Ok. So the media hub is out. Looks like you can rent and/or own movies depending on title. The renting is 2.99. I've found own for 9.99 and 12.99. I'm a little worried about paying DVD prices (or somewhat less for some titles) and not getting the DVD, or getting the ability to transfer to another viewing device, ie. dvd, computer. Anyone know what the lowdown is on transfers, etc? I know I've had a hard time trying to find a movie that I can actually put on this phone via dvd ripping from my own dvd library (if that's even legal) or for download from any legal source online. At least the media hub has that going for it.
Anyone know if there are other avenues to actually use the awesome power of this device to watch movies in my palm? Is Media Hub better than?
Ps. I think it is funny that Forrest Gump is listed as comedy. Nice job classifying that one guys.
it still says coming soon for me :/
*edit* oh nevermind i see, its a system update to get it. XD

Nope, just Vibrant as far as I can tell.
Does it bill to your Sprint bill or is there separate payment information?
probably have to stop by the store so they can take a melon baller to your seat cushion.
I'm not really sure how the payment works. I exchanged my phone today due to the back button issue. Now I haven't received the new update yet.
Media hub payments
Ok. So I broke down and bought the latest star trek. Basically, you enter your credit card information into Media Hub the app stores it there (actually, I think it stores it on Samsung's server). I don't think there are any alternatives. Now, based on the current download rate and percentage, I should be able to watch it sometime next week.

3G? 4G? Wifi? On 4G, the previews always played for me instantly. Even the 2 and a half minute trailers.
I watched a few previews over 4g. I have to admit the video quality was excellent and playback smooth. This might be good for an occasional rental, but once netflix comes out for Android they can kiss this goodbye.

download speed and AllShare
Well it looks like there is no AllShare support. Can't push this thing to my TV (actually PS3) for viewing. The movie doesn't show up in the AllShare list. I'm not surprised I guess, just disappointed. My guess is that the movie is not being stored in any meaningful format so AllShare couldn't read it if it wanted to. Of course, there could be a way around or some setting I'm missing. I don't think it's a setting at this point though. Media Hub has no settings anywhere that I can find.
The video quality is pretty awesome, no skips, studders, sloops, woops, or whillips. The sounds wasn't *bad*. It's a decent movie viewing experience - even for a big screen action blockbuster. Would be awesome during a long flight, or similar, without having to drag along extra electronics.
However, combined with there currently being no mini-usb to hdmi cable means no support to watch Media Hub movies on a bigger screen. Looks like I'm back to looking for another solution to watching movies on my phone. 12 bucks isn't really a good investment vs. the actual DVD/Blueray (3 dollars more on Amazon). If I was wealthier, maybe. I think this means I won't be using Media Hub, except for the one movie I already paid for.
About the download speed:
I didn't bother trying to watch it before the download was finished so I don't know if that is possible. I think it was a 1-2 hour download but I didn't keep track, maybe I could have started it sooner. Not to bad I guess (over wifi). I couldn't imagine doing this over 3g...definitely an overnight thing.

I had some free songs on mine although when I clicked on them to play the song it kept saying unable to stream selected media... I just deleted them as it was some classical song and 4 artists I'd never heard of and unlikely to ever play anyway... Not missing much imo
My N10 came with Ice Age. I got it from the UK Play store.

Likewise, my UK-bought Google Play nexus 10 came with Ice Age in the Play Movies program "my movies" section.
It's not pre-loaded on the device, it's linked to the Play Store
I can't tell you how many times I have thought to myself "I wish I had thought/heard of that!" when hearing what someone has conspired to make their smart device do. For example the guy who discovered you could use a PS3 controller, or the fact that Splashtop even existed in the first place. Or THIS GUY. Post the awesome things you have figured out how to do with this or any other Nexus! It can be simply through Apps you have found, or all out customized craziness! I'll start, though it's hardly amazing, I installed Splashtop on my mums PC, I have saved SO MANY TRIPS to her house this way. She is one of those who calls at midnight to say that while she was using Internet Explorer she discovered that her PC is infested with a virus and needs to be repaired, and asks if should she click the box that tells her so?

I bought it for the idea of showing off, editing my pictures from my camera, I could see them, but I can't view them and zoom in out. The only thing that could be done is import them. I have it connected with a regular use cable from my camera to the usb dongle to nexus.

Retro console emulation on the go...
Flash-o-aholic treatment device.
Need to leave my phone alone as a daily driver, but I plan to experiment with this device like no other.
So far? Watching low quality streaming video. Really loving that 1200p screen. /s
Also its great for textbooks. 2 full pages in landscape mode and it still looks great.
I bought the 2012 N7 when it was released and used it probably 3 times. One day it died and I couldn't turn it back on so I threw it in my night stand and forgot about it for over 9 months. When this new one was announced I told myself I would get it and force myself to utilize it for reading books and tech blogs on the train to/from work. I also started traveling more for work so I imagine it will come in handy on the plane as apposed to staring at the small N4 screen or dealing with my laptop.
Last week I pulled the old one out of the night stand, ADB'd it back to life with stock 4.3 and sold it for $130 on craigslist. Then I ordered the new one and since receiving it I've stuck to my plan and now use it to read books and tech blogs every morning on the way into work and every evening on the way home.
When the Chromecast arrives I'll use the tablet to stream netflix and other stuff as well.
Kind of ordered by most used.

I guess I'll answer this question truthfully: my nexus 7 replaces my phone & laptop when I'm at home. I use it for browsing online, email, texting, music, video, etc.
my 16GB n10 that i recently got only came with magazines and a few novels/books. i thought the n10 came with some other stuff, like the ice age 1 movie, and some 'example' videos to show off the display. mine has none of that?
or does google change these as the months go by?
edit: would the ice age 1 movie need to be streamed from play movies app? cus when i went to 'personal videos', there was nothing there, just empty.
i live in canada. my n10 was shipped from the US
I don't believe there's any video, mine was bought on Amazon and had 0 things loaded, did you get any magazine or nook before? Also to showoff your screen use this video:
