no flash support at the moment. Skyfire does have flash support.

Does anyone know what rendering engine it's based on?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this app is awesome. so fast. it has many settings that let you get the zoom experience but the font cant be increased. that is the only drawback. other than that its as fast as opera mini, easier to use(no jbed environment, less memory hungry), and FREE!
Now if I could get that font to be a lil bigger...
A must have for all Pro users
Tabbed browsing as well.

Ucweb better than IE & Opera
This is the best browser!! I was using IE & Opera, but both were running very slow. Ucweb is much faster & downloads much quicker. Thank you, kind sirs (siresses), for this software.

I can't seem to get images to show up on this browser very well. Through a series of enabling and disabling show images + reloads, I can sometimes get some of the images on a page to show up, but it is very unreliable..
Acid3 score is 1/100 too.

as a chinese user, I've been using the chinese version of ucweb for years ever since I've got a phone with java support (the browser was firstly in java but now there are wm version android version etc, all of them work great).
This browser can not render webpages that similar to our desktop computers like the new opera did, and It might be a little bit slower when connecting (if the server for the english version is still in China...not sure..maybe it's not) than the others, but it is definitely a must have browser. It's lightweight comparing to opera and it works perfectly.
basing on my personal experience (using the chinese version), it saves a lot of data comparing to opera and of course IE (really useful if you have a very limited data plan) . I would assume the english version does that too.
Well anyway,
<in robotic voice> I MUST SUPPORT THIS THREAD xDDDD

My new favorite browser, I saw it on the market last night and downloaded it to test it out. Love how it can load up videos that you used to not be able to load...only problem is that it takes forever to do so because it converts them on the fly.
I get FC anytime I try to open it. oh well.
Nice!
I've been using this for a couple of days now... It is MUCH better than the standard browser or Opera Mini.

It's nothing superb, it just has features that standard browser lacks. Browser is too "basic".
fast access to anything through gestures
nice context menu on long touch on something, which includes zooming (so buttons don't cover up webpage)
auto rotation of screen without page reload (and it is very fast too)
fast tab switching through moving out (left or right) of a webpage
caching webpages: if you load up some page, then exit browser, run something else, so browser will be killed and then return back, Dolphin will load this page from some kind of cache
Why is this in the dev forum?
And this browser doesn't work with hulu.
Nice browser....but
On some website, it just exit and I'm back at my G1's home screen.
Any ideas?

