What? Oh no, I wish Android would just stop trying to make their OS like Apple and Windows already with their launchers

Will this work on WM?
No, Mobile Firefox is a windows application that will run directly from a USB memory stick. The smart phone version of Firefox is known as "Fennec", but it is in alpha and currently only runs on Nokia tablets.

Can't wait! Soo tired of Opera Mobile!!
Very exciting, I watched the video and i have to say thank you (@ developers of firefox mobile). I too am so tired of opera. Cant wait to try a beta!!
still looking
I hear that a beta should be out very soon.
If you are tired of Opera, try NetFront! I use only this Briwser. After some customiations it is the perfect browsing experience! (this post has been typed in NetFront )

[REQ]Crayon Physics Deluxe

Hello.
I am wondering if anyone of you programmers could make the game Crayon Physics Deluxe usable on the Diamond.
Here's the link to their site: http://www.crayonphysics.com/
It would be awesome playing this in landscape mode on the diamond.
I hope you can at least try.
Thanks in forehand //Felix
This game does sound kind of interesting. A buddy of mine just played it and said it was pretty good. Id give it a shot on my ppc. After watching the video though, I am not sure that a ppc could handle the physics engine to run it. Maybe I am wrong, but it looks like it would take a decent processor/gpu tandem to run it.
This is kind o the same, check it out:

there's already an iphone version, iphysics. Hope there will be a WMobile version too !
There is an open source version called Numpty Phyics, originally created for the Nokia Internet Tablets (Maemo) but since then ported to a number of different OSes such as Windows. The source code is available as well if someone wants to take a stab at porting it over to WinMo.

Official Xbmc

Hi All
I just had to let you know about a app I tested few days back, it is not new but new to me
I have owned a Media Center for 4-5 years and ussually I have used Micro$oft Media Center. I finally tryed XBMC on the PC and that is one of the coolest app I have ever tryed on a PC...
After playing around for a bit I also found XBMC for Android in Market and that app is amazing as aftur setting it up I can browse my 7Tb collection on my Desire and Folio and then played every thing on the Media Center by selecting it on my Android device... prrr so cool and works really well with no delays.
Here is XBMC official on Market... market.android.com/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote
Here is a review and configuration.... androinica.com/2010/07/how-to-set-up-xbmc-android-remote
I am new here so I could not post "live" links.,... sorry

Anyone trying Windows 8?

Kind of off topic, but I'm just curious to know if anyone's tried out the Windows 8 developer preview. I'm trying it right now, and it's honestly not that bad. Some things still need work, but it's definitely something I could get use to.
I was curious about it too, got a link?
also can i dual boot it with win 7?

Yes, and if you really want to get a feel for it lifehacker has an article showing how to share files between the Windows 7 and 8 partitions.

I havn't tried it yet, trying to get it to work with vmware.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516
I thew it on my 4 year old cheap laptop and after figuring out how to navigate the start menu I really like how fast it is. Only problem is I can't seem to be able to install .net framework, hence phonemypc won't work (I wanted to test drive metro ui on my epic since its touchscreen optimized) I'm gonna keep it on my laptop until the beta expires but I'm sad to say that I want a windows 8 tablet waaaaay more than even an ice cream tablet.

Yeah I'm using it on a partition on my brand-new laptop. I really like it actually!
Metro UI is a bit to get used to, but I love using the touchpad multi-touch controls to navigate from panel-mode to the standard desktop, bootup is much faster, and I can share files fine between my regular Win7 partition and the Windows 8 partition.
@xopher.hunter, I had an issue with .NET 3.5, but it installed fine after a restart. YMMV...
I bought a Touchpad during the fire sale, and have yet to receive it from HP Small Business (have to wait for the last production run), but I wanna put Win8 on it when the ARM build gets out.
Im waiting for a windows 8 tablet to come out
I do NOT like the UI for desktops :/
WIndows 7 for my PC, windows 8 for tablet.
fk yeah.
Microsoft killed all of my interest in an android tablet when they revealed the metro ui windows 8. PERFECT TABLET OS (atleast based on what ive seen, it has all the right things.)
---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------
actually...i just remembered in a previous video they didnt have metro ui on and it looked like windows 7...so i might just give it a shot if i can take the skin off..
Also, what's phonemypc? Remote desktop thing for the epic im guessing?
Lol you mean android prpo lol you dont get win took the source code rewrote it pstent it and you would fund that lol

