Has anyone on here been able too see the new movie rental option in the Market? Ive been reading about it, and ive got to say im interested. Although Im not if I might prefer a monthly flat rate fee like NetFlix. Google's cloud service is a definite advantage though. Sounds interesting, and I for one am glad there is another way to stream / download movies too our big screens.

I'll second that
i had not looked for it as i read that rooted devices were been blocked from using it.....?
Ya ive read tge gossip concerning rooted devices, but so far from what i read its still speculative. I hope its not true. Either way im pretty confident in the android dev community and their abilities to find a work around.

There is a webite called beatport.com its the bigges online store for dance music. They have created an official app to preview and buy tunes but its iphone only . Would any one be able to port it or am i at beatports mercy?

really... streaming dance music for your PDA?
Isn't that like buying a porche so you can take a hampster for a joyride?
rather than try to take a stab at you personally, i'll try to answer your question... You're at their mercy. They own the source so they'd have to release it. Maybe only possibility is to have an app that interfaced with their website? But don't know if thats possible.

FWIW beatport isn't really about streaming. Its for.purchasing tunes for djs to play. Having the ability to preview tunes before purchasing on the go is quite important to some.

I've been getting bored with my phone, not because its a older phone now but it just doesn't have that fun factor it had when I first got it.
Are there any new apps that make your phone exciting? I find myself doing the same thing over and over, go into the 9gag app look at memes, read the news a bit, go on xda, text etc.
Get an android tablet and root it. Thats what I did after getting tired of messing with this phone.

I always keep looking for random games. Sometimes go back for old ones and replay haha. Glad there's still development going on for this phone. Trying to hold out for that gs3
Glad to see xrider and mrrobc still hanging in the vibrant forums. But honestly no matter what device you use you will get bored of it eventually. I have 6 devices most do the same thing.
However what I enjoy is HDMI my fave games like mc3 to my bigscreen with surround sound. To me its way more challenging to any console I've played.

I bought a transformern too. Prime is full of bugs with crappy GPS and wifi (you have to be nearly sitting on top of your router) and ICS is extremely buggy. The Prime was nothing more than ASUS getting the Tegra3 chip out before anyone else, but with massive sacrifices.
Manus - PMe me when you get yours and I will get you some link to rooting and recovery. There are 3 different ways depending on your build number.

Just put ICS on my vibrant which will hopefully keep it interesting until I can upgrade in a few months. Also got a Kindle Fire that i'm messing with.
I just picked up a galaxy s 2 instead of making a thread id like to say goodbye to all of you great devs (xrider ,alan ,and s1 ) for the great run. Hope to see you guys someday.

How about an obscure body in the S-K System? You can play with it awhile...before annihilation.
@ woodrube thanks man no doubt I saw that a lot of people said the original was better than the prime and I was able to get the 32 gb version for 399 on best buy.

You could flash MIUI, which has tons of themes avadible. Plus if you dont like having any launcher, you could just install one from the market.

I have only been able to get video up by opening the streaming link via browser. However, it was too laggy even on a good WiFi connection to make it watchable. Not sure why. I tried it in 2 different browsers with no real luck.
The app is disappointing. Amount of compatible devices is really weak. I emailed them a few times and all they said was "There are too many Android devices and we can't test them all" which is really just a load of bull. Plenty of video apps out there that run on tablets, phones, etc. without issue.
Too bad considering the Flyer is a great size screen for streaming that type of stuff.
hate to say it but the stream works well on my iphone.... yuck. atleast I was able to get a free account
It streams great from my phone ( T-Mobile G2) but I can't place it on my desk comfortably
This sucks, my tablet has better specs than my phone UGH
Does anybody use their slingplayer with the note? Does it work well? How about using with directv ? Also what app works better with the note? The phone or tablet slingplayer androod app?

Works great. I also have the tablet version on here as well. Quality is way better but it won't open the remote interface, only allows you to manually enter the channels.

Are threre any video quality diffrence between the two apps phone/tablet versions?
I mostly want to use this for the dvr shows not so much live tv. I want the tablet app if it has better video quality but not controls for dvr seems like a deal breaker.Is the phone app video quality just as good? I want to make sure before I put down $300+ and $30 for the app.
Thank you guys for your responses

I have been using slingplayer for a long time. Obviously there have been upgrades over the years but I get the best quality video on my Note. I have the Slingbox Solo.

I just got the slingbox pro hd and its okay! All the features and function is there but the video quality is okay. I get the same choppy quality in sd and hd. I have it hooked thru component with digital audio and optimum online boost 30 down 8 up in nyc. I'm happy with the box and hope maybe ICS will make the video quality better along with netflix.

I'm using Slingbox-Pro for 7 years and never had any problem with the Tilt II and now I'm using it on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy " Tablet using Android and don't have any problem either.
When I try to use it on the new samsung focus S, The windows phone reqired that you must change the slingbox pro to slingbox pro-HD. I did that, spent $250 for the slingbox pro-hd, it works for 3 months then the power supply input on the pro-hd burned up. Now I switched back to the Slingbox pro and still working good with my android tablet but will not work on the windows phone. I think the windows phone SUCK !!!.I'll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon it come out. Stay away from windows phones. Regars,
Is there anyway to get T-Mobile TV to work for the note? I downloaded the app from the play store however when I open it, it says not compatible with your device. I know their are a lot of T-Mobile users and was wondering do any of you guys have this working. Or is there any possible way to get this to work?
Thanks

It only works on certain T Mobile devices. Also there is SD and HD shows that are also only able to be viewed on certain devices. Most standard def channels can be watched on all the devices that T Mobile TV works on but the HD channels can only be watch on a few devices as of now. I doubt we will get this working on an AT&T Note. There is a list on the T Mobile site that will show you all the devices the app will work on.
Maybe a build.prop change that makes it look like one of the approved devices.

Ah okay that sucks just thought it'd be a neat thing to have to watch some random shows when I was bored. A build prop change seems too much of a hassle for this small thing plus it might cause some other apps to stop working.
