Have you seen the BS Fart App? http://www.bsfartapp.com
It supports farting on demand, on time delay and using Text Messages or the web browser. ...Apparently it has it's own HTTP Web Server so you can just WiFi over to it and fart away.
The app also lets you do one other thing via Text Message, you can have the phone with BS Fart App installed on it call some other phone. ...This allows you to eavesdrop on your mark, so you can wait for the perfect moment before making the phone fart.
Oh yeah, and it has an iPhone like kinetic list interface. But it also works fine on none touch devices.
I'm unemployed, so please pay the reasonable $1.99 I'm asking for it. I wrote the app entirely in C#, so it requires the 3.5 framework.
Does this work properly on QVGA devices running WM6.1 or 6.5?
omg this is completely senseless..
but good fun in it's very own way somehow.
Great start, now, replace the Farting with something useful and you have a great app!
wow what a waist of a great app this could be a great app menu system,gps location ,all for farts
you application is more complicated than most applications. too bad its still just a fart application
The application really looks like some serious software. I think you should use this software as a base and create something more useful
Oh, and you might consider fart by twitter, a social web feature for your fart app (e.g. send farts to facebook) etc. ;-)
brien
love the fart machine app you made. best 2 dollars i ever spent.
i have right now only one issue....it is when i look at the webserver ip address all i get is 2 numbers.
see pic for example i posted below for my error i have.
i am running an at&t fuze aka touch pro device which is a vga display.
it also doesnt place nicely when i open in landscape mode either.
like i said before great app so far.

Dude, how did you manage to NOT LAUGH during that 9 minutes 34 presentation ?
Wont it try to send the file trough sms? Will it find its way to sweden?
Purchased Friday and still have not recieved the app file. What gives?
Feels pretty cheap... joke any one?
Outstanding.
Yours is the only (out of hundreds of) software plugged on my site for which there is no free or shareware version. That speaks for itself in terms of how impressive your work is and how awesomely talented you are.
As with Chainfire, I imagine and hope your efforts result in at least some modest prosperity and of course in your case satisfaction from all the laughs and awkward moments you're creating around the world, two bucks at a time.
One demographic you'll touch, of which I'll belong once I whip out the debit card, is those who have no intention of using your program for its intended purposes but just want to witness firsthand the complexity, sophistication and finesse of your work rather than just watching the video.

Yep, I've been emailing them for support... they responded to the first email, last week, and nothing else since, despite repeated attempts to contact them. I'm wondering if something happened to the dude.
Folks, either something has happened to this guy, or we've been had. After a couple replies from him when I first started trying to use the app a few weeks ago, he has not responded to any of my emails in the last two weeks.
Has anyone had any success at all getting this app to start on a Touch HD? It will not start on mine. And I already paid for it. I know 2 bucks is minimal, but that's hardly the point. A couple weeks ok, Brien (the developer) promised to send me a debug version of the app so we could diagnose why it doesn't work on my phone. I've heard nothing since, despite four emails practically begging him for a reply. The last one I sent is basically just asking him if he's even alive.
I have gotten nothing from him. Purchased last week, sent emails, nothing.
Does anyone know about how long shipping is and is there anything cool i can do to it once i get it or any good apps to download? Thanks
Did you try reading ANY of the numerous threads on this forum that discuss everything you've asked?
hey c'mon, the dude is excited! this isn't an 'iphone' forum, no need to bash him!
i find it fun to 'race' the iphoners in my office with a simple 'google' search...
someone calls out a 'thing' to look up...while they are typing away, you use voice search and BAM, you smoke em.
i know, childish, however, so much fun to stick it to iphoners.
Shipping is 1-2 days and apps are easy to find once you have the phone..
As the previous poster mentioned, I would place my bet for Wednesday.
As for apps.
You can google for some decent lists. 101android ro something.(just google best android apps)
Stuff i will personally recommend.
1) Get Google voice set-up for voicemail. Extremely cool. Text transcriptions definitely give you the jist(but certainly miss some words).
2)Dolphin Browser - Multi touch web browser.
3)TaskKiller - I like the widget for killing apps I want to full close.
4) Ebuddy/Meebo for an instant messenger.
5) Live Scores for sports scores. Only one that seems to be updated quickly.(maybe 30 seconds behind sportsline.com or so)
6)BetterCut - I paid for this(2.99???). It lets you adjust your homescreen short cuts. Download icon packs and use new icons/different words etc.. Makes for cleaner home screens. Free version is Anycut.
7) AContacts - Shows your call log with exact timing. Something i prefer to normal one.
8)Beamreader - PDF viewer.
9)Gdocs - Google docs viewer basically. Useful to view MS office stuff.
10) Ring toggle - very simple ringtone/vibrate toggle thing. I like it.
11) Agend Widget - Best widget to show calendar on home screen
12) Istockmanager - If you use TD Ameritrade this program is amazing. Level 2, trading etc, all real time, charts, the works
13)Tune Wiki - A tad better then installed music player
I spent more time then i expected on this post! Anyways, you can work at setting up your calendar/gdocs/even contacts to some degree all ready through google if you want. They all sync anyways. There are a ton more awesome programs, but those are the ones I have used over the last year or 2 on android(and redownloaded for nexus one)
Congratz, your going to enjoy it! Check out the threads here for the good scoop!

