My daughter was playing with a NT at the local tech store last weekend and discovered that drawing program that is bundeled with it. She loves it and told me if I put it on my Galaxy Tab I would never get it back.
Who makes that software and what is it called? Where can I find it?
Sent from a distant planet with the aid of my towel.
It's called Drawing Pad by Murtha Design Inc., however im about positive it is Nook store exclusive, though i am not sure. Hope this helps a little.
It's on the Amazon market. 1.99
Interestingly enough, it's the free app of the day on the Amazon App Market.
That's my idea of pricing. Thanks for the tip.
it's free on amazon today

Not sure if anyone uses this app on a regular basis as I do, but there are some really cool added features coming in the premium version. Syncing and such.
Anyhow, right now they are offering the new premium app for $4.99 on Amazon for life where as after tomorrow, the fee will be $1.99 a month. Seems like a great deal to get it now. I can also say the syncing between phones works great. Mine and my wife's can share the grocery list with no problem.

What is the monthly fee for multiple users?
Looks like a pretty good deal for a lifetime subscription, but the Amazon site indicates a small monthly fee to add users (like my wife?) to the app.
Any idea what that fee would be? I'm currently using OurGroceries (with ads). The real-time updating is the important thing for me on the grocery list -- without it, it's really not worth buying.
Guess I'm old fashioned, but paper and pen works for us, and in the grand scheme of life, some things need to be left that way! The day I sync a grocery list is the day I lose my phone, and TV remote to a younger generation.

I bought it on both phones so that I had the license on both. Works great. My wife made me a few lists already.

LOL....yea, but I try to keep a better handle on my phone than on a paper list. I would lose the list. At least if you lose your phone, you can call it and find it.
OurGroceries works well and free.

Check out Cozi it works cross platform and can handle tasks and calendars as well as lists and there is an ad supported version.
If only I could get my wife to actually use it...

Touchpad is flooding Ebay and Craigslist, prices are going down. The storm is over. I just sold mine quick for $200-32gb, week ago it was $250-32gb. Only the 16gb was the real deal HP has delivered. I say all not all 32gb were in the hands of consumers, they are out there
It would be a nice surprise if development continued on it, but unfortunately, all signs point to the fire sale being the real effect of poor management.
+1 on incompetence. A fat, heavy, slow touchpad with virtually no apps priced the same as an ipad2 was a DOA idea. That they didn't realize this before bringing it to market certainly made it our gain, but never underestimate the ability of HP's (or numerous other companies) top MBA's to think they are much smarter than they really are.
WebOS going to Amazon
Yes, now that Amazon is going to buy WebOS, HP fire sale was a scam,
I really don't see how it was a scam if we got to buy them for dirt cheap. How were we scammed? We got a pretty decent pack of hardware for cheap, so that is a win. If some other company takes over webOS, we still win.
If webOS is bought buy amazon will the we be able to use the amazon webOS on our touchpads.

I highly doubt it. Amazon isn't interested in our touchpads, they would only want webOS for their own tablets & kindles. Or they might just be interested in sitting on it in case google runs into android patent issues with oracle and microsoft.
If Amazon has webos then they would want more devices out there running it for app sales. If the money is there they will open an app market for webos
Hp fired their ceo recently he was no genius as is but I don't think losing money was a brilliant ploy of theirs

Android will soon be out for it.
(Actually, you can put a version of Android on a touchpad already.)
Just don't buy any apps in the HP app store.

They would continue to sell it if it was a setup.unfortunately it was just poor planning and marketing
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I think the proper question would be: "Was HP's announcement that webOS and the TouchPad are discontinued a setup?" The fire sale would just be another step in that ruse . . . To accurately guage demand for a cheaper touchpad. HP could lightened the TouchPad up, add Android, and voila, TP2 . . . Without losing face.
But this is the company that managed to ruin their desktop reputation and Compaq's laptop reputation so, they're not marketing geniuses, and haven't been for quite some time.
So, don't hold your breath.

