Does it take advantage of the large 800x480 screen?
Thanks

The main reason I bought the Wing last year was so I could take advantage of MLB's Gameday Mobile deal and listen to baseball games at work. As far as I knew, all Windows Mobile phones had this capability. This year, however, it looks like they are doing a carrier-specific thing, with no decent phones on the list of supported devices. I am more than happy to ditch T-Mobile for another carrier if it means I can get the games, but I don't want to do it on a stinkin' RAZR or something else that doesn't do much else. Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem? I tried using Opera Mobile and hoping MLB would think I was a desktop PC trying to stream the games, but that didn't work. If anyone comes up with something, I would be eternally grateful.
I would guess that it's similar to the nfl network stuff for sprint.... although, you could always "stream" the games from your local radio station, if they allow it..

MLB is quite a bit more strict than NFL when it comes to streaming restrictions. I was able to stream football games through thestreamcenter.com but MLB enforces pretty thorough blackout restrictions so you can't capture a direct MMS stream or go through the Web site of the local station. They make you pay, which I did last year and am totally fine with doing, but not if it means giving up my beloved Wing for some crappy giveaway supported device on a supported carrier.
yeah, now that I think about it, I stream espn720 Los Angeles all the time, and they don't do Angel's games.
I just got a reply from MLB.com Mobile, saying that it will once again be available in time for the 2009 season. When it becomes available a link will appear on the mobile home page.
Huzzah!
Im looking at possibly getting an unlocked Atrix + the lapdock, but i have a few questions.
Does the Lapdock support video playback/netflix? How do games handle on it? What kind of limitations are there with it?
Ive looked around a bit and didnt find the exact answers im looking for, probably just need to look harder but i thought i would ask the experts who can give advice based on time-used experience rather than a quick overview or review from a "omg i just got it!" perspective
I am mostly looking for a replacement for my ipod touch 4th gen. Theres nothing wrong with my ipod, i just want a larger screen for watching movies and playing games and stuff while at work. The lapdock would make this VERY practical for my purposes while at work.
Edit: Something else I need to know. I can get the Atrix 4g for 249.99 from Amazon Wireless if i select Replace Phone. I dotn actually have a contract though, so if i went this route, can i still use the phone without actually having a contract?
Hi everyone
I haven't posted / lurked the firums here since back when I baught my original nexus one phone.
Shortly after that the iPhone 4 and eventually the 4s came out and I have found it hard to go back to android ( I liked the simplicity of iOS)
Lately i am getting over the struggle between Apple and the hackers that allow customers do do what they want with their device. ( I always have my iPhone hacked just so I can run the tweaks apple don't provide)
The apple tv pairs quite nicely with my iPhone and I have also hacked that to run plex so I can stream from my pc.
Development for plex on apple tv is slow and usually buggy due to apples restrictions and every update means developers need to wait for a jailbreak before they can continue development..
Which brings me to the point of this post. The nexus q just might be what I need to come back to android.
These are what would convince me to come back
1. Streaming from pc not just from google play ( I believe it's already being worked on / almost done )
2. Plex / other apps like airtight working ( I believe they should eventually)
3. This would be the icing on the cake. Being able to start a movie / tv show that is on my pc over 3G. Eg. Tge girlfriend is at home and wants to watch a movie but is not too tech savvy so I load plex or a similar app on my phone while I'm at work and select a movie from my library that is on my pc at home and it starts playing on the nexus q!
Should these become a reality I would buy a galaxy s3 and a nexus q right away.
What other things would MAKE you buy a nexus q?
Well only two reasons prevent me from buying one.
Nexus Q is not available in Europe
No Music/Movie/TV Shows in the german Play store
So without the ability to stream whatever I want without the Play Store, it is quite useless at the moment. As soon as stable Custom Roms allow me to stream over WiFi and/or run XBMC I'll import one.
I like the Design, the basic Idea and well, Android. I just don't get why Google kind of messed this up by leaving it up to the Community to make this Ball of any use.
I am hoping the awesome devs have this thing cracked wide open with opportunity soon.
As for the leaving it to the community i kind of like the idea. Its like Google saying we trust the community and don't want to influence them one way or another so they gave them pretty much an empty slate to work with.
You can do music. vpn into music.google then it activates.
I just wish this thing wasn't $299.

I have activated music, however I can't order anything since checkout does not let me buy stuff with my credit card. Besides that I'd have to use a proxy 24/7 which slows down everything. That is not the kind of "experience" google wants to deliver and I don't want to have it either.
It is time that Google goes global with those things, can't be that hard...

My guess is the problem lies with the content deals being restricted by geographic region. Blame the content owners.

I say a realistic price would spur my purchase. $99.
Frankly, with my PC connected to my TVs and audio receiver already, and my phone, tablets, etc already able to connect to my PC and/or TV, I just don't see an advantage to this device.
I'm sure the new nexus q will have some awesome features, I'm not sure about the ones you need but the wonderful thing about android is I'm sure one of our great developers will make that all possible. I have the q and I like it, I'm definitely going to need some more features to really love it but what I have now is great... Especially because it's free.
The new one will most likely be cheaper and have more features I think that it will be better than the Apple tv.

If you own Samsung devices, just get allshare.
I have a ps3 and I can stream content to it via Wi-Fi from my PC or my nexus 7.... really no reason for a Q. If I were to get it, it would be because it looks cool.

+1 I was pretty excited about the Q when I first saw it. I liked the design, the size of it etc but the reviews had me thinking I was better off with my PS3 set up.
hey
has anyone hacked one of these to do other things
Someone needs to buy/donate one of these for a capable dev for Christmas.

Of course. The thing that I did immediately was get SqueezePlayer running on it. This allows the Q to play local music over the network in just about any format (e.g. mp3, 24-bit flac, etc.). Control is handled by an app on your phone/tablet like Orange Squeeze, Squeeze Commander, Logitech Squeezebox Controller, or by pointing your browser to the Logitech Media Server's web interface. Oh, by the way, this also works with Squeezebox apps (e.g. Spotify, Pandora, Rhapsody, Slacker, MOG, etc.). Checkout the list here: http://www.mysqueezebox.com/appgallery
The Q has a ton of potential right out of the box and is easily worth what it is going for on eBay these days - if the user is savvy enough to exploit its potential.
I think the Q was the perfect device for a place like a bedroom where you'd otherwise just have a simple shelf unit (or I do at least). It's more convenient and a bit cleaner than always connecting your phone to the aux input. Plus, it's nice to be able to control it remotely.
The only thing is that it's too expensive. It's priced as a high-end device, but in most of us already have a "high-end" solution for this sort of thing (ie: a PC or similar) which can do a lot more. A device like the Q needs to be [just a bit] cheaper so that it can compete with a shelf unit. Though I realize I'm not the first one to say this.
I'm sure the old pros know what I'm about to ask. I looked at the suggested threads, and a couple seemed relevant, but....well. I thought maybe something could be different for the S5.
We bought an MHL cable before doing any research, and the main purpose was going to be to watch NFL games on a big screen because NBC and DirecTV were in contract dispute. Not really an issue now but it was meant as a backup plan.
So, aside from finding alternate sources for a stream, is there a workaround for outputting the NFL mobile video over HDMI?
I came here to ask about this very same issue. Anyone have any thoughts at all?
