This is a new premium channel like HBO, Showtime, etc. When you sign up you will want to say you are a Charter customer and live in a Charter area. You can use zip code 29615.

Does this sound like spam to anyone else? -_-

Of course not, the fellow just wanted to inform us of this nice new feature for the nexus one. However I can see how the total absence of anything Android related could confuse someone.

if this is a legit way to watch movies on my nexus then i personally would say its not spam...

Not a spam. I have used it to watch a Black Eyed Peas concert. I guess as a promotional offer, they are giving 7 days free.
Nothing to do with Nexus One or android though.
Here is a link to engadget on that:

No this is not directly related to android. But a site that benefits from android. Just learned about it at work and you can sign up using different email addresses to get more than one trial.I figured I would post this in general as it does not fit in any other section.

sigh, sadly i could register and all, but once i get to watch a movie, it won't let me since im not in the u.s.

Thread reported.

Reported for what? A kick ass site that will play blockbuster movies on the nexus. Sorry you don't like watching movies on your phone. I work for a cable company and wanted to let you all know of the trial so the xda community can enjoy it too.

[INDEX] Community help with marketing

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.

By the way, if you have got ideas for new categories, tell me.

Cheers. This will help us app developers a lot

Yooo man you always come up with something special for us Developers...
Cheers!!

Really great idea and something i could do with right about now! Hope this goes to plan
Cheers

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!
:cyclops:

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]

Live video from the London launch

HTC have invited me to attend the HTC One Launch at London Olympia on 25th March. I'll be there in the front row along with 19 other lucky HTC fans to witness the spectacle and meet up with the big names at HTC.
There will also be plenty of opportunity to have some hands-on time with the new HTC One so it is going to be a great experience. The phone itself has been leaked in the blogosphere and press until most people believe they've seen it all already, but for me, leaks seem so tawdry and sly. There's nothing quite like the razzamatazz of a product launch to add spice and whatever they show me, I'll be suitably excited.
Not only will I be attending, but along with 2 other fans on-site and our very own @mike_1986, we will be delivering a live video feed of the entire proceedings. Three of us will be cameramen on-site and Mike will be back home at ARHD Headquarters twiddling the knobs. We will be using our own HTC One phones and Hangouts-on-Air to bring you the action.
We have HTC's permission to do this so it's all semi-official.
We won't just cover the presentation, as most official videos seem to do. We will also be continuing to broadcast during the hands-on and entertainment session, so that we can bring you live action where it matters.
For more information you can:
# Follow the hashtags #ARHDLiveHTCOne and #M8Live on Twitter for up-to-date news of the steam (e.g. the url for the Youtube link)
# Subscribe to Mike's Youtube Channel for the broadcast (https://www.youtube.com/user/michalbanszel)
# Or keep in touch on the Android Revolution HD Blog site for up-to-date action (http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.nl/2014/03/android-revolution-on-htc-one-2014.html)
Please remember that this is a totally amateur attempt and will be dependent on 3G or WiFi bandwidth and coverage within London Olympia. We can promise nothing absolutely, but we do promise we will try to do it ...
The whole thing will be broadcast 'on-the-fly' with almost no storyline, so please don't expect us to look at specific things .. You can ask ... We'll try, but we don't know what we will be allowed to do with the samples yet !!
And if you are interested or would like to help us reach out ... Please share the hashtags #ARHDLiveHTCOne and #M8Live and links above as widely as possible.
When the event is actually taking place I will try to replace this Youtube link with the live feed connection.
Watch this Space ...
If you're a blogger, please feel free to embed the feed on your blog or link to Mikes blog page (above). All we ask is that if you do embed the feed, please add a credit to Mike's blog as the originator of the video.

Thanks for doing this, 5 days left...

Not long to wait ...
I've also asked XDA's own Shen Ye if he can find the time to do a 5-10 minute, on camera hands-on for us .. Waiting on his reply now.

So you guys are gonna play with the devices before the actual show? That's the way it always is , the press plays with the devices, make their hands on, videos etc and after the show they post them

Nope .. we're not press we're fans .. so we get no special preview privileges .. We only get to touch the phones after the big reveal.
What we're going to do for value add is continue beyond jsut the presentation ... normally official videos of launches stop after the presentation. They may run a couple of adverts but it's all 'potted' stuff.
We're hoping to rope in Shen Ye to do a 5 minute hands on and we also want to cover some of the press reactions and general show scenes .. ... and do it live - as it's happening (well - with a 30 second to 1 minute spooling delay) ...
Once the live vid is closed it will be preserved on Mikes channel on Youtube.

Let's see if i can link the live feed directly to the OP ... this should be an interesting experiment

:good:

Bump now the video link is made. See you all at 2:45

Sweet. Let's see how this goes.