Oh man I'm so pumped too. I ordered mine on Saturday, and spent all day thinking it wouldn't be shipped out today because of the holiday, then got an email at 11:20pm EST saying it has been shipped and will be delivered by 3pm tomorrow (Tuesday). YES!
So yeah, you will probably get it Wednesday.

I confirm that it works.
Mediahub blows. I tried it once and bought a Tosh.O episode and midway through the encoding on the video was jacked up. Picture went unviewable and the player stopped. I was forced to hunt and peck on the timeline to resume after the botched section of the video.
Never touched it again after that. Besides, content is overpriced.

This simply confirms my theory that you can give every body gold bars and some people will still complain that they didn't get silver or platinum.
I have my code and it's a nice way to get folks to try out the features. Perfect for a plane ride, or better yet, a delay.
Thank you OP. I was a little pissed that I couldn't get my $50 when I heard about this promotion. I don't care if the content is crappy, it should pass by slow nights on IT call.
Good luck with mediahub, folks.
With bittorrent, any price above $0 for broadcast entertainment is overpriced, to me. I get all -- 100% -- of my TV via bittorrent downloads, and virtually always available before anything shows on commercial pay-for-media methods.
Now, with bittorrent clients available for android itself, you can eliminate the step of having to first download to your PC, then transfer to your phone. Just as convenient as MediaHub.
In fact, even more so. Set up an RSS feed from EZTV, PBay, or other torrent aggregators, and you're phone will grab your favorite show as soon as the torrent is available -- again, usually within a few hours of airing.
Finally, with tasker you can set things up to only download when there is a wifi connection, saving you from on-air data charges.
That's how I've got all this set up -- I see no reason to use MediaHub at all.

I'll pay for media, though I am not against downloading somethings. But non the less cheap bastards DO ruin industries. "Oh its just me and my $10 bucks, they won't miss it" Eventually with enough people it adds up and they will miss it. Not to mention I personally know people who have had homes raided by FBI over stuff like that.

Ill have you know sir, that downloading TV shows online, through whatever medium, is not considered illegal filesharing. A judge ruled that sharing TV shows over the internet is the same as giving someone a VHS tape back in the day. It is not illegal and can be distributed anyway the people who record it please. Be it hard mediums or digital. Now, if one were to say download a DVD copy, THAT would be copyright infringement, but we are talking about downloading 0 day shows from EZTV - which is perfectly well within your right to do.

Can you provide us with the source for the ruling? I have followed this issue for a long time but never heard of such ruling.
How about uploading TV shows, which is what torrent does? Isn't it illegal to upload files, if you don't have copyrights?

Yeah, I've been banging on that discussion all day.
^ I can see that.
Time will tell of course, but there's speculation here in the UK, that the carriers will begin to offer the iPad subsidized with a contract, and that by Xmas you'll be able to pick up an iPad for £200.
IMHO, I doubt that this will actually increase iPad sales much. The best selling iPads are the WiFi only models because it's simply too large to carry about for most users. The same is not true of the Tab.
I don't believe that the Tab will get anywhere close to the iPad total sales, due to the power of the Apple brand, but with products like the Advent Vega and Toshiba Folio, I think that Android tablets will do very well indeed, with the Tab occupying the "premium" space.
Regards,
Dave
Honestly, everyone looks with interest at my tab, then say, it cant be better than the iPad though surely.
I give them a 2 minute demo. No one has come back to me saying the iPad is better after my demo.
Only reason people would say the iPad is better, is because of the power of marketing (or if they really did require 10")
I don't know why we should waste time with Engadget readers (no offense ) Let them enjoy what they think/have. It's so obvious that Engadget is Steve's bud. How on earth a N8 12MP camera is not any better than the iP camera is beyond me.
I wonder how many people are going to be returning their tab after using it for a week and going, hmmm, this can't replace my phone, it surely can't replace my lt... why am I carrying this thing around again? - Ohh, that's right! Angry Birds!
Returning mine to T-Mobile this week.

