I tried skybook and mobilizer. neither worked very well. the basics were there but they both have a long way to go. the skybook app always failed to close properly and mobilizer never seemed to open properly.

This is not really an app, but some have suggested using the facebook page for iphone. I believe it is something like iphone.facebook.com or so.
EDIT: Na, I take it back. This certainly won't help you. I just tested the iphone facebook and did not like it. It seems that it uses resolutions for the iphone and everything looks big and blurry on the HD. Besides, that was no really what you were looking for anyway.

Here you go: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=16698519604

If you are going to use Facebook on a PDA, just use "m.facebook.com"... It is a web page obviously, but is formatted better for smaller screens...

Theres one being developed by this very site!

Google RSS Reader Application: Developers Wanted

Anyone interested in helping out?
*EDIT*
This application is complete, and has been branded G:RSS. The new thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700948
The release: http://nowsci.com/techviews/20100612/grss-a-google-reader-rss-app-for-windows-phone-7-wp7/

Unfortunatly I´m unable to help, but please continue with your work, it looks very very nice!

Sounds interesting. How far have you got, and whats still to do?
From the looks of the screenshot, it seems you've allready got most stuff working. Just need some design tweaks

I've got the structure laid out and am working through the Google API now. My biggest issue is I'm new to Silverlight/C#, and while it is 99% straightfoward, I'm having a problem figuring out how to get the HTTP Request working properly. I've got a thread started on the Windows Phone 7 forum here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo.../thread/8e918a12-135a-45b3-9764-0a24f631f4b3/
And yea, the UI is my first pass, it's what I'm working towards until I get it functioning fully in the emulator, then I'll revise.

Nice, but I think what is really needed is a view like you get on reader.google.com, where you can click through your news items in its full form.

I'll be building in swipe gestures, right for next article, left for previous. I think this is the best way to display an article and navigate. I was debating on placing the headline for the next article below, so you could tap on it, but longer articles would force scrolling. If anyone has any suggestions for how navigation could work otherwise, I haven't built that piece of the puzzle yet, so I'm open.

Nice screens. If you are stuck and need help I am a WP7Dev and have some time to do XAML and other stuff. PM me if you are still looking for help.
I also built a GReader WP7 app, screens are not as well designed as yours! Good job.

I'm actually finishing it up now. It's fully functional with almost all of the features of the desktop reader including on-phone caching. It's also looking much better than my concepts including theme options. I'll post a video when its complete, to see if there are any other things people want.

Great! Can´t wait for the video!

Why a Google RSS reader?

Syncing with Google Reader, so you see the same read / unread items on your mobile and on your Desktop. I like it.

Hope you get some help from here. Gunnar is a friend of mine.

So I actually just completed it on my own. Was a great way to get into WP7 development. I've since named the application, and have a video of it posted. The new thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700948

[Q] Developing web-based mobile speed test - not yet working on all WP7 devices

Hi, we don't have any Windows Phone 7 devices in house, so we're having trouble debugging/testing, any one interested in trying this out and letting us know if it works or not, and if not, which phone you are using?
geekaphone.com/mobile-speed-test
Thanks!
(We've had a bunch of android/iPhone/bberry users run the test, getting some good data, but no wp7 yet, probably cause its not working?)

Thanks for trying it drbuns.. damn I thought it was working on Samsung Focus.
Do either of these work:
jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/
jquerymobile.com/test
This is the framework we're using - if either of those works then I should be able to get our site working...

Thanks man.. can you just confirm, does geekaphone.com give you a server-not-found? That one I can't figure out.. if it gave you a white screen then I might think its a compatibility issue with our site and WP7..

Yeah can't get to that site at all on my Trophy
PM me and I'll give my email details if you want to do further testing.

On HTC Surround, geekaphone gives a completely blank page. The jquery pages load, but clicking any of the links loads the text initially, then most of the text disappears, leaving only a slim vertical strip visible on the left-hand side of the screen.

Same here in regards to jQuery.
I also get the page cannot be found issue with the wp7 emulator on geekaphone.com
Maybe try the mango rom? There a few functional "gaps" with WP7 at the moment.