windroid china phones

I came across this.
WinDroid - Windows 6.5 Pro + Android Smartphone with GPS
The results are in. The new WinDroid Smartphone is hands-down the most versatile smartphone on the planet. Here’s why:
The Best of Both Worlds
For the first time ever you can take advantage of today’s two best operating systems in one powerful and compact cellphone. For business people on the go the Windroid features the latest Windows 6.5 professional OS. This allows you to easily sync this phone with Outlook Express email as well as edit your Excel, PowerPoint and Word files all while away from your desk. When work is over simply select the popular Android OS and let the fun begin!
With the Android OS (developed by Google) you have the ability to customize and enhance this phone exactly how you like it. Simply download and install the Android Marketplace application, then select from thousands of new games, ringtones, wallpapers, applications and more- all from the convenience of your mobile phone. The Android OS also provides you with full integration of your Gmail accounts, Google calendar, Google maps and much more. Sounds fantastic right? Well, this is only the beginning...
First-class Design
The WinDroid provides a truly enjoyable experience that is sure to satisfy the senses. This is accomplished by using a colorful and vibrant 3.2 inch touchscreen that responds instantly to the slightest touch of your fingertip or stylus. The touchscreen sits flush into the phones all-flat surface and makes “sliding and sweeping” your finger to browse through web pages, photos, and eBooks both easy and convenient.
The in-hand feel is very comfortable too. That’s because this smartphone is only 14mm thick and is ergonomically designed so that only a single hand is needed to access the entire feature set. Another highlight is the touch-sensitive flush mount buttons located on the bottom of the phone which provide you with quick access to the call, end call and menu functions. The buttons vibrate when pressed and provide a unique look and feel to this already attractive cellphone.
Powerful Hardware
Tech junkies will be pleased to know that the WinDroid is no slouch; let’s take a look inside. At the heart of this device is the time-tested Marvell PXA310 CPU running at a swift 624 MHz. This is more than enough power to enjoy CPU demanding tasks such as watching your favorite high resolution movies, rendering complex webpages like YouTube or playing the latest video games. The WinDroid also features a powerful 802.11 b/g wireless card for lightning fast internet speeds as well as the Inner Sirf III GPS chip for use with your favorite GPS software. Powerful enough? We think so.
And There’s More!
Due to space limitations we cannot talk about every single feature this smartphone has to offer. But additional highlights include: full Bluetooth support, a true 2 megapixel camera/camcorder that captures beautiful images, GPS compatibility with popular software like TomTom and iGo, full Google Maps support, Skype support, MSN support and a powerful multimedia decoder for enjoying videos, photos, music and eBooks. The WinDroid smartphone offers all of these and many more high quality features that are sure to keep you entertained, increase efficiency, and keep you at the forefront of technology.
The Final Verdict
Let’s face it. Both Windows and Android have their distinct advantages. And until now you where stuck having to decide between one or the other. Thankfully, those days are finally over. Take this opportunity now to own an Android and Windows 6.5 Pro smartphone at the same price it would cost you for a good Android phone. To be frank, this is quite possibly the best value smartphone we have ever seen here at Chinavasion, or anywhere else for that matter. If you plan on getting one soon we advise you to order quickly while supplies last. And remember, all products from Chinavasion include our hassle-free full 12 month warranty.

[APP] Simple (unrestricted!) YouTube app [V0.3] - Updated

Hey all,
I was tired of not being able to find certain video's in the popular YouTube apps out there in the MP. So I decided to throw a quick and simple app together which (at least for me) is able to locate and play the same results as the desktop version of YouTube.
So VeVo video's etc and other copyrighted stuff normally not available on mobile is available with this app. Please let me know if it also works in Germany.
Let me know if there is any interest, i might do further development. It is very basic now and all built in one day. Dont expect too much of it. Quick and simple, enjoy it!
Xap is attached...

Thank you! Great App!
I tried it on my Omnia 7 and It works fine, but some videos aren't smooth, for example Pixie Lott - Turn It Up by pixielottvevo in Standard Definition.
If you could fix it, it would be perfect
Thanks again!
I have to say that it is so nice to have a YouTube app that has a wonderfully clean interface, allows us to watch ALL videos, and runs so smoothly. Haven't noticed anything about choppy video playback. I don't mean to discredit the other wonderful Youtube apps available but the clutter that comes with them seems unnecessary and very distracting. It is my belief that most users are just searching and watching and the "featured", "most played", and most "discussed" sections of other apps are overkill. This is the perfect replacement for the HTC YouTube app which for most of us has to be sideloaded(like this one of course) but which also doesn't play copyrighted videos. Please, please, please keep it simple and focus on optimization if anything if future updates Even the simplicity of your icon is perfect!!!! And the use of the native player without the overlay and extra options is great as well!!!!
Yes that was indeed my intention. Ill fix the crash bug when there is no internet (stupid wp7 apis need 100 try catches).
Also Ill probably implement something like search on channel and add the possibility to read comments. The main focus is to get ALL videos supported.
Also I have no control over the smoothness of playback as it is handled by native wp7, could be a crappy encoded video. Or maybe a memory issue (restart might fix it?). So I cant really optimize on that regard.
I might add a pivot to move to the left for comments and related videos? Seems usefull I think. And perhaps allow one to click on the name of the publisher/channel so I can load up those videos.
Thanks for the positive and useful feedback!
Very nice, I never noticed that the videos were restricted (via metrotube or anything).
I also like how minimal this is, straight to the videos is great.

