Is there a way to review market apps from the A500 version of the marketplace? Version shows as 1.0.17 but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do it.
Anyone managed it and i'm just being an idiot or is it not possible in this version?

I'm not sure if I understand you, but if you want to check your app versions you can download aTrackdog from the market, or from your browser, go to https://market.android.com/. Hopefully this helps...
Afterthought: do you mean give a star rating and review?
Yeah I mean star rating and review the apps that I have tried. It seems like there's no option for it in the marketplace using honeycomb.

I read somewhere that it's not possible yet. I could be wrong! But the reason I even mention it is I remember it being a solid source (like a Google employee or something).
Will look it up and update here.
Thanks for the replies guys i'm glad its not just me missing something obvious.

I just read an official answer from Google to this the other day but can't seem to find the link again.
It basically said that it's not possible in Honeycomb right now, but they tell you to go to the marketplace webpage and you can do it there.
I remember upon reading that, thinking, "Really? How big is Google and they can't just get this simple thing out beforehand?"

The beta is out but I cant seem to find it on the market with the vibrant. According to appaware, people with other phones (droid x, nexus one, even the hero, etc) have been finding and downloading it fine. Anybody have an idea on what's going on?

Are you opening the specific forum from your favorites?
I noticed on mine, when I added a forum to my favorites, opened the forum from there....and tried to open a thread...FC.
But, if I open it from the root of the forums....without using favorites...it works.

force close on me too. anytime i try to read a thread
works fine for me reading threads as long as im not logged in.
same happens on mine wichever way I access the postings, wonder if it'll be fixed and when...
Same here. I can access everything fine until I login. Then every thread I open produces a force close.
does this work properly for anyone on an a500? who are able to view threads as a guest and whilst logged on, and reply and comment threads without a FC?
I can't view threads even if I'm logged in or not!

Mine works as long as I don't try to run a search. Search = Force close
The premium Ver doesn't fc even when logged in, I think the non premium one is not compatble with honeycomb, and its large display.

Yeah well it's not fully compatible with Froyo either. Unfortunately the XDA app is a piece of crap and nobody seems inclined to fix it. You'll find copies of this thread in practically every tablet device forum on these boards. I had the same experience with my Viewsonic GTab running Froyo. These XDA crashes go back at least as far as last October.
Some people say if you buy the full app that it doesn't crash, but why would I spend money to buy something on faith when their "trial" app is crap?

So, if you want a specific forum app, go buy Tapatalk and forget about it.

Look at the first replay here!
Not available in 3.0.1 so far on all tablets.
It's very irritating, as it stops me leaving reviews (I would like to review many apps, but I won't go to the effort of finding them on the browser).
Guess I'll have to keep my comments to myself until the feature is added, but frankly, I can't believe it wasn't added in the first place.
I don't think it's in 3.1 either, actually.

Same Issue in 3.1 ...
Many apps don't scale the text right and those tiny lists would surely get app ratings down which would be unfair to the devs.

Well not really; if their app doesn't run well on Honeycomb, I think it's fair for Honeycomb users to give it an honest rating. Emphasis on honest, of course... no flippin' "one-star until feature X/ until Y fixed"...
Unless I've misunderstood what you were saying!
Having said that though, if an app doesn't run well in Honeycomb for me, I much prefer to contact the dev directly (at least that feature exists in Honeycomb's market) and get an answer as to what's up. The devs are only too happy to answer questions, usually, and you can get feedback to them directly, giving them a chance to work on it without just leaving a review.
Agreed. I'd very much like to rate the good apps that are well designed for tablets as well...
Thank you all for your help.

Just noticed,
The new updated Facebook app (V 1.6) is no longer compatible with the Xoom. I.e. if you don't have FB or if you've uninstallrd it, ouch!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I think they are trying to push tablets back to the unified touch website interface. The only thing that sucks with that is you can 'send to facebook' and sync contacts.
Know of any other apps that handle just that?
Friend me is a great tablet optimized facebook client. But it is still in the earlier stages of development.

Rumor has it that Facebook will release an app for tablets.
again?
they broke FB for tablets before- you'd think they'd learned not to break stuff now...
Friendme is far superior
Friend me has no functional use without ability to go to each friends stuff or find things the way you do on the web. It needs way more work.

Install it on any other device then move it via astro backup or something. I did that and it works fine.
I use Friendcaster... not the tab optimized version though because it lacks a lot of functionality. Does look pretty however.
I just installed the 1.6 update on the Xoom and it force closes when you try to search. It's defiantly not made for the Xoom. Here is the APK if anybody wants to try it.

I suspect this has to do with the fact that good Android devs are hard to find; good Android devs with Honeycomb experience are nearly impossible to find.
Would anyone mind posting the last facebook version that "works"?

The Facebook app for the XOOM has always been crap. When Google+ goes live, I am deleting my Facebook account even if it sucks. I'm tired of it.

Eh... I have it on my phone too but am perfectly fine with the market on the Xoom. Its geared towards tablets, thats fine by me.
The Honeycomb market app kinda feels like unfinished business tho. I wonder why after all these months we still can't rate or comment to apps. For tablet-only apps it means feedback ends up limited to people installig through web-based push-to-device, or taking the time to log back through a web browser to comment and rate.
Some people did manually install that new market app on their tablet, but the UI is clearly not optimized for it.