Works fine on my HD7 I can view the site and take the test. I got 300 points

Samsung focus on att USA, worked fine for me.
In "desktop" mode, it identified att, but didn't recognize att as a wireless carrier and didn't identify the phone at all.
In "mobile" mode, it recognized att as my wireles carrier, but identified my phone as a samsung Omnia 7

I tried this on my HTC Arrive. It worked almost perfectly, but it called it a 'Generic Windows Mobile' with WIFI. Then I tried with no WIFI, but then it asked me what phone I had. I chose the Arrive, and then it showed the speeds. Great work, keep it up!

How to stop Advertisement?

I´m looking for some Threads here and follow them.
But since a few Days - i have opened more Tabs in IE - sometimes i here sound coming out of my PC.

Best Way?
Get a browser that supports adblock.
Some people were saying that if you're a Recognised contributor you won't get ads (I never had them in the first place because I use adblock)

There is another way to stop ads, and not sure how well it works, and since I don't use it.
Google for "adblock hosts file".

No need to be so defensive. I tried to help you get rid of both the adverts which are annoying you and the horror that is Internet Explorer. Plus, if you have an Android phone (chances are you do, being on XDA) Google is already 'watching you', and far better on your phone with all of the location data and stuff than on your PC . Speaking of Android, using Chrome would give you much better integration with your phone (again, if you have an Android phone)

[Q] Is Samsung done developing S-Note?

The ONLY thing that makes me even think about buying a wildly overpriced Windows 8 tablet is the ability to use OneNote. The sad part is that S-Note is just so damned close to being a OneNote killer app but it seems like Samsung got 80% of the way there and JUST QUIT.
Let's start with the unreadable .snb standard. As far as I can tell, even .snb readers for Windows can't read it. Unless you export your S-Notes as .pdf''s you are pretty much screwed being able to view them on your Desktop. So why would Samsung choose such an obscure standard with zero compatibility? Next can we talk about Templates? How hard would it be for Samsung to include a Template Editor so the grown-ups can create and save their own Templates instead of being forced to use the few Samsung thinks we all want? How about being able to create and save typing styles? How about being able to restart voice recording on a previously created S-Note? How about being able to embed a recording within a specific spot in your S-Note? If I can embed a video why can't I embed a recording? One of the best things about OneNote is being able to search on written text. Samsung, any ideas on that? How about being able to place a typing cursor just by clicking the screen where I want it? How about automatically typing around pictures instead of over them? How about being able too cut and move blocks of text?
So much about S-Notes just doesn't seen done to me, but as far as I can tell, those crazy Koreans at Samsung think it's perfect as is.
Please Samsung, I don't want to buy a Windows 8 tablet but you are forcing my hand.
** I am hoping that the new Awesome Note app coming with the Note 8.0 will solve some of these issues assuming we'll be able port it to our Note 2.

Why don't u do the work and forward the post that you wrote here to Samsung ... you have a better chance of it happening i if you were to send your recommendations to Samsung ... Not many on here work for Samsung I am guessing ....
Maybe they just don't have creative people on this app. ... maybe they would give you something as a reward. .. never know until you try ... or you could learn Java code your own app and instant profit

Awesome idea! Please give me the personal email of the Head of S-Note Development at Samsung and I'll get right on that. While you are at it, link me to the Samsung Support Forums on their website - oh that's right, Samsung doesn't have Support Forums.
I'm so happy a super-connected guy like you came along to solve the problem.
Also, I really should have bought a Java book and rewritten the entire S-Notes app myself as you suggest. I'm so dumb. I could have made millions!

Why don't you do a search finding samsungs emails isnt that hard. Or you could just keep stomping your feet and crying about it. That's really productive. :thumbdown: samsungs forum's aren't on samsung.com but Google can tell you how to find em if you actually, you know, searched.
Edit: just cuz I'm feeling nice http://developer.samsung.com/forum/en took all of 2 seconds searching "samsung + forum" on teh googlez
I like to break stuff!
