http://1saleaday.com/wireless/ has the G-Tech Bluetooth Wireless Fabric Keyboard with Adjustable Key Sensitivity & ElekTex Flexible Technology
for ten bucks shipped. I just ordered it and won't have any idea about compatability or usefullness until I get it. But I imagine that it should be just fine.
Since it is a deal a day site. These deals are here one minute and gone the next.
I'll post a quickie review when it comes in.
EDIT; I just got back from reading the reviews at Amazon... Doesn't look good at all. Might work with the tablet, might not. Buy at your own risk. Next time I read the reviews first... DOH!

This would be really cool if it worked well!

Yeah, be nice if it works. I do not expect it too, but if I have any success I will post it here. The device actually requires an app installed on a pc or windows mobile phone(not the new windows phone) to work. There's like maybe a 2% chance that it will.
Sorry about cluttering the board with this...

At first I thought 'interesting' then I read the Amazon reviews, as you did, then I thought 'ouch'.

I thought I was the only only one to say meh its only ten dollars! Im still waiting and hoping it works at least twice.LOL
Im hoping this will work with the phone since the 10 amazon one wont because of outdated drivers. (works for HC though LOL)!

I bought this keyboard only to find out about it, after i got it home, that it does not work with android.
I do have a touchpad and it is suppose to work with palm OS so perhaps it will work on that tablet.
Anyone get it to work on android device or the touchPad running WebOS?

Hey guys, check this out:
[ok i'm not able to post external links, but search for blue piano]
This may work on the keyboard. Someone has tried it, but there are issues with the keyboard sending extraneous characters.

Found the app in the market... BluePiano.
It does seem to pick up the keystrokes. I've only tried the demo version. I think that those extra characters are a "feature" of the demo. Lol it is a 20 dollar app so the price of this cheap keyboard just went to the next level.
Thanks so much for the tip. I may get the app when I get paid.

[DEV/REQ] Grid Launcher

So, I was very bored, and I made a concept. I'm sure you've all seen GridOS, and I know that you've probably seen many people asking for it. I really wish we could get something like this going on android. I know literally nothing about creating apps (yet) but I wonder if the designer of Launcher 7 would be interested, my concept is basically a 4-way-scrollable version of his existing app. I'd be willing to help with graphics in ANY way.

I feel that this should be in themes
It would be nice to see grid os, I thought it was built on android? They say they can use android apps so I'm assuming yes we just need to port or *a* port.

Actually, this isn't just a theme. This is a hopeful development thread for a full-fledged home replacement app. I contacted the developer of Launcher 7, and he said that he doesn't have time to work on anything right now. He did say, however, that he was playing around with the idea of a Windows 8 launcher for android, but that this looked much more interesting.
Very interesting idea, actually more interesting than the Win8 layout itself. I haven't got right now time for coding tablet, but if I prototype it again, I'll definitely look at this approach over win8.

Funny that after 30+ years of Windows, these are the best on offer for the "new" Win. Yes, I've always wanted to go retro and play all the rejects from the 80s. Where do I sign up? Do they have DRM, too? Can I also get IAPs? >pant, pant<
Drooling in anticipation...
OK not really.
Totally sirius so when is Skyrim showing up on Metro? Any real game that aren't high school projects?

I also would like to see what touchscreen enabled games that people recommend. I am currently playing Dredd vs Zombies. It is a great action/shooter game. I am hoping to find a good strategy/building game in the genre of age of empires or majesty for my latitude 10 tablet. I just installed all my gods but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. For match 3 gwmes I am playing Montezuma 3.

@e.mote: Fine, install Civ 5. No, it's not in the store. That doesn't stop you from putting it on Win8 though, and it even has explicit support for touch controls.
Wordament is a lot of fun on my Surface RT. Not a "play for hours" game typically (although you can), and definitely not an "oh, shiny graphics!" game, but just *fun*. The Pinball FX2 game that often comes pre-installed is good too, although all but the default table are paid (the default table is free). Soulcraft is worth trying.
On my Win8 desktop, I play mostly Heroes of Newerth, Civ5 (non-touch-mode, since it doesn't have a touchscreen), Faster Than Light, EVE Online, and a bunch of others of varying ages. Nothing special about any of them for Win8; they're just Windows games. Aside from a bit of Pinball, though, I haven't actually played the Metro apps much at all on my PC. I'm sure there's good ones, for fair prices, but I've got a huge backlog of games mostly from GOG and those work great too...

Skulls of the Shogun is pretty cool, Turn based monster slasher/tactic with a tons of extra stuff. http://skullsoftheshogun.com/

[GAME] The Colored Path : my first game is on the Google Store

Hi fellow app developers! I'm very excited, as a humble game creator, I'm presenting you my very first game.
I have realized the game all by myself, in only two weeks. It is made in Java, under Eclipse, using the middle-ware LibGDX, and using Inkscape for the graphics. Graphics have been designed to supports the super HD resolution of 2560×1600 of the Nexus 10 tablets ! But it also runs smoothly on lower end devices.
I'd like to hear what you think about it, of course the game itself, if it is fun, if you like the game play, and also the marketing presentation I've made, and hear any advice you can give me.
Go get it ! It's free ! Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!
Don't hesitate to share it with your friends, your children and your parents ! Everyone can play it, everyone will love it :fingers-crossed: !

It is really nice app. I didn't see games like this before.

Hey, just downloaded it now. I like the design, and how fun it is. Good job!

Color blindness affects a significant number of people, and it was very interesting to learn about it.
Do you know for example that some people don't see any difference between yellow and green ? we have to think differently about the colors we use when making our apps.
A great software I recommend for 'seeing' as color blind people is Color Oracle.
Happy coding !

[PROJECT] Writing proper emulators for Android

Hey guys, I know you've seen a lot of some emulators on the Play store, for all kind of old-school consoles, NES, SNES, N64... Most of them are released under GPL license, so yes, they are open source. Sadly, the UI design doesn't match with Android's holo (4.0+) style. So, my proposal is simple. Let's develop a couple of free, open source emulators, from XDA members, with a proper UI (I can help with that, I've written a couple of modern looking apps: LockIt, wRotatr, Halo)))). My weak point is JNI. I hate it. Period. I will need a lot of help to get the emulators buiding, but after I get them, you will see a lot of UX/UI improvements.
Sources can be found here. I'd like to start with Nesoid. So, is anybody here, expert on JNI development, willing to help me on this? :good:
Cheers,
D4.

Bumping this, I have archieved some UI fixes. Still not able to build native libraries.

I haven't been able to build native libraries yet. Without that there's no emulation

How's the emulation overhaul coming along? Seems like a great project

I'm trying another UI attempt, but it's not yet working (emulation still broken, I haven't found anyone to help me with JNI)
