Good write up on TF in USA today tech section. today
Here is the link.
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2011-05-21-review-eee-pad-transformer_n.htm
It's an Associated Press article, so it has been reposted on tons of sites.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110518/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_digital_life_tech_test_eee_pad_transformer
Yahoo news is a good place to read ignorant comments.
'iPad apps, including The Wall Street Journal are not available at all'!
He's never heard of 'world newspapers app' then!
'Others, such as The New York Times, are available only in inferior versions, designed for the smartphone'
Never bothered looking through the market and found 'New York Times Tablet Edition'!!
What's the point of having reviewers that don't know jack ****.
Great, now laymen will be competing with us to try to get the unavailable tablet...

More sales, means more focus from ASUS on bug fixes and updates.
Community help with marketing
Here on XDA I have seen many members collaborate which is great. Nobody is perfect but we can combine our knowledge and create something which is really amazing. This is one of the reasons I like XDA for. :good:
Currently there are threads for developers who are looking for testers, translators and designers.
However, it is a shame if we create fantastic apps and nobody is downloading them.
To bring the collaboration to the next level I set up this thread.
Developers, here are your marketing experts.
This thread is divided into different sections for different purposes.
If you want to participate, send me a PM with a link to your profile and tell me what you are skilled in. I will add you to the list.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO):
Your app needs to be found using search.
Waiting for you to be the first one...

Demo videos and screenshots:
If you present your app in an app store, the first thing in addition to the description your consumers see are the screenshots and the demo video. Providing a demo video is a huge advantage. It is one of the best opportunities to present your app to your costumer.

If I have the time, I'll see if I can write up a more comprehensive marketing guide covering the pricing and promotion strategies and aspects of marketing. Both are really important, especially for this market, and quite a few times I've seen apps that seem to have potential hindered by a not-so-smart/appropriate pricing/promotion strategy that the dev have in place :/

Added app reviews category.
Exchange Reviews with other developers
Today Android marketing is very expensive right now, so why not a review exchange?
androidki[.]com
Androidki is a exchange review web totally for free, your app can be reviewed by the web authors and also by other users in the web.
Also reviews are schema.org standarized so the reviews will also appear on google results
Best of luck with your android app!

Well I guess I'll toss my hat into the ring for some more reviews.
I'm doing a little android blog/review thing. It's in VERY early beta and i'm playing with it everyday so it'll be changing plenty.
http://androidsexplained.com/reviews.php
That's the reviews page, I already got a few big apps up, and bunch more I have to upload.
Basically its gonna be the standard bigger apps, and I want to have a good section focusing on the smaller and indie developers. Give some love back to XDA and all that.
Every little bit helps, so if you need a review feel free to message me on here or mail me at [email protected]

My team and I are working on a new competitive sports app for Windows 8.1 SMAX is a team based fantasy sports experience where fan bases compete against each other along side the sports teams they represent.
We are in the early stages and looking for some technologically savvy users to help shape our development with feedback.
More information and the bits are available at http://smaxsports.com
If you are into sports and Win8 apps, we'd love your input. Thanks!

I'll make you a deal
If you're willing to recruit a few more hockey fans to join the beta we'll add NHL by Wednesday.
NHL is a go

Nice! Made some predictions. The prediction bar for hockey is huge, but that's fine for now. Didn't want to give a 20pt advantage to any hockey team.. Seen a few others that seem happy for hockey too. Ready to see how this works out for tonights games...
Chris
Hey also, thanks a bunch for your app and sharing the beta! Hope the best for you!
Thanks for the feedback. We have a plan for a variable sized prediction bar that will have more appropriate upper and lower bounds for each sport. If you think of anything else you'd like to see in the app we created a subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/smax as a home for general feedback and discussion.

Sorry folks, trading reviews is not very honest and not in the spirit of true development, where free exchange of ideas and respectful contributions should be made. Using XDA to create this exchange is not very honest in that those who do not know XDA exists will get a false sense that all these apps are all 5.0....Let's be fair here, creating these "exchanges" is not really what XDA is for..
These threads will be summarily closed. So, use this thread and all the others here at XDA for their true intentions.
Thanks

I have submitted my app and see if you could help. Thanks for your offer.
I am also going to search any good forum/groups/etc for brain/puzzle games. But so far I cannot find one.