This is more of a general question regarding android...if i am moving from device to device like the nook tablet and other android or android based tablets/phones, where would be the best place to purchase an app amazom or google market?
I am thinking in terms of availability on locked down devices and such....
I would personally say google just beause it's much larger and amazon is much stricter than google as far as what apps are avalible in their market.

All true, however, ironically Amazon marketplace may have fewer issues displaying all applications in the marketplace for your downloading privilege. The Google marketplace has metadata associated with each app that allows publishers to indicate what devices/specs are required to run applications. While this is great most of the time, issues like the dpi setting (see GApps topic) may require you to fiddle with settings to fake the market into thinking you have a supported device to "open" the market.
Amazon does not (at this time) have such metadata which is a double-edged sword. On the one hand you may be able to download an app that doesn't work on your device but, on the other hand, it means you may have fewer problems accessing the apps you've already purchased. Amazon does have a few exclusives (like Plants vs. Zombies) at the moment as well. Getting Amazon marketplace up and running on the NT has been easier thus far (though give it time and I bet Google Marketplace will be working without root soon).
My take? Why choose? I have several "free apps of the day" from the Amazon Apps that I've dl'ed and plan on using on the NT. I have several others I've outright purchased from the Google Marketplace that I would like to use as well. Prices on the Google Marketplace can be more competitive in some cases as well.
Ultimately, it's not a simple choice.
Amazon does that. They blocked other ereaders if you have a Kindle fire. I do have both, the free app of the day is sweet. Google does rule the roost so to speak.
Amazon market and Google market are both very good, you should consider signing up for both.
I also like Amazon's free app of the day. I'm not saying Amazon is better. Most of the apps I paid for are from Google market. If I had to pick just just one, my choice would be the Google market.
I do have both and have purchased from both because amazon has some killer sales sometimes. I was going to purchase an app and was just contemplating what app store to buy from.....sounds like a horse a piece though.
I should probably have clarified my previous post - if you are looking for purchasing apps, my first choice is Google Market. I generally try an app out as a "free app of the day" on Amazon, and if I *really* like it, I'll buy it on Google's Market. Of the 20 or so free apps I've dl'ed off of Amazon, I've kept maybe 1/3 on my device. Several of those will be uninstalled.
I guess my feeling has been that Amazon tends to screw the app developers (do a Google search and you'll see many stories of this) so I like to throw my money at them on Google Market. I keep both because I like the ability to preview an app without the ads. I've actually avoided purchasing "Plants vs. Zombies", however, because I know I would like to buy it on the Google Market when it eventually gets there.
While I don't exactly feel Amazon is "here today and gone tomorrow", they are the new kid on the block, relatively speaking. Google Market is my market of choice for actual purchases. I sure like having both markets on my device, though.
The new app is awesome. It offers many new features and flexability. Only one major problem for preexisting Android users. Now you have to pay to access over the internet while preexisting Apple users do not. http://support-splashtop2.splashtop.com/entries/21825816
*Update*
Seems they have deleted that post (or blocked me one or the other). Now they are offering 1 year free Access Anywhere to preexisting customers. Looks like there are a bunch of people that are upset https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS5zcGxhc2h0b3AucmVtb3RlLnBhZC52MiJd
*Update 2*
I am satisfied with the resolution offered by Splashtop. Personally I think the added features make it the best remote client for Android.
Does the new app offer any significant changes? I only just got around to trying the one included with the Asus stuff, it's pretty neat.
Yes, usability is greatly improved.
1 Year Free Access Anywhere
Is anyone taking them up on the one year free offer?

