I am tired of many of iOS’s issues (lack of flexibility, screensize) and want to get the new Nexus. However, there are many Key features of iOS that I use extensively. I’m looking for some informative insight on Android’s offering.
1.***** Airplay – wireless music/youtube w/e directly from my iPhone. I have no idea what android have in this department
2.***** Music – I use a Mac and I would like to keep itunes. Is there a easy way to sync? Especially wirelessly
3.***** Facetime – is there an equally simple solution? My long D gf uses iOS, so im looking for cross platform here.
4.***** Facebook – iOS facebook sucks, how far along is android now, app, integration etc?
5.***** Notes – syncs automatically with my Mac, I can access it offline after it synced. I tried evernote before but I don’t think it works offline.
Any exclusive ICS features that are used extensively?
Thanks

Hey,
1. no idea, sorry
2. There are a few programs that manage sync with iTunes on a mac. Doubletwist (the paid version features wireless sync) might be a good solution for this: http://doubletwist.com/
3. What about Skype? =) I think iOS also has video call functionality https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skype.raider
4. Well facebook for Android also sucks :/ I'd go with the mobile website instead.
5. I'd say evernote is the way to go. It also works offline, at least on mobile.

Apple has a way of trapping you in their exclusive ecosystem of software and accessories. You can find alternative, open solutions, but you may have to purchase new accessories.
If I understand correctly, Airplay is an Apple proprietary solution. I know that DoubleTwist has an Airplay plugin, but I would imagine it only supports playing back audio, not YouTube, etc.
DLNA is the alternative, but is standardized and widely supported.

1 Airplay....There are applications in the Android Market that can handle this.
2 Music-Doubletwist and Airsync - both provided by the same company. They also sync with iTunes.
3 Factime - I use Gtalk application It works on WiFI as well as 3G/4G and hence you can always be in touch with your gf....lol
4 Notes- Gdocs...it syncs with Google and also Google DOcs which not only syncs your notes but all your docs.
5 Google music is very good since it stores all your music in cloud and also gives you flexibility to download, transfer or play from the cloud while on the move.
1. Nothing really like airplay
2. You can use itunes to organise your music and just drag and drip songs onto your sd card.
3. I use the Skype app for video calls
4. The Facebook app is terrible for Android but is integrated well into the os with full contact sync and sharing photos to facebook straight from the app.
5. There are so many great note taking apps on the Android Market there will definately be something you will like
The great thing about Android is that if you don't like the stock Android apps you can always find better alternatives to them on the market.
A stranger randomly pair video chat app (like Chatroulette or Omegle) is posted on Android Market. You need to download two apps named "MVChat" and "MVChatService" on Android Market and install Adobe Air to support them. The app supports both front (if the phone has) and back camera for video chat.
We also have a web-based app which could also chat with users using their mobile phones.
The website for web-based app is: mobile.makemychat.com
Detail instruction for our apps: mobile.makemychat.com/user_instruction.html
Hi All,
I have a specific requirement for an android app that can stream 2 x M3U streams in parallel whilst displaying both streams MetaData on a common
screen.
This is to provide smartphone monitoring of two business radio networks for senior management such that they know which talkgroup is talking
and can hear the conversation on each group in as near real time as possible - but with one app.
I have done the "hard" bit (getting the metadata out of the radio and into the icecast streamer) but need an icecast2 app with dual stream support
I know each stream works as I have been testing using Xiaa Pro.
Anyone know of an android app that meets my needs please ?
Regards

Hello.
Is there any app the could stream live video directly to facebook, youtube channels with image overlay for android smartphones ?
For Computers there are several programs which can add overlays in to the camera., but I can't find any for android (or ios).
Official facebook app doesn't support overlays (images, text and etc).
So is there any way I add image, text to the live video directly from my smartphone and stream it to facebook channel ?
Thanks in advance !
Anyone, some idea ?
Edit:
I find only few iOS apps (teradek) that can make it.
I am working on a project that is somewhat similar to the way Netflix works (as a streaming service), and have the following requirements:
Database that stores video files
Create group that can access the video
Ability for Owner to invite/add users to the group(s)
Video can be played/paused, and resumed if users close and come back to watch later.
Users in the Group can watch the video at the same time
Email/push notifications whenever owner of a group uploads a new video ready for watching
Now I have last developed in Android some 4 years ago, but in terms of cross platform compatibility, e.g. iOS and Android, what is the best approach for this project?
Should I use AWS or Azure to host the database? Would SQL database work well with storing videos? Is MP4 the best format considering its wide compatibility? From my android experience, I developed an App in Android studio, but is there a better alternative to develop an app that can work for both iOS and Android at once?
