HBO and Hulu deliberately doen't work with mobile phones. Try something else that requires Flash video, like Youtube or CollegeHumor.

The three things I absolutely hated about my BB Curve were the crappy browser, locked GPS, and inability to download more than two apps (thanks to the miniscule internal storage). The DX solves all those problems and more: the browser is amazing and quick, the GPS is fully usable (though a bit...

I'm sure that ADW.Launcher is also available for phones running 2.1, but I'm personally using LauncherProPlus (love the extra widgets and scrollable dock!) and when I tried ADW, I believe I got it from the Market.

I hate to say it, but BBM's biggest asset is its ubiquity. It avoids the "fax machine effect" (you can only communicate with other who have it) by coming pre-installed on all Blackberries. All of the "BBM for Android" apps need to become immensely possible, or ideally pre-installed on all...

It's also great meeting other Android users in public places. Android isn't as ubiquitous as the iPhone or Blackberry, but it's nowhere near as obscure as webOS. There are lots of people who are just starting to get Android phones, so they're somewhere in the public consciousness, but they're...

But you can't play a video in rockplayer through HDMI out (until this app is released). So even if rockplayer or Coreplayer plays it, it has to be playable by the stock app (i.e. the Gallery video player) in order to use HDMI out, right?

If you don't want Facebook contacts in your contacts, and you don't want to worry about any of the problems that have been plaguing people with the default Facebook app, then just get "syncmypix" from the Market. It will look at all your Facebook friends and try to match them with your contacts...

Really? I thought you could only play content TAKEN WITH THE DROID X through the HDMI port. Are you sure you can load a movie into the gallery?

People who ordered it on the release date had it within a few days. I ordered mine on July 30th and had it within a week. This is nowhere near as bad as the Incredible. The Verizon subscriber base is incredible large (just imagine how many Blackberries they've sold in the last few years!) and...

What about now?

If you want to be able to see the other tabs/windows, then get Dolphin Browser HD. The stock browser supports multiple windows, but you can only view one at a time.

FW is a great widget but doesn't come with its own little weather app; if you click on the weather icon, nothing happens. You can, however, set it to launch an application (like Weatherbug). BW, on the other hand, launches its own mini-weather app when you click the weather icon; it has the...

That clock/weather widget is BW smaller home, but what's that mirrored skin called? edit: Actually, that doesn't look like BW. What is it?

@Ludachris The default launcher is Stock. If you get HomeSwitcher, you can set the default to LauncherPro and you can switch launchers on the fly. @john I'm using LauncherProPlus and all my widgets (Blur, Android, and LPP) are resizable. I know you have access to the special LPP widgets if you...

Just using Stock for now since it's pretty good, fast, and (most of all) convenient. If you don't like Stock, though, I'd suggest Dolphin HD.
