Alot of games are not working. The resolution is all jacked up.
+1, I approve this thread. Let's hear some more apps that do/don't work.
Only thing that hasnt worked for me is USA Today.
Some look ridiculous in 10" of glory, but they do work...lol
Had some force closes with Dolphin HD but overall it works. Also had some force closes with pandora but again it works. Can't find Tango in the market either and since apparently only people with a Xoom can video chat on gtalk, I have nobody that I can actually video chat with yet until Skype comes out lol.
sling player works, but it is super slow and the resolution is not that great. i will try over wifi in a little while, but i think it needs to be updated by sling for 3.0.
my dinc in the same spot is great with sling running.

That's all I've installed so far. I noticed that on the Android Market (which immediately updated as soon as I opened it) has a section devoted to Tablet Apps. Kinda sad to see there aren't very many yet, but I'm sure that will change soon.
nba league pass and game time works
Zenonia works, and actually scales very well in my opinion.

And I wish I could find google body.
I'm having a problem now with the market. Everything downloads but then it doesn't install successfully. I restarted my xoom but still no go.

Are you trying to use your work's exchange server? If so, on my Nexus One I have to conform to the administrator's security requirements to sync to the server. Basically, it means I have to use a PIN lock screen.

It's probably some setting you're not considering that needs to be changed on the Xoom. With this being the first Honeycomb device, who knows what's different. I would ask your Exchange server administrator what security settings they require.
Can you attach a wiimote via bluetooth for nes games and such?
Anyone able to update dungeon defenders or are we suppose to pay for it now ... even though it came with the device

I just did using wii controller IME from the market. Takes a little playing with the settings in nesoid but it runs great and really fills the screen well.
Thanks for letting me know, I think that's the best way to entice mid 20's to early 30 year old people. "Look, I know your iSomething is awesome, but I just downloaded two apps and I'm playing nes and snes games with a wiimote, fo free."
Touchdown
Touchdown for Exchange, the new tablet version, is an incredibly awesome exchange mail solution. Works as well as desktop outlook, with mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes all available in a great windowed format.
spare parts is working, it allows unoptimize apps to run full screen on the xoom/galaxy tab.
* 1. Download “Spare Parts” application from Android Market and install it. If you visit us from the Galaxy Tab, follow this link : Spare Parts
* 2. Launch “Spare Parts” and scroll down to “Compability Mode”. Un-tick the box and tick it back.
* 3. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 4. Launch “Spare Parts” again, scroll down to “Compatibility Mode” and un-tick the box.
* 5. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 6. Congratulations. Your apps are displayed in full screen!

One thing I missed when I had the Apple iPad was Zinio App. I had a few nice magazine subscriptions on there, such as PC Mag, Cars & Driver, etc....
Thanks to people over @ XDA, they were able to port an Android app version..
FYI

You need to install all 3 APK.
Installed all three. Just force closes for me.
Which one of the 3 did you launch? All you need to launch is Reader Hub. Works for me. I am reading my magazine on it as I am typing this.
Works for me. Now I just need some magazines
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Thanks for the tip - just installed the 3 apks and works fine for me!
Was able to log in to my Zinio account and access my library. Looks really great on the Xoom, better than on my iPad, I think.
So what's the deal, why won't Zinio just release this into the market already??

From what I gathered, they are working on Android App at the moment. There is a link on their site to notify you once it is release
droid x force close
Installed all 3 apks On my droid x but zinio wont work it only force closes (android version 2.2.1 not rooted) any advise?
I used the files from my old Streak 7 to install Zinio on my new A500. It is two files, they may need to be in /system/app & will of course need the permissions set to 644.

Zinio Settings Provider
Occasionally it spouts off about some error, but it works 100%.
I'm sure there'll be a ton of this type of thread, but I glanced around and didn't see anything recent. Here's what I've found that I really like for Tablet use:
Productivity type apps:
QuickPic - it's really a phone photo viewer but it gives a lot better quality pictures than the built-in app.
CNBC Real Time- wow, this is what a tablet app should be! If you trade stocks or watch financial markets, this is a killer app!
USA Today for Tablet - another excellent tablet news app
Tablet Keyboard - $.99 but if you need arrow keys or want a split-screen keyboard for thumb use, it's great. Missing features like auto-cap or auto-complete, so be aware. I use this primarily with ConnectBot for controlling servers because of the arrow keys.
Thinking Space - works rather well as a mindmapping app
AndChat - IRC client. Works well despite being a phone app
Calibre Library - full disclosure: I wrote this. Optimized for Honeycomb, connect to your Calibre desktop app wirelessly, and if you're a real geek even over the Internet if you know how to set up your desktop app right.
ConnectBot - again a phone app, but works well on the tablet.
Other
Asteroid Belt Live Wallpaper - just cool
Games
Gun Bros - Plays well on the tablet.
Dungeon Defenders: FW Deluxe - Designed for Tegra 2
I also tried the CNN tablet app, but it constantly crashes and won't play the videos even though it's designed for Honeycomb.
Thanks for the list, theres some gems in there. CNN app works great on my Iconia btw, havent seen a crash and video is perfect.

FlexT9 keyboard. It's what ShapeWriter morphed into after they got acquired. Tap, swipe, talk, or draw. Totally kicks ass, and is optimized for the tablet.

