!! lool

Lawn sprinkler app
I'd just like an app to turn and off a valve connected to my outdoor hose bib / faucet. I just planted some grass and need to water it 2 or 3 times per day. If I had a controllable valve I could set the times and durations from anywhere with my phone. Seems like something many people would pay for???

Necro thread!!
It's in the wrong section anyway - should be in Android General.

I thought these guys were just being mean to you because I thought you were being off grammar on purpose to be funny or a little bit humurous like engadget but look
"We was lucky enough to spend a nice amount of time with the T-Mobile G2x. in our time with this device found ourselves to be more and more impressed with the handset. It can take anything you throw at it and ask for more. It performed every tasked we tossed at it without a hitch and it did so with mind blowing speed."
Obviously it should be we were lucky enough and instead of uncapitalized start of new sentence with "in our time" instead of "In our time" and also "it performed every tasked..." Should be task
All of this adds up together to look like you don't care if people understand you or not so that is why they are saying ghetto talk.

LOL! Exactly! Offer constructive criticism. Ways the review could be better. Not a stupid comment like. "You sound ghetto."
That's what's wrong with the world now. That's another topic though... Great review man. Can't wait to pick this phone up tomorrow!

Nice review! Don't give any of the grammar/ghetto remarks any weight. You speak and write better than a lot of the paid bloggers at some of the more popular Android sites.
I like the fact that you broke the various tours/reviews out into separate videos. It's easier (for me) to take them in small increments when I have time than to try to digest a 15-minute review. And I'm definitely happier with your software/multimedia reviews. Lots of others simply flip through the app drawer and the browser, like that tells me how the phone really performs.
Maybe it's just me but I'd like to see the output of "mount" and "df" so I can gauge how the storage is laid out and what's mounted where (and how). That may be beyond the scope of what you're trying to show.
Other than that, I have to say it's probably one fo the most thorough reviews I've seen. Good, no, excellent job!

Welcome everyone to AndroidMixer’s first device review. We were lucky enough to spend a nice amount of time with the T-Mobile G2x. In our time with this device found ourselves to be more and more impressed with the handset. It can take anything you throw at it and ask for more. It performed every tasked we tossed at it without a hitch and it did so with mind blowing speed. When you think of Android you don’t immediately think LG but after this review you might have a different view on this phone and the direction it could lead the company in the future.

Excellent wordage, I'd expect nothing less from a mod. Overall, how do you think I did? From 1 to 10 what would you give it?

It's a solid 7. A little word switching / punctuation checking could easily make it a 10. Very thorough and comprehensive. I'll be doing my own unboxing of the device later on this week (no reviews from me ). Just purchased today.
