here it is: http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/ne...ready-feb-24-motorola-xoom-release-date-4810/

Type Motorola Xoom MWC in the youtube search or google video search, I found quite a few using the browser.

It was possible on froyo (at first at least) but I've been with an iPhone and just got my NS. Is there still a way? Sorry if its been covered it but I've looked and couldn't find a difinitive answer. Is there a work around of some sort?

To elaborate, Hulu blocks all Android phones and GoogleTVs due to a disagreement about licensing, I believe. There is a workaround in the Nexus One forums in order to bypass this lock, but because Hulu isn't optimized for viewing on a Flash-enabled mobile device it's quality can leave something to be desired. At least for me, anyway.
As far as streaming content from Netflix goes, there isn't an app for that just yet as far as I'm aware, which is strange considering WP7 phones launched with one for them. There are apps to manage your queue, but that's pretty much it.

I never found a need to use Hulu/Netflix on my N1 but wasnt the work around just a modified flash.apk file.
Maybe something has changed but thats what I remember, changing the browser user agent used to work, but i doubt thats the case now

I think it was a combination of the modified Flash.apk and the browser UA... but like you, I never really used it. I tried Hulu once, was getting terrible FPS(was like watching a slideshow), and never went back. Now that we have a much nicer GPU on the Nexus S, it might be a little more bearable buuut... meh.

Don't say that... I still have the "iPod" (iPhone) in my drawer... lol. The point is to have one device... Its pointless to have 2 or 3 sperate devices on your person. I already have a 4g clearspot that works great... had to get it with my NS (on at&t) well hopefully they'll release something soon with Netflix integration. Android has been around for a while now I can't believe there's nothing for this

Here seems to be the answer regarding Netflix on Android: http://blog.netflix.com/2010/11/netflix-on-android.html
Interesting read, but it's the usual Hollywood concern about possible pirating.
You have to get the modified flash .apk and the change the UA string to desktopto run it. You can find the file in the N1 forums. I had it working on 2.3 for a while but after I updated to 2.3.1 it wouldn't install correctly. Honestly, the video quality isn't that good. The only way to get a decent amount of fps is to use the igoogle app from the desktop version of the page. And sites like megashare work just fine with no hack and have much higher fps.

Yes, sort of hoping for an announcment but it was just a look at honeycomb for tablets. Glad the android market is accessible from a web browser now.
Guess we'll have to wait for google I/O for the big one...
Is there any place to watch it for those who missed the live stream?
Where to catch the replay? I'd like to know what's new.
Actually one can see the replay using the youtube link in the first post.

The conference may not have had that much to do with us; but I think it does mean that there will be a lot more high quality apps being made with the 3d system and the sliding window things.
So yesterday i received a cr-48 from google. I about **** myself. Being one of the lucky ones i decided to start a blog that compared my evo and the netbook. What I'm looking for is ideas to do comparisons on. From simple to complex and anything in between. After a day of pretty intense use i haven't been able to find much on the basic side of things that one trumps the other on.
So shoot me ideas on what i could try to make these 2 devices do battle with. Post 2 will be reserved for things covered and things to be covered. I will try to keep up with this as much as possible and post my review and comparison at http://evovscm48.blogspot.com/

To cover:
Google Voice and Video Chat
At least give us a picture of the thing, sheesh.
How is the call quality on the netbook? I know...bad comparison. I bet the evo wins.
This gives me a great idea! I got these apples the other day, I'm gonna go out and get me some oranges and do a comparison.
I kid, I kid.

I know, I was just messing with you I'm pretty pissed, I signed up the minute they launched their pilot program and I haven't gotten one. I wonder if they take browsing history into account when selecting who these go to... That might explain why I wasn't picked.

Wow, you got your Cr-48 late. I got mine 2 months ago when they first started shipping.
Have you discovered where the dev switch is yet?
Hell...I'm just happy I got one.
I just got mine too a couple days ago.
I haven't gotten one yet, still hoping to, but I've seen some other sites that say that the cr-48 has Bluetooth in it so that plus the Verizon card built into it might work for calls or voip.

I know (almost) everyone is still upset about missing the steal... um, deal of the year, but does anyone know anything about this:
http://www.applelover.org/android-30-p-1088.html
I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.
So many red flags all over this.
Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.

A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom

Sad part is, I was investigating this for my buddy around the time you guys were making off like bandits. He sidetracked me from my normal XDA browsing time!
I want one...I love my Xoom but this other thing has the ability to "access various types of flies, whatever the source". Take that Motorola!

If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.

Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.
I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.
I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.
Thanks again OP.

He was trolling.
I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.
I started a blog that gives an in-deth look at the A7+ so that developers and consumers alike can check it out without actually buying the device. I've noticed that there are very few reviews or videos on the A7+, so those will be coming to the blog.
I don't mean for this to be an advertisement for my blog (it's really only temporary), it's just that I really couldn't find any info on the device, and am hoping to prevent that for future buyers. Also, if a developer sees this and says "hey! I'd like to develop for that device" then that would be awesome .

Thanks, man. Really useful. Looks like 1saleaday put it up for sale again for $90 and I'm thinking about getting it. I think it will come up in the future so this is a great resource. Very detailed information.
Could you do some videos? I am wondering about the pinch to zoom. I heard it was horrible when it came out but then they released a firmware to make it better. Have their been releases after that to improve pinch to zoom?
I also heard you mention bugs/shortcomings in another thread. Could you talk about those as well on your page?

That was the A7, NOT the A7+. This is exactly why I started the blog- so many people confuse the two
The A7 had "1 + 1" input, which is NOT true multitouch.
The A7+ has 4 points multi-touch.

Are you referring to the ROMs? Because ALL the custom ROMs by Dexter have some pretty major bugs (depending on how you look at them). Videos and posts will be written about the ROMs after I finish checking out the stock firmware.
