Opened up the Readers Hub today, just to check if it was working yet, and was welcomed by two little green 'install' buttons on both the magazines and newspapers option. These buttons open up a Samsung modified app installer, and now...it's all working.
This is in Switzerland, running an unbranded unlocked 16GB SGT on Swisscom Liberty Grande contract.
EDIT: Ok, my excitement is growing less by the minute. While it works nicely, it seems there's no free content, neither in Newspapers nor in Zinio. Even the free papers that you can pick up at every bus stop around here (20Minuten) want to charge you. Not interested in paying for news when I can just use the the browser to read the online version for free.
EDIT 2: Right, it seems when you go through the Zinio website there's an option to search for free issues, and there's quite a few good ones there. No such option on PressDisplay however.
hm, still waitin...buy the way tnx for report
Just checked mine here in the UK and was greeted with the install buttons
Thanks for the heads up.

Just showed up for me today in Australia too.
Installed and bought a few issues through Zinio already.
Running well so far except for one of my subscriptions having problems downloading.
Got to laugh, daily star which costs around 35 pence or maybe less for a hard copy is costing 99 pence per issue. Not tempted to go digital at that price, just going to do the usual and fire up the car on a morning and buy it

Zinio is great value, as a UK magazine reader being able to subscribe to US versions of magazines for around $10 for a years subscription is superb value to me! (They look great on my iPad, hoping they look just as good on my RoadWarrior SGT!)
With PressReader, if you have an online subscription to The Times (about £9 a month) you can download the Daily and Sunday editions (+All the extra magazines), perfect for my commute!
The readers hub was a huge deciding factor for me in buying a SGT, Im looking forward to trying it out once I get home today!
i have the tmobile tab and i don't even see the readers hub app. How can I get it?
too bad zinio is mostly usless for non-english ppl. I don't get why we get kobo and zinio but no media hub in europe.

Also in the UK. Works fine
PS: free samples can be added to your Zinio account via the web interface. Then use the app to read the content.
Note: By the way, my Galaxy Tab is flashed with the latest P1000XWJK1 firmware (November 2010). I don't think this would make a difference, as the Samsung App Market functions normally (I see 2 apps in there).
WTH? So I just lost access to my FHM subscription on the galaxy tab. Even the issue that I had downloaded earlier today had magically vanished.
Can't even see similar magazines through the tab any more.
I hope this is isn't some kind of iPad compatibility issue... What with it being two competing devices with different philosophical views on censorship.
can someone post the zinio apk. in my hub, i installed the kobo one
Here in Finland in Tab there is Readers hub with PressDisplay, Kobo and Zinio.
PressDisplay gave some freebies.
In Kobo there is about 200 free books to choose.
Zinio, no freebies.
About PressDisplay; the biggest newspaper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat is missing, only 11 smaller ones available. And yes, those free trainstation-takeaway-b****-publications cost also 0,99€ -no thanks.
First I was exited, but not any more. Newsroom is still my killer app.
Greediness kills a lot good ideas.
PressDisplay and Zinio now online in the Philippines. Finally!!!!

You will need the .apk files for those programs.
If the generous international users can dump their .apk files for us Americans, it would be greatly appreaciated. Sharing is caring.

Does one exist?
I'm spoiled by all the choices for my old Palm TX and just can't stand the constant manual scrolling while exercising on the treadmill.
The main features I'm looking for in a reader are the ability to set a background color (grey, in particular) and autoscroll.
Also, has anyone here used ISilo on their NC?
I'm currently trying the dual boot Phiremod/HC and am loving it, but now the search for apps starts...
I dont know if this is the best place to ask because everybody here is using the color for anything BUT ereading ii presume
i read with Moon+ reader which support autoscroll and you can adjust the speed by using thevolume buttons which is kinda cool. It also supports custom theme's and fonts! Go check it out on the market. No other software on android i found that supports autoscroll....

OMG! Yes! Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for!
I don't know why it didn't come up in any of the google searches for an android reader with autoscroll.
Sorry for the excitement, but while I use the nook for all sorts of things, reading was the one part I wasn't happy with, and this reader is just about perfect!
Now I can read and exercise again!
And if you could point me to a better place to discuss reading related Nook things, I'd gladly go there.
Hello guys.
Wich would you consider to be the best office document editing app (especially for excell files) out there on the market, regardless of price?
Best MS compatibility for ME!!
QuickOffice HD- best compatibility I've found - about £9 in the market.
Only downside is that the app only accesses the internal memory (SDCard) not any external memory.
Hope someone can show me how soon.....
I use docs to go.there are several none out there that is great at everything
Another options get a Hotmail account. Windows live.they have a cloud service you store documents with them and can edit and create Ms documents but it requires data services
I found Polaris Office to be the best. You can even have it using all your favorite fonts if you put them in system/fonts.
Quickoffice HD is second best since it does miss proper size/alignments in ppt.
The rest can't even get page margins right, no use wasting your time for now.
I am currently on my quest to fin the perfect office app as well. I mainly bought my Iconia for college so I need an app to be able to write papers with. I bought QuickOffice HD and yeah you can change the font, align text and font size, but you can't really do much else. You can't resize margins, can't edit or insert headers, can't even I out bullets! All of these crucial features for writting your MLA paper. I even tried importing a document that already had a header in it and you can see the header but you can't edit it.
I gave DocsToGo a shot and it seemed more featured packed with the paragraph edit and bullet input options, but I didn't go too far I depth with it since it was only the trial.

