Actually, because the bezel is larger, it looks like it makes it easier to grasp with one hand (haven't tried it, could be wrong).

I find the Xoom slightly difficult to hold in one hand after holding it up for some time because I can't grip it in as far as I like without touching the visible screen.
[Xoom General] rmmorse81:
pure Google experience means faster updates. No thanks ASUS
[Xoom General] stinkyjoe:
shouldn't that say "engadget says the eee pad is better than the xoom based on their wonky criteria"? I've got to say, I don't really put much stock in the engadget reviews - ever since they gave the ipad2 a 9 and the xoom a 7 or a 6 or whatever they gave it. They seem to lionize the ability to consume content and summed up their review with "Overall, what attracts us to the Transformer over the Xoom is ASUS' intelligent button and camera placement". I've never had a problem with the xoom camera, but that's just me. Of course, it makes sense when you think about their jobs - they aren't quite journalists, aren't freelancers, and are all in their 20s. When you have real work to do your criteria markedly change.

when i compare my xoom to my iphone 4 I like the xoom a lot more and frankly, that's all that really matters: what i think about it.
[Xoom General] htc6500uk:
The Asus is a pretty pure machine - contrary to rumours and speculation you may have read, it is not "skinned" and does not have a customised UI.

The only extras are Polaris Office, a DNLA WiFi network browser/player , some widgets and a screencap function (long press on "History") - Oh, they have also got a working Card Slot.

None of the above should prevent it getting fast updates.

It's taken Motorola a few months not to get their card slot working although they do blame Google.
[Xoom General] rmmorse81:
Point taken. My bad
[Xoom General] DeerChaser:
One item that is important to me that the Asus doesn't have is dual band wifi.
[Xoom General] cesarcerros31:
i recently got my wifi xoom the hardware is what sold me on it feels solid and clean I'm staying with my xoom because I feel motorola will support us
[Xoom General] ghodzilla5150:
Exactly. +1000 to you good sir. This is what I keep saying a s well. As an owner of a Motorola Xoom I know I will get updates before ANY Honeycomb'd device that is skinned. It's just like the Nexus line of phones. They got Gingerbread before anyone else (and still have it until a DEV bakes it into their ROM).

Pure Google Experience FTW. Everyday of the week.
[Xoom General] ghodzilla5150:
This is very important. How can Asus leave out such an important part of a WiFi device. Dual Band is NEEDED for a WiFi only device
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Sorry bigger is never better. At least when it comes to tablets. :(
[Xoom General] gadgetluva:
i meant grasping like palming a basketball.
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
I think I would still go with the xoom. I am more confident in motorola's build quality than asus. Moreover, the xoom is pure google and should quickly get updates. I see the asus as more geared towards the asian market with its cheaper price, but probably worse support (at least that has been my experience with the tiawainese computer companies).

Having said that every android 3.0 device that comes out increases the install base and therefore pressure for google to release more updates for android and hopefully more tablet apps.
[Xoom General] erzhik:
Who cares about Engadget anyway? Their "reviews" are hardly reviews and only seems to be a bashing contest everything non-apple.
[Xoom General] chbennett:
Actually the Xoom has working SD card. (thanks Tiamat 1.3.1) In my experience, DLNA has been a pain, and most manufacturer software additions are pointless. that said, I haven't played with the Asus, but I would be willing to bet there is not much value added by those apps.

Im sure someone else has/will point this out, just had to say it.

[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
They'd better also sue the PalmOS guys for copying the 'look' and 'feel' (read: 'grid of icons' and 'uninspiring').
[Captivate General] Dani897:
well the touch wiz app drawer does function quite a bit like the apple home screen. but apple is sue crazy. i mean they didn't invent the pinch, scifi movies/tv shows did, unless someone stole there exact implimentation of it there is no way to win. and even still there are only a few logical ways to do such a thing. and who is apple to sue, didnt xerox invent the gui concept that al computers use today? how is this different? they steal ideas all the time.

