[Q] A few questions

I have a few questions about the honey comb.
Does it have swype?
How many applications are ready to be used on it?
Also about xoom..
Can we connect an external keyboard to it with bluetooth or usb port?
How is the overall experience?
Can it replace a laptop?
Thanks~

1. Not yet
2. Less than 50 I would guess optimized for Honeycomb. It just released a week ago so we will see many more at time goes on. Many of the existing phone apps work.
3. Yes. Motorola sells a BT one for Xoom. Check their accessories page.
4. I love it and can't keep it out of my hands.
5. Depends on what you plan to do with it. The browsing and email experience are fantastic.

Is it easy to type on it? like written chat on for instance gtalk?
so a lot of the phone apps r working on honeycomb?
Idk why I had heard otherwise!

I have another question. Does the tablet android have multi-tasking?
For instance, can you video chat and minimize it browse facebook alongside?
This is not possible on android phones and is important in my decision of getting xoom.
Response will be appreciated~!
Thank you

Please watch one video on honeycomb or read one review...it will give a lot more answers and it will be a lot quicker than asking really easy to lookup questions over and over.

jeee.... ur soooo helpful.. thanks a loooootttt buddy
btw why do we have forums for everything again?
so we help each other out?
ohh no we aren't sarcastic to people in the real world.. we need virtual reality for that too

I don't know about you, but when I hear about a product my first thought is not to rush to a forum to have people tell me about it.
I don't have any issue helping anyone out, but you need to do a tiny amount of work yourself before deciding to post three posts full if questions...it's just a couretsy to others.

if u didnt have a problem u cud have taken a minute to answer the questions instead of writing BS*!
And I wanted to know from a user..who is actually experiencing xoom hands on.
And please stop writing on my thread now!
PeAcE!

While I agree the OP should read a review or two, I think he would have walked away with basically the same questions. I haven't read a review that talked about Swype or specific number of applications. Besides, he wants "real world" reviews not some engadget or phonearena crap (nothing against the websites as I read them everyday, but their reviews are a waste of time, esp the XXX vs YYY ones, but that's a whole other thread).
@OP
1. The Xoom can not currently use Swype, but you can get SlideIt. I use it, it's not as good as Swype, but will last me until Swype releases a version for the Xoom.
2. There are not that many apps for it. Keith is correct (<50). Most phone apps do work though.
3. Moto sells a bluetooth keyboard, but you bring up a good point, I dont know if a USB one would work with a converter. Maybe I'll have to give it a try.
4. I love the overall experience. Yes, it's a little glitchy and there aren't many apps, but it does everything I want it to and then some.
5. I agree with Keith here as well...it depends. However, I will say that I attended a board meeting last night for my building. I am secretary and usually take notes with my netbook. I did last night with my Xoom and it was great. I also have a "real" laptop, and I don't think it would ever replace that, but I think it could replace my netbook.
My $.02, go to costco and buy it. It's definitely worth trying out for 90 days.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! You have been a great help..
And I did go through some reviews and videos on youtube beforehand for honeycomb, some for xoom and g slate.
Just one last question that I think you didn't see, was about the video chatting and multi-tasking?

You can use Google talk to video chat. Multi tasking is easy as hell, the 3rd button in the system tray is the last 5 running task

While video chatting can I use facebook or google books?
I know on my phone(froyo) the video call completely goes on hold and I can't even hear or send voice through that connection, what happens on honeycomb?

Thank you so much!

confirmed. you can switch apps while using video chat. I didn't specifically open facebook, but i did use CNN, market and the browser. it does, however, turn off your camera, so it's no longer a video chat (the other party sees a black screen). you can continue to talk. when you come back to the chat, it does automatically turn your camera back on.
hope this helps!

Yes it does. Thank you so much. I highly appreciate it.

Update 3/15 Skype Keeps Backing Out On Video Call Support For Android.

