Plese check it out and let me know what you think.

good first impressions. surprised to see how well the nexus 7 screen looked when it was streaming the movie. UI looks very snappy. looking forward to your full video review. Right be a good idea to show off some tegra3 optimized games like Dead Trigger. also on how fast the stock chrome browser is.

I like the video. Simple enough to cover the basics of the tablet (screen, video, jellybean, etc.) and a simple comparison against the fire. The video didn't go too much in depth against the Fire but that'd be a separate video in itself.

Which rooting video was that you were talking about? Can't find one myself.

Great video but its not identical to the phone layout. Email and contacts and many other Apps run in tablet mode.

I did misspeak you are correct.
I'll be sure to bring that up!

I gave you a thumbs up! All these videos, I still cannot believe how snappy that tablet looks. Cannot wait until tomorrow.

N64droid!!!

http://www.zodttd.com/wp/2010/07/are-you-still-working-on-the-n64-emulator-for-android/
although this is more than two months ago, and psx4droid has several known problems I can't wait till this comes out!
sick - im eagerly anticipating this myself
in other news, from twitter
"zodttd: @Rotkaeqpchen It's in the works, but I'm focusing on psx4droid's update at this moment."

If he's not working on it I wish he would just give me what's done so far and I could finish it he can buy the rights to it so I can't make any money off it I just really want it on my phone.

why don't you contact him, i could send him your info on twitter
It's like ZottD is dead or something, no posts on his webpage about anything for 2 months. I hope he's just working behind the scenes, and hopefully not doing what the rumors are about going back to development on iOS. :/
no zodttd is answering people daily on his twitter page, and he says he's working
Good to hear! definitely looking forward to trying an n64 emu... man I imagine it would be hard for touchscreen controls only though for most games. .... maybe not though.

i think n64oid might be dead in the water.....
I am not excited about this. Psx4droid is mediocre and un usable if I don't find an old version and n64 is much more graphically intensive. His iphone psx4all runs much smoother on lesser hardware.
I hope the fpsce team chooses to make and android app.

You think its unplayable? Its perfectly playable when you have the phone running 1ghz or higher...the sound is just distorted sometimes. I think they have a pretty good beta. I want someone to finih it.
That being said, the n64 used too many buttons simultaneously to work good on a phone imo...

I think the older versions are playable actually i do play them some. For the current version in the market every game I have tried to play has had completely broken sound. The most typical problem is the it either slows waay down or hangs completely. With no sound the nostalgia feel is easily cut in half for me so i usually just sigh and say whats the point and do something else.

lol just throw it on the screen. or slide out keyboard.
now if the epic could go usb host, make a n64 controller-mini attachment. voila. problem solved

Post your android screencast!

This is a pretty simple really. Just download screencast from the market. Record your video of your setup theme and icons ect ect. Just like posting a screenshot!
So now im on my computer hopefully the video works now. I tried posting the video last night from my phone and it didnt work.
Reserved for future use.
thats a pretty dope app ha. the evolution of the screen capture has finally evolved!
I bought the full version, I think this could be useful later on.

I'm still surprised more people haven't adopted the idea. You can record audio now too allowing you to narrate what you've done and how you acheived it!
How did you get you video to post? If tried everything, ive tried using the youtube tags. I tried the the iframe thing.

Glad you got it sorted mate, and looking good!
This is one thing that definitely benefits from a dual core CPU. On my single core N1, the UI changes don't look fluid because of the app itself using cycles as it records. I understand that recent updates have made the app less resource hungry though which is good.
As i said in my earlier thread, it's nice to see animations and transitions with peoples creations, which still images can't capture. There's some awesome work people are doing and this is the perfect way to show it off.
Let's see what you've all got!

Anyone good with YouTube?!?!

Does anyone know how to add clickable links at the end of the videos?!?
Find the option for annotations.

When you upload the video, go to the edit menu. You should find it. And if the video is not showing, usually you have to wait a few minutes to a few hours until the video is viewable.
I may be wrong - But I think people actually make those in their editing programs. You're talking about how at the end of a video, people have like a clip of their past video and a clip of the one next? and you can click on them?

I was guessing he already knows that is done on the computer, and just wants the thing to be clickable. If he is trying to add the video in, he should not upload to youtube.

I personally use Sony Vegas Pro. But you can use any program that allows you to take two clips and put them in one scene. Depends on your experience.
If you're on apple you can use Final Cut.
Pretty much any decent video editor has the capabilities to do it, you just need to make it manually as far as I know. Google "How to make a video with multiple clips" and you'll get what you're looking for. Save it, export it, and re-import it to your main video, having it transition to it at the end.
Best for hd editing??
I've been using powerdirector...tried pinnacle and vegas but i heard adobe premier is the best.
I dont have a very powerful computer, but still which is the best industry standard hd editing and producing software?

Industry Standard = AVID.
I am using Sony Vegas HD, and I really enjoy it - it works pretty well. Straight forward and you even have an option to upload directly to youtube. I feel it's more of a better-than-usual prosumer piece of software, but it's still good.
You will still need a decent computer, with a good GPU and RAM, decent CPU...
It's going to eat up resources, so you'll have to take that into account especially if you're editing HD footage.

This is for AVID DS (Industry Standard)

Sony Vegas PRO. (trial works well.)

I felt Vegas had a steep learning curve compared to Pinnacle which was almost child's play.

Try the free trial of premiere pro. It's very similar to the rest of the adobe suite.

Yeah, Pinnacle would be easier - it's geared toward prosumers who know a little more about video than the average user.

I didn't like premiere! I found it a bit bloated. But - that's opinion! After Effects really takes the cake for me.

Looks like Chameleon will support Nexus 7

As a backer I'm very excited to see that they posted sample video of Chameleon running on the Nexus 7.
Can't wait!
Hopefully they add a bunch of different widgets moving forward as that will be what makes or breaks the product I'd think.

I want to buy it but I don't want to buy a separate phone version and a tablet version. Anybody know if it's all going to be one product or are they launching 2 separate purchasable versions?

It's made for tablets... not for phones.
I'm a backer as well. Supposedly they'll be setting up a way for people to download it via the Play Store if you backed them. I'm not sure how that is going to work.

HP Touchpad- Is it a good tablet?

Looking at trading my PS Vita due to non-use for an HP Touchpad with dual boot -32 GB. Is there anything I can't do with the tablet- like netflix, skype, or any android apps that don't work? Sorry for such a noob question!
Overall- is it a good tablet?
Just got mine from Craigslist 2 weeks ago and its an amazing tablet with cm9..couldn't be happier with it

The camera doesn't work in android. I don't know if Skype is available for webos. If you look in themes and app thread there are workarounds for a lot of apps.

Skype works perfectly in Webos. Plus there is a good app for changing boot order and time delay amongst many other things give it a try . I mainly use nightly but do go back to Webos for Skype and a couple off other apps.
Have fun :good:
I haven't been able to get Osmos to work, though others have. Other than that and the above-mentioned camera, it's a great tablet. (Admittedly, it would be easier to just buy a tablet built for Android like the $200 Nexus, but since you seem to have a situation where it's a one-for-one trade, it's still a great tablet.)

I just tried flashing from Oat's Light and Tasty to CM9, and suddenly Osmos works...that was strange. Maybe Oat's was a bad flash somehow. But thanks for the hint about swapping ROMs.
