I'm actually pretty interested in both but will the one about integration with Xbox really happen since Microsoft has wp7 now?
Any news about any of these tweets is appreciated

Using Google News, search the term "Sprint".

It's an HTC Windows Phone 7. 99% likely it's the HTC Pro 7.

It's about them unveiling their new windows 7 phone htc 7pro aka "arrive"

Technically it's not true integration.
WP7 just lets you get gamer points on your phone with your XBLive gamer tag.
But yes, both these posts are referencing Windows Phone 7. Specifically the soon-to-be-released HTC Pro 7 for Sprint.
Which makes this thread off-topic.

Sounds like Microsoft's late-to-game rehashing of "cloud" this and that blah blah and xbox integration that nobody cares for.

Microsoft's cloud storage is not just for WP7 anyway...
25GB free cloud storage with Android App from Microsoft-

Aww so sad
I was thinking that my android phone could now be "integrated" with my Xbox
Btw I'm both a ps3 and a 360 person
Not that it matters at all
Another thing I think wp7 is going to be the next big thing
Because if I remember correctly apple came to Verizon first with the idea if the iPhone and Verizon refused and the iPhone was a huge success and Verizon also refused wp7 so maybe wp7 is going to be huge too.
Even if wp7 becomes "huge" I'm sticking with android unless Google abandons it

While I prefer ps3 over 360, I'm gonna have to disagree based on multiplayer. The 360 has a great social system. Once the ps3 gets on XBL level, there is definitely nothing holding them back. And hopefully a redesigned controller (not fully redesigned....just put some joysticks that atually have grip so that I can shoot as comfortably as 360!).
Multiplayer is more casual on 360, but that's because you have all these little kids not taking it srs.
Ps3 is more intimate online and its more hardcore because theaverage age is 12<, which is why I prefer it, but I can't enjoy it with my friends playing a different game than I

If we keep talking about ps3 and 360 this thread is gonna be closed.

Maybe if your intent is to use it as a linux box. However as a game system, they are close enough that you should pick based on which one has the exclusives you like. That and the online system I suppose. Cheap vs good.
Only fanboys think one console owns the other.

Amazon free app of the day list

Lets post all the free amazon apps of the day starting with back breaker football. Does anyone have the apk for this
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Amazon requires you have their market downloaded and running in the background for Amazon apps to work. We can't post the APKs, as they wont work.

Today's app is PicSay Pro. I have to say I've been very surprised by the quality apps Amazon has been giving away on app of the day. If the idea is to get users to look at their market every day, it's definitely working on me.

1. Since it's no longer free, it's now warez, and that's bad in XDA.
2. It's really a crappy game, you just run up the field and dodge increasing amounts of defenders to score touchdowns. While this seems fun, the controls are far from it. You steer your player like a car using the accelerometers, and not with a dpad. You run by rubbing up and down on a line on the side of the screen. Doing both of these at the same time _does not work_.
I grabbed it, tried it, and deleted it. If there was a way to gift games, I would give it to you.

yeah, AND you have to enable one click purchasing on Amazon too. it's a way for them to get accidental sales.

Not to bad
The free apps haven't been to bad so far that I've seen.
Starting with Angry Birds Rio.
I've gotten Fruit Ninja, Flight Control and Talking Tom, and as someone mentions today's Picsay Pro which is fun.

Airport mania was free Yesterday also, that was a good pickup. I agree, we can't post them that'd be out of line. But you have to pay attention from now on.

I for one like the 1 click purchasing. The last thing i want to do on my phone is go through a whole checkout process for a 99 cent app.
They do the same for Kindle books... this is nothing new.

I like the Amazon app store. I like to take advantage of the free apps that they have each day. anyone know how much longer that will go on?

I imagine that it will continue until it stops.
Sorry, I'm in a silly mood.

I have them all, including the free paid apps that weren't advertised.

I don't think they really care about the occasional accidental $0.99 sale. They're doing it to get you used to and comfortable with the idea of going to Amazon to get apps, and they want to make sure that if/when you do reach that point and start to actually buy apps from them, that it is trivially easy for you. You're more likely to do all the work of entering and setting everything up when you're getting something for free. If you had to set everything up and go through all the checkout nonsense for a single $0.99 app, you'd probably just say screw it and buy through the regular google android market.
I think it's a decent idea. They give away free music using the same theory, but I think the free apps they've been giving away are much, much better than the free songs you can get from them.

Amazon has a *really* good calendar app for free today. It's normally around $5. It's called "Business Calendar". Has a great widget as well.
Just thought I'd mention it.

+1. I just got this today and it really handles my calendars better than anything else I've tried.
And I have to admit that the Amazon appstore is really growing on me. If I have multiple devices, will they all have access to the apps I've gotten through the appstore?

Amazon wants this appstore to be like the kindle. they want this appstore on as many devices as possible. it would make much sense if your apps were tied to only device.

I think their app store is great. I didn't understand the peple that post in other thread they would not use the amazon app store because they didn't want to fragment the android app market? The way I look at they give me a free app and if I. Buy a paid app I buy it from them as thanks for for the free apps to support them. I just think that's fair.

Need apps..

Haven't had any good ones and it's a bit difficult to find any good ones for the Atrix. I am new to Android and just got the phone on Monday. I need some fun ones, and some good games too (perhaps cheap to free).

amazon app store... 1 free paid app everyday

Any console emulator will run well on the Atrix. Search and learn a bit about those and you can have endless fun. (Also look into using a WiiMote)

how is the speed on the arc launcher? i like that sense swipey feeling on the homescreens...

Looked for the n64 emulator couldn't find it.. And when I tried to download it on my atrix it just said it wasn't safe and wouldn't let me install it. What gives?

[download] the new market app

found this post on captivate general forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169233
you can download the new market app if your tab has not updated to the new version yet. make sure to click 'thanks' button for the original contributor.
this update def. makes tab looks more tab-like if you know what i mean. i have been browsing book catalog for awhile and found a handful of good books.
i'd say the merge of google books and video rental service def. makes tab a stand-alone device. with samsung allshare running, im really happy with what i have right now
P.S <<search patterns>> by peter morville is a good book i just found on the market
cheers

I don't like it, looks cluttered. If I was in the US I had to have it though because of the video rentals....

yep, for people like me in US, the rental feature really helps alot.
but i find the book session is the most attractive one for me
almost finished Dan Brown's book i bought in the market

See here for new market goodness.

Android Market is now Google Play Store

Couldn't find my android market... was freaking out and trying to fix permissions, do searches, install different ones manually, but they would always disappear after a reboot. Did some research and come to find out that google updated it automatically and changed the name to Play Store in the app drawer.
I'm running aokp milestone 4, not sure if it will upgrade to this on other devices but yeah, if you can't find your market search for play store.

haha, I would think everyone would have [previously] Market on their home screen.. maybe not though.
And yeah, I believe every Google Market app will [if they haven't already] auto-update. It updated on mine, THS ICS 6.5

I think the name Google Play is lame and the icon sucks too.. Sounds and looks like a media player..

best part is that they changed it all, so it's google play store instead of market, play music instead of music, play video instead of video, play books instead of books.

I know; took me a while to get used to but I guess i'm kinda getting familiar with staring at it all the time. What can i say? its growing on me.

Google renamed it to brand the app store across all there divisions