Make sure your phone is not connected to the pc as this will disturb smooth playback. It can be that the video is badly encoded or a memory issues. I pass the playback directly on to the wp7 media player.
Updated! Added some more features and some refinements. I think ill also implement the reading of comments, not sure if ill implement also commenting itself as that would require login etc which is quite some work.
Nice additions (authors, playlists by search). Simple but something I think a lot of users use a lot. Comments might be nice, seeing as the your UI design allows for it once you've selected a video (there's space for it). I know its your app but i really think you have something here and dare i say you could easily charge for this and make some money other than the ads. Although the ads are hardly noticeable due to the way you've implemented them. Videos load faster and smoother than any other app out there. They are right on par with the HTC Youtube app. I might be alone in this, but Im happy that you took out the "featured videos" that load when you start the app. I can search and be watching what I want before most other apps have even loaded. Stellar. I love the white background as well but might I suggest a black theme (might go nice with the metro dark theme if thats what a user is running).
Thanks
Yes I can get it into the mp without ads, Im only afraid I can not use these logos and name and ill have to use a non branded name than. Ill have to think about maybe an in app pay system to remove the add. But all this will come much later. Will still have to design a start page and implement comments.
Should i use a button to toggle the comments or a pivot?
i would recommend a pivot. That way it gives the user the option to look at them if they want. I would assume it will allow for a quicker load of the "play video" page but it will still leave the option available if the user wants. Also, a pivot will add to the already nicely implemented "metro" theme. To be perfectly honest, the ads are minimal and very non-invasive. I would have no problems if you just left them and Im sure most other people would agree. Of course, entering the marketplace etc. is something I can't speak to. Any plans for a dark theme.
dosnt seem to play age restricted videos and no log in option available is their a way around this?

No login implemented yet. Ill look into the age restricted stuff later. With unrestricted I mean whether users can watch vevo etc.
Also Ive not specifically looked into germany as germany may get different results (in the xmls it specifically states restricted DE... Can any german guy confirm whether VEVO returns a result?)
The login might come but that needs more work, the simplicity and availability to play desktop results were first. Its quickly built
@yeahyeahyeah1981: good news man, I implemented a pivot with comments and related videos its looking nice. I still have a tiny problem with losing the instance so ill have to implement some saving and loading but that will be done somewhere this week and that ill post the newer version
Dark theme no plans yet. But should not be too hard to implement, ill just need to cut out the logos and dont like that haha other than that its just binding to variables find and replace Black with {Binding ForeGroundColor} and same for white. But I also need to make settings etc.

Is this app comparable to MetroTube?
It is better than MetroTube. It enables users to download videos and you can sync the downloaded videos to PC. It has more solid functions. You can try it. If it works, please modify the reviews in the marketplace.
Thankx mister, but the translation fr-FR is very very very "Google" :s
I would like to offer my service to translate in "Native" French Language, send me a PM if you want
Poloche,
thank you !!!
The inbox features doesn't work for me(wont show my youtube messages).
I like it. Thus far its better than metrotube.
If you have any questions, please email to [email protected].
Search does not work....See the reviews in the marketplace...
Where did you use the search function? If you do the search in the my downloader, it is for searching downloaded files.

So after getting the update today, this is sort of a complete overhaul of the SuperTube app huh?
I like it. Looks good, smooth, a nice mix of styles like the Fuze style of Top Rated and such. Great work.
Now the only thing I need to check is if I can successfully get the videos off the phone which never worked for me with the older SuperTube. :/
Hello guys,
is there a similiar app (style and function) for android?
Cheers!
I use that app some time now its really great
Cool beans an paid for, have a 1/4 of a pint on me
Search works if you do the search, click the home button, then arrow back. Idk why it works that way. Metrotube was better for me, but metro tube wouldn't play or search vevo videos. and the vevo app sucks. So I might keep this.
Yes, I have received your email. Thank you for using our app. When we want to update the app, we will send you the text of app. You could help us to translate in native french language.
difference between paid and free are just the ads am i right?
Downloaded it last night. I had no issues watching or downloading movies. I will certainly buy the version without the ads. thanks.

