The title says it all, the WC starts on friday and I still havn't foud a really great app for following the action. So I'd love to hear your suggestions.

i have installed it but need to wait till friday to see if the streaming works

I think I'll stick with fotmob.
About live streaming. I read that yamgo is going to offer it. Is this a UK only service? I can not watch live channels via yamgo in Slovenia.

I'm hearing that TVCatchup.com will be providing an Android version of their web service before the WC starts. Will be a good addition.

Pocket WCup is no doubt the best http://pocketnow.com/software-1/follow-the-world-cup-with-pocket-wcup-for-android

I'm hearing that TVCatchup.com will be providing an Android version of their web service before the WC starts. Will be a good addition.

Yes we will and maybe even releasing this week, so watch our twitter and forums for news.

After reviewing and downloading around 7 apps, I think 2010 World Cup is the best available. http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.luke.worldcup2010

i am using goal.com's app, and very nice it is too, updates very quickly and the photos are brilliant too.

I've got the perfect solution: go to www.proxy.org
enter the url: http://m.tvcatchup.com
select a proxy from a GB website: like action-acces.org(GB, Glype)
For watching do the same use a proxy
edit:
It worked twice watching so its not a quite stable solution

Apps on Honeycomb Wishlist

Which apps do you hope will arrive for Honeycomb soon?
Right now, I'd like the SiriusXM app to work.
That and Skype video chat.

Google Voice would be nice.... you would think it would be on the google agenda

Sometimes it helps to write an email to the developer.

Yeah, it seems obvious that I'd know that but I didn't even think about doing that! Thanks for the tip.
But of course the app itself is beautiful and would look stunning when optimized for tablets.

AM i asking for to much by wanting to use my tablet as a phone from time to time lmao

A app like clipnabber.com to pull videos from the web are video download helper plugin for one of the browsers in the market

If any lag it's going to be on the carrier side of it. [Say, when you use 2GB the first two days on Tmobile and go to Edge speeds or the same with Verizon]
Not the server side.

Depending, obviously, but was more of a joke than anything. I'm pretty pumped for this though. I know some people are going to be bummed about it being a personal music locker essentially - for the forseeable future - but being able to put up a ton of music is what I really want.
And 20k? That's stupid big. Just hope it's not too long of a wait. Lucky XOOMers.

I'm sure it won't take XDA long to find a way for all to use it.
Also, while it would be good for Android to have a better competition vs iTunes....
How many music stores do we really need in this world?

True. Should be interesting. Should be lots of other interesting stuff announced / showcased as well. Lucky attendants!

I downloaded the music app from the market just now. It's the same music app that leaked on here a couple weeks ago. I also signed up for my beta pass. I am patiently waiting just like I did for the google voice pass.

FYI, just found this on Gizmodo:
http://ca.gizmodo.com/5800490/google-will-remove-your-music-from-its-cloud-if-it-infringes-on-copyrights
Via: Gizmodo
Word from Google IO is that Google Music will delete user MP3s, if the copyright holder has a legitimate claim against their music being on the server. And it will use the same backend tech to do so as YouTube.
For end users, this means that album/song leaks and pirated music will not be tolerated. And though it seems like it will be difficult to distinguish what's pirated and what's not, Google will probably use that same analysis tech they use for playlists to verify you have the right to upload that track to Google Music (spectral analysis and/or watermarks could expose rips from different sources). And that means if you've happened to download a leak or any unauthorized rip from the internet, then uploaded it to Google Music, it could be taken down.
And not that Google is wrong for doing so, but that will kill the appeal of Google Music for some people out there. [Google IO]

got a email from sprint about the new Qik

and thought i should share
I'll copy and paste everything cause im lazy
Cool New App
You probably heard the big news, but Qik was acquired by Skype earlier this year. And we’ve been working hard to release our latest rev, adding some great new features. Now you should be able to enjoy live video chat with everyone you know while you’re on the go—even your friends who use iPhones. Yep. That’s right. The new & improved version of Qik Video by Sprint* enables Sprint EVO users to video chat live with anyone who uses an iPhone or Android over 3G, 4G* and WiFi. Plus, you can still instantly record and share videos with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, on YouTube and more.
*If you have anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, including multiple apps, delete it/them.
**iOS devices do not currently utilize a 4G network.
Save Video & Update Now!
Qik! Follow these steps so you can see what (and who) you're missing!
Save your videos!
Check to see what version of Qik you've got.
IMPORTANT: If you have Qik Video Connect-or anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, even multiple apps-hit DELETE! (It's the ONLY way you'll be able to enjoy all Qik Video by Sprint has to offer!)
Download Qik Video by Sprint!
Check and update your HTV EVO software, too.
Brand New Policies
And because we’re now Skype, we have some new policies in place and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have both changed. Effective immediately, the Skype Terms of Use will govern your use of Qik’s software, products and websites and your personal information will be processed in accordance with the Skype Privacy Policy. No action is necessary if you agree with these changes. But if you don’t, you’ll want to review your termination rights in Section 11 of our Terms of Use.
Thank you! We appreciate your support. Keep Qik'king!
LOL @ Qik'king

I'm going to start a micro-blogging site to compete with twitter and call it kweef (yes you read correctly).

Yeah that's weird but that app is actually useful though.

Got the same email, but my work area has little 3G coverage and usually roaming. Tried videochat when it first came out and kept dropping off calls. If the coverage was better in my area I'd prolly use this more often.

I agree, despite the name I use tikl all the time. One of the most used / longest used apps on my phone. It great that it works on all android and iphones no matter what the network. The developer is constantly improving it also. Not sure why there is not pay/donate/adfree version.

But it's only free to Samsung customers so I would consider it warez...

Unless you do have a Samsung device and also want to listen to it on your htc one

True but in no way is it a paid app. It just isn't available to other users. What's the technical definition of warez?

Thanks so much. I've been highly anticipating this since the commercial first aired during the finals. I do have other Samsung devices, but the app would crash shortly after opening. Works great on the One.

This only works if you give them permission to read and post tweets/facebook on your name... what about no. I will just download the album when it get's on the pirate bay.

Right? I don't know why all the fuss. People who can't wait for it to hit stores, will have only to wait like two hours and search of TPB. Anyway, Thanks for the app.

I just made a fake twitter and logged in with it works perfectly

This app is licensed to Samsung only and therefore warez.
The view that it is not a paid app is wrong. Samsung paid for it on behalf of their customers. Thus it is a paid app and prohibited to be distributed on xda.