I still can't get video, it always tells me video is not available offline, despite the fact my wiress is connected and it just downloaded the list of videos...
Let's see.. Those that have CNN working with videos, are you rooted or not? For me when I had my Xoom, it didnt work either (rooted), If not, i have no idea what the deal is.
CNN app works fine for me and I'm not rooted.
any suggestions for office documetns apps? trying quick office. Any other suggestions?
As stated my CNN app doesn't work - and yes I'm rooted. I usually run "Airplane" mode with wifi enabled (that whole try to stop sucking battery for 3G that I don't have tip,) but I also tried disabling airplane with wifi enabled to no avail.
I did replace my wpa_supplicant file to enable ad-hoc networks.

Might try to download the latest version... the release notes state:
NOTE: "Offline" message that some users are getting while viewing stories is resolved in this build. Thanks for your patience!
As far as file commanders go, I prefer Ghost Commander, its a lot like the Norton Commander of old, two columns.
watch espn
Watch espn is a great tablet app to watch espn as long as you have a certain cable provider watched baseball last night over 4g tether
I'm using Touchdown for Tablets for my work email and calendar, works great, looks great, actually lets me synch my notes and tasks in addition to emails, contacts & appointments.
Love the Kindle app
I haven't used any of the other office apps yet so I can't speak for how they work on Honeycomb

Nope - mine already has that version. Right now, clicking any story that has a video just makes the screen flicker a brief moment and go back to the list of stories. I'll stick with USA Today I guess.
Tried replacing the wpa supplicant file with the original, and it still pulls the offline error. I am rooted and honestly could not give a crap about this app. Just Saying.
Uninstall and disable adblocker reinstall reboot a voila it works. Adblocker is the problem hence the problems exists with rooted users. Again I dont give a crap about this app but hope it helps those who do.
For the last few months I've Ben unable to update/install Facebook on a500. App does not show in marketplace app, does show on web android market but shows as not compatible with Acer. I've got factory install (of honeycomb) and received latest updates---though I had the problem prior to 3.1. Note I already have older version of Facebook when I was able to install (when I first got a500...just after release). I'm not interested in rooting if possible and believe issue must be related to configs on marketplace in my profile?
I'm sure the issue isn't very widespread or else this forum would filled with posts...anythoughts?
you are correct that it is currently not compatible. That is why on your Acer there is a Facebook link. It has nothing to do with your user settings on the marketplace. What you can do is look up on xda or on Google for the facwbook apk.

Download Friend Me from the market, it's the next best thing to an actual app from Facebook.
As far as Netflix, the only way right now is to root, download the app from the forum, download a patch and it'll work. Only downside is it causes problems with the camcorder function.
Maybe this can lead you in the right direction:

The Netflix fix does not cause me video can issues.
Don't know about net flix but i use the same black transparent Facebook app that I use on my mosaic powered captivate with no problems
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I use the dolphine browser HD for fb. Use a gesture for quick access. Set it to use https instead of http. Netflix won't work unless u root it. Look around for rooting options and apk for Netflix.
the Facebook link Acer provides sucks. I can't use it myself. Dolphine has webzine feature but if u like regular full fb, dolphin in desktop mode is perfect.

HBO is available for ICS, just not ICS tablets.
I am assuming this workaround works on all ICS tablets
Install the apk from here
When it installs and you launch it you will get an error "it is not supported on this device".
You can access it one of 2 ways.
1)Press the home button (NOT EXITING IT) open a different app. Hit the multitask button, from here you can swipe to close it or just jump back into HBO GO.
2)Open the HBO app, get the error. Press the multitask button. Go to any other app. While in another app, multitask back to the HBO app. Wait a few seconds and error should clear.
Once you see the error go away a login box come up. While the ui is not optimized for tablets, the videos still play.
If you have logged in before the error will still come up. You will have to do this work around everytime you launch the app. However you won't have to login again.
NOTE: MAX GO works with the same work around as the HBO app.
Thanks
Worked for me on my a501 same process
Thanks for the link, hopefully it will work on mine.
Works for me as well.
Worked for me on my a500 rooted!!!
Worked for me too, stock ICS with root...
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Can't get it to work on my a500 running flexstriker rf1-v3 and 0.03.14 ics boot loader???
Thanks starkiller for putting this on the A500 Forum. Works perfectly on my A500 running Icylicious Rom.
Thanks this works for my a500
Can someone with a MAX GO acct check if the MAX GO app works on our tablets running ICS? I won't be getting it until the end of the week or next week but just wanna check it out.
Not working for me

@starkiller86..... I responded previously about your HBO fix stating that it was working well, still is
Now more than happy to say just installed your MAX GO fix and it also works flawlessly..... videos stream perfectly, congratulations and many thanks

HBO Go, Finally.
HBO Go is available on play Store for the Iconia A500. Just watched an episode of Band of Brothers.
I am getting a purchase error from the Store. Will try the files tonight to see if I can see if they work. I am running Flex-Relixx and IC Loader.
Bill...
The play store offers HBO GO already for out tabs running 4.0. No need to use the one on here. However MAX GO is still not available feel free to get that one if you need it.