Skype is long overdue for Android. There was supposed to be support on the Xoom tablet, but reports show yesterday that they withdrawed their business/services for the tablet and future laptop/devices .Its word going around that now they will continue to work on a better agreement to bring video chat to the platform. I looked online and alot of Androidians (lol) arent too happy with this. Everyone is wondering was there a Apple pay-off and what is taking so long. Will Skype video chat/3g calls every come to us?

Don't know why Google didn't write their own freaking application for it. I video call through gmail on my laptop fine, seems like the logical step to integrate their phones and tablets into that.
Seriously if Google isn't going to step up and write some BASIC polished apps for their own platform rather than having devices being released half-baked, apple is going to continue to dominate the tablet market.

Unless things like this change, I won't be using the Android platform in the future. One of my top priorities/needs is great app support. If you don't have that, all this new hardware is useless IMO.

It's not just Android, if you check the last update for the Linux client, don't be surprised how long ago that was (January 20, 2010; 13 months ago from Wikipedia).
I've already completely lost faith in Skype, I don't trust them anymore.

ehm??? no 3G calling?
what have i been doing the last few day's?
you can call with 3G.wel atleast i can.

Using skype over 3g service and video calls. And no you haven't been doing it

I don't think that Skype has any intention of releasing a free Android app. They seem to only be interested in installing video-enabled Skype on devices sold by manufacturers/carriers that will pay them directly. e.g. Verizon or Nokia.
Of course, the strange part of all this is that Skype w/video is available for iPhone 4.
Oh well, if Google releases video chat before skype does, then my skype account, along with the rest of my family's, will be gone.

Sorry if this is a noob question but is it possible to extract the apk of Skype from a Verizon phone and install it on others?

i have been questioning this as well. why it didnt happen yet.
unless :
- there is no phone that is out right now and has skype video call in it
OR
- even if they managed to do so, it wont connect to skype network so it was useless " something to do with skype knowing your phone before it connect to the server, and if the phone is not registered in their database, it wont connect.

There's always Fring;
http://www.fring.com/android/
That said, as a Skype subscription holder it'd be nice to have video supported.

Think about the legal ramifications. Google talk is praticially installed on every device and can't be uninstall. Remember way back when Netscape sued Microsoft for having monopolistic capatilism with having IE installled by default? Eventually they got told By the surpreme court that they have to allow more competitive practice with third party vendors. as far as I can see Google is allowing third party vendors to coexist with their own apps...and thank good. I lovvvve my choices. I'm sure we'll see a filtered down version of honeycomb to smartphone. I bet Google chat will even come as a newly downloadable app from the market with such features. Google certainly have their hands fill. I'm pretty sure they got their hands fill for coding for tablets and smartphones at the same time.
Btw I hate using Skype...why doesn't the app have a turn off button?

You can uninstall any app on the phone if your rooted. And there is a log off/turn off button in skype.

heh that means my theory is right. damn i am good

There is a Skype app. It does make (voice only) calls over 3G (and 4G if you believe all the marketing hype). I use it quite regularly to talk with my family back in the US.
As for Google taking forever to put out all these apps, you have to understand that they are subject to the same dev process all other app developers are. They have to wait until the SDK is available. Yeah, they may get it a bit sooner than other devs, but I'd say only a week at most before. It doesn't benefit them to hold out just to get their stuff (apps) out first. And it takes time to produce [email protected]$$ apps. If you dev outside of an existing engine, even longer.
I praise Google for what they've done so far and I look forward to their contributions.

It is most unfortunate - but I'm betting someone will come out with a "compatible" app in due time, if Skype doesn't wake up.
Alternately, I'd take an official Google Talk video chat solution.

I have found that ooVoo works really well.

Hopefully Skype will do something with Qik to get around their exclusivity with Verizon.
Or even better, Google get off their asses and start using the video call framework that's been in the API since at least 2.1. They bought Gizmo5, who was doing SIP video calling using h.264 on my Nokia n810 back in '07. It was essentially what Apple's FaceTime is now.

I've been using Yahoo Messagings video chat because my wife doesn't have a smart phone that does video, so being able to connect with a computeri s a must for me, but the video is sideways. Does OOVOO not have this problem?

ooVoo is the best around. It has a small footprint, displays correctly and works (when it does) flawlessly.
My only problem with it is it's inconsistency making calls. Sometimes it will show the user online; sometimes it won't.

