Has anyone gotten Newsr to work on the NC. It seems to be one Android app most like Zite for the Ipad that I miss (as I can't get the IPad away from my 4-year-old). Or is there an Android app like Zite (not a big fan of pulse).
Thanks.
"Newsr is optimized for the Honeycomb experience on Xoom and is only available on Android tablets running Honeycomb".
Ya, I saw that, but was just hoping that as with netflix that someone was working some magic.
Thanks.
Doesn't work like that. If it's meant for Honeycomb, and that is all it says, there are reasons...like it actually uses elements only found in 3.0+.

I have just bought an Android 2.3 tablet for my son. One of the things he wants to be able to do is produce his own MP3s by recording from his electric guitar and editing / creating his own tracks.
I have also purchase a 'plug & play' USB guitar lead - but the tablet doesn't recognise it, and I haven't found an audio editor he could use to produce his own music.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
2.3 or 3.2 tablet?

2.3 - does it make a difference?

Although I don't believe there are any audio editing apps out there, for future reference, Google's tablet OS is 3.0+ while Google's phone OS is other such as 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. If there are any tablet optimized apps, which would make sense if some developer made an app as productive as audio editing, they would be for 3.0+, aka Honeycomb. I don't see developers developing what your son wants to do for the phone versions. In my opinion, an Ipad would have been a better option for what your son wants to do. Sorry, but that's the truth.
If I'm wrong, someone correct me please.

I wouldn't buy an Ipad on principle (if only because you can't change the battery, never mind a number of ideological reasons) - but the cost is also prohibitive for something for a 12 year-old.
All tablets come with Microphones built in, I'm amazed they can't accept and edit audio via a cable?
I was thinking, that if we used chroot ubuntu and installed chromium (example here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iitOdmb6yvM)
And then installed the netflix plugin in the chrome store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...earch&hcp=main) which lets you run netflix in any chrome browser then...
Shouldn't we potentially be able to get netflix to play on the Touchpad? I havent even gotten mine yet, so i cant test this theory but it should work as far as i can tell.

That is just a wrapper for the site and does not allow Netflix to work in Linux.
Yeah, still does not deal with the fact that no one has compiled moonlight (silverlight for linux) for ARM yet. That may be possible, but it looks like a pain in the butt. That's what really needs done, not the browser.

Well thats probably easier than porting all of android over, which is really the only reason i'd even want android on a touchpad

Seeing as Moonlight doesn't even play Netflix now in Linux on x86 machines, I would say Android is the easier way.
I use PlayOn to stream Netflix & Hulu and they both work fine on the Touchpad. I know it is an additional expense for some but I already subscribed so it was basically free for me.

The touchpad would probably be easier to port android however the compatibility for the Netflix app is pretty awful on android, so it's not even guarenteed that Netflix will work. We still might have to find a workaround of sorts.

Netflix works on plenty of devices. You can side load it onto most and use it just fine. If not, there is plenty a hacked one around.
I am happy with my Nook Tablet with HD Netflix HD Hulu Plus, BUT I got my eye on the Prime. Will the Prime be able to have these 2 apps working without jumping through hoops??

Netflix will run fine as it will support 3.2 and 4.0.1+ for sure. Hulu Plus? Most likely.
That's totally up to Netflix and Hulu. I think that with we might be able to use them out of hte box with HC, but the big question is if they would work on ICS. Given their track record of making slooow changes, I'd wager we might have to wait for ICS versions to work.
..hey from where did you got this application for the tablet ??
because i have installed this newer android ICS update and i am not able to install those applications however !
Ok, from what i understood good TV is basically android based device with hardware similar to an average android phone and the Google TV app on top.
If that's the case can't we use our android phones with HDMI out and this app just like google TV?
I tried to download the app from the market but it said it's not compatible with my device, i guess it's limited for just google tv devices.
Is there a way around that?
Good question! I also would like to know if there is a way to do this.
Well it kinda seems that nobody knows?
Yeah nobody knows, and it would be so cool.
I was looking to purchase this:

But then I read it's a tablet version, is there anyway to get it to run on our phoness? it would be a nice alternative for webtop on fullscreen, although it would be awful for the smallscreen but a good alternative to google docs when there's no internet on the webtop.
No guarantees, but you might be able to get it to work if you install a CM9 rom and apply the tablet UI hack.
HD (for tablets) works on my Atrix. Had paid for it for the week I had a transformer prime. Used that apk on my Atrix and it works. It's a bit crowded, but doesn't look bad in landscape. I'm on Joker's CM9 (no mods), so that's all I can testify for. Good luck.
Anyone had any luck with it on a motoblur gingerbread rom?
I currently use my phone for webtop so I haven't moved to CM9