and as far as the app drawer goes and launcher goes the launcher might lok like ios but thyat's just a matter of how many icon they choose to use, they cant patent the 4 icon view.. and apple doest have an app drawer at all, that alone should take care of the homescreen view. then the app drawer scrolling left to right in a page view is hardly revolutinary. and the icons being arangable also is no big deal. what samsung didn't do was use long press to rearange app drawer icons, not the same. also how many ways can you rearange icons in a limited space?

so it is shaky i think the idea is more to send a message to consumers that they are originators not copycat. it's all about perceptions.

suing samsung is like saying no one else can allow users to customized there apps in an intuitive way. the implimentation may look similar but it is in the app drawer not home screen, actually motorola is more similar because they have icons that auto maticall move out of the way on the home screen if i remember right. also the process of moving icons is very diferent. the drawer needs to be in edit mode from menu and app can not be uninsalled. so i guess it is just about icons that move out of the way when you move them, in that case add motorola to the list!
[Captivate General] htc fan89:
lol apple uses samsung chips in their iphones and ipads and Memory also.
[Captivate General] krips2003:
Steve Job gone nuts... or his 'NUTS' are gone. Next Apple will be again suing Samsung for Honeycomb tab 10.1, since it's as thing as ipad2. I guess this is what happens when you start loosing Market share... you go crazy:mad: :D
[Captivate General] RCLafnjack:
Apple did the same thing in the 80's when Gates and crew stole the look of MAC for Windows. They didn't win that one, They won't win this one.
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
Jobs is on medical leave, so it's the other idiots that can't come up with iphone 5 or ipad 3 so they plan to make up the revenue with litigation.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Not much longer.

Here's an idea: Send them all the componetsthat samsung took out of all the captivates sent back for warranty replacement!
[Captivate General] Espaa Valorum:
Wait, shouldn't they just sue Android / Google instead then? Is TW really that distinctive from the rest of the Android offerings that -that- is the battle they're going to pick??
[Captivate General] LNJ:
If I recall correctly, even the first multi touch iPhone screen was not an Apple invention. They did a hostile take over or something of a Finnish company who invented it.

I could be wrong though!

[Captivate General] vaiol123:
You gotta admit, Touchwiz's app drawer looks very VERY similar to iOS. Vanilla android doesn't, but Touchwiz does. Even the dots on the top thing look similar to iOS (on the bottom on touchwiz 4)
[Captivate General] miahsoul:
Apple reminds me of that FG episode where Chris gets popular. He gets humiliated and falls off the face of the planet in the end despite him being at the top of the food chain the day before.

Apple's argument is horrible. I mean seriously iOS 4 has no widgets on the home screen AND there is probably no other logically coherent way to create an easy to use app drawer than a grid one. Also, look at the design of notebooks. They all have basically the exact same design lcd on the lid, keyboard on the bottom, assorted ports, etc! I predict Apple going to lose another lawsuit, in fact, I see no other outcome but that becoming reality.
[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
I'll agree that TW interface is similar to that of iOS, but that doesn't explain why they're suing over the Nexus S.
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
EIther a misread by apple or gizmodo is what Im thinking
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
Samsung's lawyers response should be along the lines of: "We take offense to Apple's accusations that the Galaxy S phones and tablets are a copy of the iPhone and iPad. Our devices do not instantly make the user a douchbag. Nor are our devices incredibly gay. Hater's gonna hate" :D
[Captivate General] sanjeezy91:
I hope Samsung wipes the courtroom floor with an apple
[Captivate General] sthodupunuri:
apple needs to find a hobby other than suing anything that is a threat to their sales. What are they going to do when samsung decides to stop selling memory for iphones?
[Captivate General] LNJ:
Didn`t they also try to sue for the colour white a few years back?

I think it was for laptops.

CSC = LUX

Build date: April 4th 2011

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] demon-knight:
Wonder why they release JVA as JVB is out, guess we will never know the reasoning unless its a more stable build, or different region
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarrenOL:
Is JVA a later build of 2.3.3 than JVB?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stuclark:
Its XW, not XX. CSC = LUX
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karmacode:
I can't understand...

