Check it out and add to the list if you have a minute to do so.

anyone else having loss of control sensitivity while playing gun bros? Any ideas for a fix?

I refunded back awhile ago because I couldn't use it with HDMI out (droid X) and it didn't do HD. Now I know the HDMI out works, does it do HD??

Given the new data plan, wouldn't slingbox takes up a lot of bandwidth? I have the 3GB now, but with sling, that might be blown easily.

I'm loving samurai 2 and angry birds Rio. I never use to play games before besides angry birds but tablet makes games more fun

Angry birds Rio is great

- Weather Bug
- Quickoffice HD

Where can I find A.B. Rio? I can't seem to find it in the market.

It will only do HD if your Slingbox is and HD Slingbox.

My favorite apps
Not all of these are 3.0 only of course...
- Amazon Appstore (they give a free app EVERY DAY)
- Angry Birds (I got all 3)
- Fruit Ninja THD
- CamScanner (make documents with the camera)
- CNN
- App Hunter (finds apps on sale)
- Mini Squadron (although it's easier to play on a phone)
- Electrum Drum Machine
I noticed everyone uses Weatherbug for their weather app. I kinda like Accuweather, it used to be buggy and crash but now it works great. Is there any particular reason why everyone likes Weatherbug over Accuweather? Perhaps I should see for myself.

Any recommendations for MS Office compatible apps?
Quickoffice Pro seem about as good as it gets on my EVO...

I'd switch to FPSE. There are not going to be any more updates for PSX4Droid. The devloper went back to develop for the iDevice since the Market banned his account.
Additionally, you'll find the compatibility to be MUCH better on FPSE.

I haven't had problems running psx4droid 3.0.0.6. Been playing ffix, silent hill, ace combat 3 and resident evil 1-2 (haven't tested 3) but really all in all its better than fpse, imho. Much smoother seems to utilize more of our phones.

Does anyone but me not mind the lack of streaming videos?

Ok, this is not an iPad vs Xoom debate but...I have in my possession an iPad 2 and a Xoom (perks of my work). I've had the ipad for about 2 weeks and the Xoom for only 2 days so I want to try to be fair but...
I think to myself, let's see how streaming video works on xoom compared to ipad. on ipad:
Netflix app - works great - Xoom - no such app
Hbogo on iPad works great - Xoom - no such app
Vudu on ipad works great - Xoom - no such app
Hulu Plus on ipad works - Xoom - what's hulu?
Just some other things I noticed -
looked for Wall Street Journal app which is great on iPad, but no such app
DirecTV app for iPad has some extra features than the Xoom app
Bank of AMerica App for ipad is nice but no such app for Xoom
Now I know, to each his own and purchase based on your needs but come on! Only thing iPad doesn't seem to do as well to me is flash of course.
Am I missing something?
I am a droid lover, Droid Original then Droid 2, then Droid Incredible etc. all rooted but a bit dissappointed in the feature list for Xoom. Am I alone?

Those of us that have rooted and flashed custom roms like Tiamat l.l have perfect ability to access hbogo, hulu, just about anything via the browser. I use Dolphin HD and the Tiamat rom lets the browser function as a desktop rather than mobile device. And yes, flash is great.
Bottom line...I'm not missing anything and I've got flash.

Hmmm, so, you can do HBOGO and hulu because you are rooted and can load another browser that is capable of running those apps? In other words, it's not the ROM that allows this but the rooted device allowing a different browser that HBOGO works on?
thanks for your reply
Your point is well taken. But the same list should include all of the sites you CAN stream from due to flash. I believe Netlfix and Hulu are both Silverlight based.
I stream from Amazon all of the time.

>Does anyone but me not mind the lack of streaming videos?
+1. Don't have a TV.
Its the same browser (or you can use a different one), its just changing your user agent report to desktop, not android. Hulu is flash, and you can modify flash to also report desktop, not android, and that enables streams. HBO is probably similar. And Netflix will come, as it has a tegra and Netflix/nvidia have said tegras have features for Netflix. Also, you can get play on, which streams from every source under the moon for a few bucks a month extra. And it plays nice with honeycomb.

Sorry for being so touchy...maybe I misunderstood your comment.
Re-reading the thread, it came to me that people are really having two very different experiences with the Xoom. There's plain vanilla out of the box, which is nice but lacks some functionality, and the experience of those that have unlocked, rooted and customized their Xoom. The point I was trying to make is that if you're willing to be hands-on, you can have just about all the functions you are looking for.

Now that we have 2.2, what are some killer apps I need?

I mean solely for Android 2.2+. I've already gotten Netflix, Crackle (sadly, doesn't work, the sound goes really, really slow) and a few games I got off of Amazon's deal of the day that were 2.2+ only. There's obviously Flash 10.3, too. The other one I got (which I've been trying to get ahold of since I got my phone) is Kongregate Arcade.
Anything you guys know of that's a really good Android 2.2+ app that I'm missing?
If you put up the money get voodoo control plus and get voodoo sound v10... it makes this phone sound awesome via headphones xP

I'm actually working on trying to get the i9000 front facing camera mod to work on our Continuum. I need an i400 I can tear apart and do some fitment testing. I've seen some photos of the i9000 camera and the i500 (Fascinate) camera which I think is the same as the Continuum camera. It might work with a little trimming here and there. Ill post back once I have some results.
This is gonna sound pretty silly but the new Captain America game requires 2.2. I'm not much of a gamer but I actually bought it for $1 in the market and it installed then after the ~150mb download it gave me the error message on my stock Continuum. Took my son to the movie and we loved it, was looking forward to letting him play the game(which was well reviewed). Bah.
So happy to see this 2.2 update stuff. I'm going to have to do my homework now and make a visit to the darkside. I love this phone, will be more than happy to de-bing and de-bloat it!
Speaking of games: Plants vs Zombies and Peggle on the Amazon App store.
Was lucky enough to catch them free, but could not get them to run on Eclair.
+1 for netflix and google-music.
Being able install google search has been very nice as well.
So the Flash works well with this release?
Yes. I just spent the weekend streaming a UFC event on it :3