I don't understand why anyone ever thought this was going to replace their phone......does the argument that a netbook will replace your phone make any more sense? No.....
Personally I never looked at the tablet market as something that would replace any other device I have. Tablets, for me at least, are a WANT item and not a NEED item like my work laptop or my phone. I purchased the Tab for those times I'm on the go and want entertainment and games on something with a screen that's bigger than 4 inches (phone)
Now....Can the tab do almost everything my phone can do? Yes.....Are some tasks easier on the tab than on the phone? Yes.....But vice versa my phone can do some things MUCH better than my tab and for that reason it will never fully replace my phone...
I guess I'm just not buying anyone's "I bought it to replace so and so" argument.....no one out there is buying an ipad to replace an iphone or an ipod touch or a mac computer. They're simply adding to their arsenal of electronics which I'm all for
I do replace my N97 w the tab. There is a thing called bluetooth u know

I travel a fair amount, so this thing is ideal for those countless hours in airports, hotel restaurants, cabs, etc. Sure, it does everything my Galaxy S phone can, but it does it better, and it does it longer, while still being portable.
I also use the HELL out of it around the house. I'm no longer chained to my PC or laptop, I can and do use it comfortably all over the place. Reading, surfing, music, movies, and yes, even a little Angry Birds. Beats the hell out of a laptop on the loo, I might add.
I've even gotten good use out of it at work, and that doesn't count emails.
Long story short, this doesn't really replace anything, but it fills some rather large gaps quite nicely. Some you don't even realize exist.
The tab almost completely replaced my phone.
I use it 90% of my time (with a BT headset). The only time I take my phone instead of the tab is when I go out at night.
It also replaced my laptop almost completely .
I hardly touch the thing anymore.
The only time I touched my laptop last week was when I had to draft a long email. Other than that the tab does everything I need and does it well.

I couldn't agree with this more - my Tab follows me everywhere around the house, and is now my primary source of internet and multimedia when I'm not otherwise sat at my desk in front of a PC for work.
And yes, it makes web browsing whilst sitting on the throne far more comfortable!

Yea that'll work unless it was made by Facebook..
They want their hands in everything you own..
I remember after I got rid of my original account I was playing a game on Android and I'd progressed wow far, so I wanted to save me progress, but the game only allowed FB syncing.
So against my better judgement I created a new account.
Fake name was simply called "Gamehead dlads"
Then verified with a fake DOB, fake email, fake everything.
There was nothing at all in any of the details I provided, I did not allow access to my contact list or phone, or location, I did not talk to anyone, didn't give it anything.
Within 1 day, I was being shown people I know from all over Britain, my family, my wife, mother, friends from school, ex GF's, everybody.
How? I'd be extremely careful not to link any information, the email was fake, name was fake, all permissions denied, it kept asking but I always said no.
If I've denied the app absolutely everything? How did it do that if it wasn't being deceitful? Supposedly that's Impossible if our permissions are to be believed,
Facebook isn't an app that plays ball, it's an app which is paid for handsomely and the price you pay is your identity.
I'll never get FB again, it's just wrong.

Yep, you're absolutely right and that's why I'm going to delete it very soon. They know everything about us, Facebook even knows what you talk, if you talk about something near the phone, there's a big chance that you see advertisements on Facebook related to the subject you talked about.

Lol it's funny you should say that.
I was playing a game (silly one where you upgrade this over time, no idea why I was)
Anyway, the game shows progression faster if you watch an ad so I did, anyway one day I was on the couch after work watching a movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, extremely distinct music, anyway after a while the adverts I was watching quickly began to only show the pirates of the Caribbean game.
I put that instance down to coincidence but this has happened several times..
I've written to Google but obviously they aren't going to respond, why would they? The best answer for them is no answer at all.
Meanwhile we remain the product.

I put that instance down to coincidence but this has happened several times with products appearing on my Google feed.

Strangely enough I've been getting wake locks from Google play services, just working on fixing them now.

Indeed, that's what exactly happens all the time.
The problem is that I rely on Facebook sometimes, I think I'll try to keep WhatsApp only haha

I use Twitter although it's just for when something is going on or I want to moan at a company for something.
One nice account one bad.
