Android, the real mobile platform

[Joy]

I have a DS. Never used it since I got my iPhone. And no, they are not fun and definately not good enough now that I'm spoiled with stuff like CivRev, HeavyMach2 and Sentinel2 on the iPhone.

3 woulda been about perfect. Home, Menu, Search are useful. the other 2 should go.

Gonna look at them now. And keep those tips coming

Meh, I guess that's personal, I tend to only game very casual on my phone, like 2-3 mins tops now and then, really don't need DS quality games for that

The Desireeeeeeeeeeeee has 5 hw buttons bottom? SGS has 3 anyways, perfect imho.

And if you haven't tried those two, you haven't tried much tbh, they are so popular, need to look further than searching Market They have all I need anyways, all the social sites, buttons to switch features, weather, clocks, etc

Oh and for a really good calendar + widget: Jorte

yeah..... not so much on the Desiré....... The Beautiful Widgets are nice, but apart from the one-button-wifi/BT/silent/etc, the Desiré already has all of those by default. The other one is actually "stolen" from HTC. HTC delivers it by default as well. So no real need to download either of them.
Is there a better GMail app then the default one? For a google OS the GMail support kinda sucks. Can't even delete multiple EMails at once, have to select each separately

You dint know yet? Ninty 3DS will have mandatory headphones, GSM function and automatic game override when you get a phonecall.

 

[Lonei]

But it's not a phone.

But it's not a phone.

What's the difference between a handheld game thingy that can make phonecalls and a highly advanced Unix-based computer that can make play games and make phonecalls?.......
In other words: Neither is an iPhone or an android based handheld.

So simply clicking the check mark at the left of each message in the list and pressing delete doesn't work for you? Works fine on the default Gmail app on my nexus one!

Works for me as well (on Desire), also an option to bunch up all mails per person, so you can delete a whole bunch of mails you got from the same person with just 1 click

Now with Skype too

Not for SGS yet :<

And according to the reviews it's still a bit crappy.... Things like not being able to sign out, difficult to close the application, no voice chat on 3G..... Not really worth it yet.

 

[Chirrad]

Signing out is not impossible, but they've put it in a very non-intuitive place (switch to the third tab, My Info, then press Menu, then Sign Out). But the 3G comment - even Skype's own website says this is only in the US - voice over 3G is available everywhere else (though your mobile network may prevent this, or exclude it from your inclusive data usage).

apparently this action wipes your auto-login password though....... not very userfriendly?
