I know I was looking for something similar to MyMobiler for Android ... with no luck, and I'm sure some of you have been too.
This is still in beta but the idea seems cool .. at least you can txt from your PC.
I've tried to sign up but I believe they are very busy right now. Looks very cool though. Hope they do a FireFox plugin eventually.

i got accepted into beta, love it.
Just got in too - working brilliantly!
Been using this since it was Texty. Very cool. Not without its quirks, but definitely worth having if you use chrome.

I've been using it for a while, so far I like it but one day I was unable to receive and texts until I uninstalled the app.
After the app change names to mighty text I have not had that issue recur.

Hey, has anyone managed to find a file in .apk format of the recently released alpha? they only way you can get it from mozilla's site is in a .install file, which, because of our darling At&t, we cant do anything with...
Got apk from here

Thanks for the link
I know it is alpha, but what are the thoughts so far on it? I find it very slow. I hope they can get gear monkey incorporated on this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
They proboably won't start optimizing the code until it goes beta. Alpha is more about just getting the feature set right and making sure everything works moderatly well.
More than likely they re-used as much code as possible from the desktop variant (to get it going) which is def. not optimized for a mobile device.
It looks promising to me. I like the way tabs are handled and add-ons will be really cool if they ever take off (I need fire gestures).
Thanks for the link, dang you AT&T .........
It runs like crap, and fc randomly, dont know why they even released this to the puplic,
I will say this about, its much more functional than the pre alpha I've been testing the past couple weeks, certainly not ready for day to day use, but its nice to see mozilla making progress
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I know it's alpha, but as soon as I load it it freezes. They aren't kidding about alpha, maybe they should list it as nearly operable.

It looks like it will be cool with the weave sync and all. Unfortunately I can't get it to run for more than a min without a force close.I did visit gmail and it wa formatted for an old flip type phone and just text...not for a smart phone like we are use to setting with an android browser.

I don't even get an FC. App just dies randomly. Otherwise, it looks really nice. I'm digging the interface. Once it gets stable, this will be my default browser
Now since ie9 has been released to public beta can we get a chrome2phone addon for it that would be perfect or someone try to find a work around to get it working. Thanks.

I hate to admit it, but I've been comparing the latest IE9 Beta to the latest Chrome6 Beta. IE9 (for HTML5) performance is a GOOD DEAL better on almost every site i visited (both MS and non MS sites). I estimated some of the performance tests were more than 3 times faster in IE9!
Give the tests a go here: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
While I am staying with Chrome for now, I will definately be tempted to go back to IE if HTML5 in Chrome does not improve.
Disclamer, it could be that the Chrome installation on my PC is no good!?!
Yeah IE has always and will always suck. I can't possibly think of any reason somebody would want to use IE when there's Firefox and Chrome (even Opera and Safari). With anything made by MS you have to spend all your time configuring it and apparently you need to go through an entire workaround just to set Google as the default search engine. Don't even attempt to tell me that you really prefer "Bing".
Actually I hate having seperate web browsers I have tried them all and I love ie especially since the ie9 beta was just released. But everyone has there own preference and mine is ie all I was wanting was chrome2phone to run on ie is their anything wrong with that.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Nothing wrong w/u'r question. I'm no longer using chrome since IE9beta rocks!
I been working all morning on trying to figure out how to create a Haddon for ie9 so we cab have ie2phone I will get it eventually once I do I need help developing a webpage for this.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Any luck yet on this? I've been using the IE9 beta, and it is sweeet. Only weakness is I really hate having to open firefox or chrome to send stuff to my EVO. We really need IE9-to-phone.
I know there's Android 2 cloud, like chrome 2 phone, but in reverse. Throwing it out there in case someone hasn't heard. I use chrome though, so can't help you there. =D G' luck.