Its this 10 dollar app in the market, yes it is a remote desktop client but very well done and very simple to set up. Its a freaking life saver if you forget something on your computer.
I still haven't been able to install .net 3.5.1, I even dl'd the standalone but it still wanted to use microsoft update to install, and I rebooted it too. Oh well this is why I put this on my old ass laptop. Runs like a champ though only on 1.86ghz and 1.5gb of ram it seems ready for tablets alredy.

I personally am hating the metro ui...its to hard to navigate. It's too big of a step. To me, its clunky. People were afraid of vista because of the glossy difference from xp, this is like 100x worse.

I find it too bland. (still wonder if I can change the green background to another color...)
Idk, I agree it's too tablet-like, but I like how everything is together.
Definitely doesn't make sense for a computer though.
I feel like we're going backwards a bit since we're basing computer UI off of mobile UIs which are meant to be more compact.
Even in OS X Lion, they had the "Launchpad" feature where it looked exactly like you were on an iPad.
Why do companies think people like this?

Idk. Maybe because they think it looks better than just a plain list, but now they're more interested in eye candy than functionality. Why can't we have both.
On the other topic, I would like to try windows 8, but it's not really useful for me since I have a 1024x600 netbook, so Metro Apps don't work. I've tried the hack that makes resolution higher on Windows 7, but it looks horrible with that.
my question is the lifehacker site says you need to burn a dvd or use a thumbdrive, can I also use a SD card? (don't want to waste a DVD and have no RWs at the moment)
Also will doing this erase everything on Win 7? I dual booted Ubuntu once and it didn't but LifeHacker says something about formmating the drive

Will not erase everything as long as you boot to dvd or usb (I don't think SD cards are bootable). You don't need to format, you need to partition (which is like grouping your hard drive, with one group for windows 7 and one for windows 8)

But you never actually have to use Launchpad, and its quite nice to find an app quickly without spotlight.

WOW MICROSOFT WOW. so apparently the windows 8 on arm devices was largely overrated, ONLY METRO APPS WILL RUN ON ARM DEVICES.
guess im still waiting for an x86 tablet to get one

I dont think thats true. I dont think they can run Windows 7 apps, but I think they can run any app built for 8 or just windows for arm in general.

True, but I have my trackpad customized with a bunch of additional gestures, so if I just tap the top left corner of my trackpad, it shows spotlight.

Someone made dreamscene working on Windows 8

Is someone here made Dreamscene to work on Windows 8. Dreamscene hack for windows 7 works but in windows 8, it won't work. Any ideas?

BUMP! I'd really appreciate it if this would somehow work... :victory:
you would think windows would support live wallpapers natively by now, and just disable the feature on lower end computers like they did with aero glas and windows 7. would make allot of users happy
Here you go-- http://www.animated-wallpaper.com/Video-Wallpaper/
Only trial but when it asks you to buy it after trial it will say something like buy with trial play.
Trial play allows you to complete an offer which requires about $2 and then you get the software instead of paying $20 directly for the Video Wallpaper.
IT DOES WORK WITH WINDOWS 8!
Such a misleading title... I came here expecting a working method, but just found a question :/ Perhaps add a question tag or a question mark?

The very basic reason for this issue is the support for the flash as the version of dreamscene on windows 8 currently doesn't works on the binaries of the new flash player there are several tools available in the name of DREAMSCENE ENABLER to enable compatibility of the new flash