Not surprising to me really. While I like a lot of things about Google their 'statup' operation strategy with lots of independently operating teams leads to this.
I say the same thing all the time with official Google apps for Android. Where's my official Google Analytics/AdWords/Docs/Talk app? I know all of these can be addressed in various ways by 3rd party apps or tertiary functionality in other apps. But I'd like to see some official Google apps for some as their official apps usually tend to be good quality.

More than likely video chat on google will be release at Honeycomb and hopefully with some devs help we'll have it for our froyo devices.

i've tried a few and like Tango the most. it's just the easiest to use and most streamlined and just works.

+1 Tango! Simple to use, and it streams extremely well on either 3G or 4G (best). I've use Yahoo, Qik, etc. and found those apps can be quirky and probably worked best on Wifi.

My problem with ooVoo was a perpetual attempt to sync, draining my battery. Their support said they'll be removing that from the next release but until then it's staying off my device.

+1, same here, drains battery fast.

I've had that same issue with Oovoo, it's literally killed my battery extremely fast to reach and sync with nothing. But other than that it's the only logical choice for Video chatting until Skype and Verizon stop screwing everyone over with Exclusiveness.

[Q] Skype Video Call

So..
Skype got updated and video call is now supported on some handsets (Desire S, Xperia, Nexus etc)
Nice new interface also..
Anyway some devs can get video working on our tablets ???

Tango works perfectly and its free, you can download it at Market.
Cheers!

meh on Tango. Installed the Thunderbolt version of Skype on my HTC Sensation and video worked fine. I wonder if it would work on the Iconia

Yep, screw tango, skype is allover the world, works on my epic with video but not on iconia (no video).

Does this mean Skype video will most likely never work for the Iconia a500?
I'm really going to be disappointed if this is the case... been waiting for video support for a while now.
I, like other, have tried the new skype 2.0.0.47 'hack' by theos0o (v5 i believe) but surely, skype crashes with the 'enable video' checked in the advanced menu.
Anyone?
I have been considering other video app options, only most of my friends and family are skype users... also I have been using skype for many years now, so it sucks their rotten suppprt for us android users...

I really hate that we have to jump through hoops to have video chat on an Iconia. You see, it's really a selling point to have a front facing camera on a tablet. Automatically you would assume that since it has a front facing camera, it would have some video chat suite included..

It does, and it's included. It's called Google Talk, or on our tablets simply labeled "Talk". You can video chat with anyone on another tablet, pc, or even a mac.

Everybody i know uses skype. Do we expect them all to change just so I can use the iconia for vid conferencing?

Tango doesn't work that well... Personally I tested it and it has a lot of audio problems. Anyway that's not the majoir problem with it. Tango is not a pc platform. I want be able to talk to anybody not just to the ones having a smartphone or a tablet. That's why Skype is superior, cause it works on every platform, and that's why it would be great having video support. It's all theoretical of course, cause, due to the fact our a500 mic is the worst mic ever built, to talk to somebody is impossible for the ones not living in the middle of a desert... To use voice I have to yell so loud that I could wake up ppl living 2 miles from my house.

Well, actually, yes. Skype is not very well supported on most mobile devices, as it is more of a PC app.
In my opinion, the best multi-platform thing going is Google Talk. It works on all of my current devices -- phone, tablet, desktop and notebook PCs. Anyone that I know who won't switch to Google Talk will only get to talk with me when I'm in front of my PC, and since I got the A500, the time spent in front of my PC is lessening every day.
If Skype doesn't quickly start improving support for mobile devices, it's only a matter of time before it starts quickly losing popularity.

I too wish Skype would just add video chat capabilities for all devices. It can't be THAT hard. I've got plenty of friends who use Skype, but I have absolutely NONE that use Google Talk and again, none of my friends' friends use it either so it wouldn't be possible to start converting them to Google Talk.
The simple fact is that Skype is way, WAY more popular than Google Talk.

