Hey guys,
Are there any (simple)tablet specific apps you guys would really like to see? I'm no star programmer(2nd year software eng. student with no experience before university) and I'm certainly not an android pro(really just got into android development in January) but I'll see what I can do. I've been working on some simple phone apps but I'd really like to get started with some apps for honeycomb.
If there are any fans of theoatmeal.com, I'm thinking my first honeycomb app will just be a simple viewer for his comics. Nothing complicated, just a list of comics on the side, with an image view which you can swipe to change panes in the comic and then some tabs at the top to filter(all, cats, grammar, food, animals, tech - just like on the website). I wish I could work on it this weekend but I'm leaving for my parent's in about half an hour and I don't have my laptop with me(just my galaxy tab 10.1).
Anyway, let me know what you'd like to see.
Automatic about :debug desktop view app.
A deviantart app so I can see images quicker and easier.
that's actually a good idea. It's really frustrating to have to put that in every time. Not sure how to do it exactly, but I doubt it would be too hard.
I've never used deviantart myself but that is something I could look into.
I'm thinking of trying to make an app that can send text messages when connected to a phone via bluetooth. Not sure if it will happen but it should be an interesting project. I was originally planning on doing it with google's push api but that would be more work and probably isn't necessary(do you really want to receive text messages on your tablet when it's not in range of your phone? I wouldn't).
That would be useful. Heck even away from the phone would be useful for many people. When "away" SMS gets forwarded to email or gv.
I believe blackberry playbook has a lot of functionality between phone and tablet. Anything to increase the handshake between android tablet phone would be great. Even if its a chrome2phone style sending a map or website back and forth.
Data recorder
For some reason the 3G watchdog app doesnt work correctly on my galaxy tab 10.1v. A working app designed for the tablet would be nice, unless other people have other suggestions I could try out.

I'm a student and would like to see more apps that I could use like the notebook app for the htc flyer. Something that looks professional and simple. Like having a word document on your tab. There's a few out there but none that are entirely convincing. From what i've heard there are apps for other tabs that can record lectures, have word recognition, among other really awesome things. Assus has a decent app for it too I guess, but i'd like to see it on the galaxy tab 10.1 forsure.
Get netflix to work on honeycomb!

You can turn the word prediction on in keyboard settings for Samsung's keyboard. it's called XT9 prediction. Even the stock honeycomb keyboard does have prediction.
I wasn't entirely convinced by the stock keyboard nor Samsung's keyboard so I bought Thumb Keyboard from the Market. I haven't looked back since
A Flipboard style app would be pretty nice, it's about the only app I miss from my iPad (besides Netflix & HBO Go).

I'm developing an app just for this purpose. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133277
Netflix Netflix and Netflix please
oh and maybe Netflix?
Swype 3.0 is awesome on the SGT, few bugs but great features. I have a challenge for the college student. Create a lockscreen replacement for honeycomb where you can define app shortcuts to place around the unlock circle similar to the unlock icon and drag the smaller circle to each shortcut to launch the app. Similar to sense 3.0 but for honeycomb!

How does this compare to SMSSync? Can you post screenshots?
An app that can read ebooks and comics. Has a notepad feature and has flip page animation for all of them.
A decent effing sports app that has favorite teams, a working widget, and is usable in both portrait and landscape.
Hi,
so I am really enjoying my Galaxy Tab and I think it can easily replace a laptop for a lot of day to day tasks. One such task would be using it to show presentations to people. I have tried googling for this but I couldn't find a proper search term:
I am looking for an app that allows me to basically "stream" a powerpoint presentation onto the big screen, preferably without any wires (WiFi, DLNA). Is there such an app?
Bump. I'd also like to know an answer to this.
yeah im intrested in this too
Hey
I know this is a long shot but is their anyway to get the safari(iphone) browser on an android phone. Barring that emulate it somehow I am trying to test mobile phone web pages across all platforms.
Thanks
I don't think it is possible to actually port iOS app to Android without source code(which obviously is N/A). But there is an app called Boat Browser, which looks pretty much like Safari.
Safari uses webkit and so does the Android browser so they should render very similar. Its similar to Chrome vs Safari on the desktop, they usually render the same.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply's I have done a bit of testing they render mostly the same but every now and then something odd happens. They really should release emulators for development purposes.
Hey guys, Just got my hands on one of these.
Been searching everywhere for some type of software or app that allows you to share screens with multiple tablets.
I want to use this for presentations.
Basically, this tablet will be the Main screen, other 2-3 tablets to give to my clients to look at while I show them a presentation. But I control what they see.
Ideas?
I know about teamviewer.
Anything better.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I was wondering if there is an app for saving passwords. I use the passwordsafe on my Blackberry Classic for now and thats the only thing why I am carrying two phones.

Bump!
I know there was a Lastpass app, but it wasn't functioning that well, due to lack of copy/paste functionality between apps, but I'm wondering if it has improved? And, more importantly, if Keepass has moved in yet?
