It was just a demo for the Google I/O. It's not yet available (if it ever will be).

It will be, probably gingerbread though it was a sneak peak sort of thing.

Ahh, okay. Thanks for the replies. See what GoogleClaus brings us for Christmas then?

Was the new marketplace for Gingerbread as well? Because it basically uses the same tech as the "Send to phone" app

The new marketplace does not need an OS update after Froyo. Froyo already have the "send to phone" feature included. Now it's just a matter of when Google will put the new marketplace online (maybe in a few weeks as they are still testing it).

Yeah someone above just said it was for Gingerbread and not Froyo which is why i asked

Marketplace is updated in froyo.. you can do automatic updates and stuff. Slight changes here in froyo land but more significant than 2.0 -> 2.1. Its not as revolutionary as you think based on some of the stuff they were giving as sneak peaks for gingerbread. Still.. i can get flash beta on my phone and have it set to auto update. still messing with it all now.
Edit: I could be wrong on the send to phone thing.. my understanding was ginger bread. My bad if i gave out wrong info.

Send to phone is part of Froyo, its a developer API so until some devs implement it it won't work

Found it: http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vlingo for Android Now Available!?!?!?

I have been a long time fan of Vlingo for Blackberry and I read that it is now available for Android. I can't seem to find it in the market and I even went to www.vlingo.com/getvlingo. When I pull up the link it opens the market and says that there are no results for my search? Has anyone been able to successfully install this on the N1 running Froyo? If so, please enlighten me on how to do so.
Also, does this new version support Bluetooth voice dial since 2.2 has the ability now? One more thing, I did the build.prop mod to show all protected apps in the Market. Maybe that has something to do with it? If so, how do I revert this as well?

Vlingo pulls up fine for me - stock 2.1 (search for vlingo pulls it right up)
I'm on Froyo and can't pull up vlingo either (also went through Market and the getvlingo links).
Can anyone throw it up on a mirror?
Thanks!

Geez, ten bucks? What is it supposed to do that the inbuilt voice command cannot?
I used Vlingo when I had a BB and I didn't like it, and it was free at that time.

This is what they've got on their blog.
well, considering that voice to text should be available in any field that you are using the stock keyboard (i use swype, so i only turn stock on when i'm in the car), seems like vlingo is worthless
maybe i'm wrong
Thats pretty deceiving, since you can use the built-in android VR to compose emails and txt messages. I've done it many times, and it works great. I also use it to update my facebook status. As far as i can tell, there's really nothing that you CAN'T do with the built in VR, since you can use it anywhere you can use the keyboard.
Just got a reply back from support.
I was asked if my phone is rooted and if so that's the issue because the Market blocks Dev and Rooted phones.
Errrrr, hmmmm.
Anybody going to dish out 10 bucks for it and give us a review?

I got the exact same email from them about 5 minutes ago. I was solely interested in BETTER Bluetooth voice dial which they DON'T support at this time... I'm over it!
I suspect it doesn't show up in the market on Froyo devices because Google changed their voice recognition API in Froyo. They'll have to make some changes to the code and compile it with the 2.2 sdk.
I bought the app on my 2.1 Droid. The voice recognition is a lot better than Google's. I can actually use this, talk naturally, and don't have to worry about making corrections after the fact. I've got it mapped to hold on search hardware button, I say "Send an email to John Doe subject look at this message I composed this entire email without using my keyboard". It will ask me to verify the contact and email address I want to send to, let me choose to send with gmail or my exchange account, and insert the subject line and text in the message automatically. It's very slick and makes voice recognition really useful on android.

Read my post above yours. This is what they were referring to.
As far as froyo support, I may be wrong: http://blog.vlingo.com/2010/05/android-22-froyo-support-for-vlingo.html
Bottom line is that as soon as Android Market flips the switch and recognizes the 2.2 OS as an officially released OS, Vlingo will show up as available for download. We'll certainly let you know once Android Market makes the change, and all you Froyo pioneers will be free to download Vlingo at your leisure.

So the only difference is that you can create and send an email without actually opening the Gmail app?
That's still false advertising as you can indeed Compose an email through voice.
If they made a distinction between "open apps using your voice", then it would be correct. But the way they are phrasing it is totally false.
I bought it, mapped it to long-press search button. The very first time I used it, it worked perfectly. "Text Google Weather [my zip code]" and sure enough, Handcent opened and the TXT was 100% correct. That was the only time it worked though. Everything else was close, but enough off I had to manually input something (find the correct contact or change the body of the message). Wasn't very impressed with it at all.

yes it does, and I have froyo. It was something to do with my wifi for some reason. As soon as I turned off my wifi and sent a link it was instant. Don't know why but my wifi was borking it up. Works great now, except for on wifi
Whenever I send a link from either Google Chrome or Firefox I feel my phone vibrate and then I get a Force Close. Don't know what is causing it. Tried on both 3G and Wifi.
I *love* Chrome to Phone; any time a youtube video pops up, I just c2p it and watch it on my Captivate while still keeping an eye on the screen. Little things like that which make 2.2 totally worth it for me.
Wasn't there a reverse to this? I have been doing this for quite a while with a QR code extension on chrome, but I've been really missing a way to send phone pages to chrome.
Great app. Runs smoothly on 2.2!

Just downloaded it, awesome app. HQ playback on 3G.
I was able to find it via the device market place. Just go to Apps and do a search for YouTube and you would find it in the list.
But I am not sure about the app's search functionality. I have tried searching for a video in native WP7 YouTube app, which gave me a bunch of results, but the same search did not come up with any results on the HTC YouTube one.

Really really like the app, way better than the other youtube app.
It is kind of slow/laggy though but overall it is a great app, needs the ability to sign in with account.

Flux - Google Reader

I found this app on the Market for anyone that came from or is coming from Android. It's probably the best Google reader app.
Syncs and everything!
Has anyone downloaded or bought the app? What does the paid version do?

With paid version you get:
Multiple Live Tiles, you can pin any feed/folder to start
Full image caching, with Trial version the caching is limited to images of the newest 25 articles per sync
Option to change font size in article-reading
Hope this helps,
edoardo
PS: I'm the developer of Flux, with your purchase you also receive lots of Flux Love!
Thanks/ I think you can add this on the market place listing.

Hi Mike, thanks for your support!
Go to settings and check these settings:
caching tab
- Cache images: wi-fi only (or always if you're not on a wi-fi)
- When not cached, download images: always
live tiles tab
Show image of newest unread: Yes
For the images to be shown, the article must have at least one image in the "preview" (the html got by the feed).
Hope this helps,
edoardo
PS: I'll follow up in email too, so to be sure that everything is working as expected.