[Q] Saved Video is now choppy but flash YouTube works ok.

I've got videos (recorded on my phone and were synched to my kindle) in my dropbox account that I've been able to watch on my kindle straight from the APP on my home screen. They're also saved on my kindle and I've watched them before, But now if I try to watch them, they're either choppy (sound plays fine but video skips and shows still shots of each frame) or it'll say it's unable to play.
I tried going straight to the dropbox website and playing them but it says unable to play. I saved them to the kindle manually from dropbox, but. Still choppy or unable to play. Flash is already installed and works fine, even YouTube, with no lag at all.
Anyone have any idea why it'll play video correctly online but not from kindle hard drive or dropbox? I know the videos aren't corrupt because I've watched them before and I re downloaded them today with no change.
Thanks for your help, I hope this makes sense!
Are you running out of storage space? My KF7HD gets pretty slow and unresponsive when i got just one gig or less of space available
Do you install or side load any app when your video play get choppy? not so long ago i sideload sega's "jet set radio" and while it install ok, the play was choppy and it slow down my KF in general, after uninstall it every thing return to normal.

Dropbox is a phenomenal service. Over 25 Million Users Agree. We use the service extensively within Xerocomm (Prokennexusa Company) for file transfer and syncing of non-sensitive files, and it has become a part of our daily production workflow. Most of our partners and customers use Dropbox as well, to shuttle files back and forth with us. In fact, several Xerocomm team members have reached the referral limit because of the number of other users they have brought onto the service.
At a high level, this seems like a great use of the service:
Installation is easy – users simply need to download the app, sign up with a credit card, and start using.
Users can download for offline playback
Publishing consists of a user that has access to the shared folder dropping video into the folder
However, there are a lot of problems with this approach:
Security: Dropbox has had a fair number of security holes discovered. While most services will have issues that need to be found, addressed, and appropriately apologized for, the approach Dropbox seems to take is “simplicity over security”. They prefer the service to be simple and easy to use, and if necessary security takes a back seat.
Content security: Dropbox is not built to keep your content secure. Video and documents are stored in exactly the same format that you place them into a Dropbox folder. The only form of device-level security is a four-digit PIN; beyond that, content can be easily retrieved from any rooted or hacked device.
Speed: Uploading a video to Dropbox’s service is slow. Even over fast Wifi connections. Even on paid accounts. The company is clearly limiting bandwidth, in the interest of constraining costs. We have seen speeds as slow as 30kbps. This translates into ~10 hours to upload a 1GB file. The system was not created for speed, and as a result transferring large videos will take a long time.
Playback: Playing video via Dropbox uses the simplistic progressive download method. High-quality videos buffer constantly, or require a large amount of time to fully download prior to playback. Meanwhile, modern adaptive bitrate technology like HTTP Live Streamingor RTMP is nowhere to be found.
Control: Dropbox offers rudimentary support for permissions. A folder in a user’s account is fully locked down. That user can share that folder to another Dropbox user. However, say you want to give 3 users read-only permissions to a folder? Or, worse yet, say you have two sub-folders that should only be visible for one of your users? None of this is possible with Dropbox, and you are forced to constrain your choices to match the simplicity of the service. Worse yet, since there is no ability to give users “read-only” access, any user with whom you share files can then delete those files!
So the big question, what can I do to accomplish this task? Use a Paid service that does NOT throttle the connections - at the moment almost all the current free products throttle video feeds to eliminate Pornography from being hosted from these sites.. There are many to choose from, just Google "Open Source Video Playback Services). Finally YouTube uses a format that requires very little bandwidth so it does not surprise us that YouTube is working fine.
