On 7/25 at some point in the evening, Amazon put up a message on the Chromecast product page saying that if you had ordered prior to 5:30PM PST on 7/24,then you would get your code emailed within 5 days. From what I have been gathering, the offer still being listed on the site well beyond that...

Got mine today from amazon. I've been using it for the past 8 hours and still no Netflix code. I definitely got in at least 3 hours before their retroactive cutoff time today too.

Can anyone confirm whether or not multiple machines can connect to a Bluetooth PAN and all share the same internet connection? Currently when we travel, I use my Droid with WiFi Wireless Tether running to provide internet to my iPad and the wife's laptop. If I were to switch the Droid over to...

Yes there are. Just not Moto Xoom's (yet)

I just wanted to post a followup. I was able to connect my rooted Droid 1 to my Windows 7 desktop over bluetooth PAN using "Wireless Tether". I had a hell of a time trying to get Bluetooth tether going over PDAnet using the DUN profile. Can anyone confirm whether or not the Xoom will connect...

no bluetooth either?! Are you saying you cannot tether to the D1 over bluetooth? I also have a rooted D1 that currently tethers my WiFi only iPad. I was planning to get WiFi only Xoom when it comes out and use it the same way. However, if its not possible to tether over WiFi or Bluetooth, I...

GMail Google Listen (Android Central Podcast!) Helix Launcher Lock Delay (My own app to delay the lock pattern) Uniwar (great crossplatform turn based strategy game) Seesmic Audio Manager (adjusts audio volumes on a daily schedule)

You are correct. However, its a lot easier to make it through a 12 month contract! Plus you're eligible for subsidized upgrades at the 10 month mark. I don't know about you guys but personally, I can never stick with the same phone throughout a whole 2 year contract.

The included Facebook app obviously isn't the best around. Judging by screenshots and reviews in the market, this one isn't much better. Are there really any good reasons to download this one?

I was using Helix in 2.0.1. Worked great just no live wallpapers. Installed the 2.1 update this morning and its still working well except now live wallpapers work too.

Google Listen is great. The new integration with reader is a big plus. The one big feature that nobody seems to offer thatI would be willing to pay good money for is variable speed playback. I guess the built-in Android media player doesn't support it and apparently hats what all the apps on the...

I am in the Phoenix area too. Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the GPS when this happens. Seems to work well for me. I use the built in homescreen widget for that.

that's not what I was implying. I should have more clearly stated "If you don't like it, cancel the new droid's line before the 30 days are up and wait for something better to come along." Verizon's new $350 ETF is ridiculous. In fact, I'd recommend paying a little more for the handset...

I had the same thoughts but figured you can always "return" it in the Android Market for a full refund within 24 hours of purchase.

You said it brother. Unfortunately, with the number of not-so-technically-inclined users moving from feature phone to smartphone, there will be a lot of users that are not confident or technically capable enough to make it through the rooting process. I've chosen to stay stock myself for app...
