silverlight is a microsoft product, if microsoft doesnt choose to make a version for android then you are out of luck. what i would suggest is to vnc into a desktop and then watch the jerky unwatchable video through that =)
Funny, I'm still waiting for silverlight with full drm support for linux. Android was based off of linux. So all I can tell you is keep waiting for microsoft to port it over. BTW, no dev I know is going to touch a microsoft branded software.

Search on the market, there are lots of client + an official one from the VNC team. You install a server on your computer, configure the connection, and that s ok.
Really easy !

yeah signed up for the beta long ago when they showed this at CES and from what i've gathered here in the main android forum, no one new has gotten into the beta at all.
sucks just need ot release the thing or invite more ppl in the beta, or least give an update. you delay too long and you will be forever playing catchup to the newer OS's
So far I love my new Tab 10.1 but I am unable to sync my pics and videos.
I did download the latest Samsung Kies software for Mac but when I sync my photos they look like there over exposed and all washed out and videos just lock up the tab. I loved when I had my 7" tab and when you pluged the usb in it would mount the devise and I would just drag and drop my files. Anyways please any advise on getting my media on my Mac besides Samsung Kies ?
Thanks...
Although a bit of a hassle, but this will definitely work
http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/transferring-files-and-android-device
The hassle is patented by Apple, so don't expect innovations here
i had the same problem, i'm on mac leopoard and exactly the same washed out photo's when trying to sync with Kies. I gave up and just bought the USB adaptor and i transfer files quickly that way via USB. I seem to give out the same advice time and time again but trying to sync like you would with an ipad/iphone just won't work.
Also, I paid for dice player to play movies/music video's etc as I found the stock player had synching audio/visual issues. Now I don't have to convert anythign to play on the tab, i just transfer via USB adaptor and it's on the tab ready to play.
Latter tonight ill look up Doubletwist when i get home and see if that will work?
I would like to know this also take it kies has a version now for Mac lion

Check out the Q&A subforum. Someone answered a equivalent question there. The proposed solution looks interesting.
Last word I had from Samsung is they are working on a update for Lion.

He's not addressing you. Just some Apple bashing. Lol. And he's right. Worse company ever. Just bought a iMac for a gazillion bucks. Did some research. Thought it was a great companion for my PC because the iMac also had a target display function so I could use the 27" screen also for my PC. Guess what, without any further notice they don't support PCs anymore in their 2011 models. Man o man. I feel like a Apple idiot...
Okay, off topic. Sorry.
I got my photos sync but still can't get movies on latest kies for lion but that prob cause there torrents maybe is there a fix for this u have to install a older version of kies on the Mac then open kies then update via kies to get it running on lion guys so far works

Oh well you're an exception then?
If you have Verizon's LTE tab, the latest OTA update includes Mac support. (It came out last weekend.)
Once updated, download "android file transfer". I don't have enough posts to provide link, but google it and it will be the first link.
Download cyber duck for your Mac and install file explorer for your tab. Perfect wireless syncing.

Good thing is,Windows 8 will be open-source, and rumor of the mill on G4 is that the Xbox 720 will be on Windows 9 and will be 'connected' with its desktop, and phone counterparts. My speculation is that while Windows Phone may be closed source for now, that's soon going to change.

He knows its an android forum. That's why he asked us WHY DO WE PREFER ANDROID OVER WINDOWS.
If you're gonna try to make a fool of someone, cover your bases first.
On-topic, I actually prefer windows mobile to android. Windows Mobile was so customizable and had a lot of options at your fingertips. I was TORN upgrading from my bbcurve cuz I couldn't decide if I wanted the TP2 or the Hero but I settled for the hero because of the camera.
Now its no contest. Windows Phone 7 is so ****ing stupid and limited compared to windows mobile.
Android is the only thing close to the functionality of windows mobile but its still not quite there yet