When I got my tablet, no one used Google talk for VC, but all I had to do was ask, n it was easy cuz if you have a gmail account, which almost everyone does, either by choice or by Droid, you can chat. You don't need another account, another program, anything! And for the (very!) Few I come across that 1) want to VC with me, 2) have a Skype, 3) don't have a Droid, and 4) somehow missed the gmail revolution, I convert them. They get to talk to me, AND get better email. Win-win. N seriously, how often do you come across someone that fullfills all of those criteria? Cuz if they are missing any of those 4, you're set

what is the BEST video chat app?

I know they're a lot of people wondering like myself.. What do you guys think is the best video chat app currently out that works best for our phones... I use to love Tango but it stopped working for me and my Wife's Epic.. of course its been a few months since I used it.. But which do you think is the best? I figured I would ask before throwing another 10 apps on my phone for testing. Also what roms are you running with it?
Thanks

Let me break it down:
Here is a list of the video call apps that I know to be available. If i'm missing one, let me know. I'd love to try it out:
Tango (Android/iPoop) - I'm going to assume this is the most popular. Video quality seems to be pretty good. I do have some occasional feedback issues with audio, but that comes and goes. The latest version of Tango FC'd everytime I opened it, but luckily for me, I had the version right before the update backed up, so I'm still in business.
Fring (Android/iPoop) - This was the first app I used for video calls. It did the job. I haven't used it in a while, and I know they've improved on it. I switched to Tango because everyone I knew was using it.
Qik (Android/iPoop) - I've never used Qik. At first it didn't support iPoop, and that was the only people I had to talk to via video call. Friends i've spoken with that use it don't seem to prefer it over any of the other solutions, so I haven't really had the urge to try it myself.
Yahoo Messenger (Android/iPoop/PC) - I've had mixed results with Yahoo. It seems to work pretty well for the most part, and is useful when chatting phone to PC as it's simple and alot of people already have a yahoo ID. The only issue I had with it was the video was always tilted sideways no matter which way I held my phone...
Google Talk (Android/PC) - I went down this road when I tried the leaked Gingerbread ROM. I had high hopes, but this was pretty much unuseable for me. I was able to connect, but video was too choppy at best. I'm positive this will improve in the future, but as of today, I don't recommend it.
ooVoo (Android/iPoop/PC) - This is an interesting app. It allows conference calling, so you can actually carry on video calls simultaneously with more than one user. I used this shortly and tested it for a phone to PC call and it seemed to be pretty decent. I'd have to give it a little more time and testing, but my first impression was that it did the job pretty well.
Skype (Android/iPoop/PC) - I know this one is new. I think there's a thread if you want to try to get this to work on your phone. Haven't tried it... can't really speak on it. I would check out the thread if you're interested. I'm sure there's feedback there.
As with everything on this community, YMMV. And keep in mind, all of my opinions are based on using the app with a wi-fi connection, so if you're going with 3g or 4g, you'll just have to test what's out there and see what gives you the best quality call. I hope this helps at least a little bit.
If nothing else, it'll at least give you some options to try.

I just used a modded skype for froyo over 4g and it worked beautifully except for the fact that I was sideways on my friends comp.
It was mad clear! He also said I was laggy a bit but I blame that on the 4g. I haven't tried wifi.
You can try it. When you go to the thread about skype 2.0 in the themes and app section, click the link that talks about the sgs2 or w/e and then there will be another link where the author says "TRY THIS ONE FOR FROYO"
That's the one ^_^

Well, Skype owns QIK so hopefully there will be some crossover pretty soon. Trouble is, even if it's the best program in the world it doesn't matter if your friends aren't using it. Skype is the one everyone else in the PC world seems to use, so now that it'll work on android, that's the one for me.

That was my exact outlook and why I went with skype lol
Before that I used tango which was excellent...but not everyone knew of it...but it was always fun to see the random people in my contact list who had it lol

I've been using Skype and even 3G, which all I have, was way better than QIK, Tango, or anything else that I have tried