I'll have to give this one a try will report back!
polaris office is the very best IMO
You guys can apply for the beta for softmaker. I won't give more details, it's nothing to be curious about unless you really want to help. It is laggy and unusable on tablets and the UI is not yet optimized, but it can display the page perfectly, paragraphs columns, everything and won't break the compatibility with MSoffice.
Polaris!
I have Polaris office but since I upgraded to android 3.1 I keep getting force close issues.

If you're rooted you can get USB Mount All, which can mount your external_sd under the internal one so any other app can access it. Works for me on QuickOffice HD and Docs to Go.

Ive been using Google docs without problems... works great on the phone and on the computer using LibreOffice. Can't stand MSOffice and the ribbonface.
Are they the one who broke up from open office after oracle bought it?

Yes, that's libre office. But Oracle has now donated OpenOffice back to the open source world (APACHE) and IBM has donated millions of lines of code to OpenOffice from its Symphony product, so I think this'll breathe new life into OpenOffice now. See

Does this require root? Can someone post some screenshots? I am at work and won't have the tablet for a couple hours.
This new Market version looks exactly like the phone version.
Why have they changed the interface.
The previous one looked great.
Previous version - 1.0.27
this looks just like the new market on the android phones. i dont really like how it looks..... i wish there was a way to hide the movies/books from the market because i doubt i will ever buy/rent a book or a movie from the app store. i noticed no difference in performance. im sticking with the old market for now, but thanks for the download

Precisely the reason I renamed marketupdater on my phone, and will probably be doing it on my tab too.

I tried out the new Market app but had to remove it. It caused Earth and Legend to crash on load and I read a report that it causes Dungeon Defenders to crash too. I'm guessing these apps may have some type of protection that calls the Market app?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I'm now running this new market on my a500. I must say that the old market feels cumbersome and clumsy.this is way more suited to hc and is feels streamlined...
I love it on my DInc2 it took a while to get used to but I can't stand the old market anymore.
I haven't run into any problems with crashing apps. Earth runs fine. I'm using honeyvillain's rom.
Does this improve any problems with the Honeycomb Market, like reviewing apps direct from the tablet?

Portrait mode is sweet although the market is really crying out for a customized view, wierdly though the old market is still available alongside the new market on my tab 10.1(overcome rom). Accessing app details is not very intuitive, clicking the icon for the selected app shows details but there is no visual prompt to suggest this(could be a BOB issue). No issues launching any apps so far.
What's the best way to install this? I would think to remove Vending.apk from system/apps, rename this file to vending.apk and put it into the apps folder...is that right?
Update: Nope, don't need to do all that. Just download and install
Update: I LIKE! Portrait mode, FINALLY able to click a screen shot for a larger image, everything flows very well, seems like this market version is even better suited for a tablet than a phone. Thumbs up!
Thanks for the download MJ-12!
3.1.6 is over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284647
Do you need to have the 3.2 OTA to make the new market work? Because I have 3.1 still and it does not work on my Iconia

Definitely a better market than what was built in. It is a lot faster than the old one, which is especially impressive considering the very limited internet I have access to right now.
Havn't ran in to any problems with it so far.
Downloaded this And I still have old market and new market. 2 different icons.

Sooo, Saturday is going to be the day!
I'm going to pick up my HTC HD2. The reason why I'm going for a HD2 instead of a Desire HD or similar is because it's just waaaay cheaper. I had a LG KS20 with custom roms before I broke it D), so WinMO isn't new to me at all. But I guess I'll be going to Android almost directly. I may be going to check out the AWESOME Fallout 3 theme for WinMo, I just fell in love with it .
Why? Because all the cool apps are there! Whatsapp, Wordfeud, etc.
I've read ALOT about all there is to read here. Every noob guide etc.
I still have 2 small questions:
What is the maximum MicroSD card size?
Because I only a couple of old posts that date back from 2010...And back then there wasn't a whole lot known about it.
Are there any navigation apps that DON'T use internet to get maps? That have the maps on the MicroSD card?
Hello and welcome sir. I remember reading literature about the HD2 being able to read no larger than 32gb.
As for navi apps, I believe CoPilot has offline maps stored on your sdcard.
I think most Android or even most mobile phones support SD cards of capacity up to 32GB.
About the offline navigation. There are plenty of such apps; iGo (my favourite), Sygic Mobile Maps, CoPilot, Navigon, Sygic Aura (IIRC).
And congrats on getting an HD2, I got mine 5 days ago, so I know how You feel.
Thanks guys, you still don't let me down after a 2 years absence
Also,
What is in your opinion the best ROM? Yes, it can differ from person to person, but what do YOU think is the best? CM7?
How long can you go without charging?
Any must-have apps?
When I flash it, is it already rooted? I would like to install a adblocker for those pesky in-app adds.
Thanks!