its buggy yeah, but they will fix that. LOVE the bookmark/password sync with your desktop pc, and as soon as they fix addons and JIT.... oh man its gonna be nice.
^nice avatar, the att logo imposed over the death star, kinda acurate.
ill give fire fox a shot. i kinda like opera mini but firefox looks cool
Wrong forum. This is an app right. And there are many better browsers currently than firefox.
Just tested it, I love desktop Firefox, but this version is much slower, and is having much bigger problems with elements like Flash than default browser - it definitly has much to improve.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It's very buggy
Everything takes time to improve. No doubt mozilla will be making it better
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Ok. Just installed and tested it out. it sucks. Way slower than stock browser and flash doesnt work at all, what gives. I was hoping hulu would work. No dice. I know its just beta though oh well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Its got a nice UI, but its pretty slow right now.
Stock browser as always been the fastest and the must compatible with websites (formatting).
However, xScope comes as a very close second with great speed and functionality. The new version has a nice ui, but the free version has a watermark (xScope 6). The old paid version is now free on the developer's website however.
(these comments are based on my experiences looking for the best browser)
Stay with stock or try xscope imo

Yeah, the sync is one thing that I live by right now as I move from OSX, Ubuntu, Windows, Android it is nice to have the same thing everywhere. Marry it up with LastPass and all is rocking perfect.
I have Dolphin HD as my primary still though. Firefox will get there. I suspect that as the tablets start hitting the market, and FF4 goes mainstream we will see a huge push in this dev as there will be a huge market for it.
I downloaded the fennec browser but how can I install it. When I try to open it I get a message saying its blocked because its not from android marketplace?

Need to be rooted - or you can use the Wonder Machine to sideload applications to your phone.
I think we are losing sight of the fact that this is a BETA! nowhere near the final product, I have been testing this app since pre-alpha and it has made miles of improvements, if the fixes continue at the rate they have been since it was available for download, the final product will sail

Totally agree. This product is no release candidate. Look at it for potential, not current usability.
New beta is now smoother and faster than dolphin
Still no flash, and the dumb thing restarts everytime you go into it. You lose your last webpage.
I also noticed that you can't pass url's into it (like out of an sms)
Using it sparingly now over dolphin because it's smoother. No replacement yet.
I just downloaded and installed the latest. Slow and buggy.
Uninstalled.
Will definitely try at a future time.

I'm using mTorrent Lite for when im connected to WiFi. Works great. Obviously not suggested when on 3G.
what about something like PeerGuardian/equivelant to go along with it?
I'm using mtorrent as well but only getting 1mb sec load speed. I have 4 meg DSL.. shouldn't it be at 400k a sec?
In the same vein, has anyone seen a usable Usenet app?

I use NewzDroid and it does exactly what I expected it to. They also make the software Unrar and Unrar Pro... it would be really nice if they would just integrate the applications together though.
I see that there is now another offering on the Market called Droid NewzLeecher (which appears to have some pretty bad reviews)
The app that I use is ttorrent and I love it. I have tried all of them and this one is by far the best. I get speeds on average of 250kb/s but that might be due to the speed of my wifi connection.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App with a Motorola Xoom
I don't have a Xoom, but on my Nexus One I use the free uTorrent remote app. This is not torrenting on the phone, it torrents to my home computer running uTorrent. However, the app allows you to download the files from your home computer once they are completed. It is a very clean app and works great on my phone, so if it runs on the Xoom and that way of doing things works for you, it might be a great solution.
I'm aBTC on my desire. Give it a go.
swarm is one of the best clients i've seen, but it is $5.
I am really enjoying Plume on my Xoom, but I have run across a pretty nasty bug that is really hindering the app. I was never able to click on ANY link in Plume. If I did, I would get an option to open with Plume or Mobo Video Player. No matter what I selected, immediately after selecting one I would get a Force Close. This happened every single time, without fail. I thought it was weird that Mobo was an option to open every link, so I uninstalled it, and Plume worked great. No more FC's. Reinstalled Mobo and right back to forc closing anytime I clicked on a link.
Maybe this will help solve a similar problem for some. Anyone else run into this? I have send a bug report to Levelup Studio, but forgot to mention the part about Mobo lol. I have also been trying to get their attention on Twitter, but so far they haven't responded. I suppose I will now send a proper email so hopefully thiss can be fixed. I have Mobo uninstalled right now, and am really diggin Plume, but have also come to really like Mobo for watching movies so would like to see them play nice together.
Are you running the beta release of plume? I have both installed on my zoom but do not get any FC's

Do yourselves a favor and get the honeycomb beta. It's the best Twitter app for HC right now and I have had zero force closes with it.