I will if they change it to a "For life" deal, just like what they have for iOS users. Everyone should get onto the app page and give it one star, and post their disapproval all over Splashtop's page until the backlash makes them realize how wrong they were to pull this on us, and how bad this was for their reputation.
Is this year free deal only in the U.S? I don't see it anywhere in the description? In Canada btw.
Edit: see it now, its under any negative review. But honestly they should give us lifetime for free as well

The year free is only if you had previously purchased Splashtop HD or THD. All new users (iOS or Android) have to pay for Access Anywhere. The offer was given in the user reviews on Google Play. It is their response to the backlash of existing customers.
Thank you for your feedback and support. We understand you have bought Splashtop HD. If you can send an email to [email protected] with your Splashtop ID and Gmail address used to purchase Splashtop HD, we will proceed to give you 1-year Anywhere Access Pack for free. Thank you again, Mark Splashtop CEO

Thanks yah I see it now, didn't think to look in the in the reviews. And I own THD so I'm not pleased about having to pay again for this. Already left a review stating this. Thanks though!
Maybe I'm missing something but what is the big difference here?
I have Splashtop THD and the only thing I noticed different is that it offers pinch/zoom.

Yeah! Equal treatment! We have to force them to make the app $2.99 on Android!
I would easily pay $2.99 to get a lifetime subscription like previous iOS customers get.
Instead, I get the app for free but have to pay $.99 per month or $9.99 per year once my free year is up.
Somehow they thought this was a good marketing plan?
They try to give reasons such as how in the iOS app store it was made as a replacement app so they are forced to give lifetime subs to previous customers. How is that now supposed to be OUR problem?

It looks like they are burning the midnight oil. I sent an email at 1am PST and within 30 minutes they responded:

It looks like they are starting to see why people are reacting so adversely. All we want is consistency.
I purchased Splashtop THD, have Splashtop HD that came with my ASUS TF201, and also have Splashtop Mobile purchased through the Amazon app store.
So I emailed them a few days ago, and they just responded saying they are giving me 2 years free. A little strange since some are getting lifetime, others a year, and I'm getting 2 years. But I'm ok with that, there will probably be a new version out before the 2 years is up anyways. So email them personally, they'll give you something.
They gave me lifetime as well. When they also explained that iOS users have to pay to download the app, it made more sense of how in the long run, the costs to both parties should be comparable. It seems that each new version would cost iOS users $$ to download, while our subscriptions guarantee us free downloads of any new versions that are released. It would be better however, if they can fix the problem and use the same exact model for both parties. Overall, I feel they are doing the best they can now with the difficulties presented to them, and hopefully it all get fixed soon.
Where do I find my Splashtop I'D?

I've been down with the Transformer Tablet since Jan. Bought it off Office Depot after selling a Brand New Ipad 2 I won in a Christmas raffle, and purchased the dock right after. I wanted to like this Prime...BAD. I actually started to like the Prime after I rooted it. I dont want to turn this thread into a Prime bashing because like I said. I DO LIKE MY PRIME. My only gripe is the browser hanging so often for such an expensive tablet..
Also like with any technology, things get old and new tech follows. I wanted to hear what people thought about these new Amazon Tablets coming out. I posted a few links

They're popping up all over Google if u search for them. I had a friend of mine tell me Groupon was selling the Transformer on Groupon for $299 last week. However I told him it wasnt the same as the "Prime" and ended up seeing these Amazon tablets right after. I told him the specs "supposed to be" better then the Primes. He's putting an order in and I said I'd wait til he got one to see if I'd sell my self short by selling my Prime for a lower price to get 1 or if I'm better off keeping my prime..
Curious to hear what people thought.
Just keep in mind that you won't get any Google apps on a stock Amazon device. None. Nothing from Google Play, either. Amazon has a lot of the well-known Android apps, but not all of them.
Ya like the amazon app store is actually terrible. They have like a few casual games like angry birds and such.

dude, since you're rooted install browser2ram ... it makes one hell of a difference to browsing using the stock browser. I was amazed.
But yes, there's no comparison btwn Amazon's tabs and the Prime. If you accept the Prime is not perfect in every way, hang on for the JB update before judging.
