What's the best Google tv out there? Something around under 150$. I been looking but I start reading the reviews and I get squeamish.
I looked at the new Asus cube, it looks great but I don't need that many useless features. I also checked Vizio Co star. But it has some annoying bugs.
I also want the latest generation.
Update:
I got the cube for 152 after taxes.

A few bugs here and there but it works as expected. Everything works, I don't know about the primetv feature because I haven't used it. Crome, YouTube, Netflix, a few games even streaming work without lag. The browser and games do lag a bit tho.

Ok, sounds like the traditional issues people have with Google TV. I already ordered the Asus Cube instead of the VIZIO Co-Star (or the expensive Sony Internet Player). My only hope is that I'm able to install Tunnelbear from the play store, or install the APK from dropbox or an external source in order to get US content, if not, I'll find a use for it.
Thanks for the quick feedback.

That is a tremendous update. As far as the trying the apk, I'd appreciate it, although I wouldn't want you to go out of your way, plus, I've already ordered the cube. So, even if it doesn't work, I'm still excited to play around with it.
Thanks!

iwillkillyou, how's the cube working out for you? i'm on the fence with either buying the vizio costar or the asus cube. those seem to be the most popular gtv boxes. the sony one is just too more than i want to pay.
i have had the logitech revue for close to a year, but the repeated app crashes (netflix is the worst) are so annoying. the sluggishness of the entire device is also very annoying. why they stuck so little memory and such a poor processor into it is beyond me.
anyway, i'd really appreciate if you could share your experiences withe asus cube. thank you so much.

Hey just wondering. Now I was a follower of Yongzh's work and have his emulators paid for before they pulled it from the market. Now I see a new line of emulators on the market, nes.emu and others .emu
So the real question is, are these new ones better? Or should we stick with the old ones. Also anyone know if Yongzh is still updating his apps? Where is he hosting them now? I know one time he was hosting on a different market, but didnt really look much into it. If anyone has some insight to this all, would be nice. =)

Not sure if he's still updating, but his are still my favourite.
md.emu is by far my favorite Genesis emulator plus he is working on Sega CD emulation for it as well.
The same dev's SNES emu is excellent. In fact , all his emus are my favorites and I too have Yongzh's
Well according to what I read about .emu ones. Is that he has built in Wiimote IME support vs having to download an extra app?
Also as for the Sega Cd stuff. Been there done that, still host the project. www.gens.me =) Been awhile since anything happened. Contacted the dev to see if he wants to link in.
Yonghz is still supporting his n64 emulator on the slide me market. It is 4.99 the rest are free, snes, gba

Question, if you paid while it was on google market, Does he still provide you updates for free? How does that work?

U need to buy the n64oid on slideme then they are honored. The google market purchse isn't honored on slide me. Remember only n64 is not free, everything else is. Do a simple google search and u can find it for free (don't pm me, I won't send u the file). Hell dude its 5 bucks... for over 400 n64 games lmfao....

Google Currents is the new big thing from Google. It allows you to view your favorite news and media pages in a magazine style format. This runs great on Android tablets, especially the HP Touchpad! Check it out:
On the Android Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.currents
Saw this on Android Central, and grabbed it right away.
Ill be honest, I've been kinda neglecting my TP lately. After loading Currents and getting it set up, I didn't want to put it down.
This feels like exactly what the tablets were meant for.

I'm on XRON B1.3 but moved to that from Alpha3 to see if it'd fix the problem I was having given that there have been some fixes in XRON since the latest core CM7. In both cases Currents locks up for me until I get the "Not responding. Wait/Force Close/Report" dialog. I can wait as many times as I want, but it doesn't come back. If I FC then it restarts Currents but it happens again shortly after browsing around.
I think I've seen the same behavior in Google Reader which I have installed to support the Android Pro Google Reader widget, though not nearly as frequently.
I've performed a completely clean reinstall (wipe system and data in addition to cache), and I've done the whole fix permissions and wipe Dalvik/cache partition thing repeatedly.
I'm really impressed by Currents (I also run it on my iPhone and Nook Color) and think it really makes the 10" tablet profile shine! I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why it's locking up frequently on the TP.
I had the force closing problems in alpha 3 but after I switched to alpha 2 everything seems to be working fine.

using cm7 a3 and i'm getting a lot of force closes recently. it seems to be sporadic since i didn't get them at until the other day. i'm patient with the force closes since i'm really just waiting for ICS.
I'm currently using alpha 2.1 and have not had a force close on this app yet.
seems to work perfectly for me
I'm getting FCs on Currents constantly to the point where its almost unuseable. I was alpha 2, in place upgrade to alpha 3. Everything else seems stable.

5 years ago, there wasn't HTML5.
Adobe is doing us a favor with getting rid of adobe flash, if it wasn't so resource hungry then it would've kept going. Adobe dropping flash will not effect it either, in fact it'll probably free up resources for them (i.e. ongoing support) . They've already started to get on the HTML5 bandwaggon (see Adobe Edge).
Hot Air Won't Substitute for Flash
I've heard all kinds of baloney about the use of Flash being sooo bad on Android phones. Well without this, the Samsung S3 and the HTC S1 doesn't work for streaming video on some sites. Now, complainers, give me a GOOD alternative. Or is this a plan to cripple Android phones so they will work as bad as an iPhone?

Chill, and go sideload flash. Problem solved. Android is still not crippled.
And well this is the first step of moving over to HTML5
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
Basically Flash is obsolete with the introduction of HTML5 video just like 32bit Windows programs are obsolete since 64 bit has been around for years. Yet in both cases most sites still use flash and most Windows programs are still only 32bit. I think discontinuing flash support this early was a bad move by Adobe. It was one of the top apps in the Play store and had mostly good reviews. Its just too early to call it dead. Flash was pretty well performing, it allowed 720p youtube videos on my Droid 3 without noticeable lag and 1080p videos on my Touchpad. Since HTML5 has no DRM its not replacing flash anytime soon as its very easy to download an HTML5 video.
If you want flash you can download it from the site in my signature. It runs okay on JB even though its not supported.
Hey everyone, happy holidays . so today i noticed that when i docked my prime to the keyboard and went into the youtube app the fullscreen button didnt show up! i undocked it and BAM there it is, dock it again there it goes. anyone else having this problem? and is there a solution?

It's a problem with the YouTube app. It works just fine if the tab is undocked (not in the keyboard dock).

If its really bugging you revert to the original app by uninstalling the update in the app management settings

It is there, but you have to undock and sometimes rotate to get it to show up. It is a bug, I'm sure it'll be fixed.

After a quick look I discovered that it's not a bug, it's a feature that was added.
Not to worry though, here's a version to try out with the feature disabled. :fingers-crossed:
I take no responsibility for this if it breaks something.