Good one. After my treo pro I was done with any windows phone. One more thing I realized being on xda and other forum that people have a need to troll. I'm also a member of the gamefaqs forum where trolling is not tolerated at all you troll on there you may as well delete your account because they will do it for you. That's why I don't bother feeding trolls unless they are looking to personally disrespect me. Android rules

WP7 might be good for people who doesn't want to deal with troubleshooting their phone, i.e. non-tech savvy people. It actually has nice UI and I heard it gives refreshing experience to people who are exhausted with iOS and/or android. I like its zune style music app. I am actually frustrate with Android music player. Default one looks soooo outdated. I want something real nice like iOS's coverflow or WP7's zune for android out of the box. Don't want to pay extra money buying music apps. Also there are no good music apps that work flawlessly with the lock screen.
Again, WP7 has less apps and porting is slower. I think it doesn't have Skype yet but will have Tango soon. Also it doesn't have free tethering. All the good things about android such as rooting, installing unique apps like call recorder, roam control, PRL flashing, free GPS navigation, decluttering unnecessary carrier apps, etc. are not possible.
Personally, I would like to try Lumia 800 if I wasn't in contract with Sprint.
I went with Android mainly because it is not Windows, and I hate Windows.
I've been working with Windows for almost 20 years(wow, feeling old) and its just one thing after another when it comes to bugs.
I would have went with an IPhone if it had a slide-out keyboard. Android was the only alternative in my books, since Palm blew chunks with the Pre. I had a 755P Palm OS phone forever, before trying the Pre and then going to the Moment.
Hey everyone,
I currently own a Nokia Lumia 900 and I must say the biggest letdown is with the Facebook app. Here is my list of annoyances:
1. Cannot search for new people to add
2. Pictures sometimes refuse to load or load blurry
3. How slow it is to open and then you have to wait again for the feeds to load. These need to be optimized.
So what I am hoping for is an updated version for WP8 which will be the app on par with the other platforms (iOS, Android).
Anyone else agree or like to add anything?
A lot of things need to change for windows phone to be better and the fb app is definitely one of them. Let's hope they get it right this time at Redmond.

The thing is that they do not develop the app themselves. It's a third party that does it and they've been doing an atrocious job that's for sure.

I agree and it's a shame as fb and Microsoft have a very close business relationship. They need to do better to compete with android and ios.

I use the Facebook app plenty of times and not experienced the WP version. Hopefully they can update it to match the android/iOS version. Is the people app any good?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
It barely gets updated too. The other platforms receive updates on a weekly/bi-weekly basis while the WP version gets them quarterly or so!
Maybe this will change with WP8. We shall see in a few weeks.

There is nothing more annoying than when you tap on a picture that is posted on someone's wall to see it and it hangs loading and nothing shows up.
Then I pick up my android tablet and do the same and the picture loads instantly.
They REALLY dropped the ball with this app!!

The official facebook app is written by M$ and i agree it needs a dramatic update, that said i feel confident this will not be an issue in wp8 but then i have been wrong before.

I don't think a facebook app is really needed when you have the browser. IE is more than capable of running facebook quite nicely.
According to what one regularly reads the Facebook Apps seem to be pretty terrible on all platforms. This does not surprise me given that Facebook itself is pretty unstable most of the time (login issues, Chat issues, etc.).
Still there is room for improvement on the App side as well.

If you ignore Sally and her Farmer friends it's actually all good.
Google+ is to say the least something everyone found great in the first 5 minutes and then forgot about, Twitter is an entirely different medium all together and does not really qualify for a comparison.
but it is of course totally up to you what you use and how you use it

Google+ is rubbish!
If you don't want app updates on your Facebook wall you can just set the filter options. And if you have people on there you don't care for just dump them off. I used to have hundreds of people but I didn't care about what they where up to so I got rid im now down to about 30 people close family and real friends and that's it. This was I get to use it for what its made for and that is to socialize with my friends. Google is gash for that its just a place to share advertisements for Google.