This should be the other version (maybe the one with CSC ITV) which was supposed to be released this week (according to Samsung's tweets and announcements).

Am I wrong or this "A" and "B" thingie is some kind of chronologic update? I mean, A comes before B, so JVA "might" be worse than JVB...

This is a stupid idea, I know, but I can see that the developers we have here are WAY better than samsung ones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Felixpau86:
It's up on sam firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karmacode:
Sorry, but what do you mean with "UK-centric"? Anyway I am not really sure about flashing these new Gingerbread roms... It seems that they didn't test them much enough before the official release...

Could someone post a quick review for me? Something like:

Good things:

....

Bad things:

....

Thanks! :DD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stuclark:
The XW region code is Western Europe, so often gets used for UK (XEU CSC code) firmwares. XX is worldwide generic, and often defaults to the KOR (Korea) CSC code.

However, this ROM is now confirmed as being a LUX code, which is indeed Western Europe, but not UK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karmacode:
Thank you bud :)

Would you recommend to flash the JVB version of Gingerbread? I'm on the stock 2.2.1 CSC ITV, don't know anything about bootloaders or stuff like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Madrenergic:
If that were the case, then JVK should technically have been more up-to-date than any of the two you mentioned. The only thing we can be certain here is that Samsung's approach to versioning and release is confusing. :(

I don't fault you for saying what you do, but it's important to appreciate the difference between what Samsung's and xda's developers are doing. Samsung's developers have to take a no-frills Android ROM and rebuild it into a usable operating system complete with full support for all the phone's hardware and software packages, to say nothing of having to write the TouchWiz framework from scratch. In comparison, a lot of developers here are just remixing and hacking upon a complete product that Samsung's developers have produced.

The devs here are doing a great thing, and I agree that at times certain decisions that Samsung took on the product design may be quite suspect, but it's not very considerate to discount the hard work of those who have enabled this to all take place in the first place.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stuclark:
I'd wait a couple of days.

I'm using JVB at the moment, having "updated" from JVK (which now looks to be the "generic" release) - the speed these things are popping out, I reckon there'll be an ITV coded release pretty soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karmacode:
Yeah, I got your point, but I meant that here, the Developers work for the whole XDA community - and not only - and they try to create the best Roms or Kernels, which are obviously based on what Samsung releases.

The thing is that it is really great to find people who can spend time on cooking modified roms or kernels, and most of them - if not all of them - do that for free. We are not paying for Samsung's firmware updates, but considering that Samsung's Developers are paid to do the best job they can do for their customers, they should do more. And they COULD.

That's why I think XDA ones are better, because they consider what people asks for and what people would like.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Naeem786:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hostilevader:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karmacode:
I'm not that positive... Of course, as soon as SGS II comes out, some developers will try to port TW4.0 on our SGS, but if it was possible I think Samsung would have added it with the last update.

Maybe some new firmwares will come out in a few days (weeks, months, years LOL) and maybe, as you stated before, we will have TW4 on our phones...

Let's hope.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rizzy123:
I think Samsung aren't gonna release Touchwiz 4 for the Galaxy S and if they do it will be after the S2 has hit the market.

It gives more reasons to upgrade to the latest S phone and also makes it an even bigger release than it already is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] j.go:
That's not really a fair comparison. Samsung devs have to make a rom that would satisfy its 10 million or so user base. It can be very difficult to find a middle ground that would please all. The fact that you have people who prefer Doc's over Darky, or vice-versa and other assorted roms floating around like ultimate, juwe, serendipity, etc. and projects like CM7 and MIUI, shows you how diverse the sgs user base is. Then you have those who match the different kernels with the different roms. And that's only those who come to XDA! I'd be surprise if we even have half a million sgs users here.

All Samsung can be expected to do, in my opinion, is create a ROM that is functional and optimized (which I think they have achieved since the 2.2.1 roms with the exception of GPS), and release the source so others with more specific needs may modify to their own requirements. And THAT, I believe, is the beauty of Android.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phalanger:
Youre being silly. Ofcourse the Samsung coders don't consider what people ask for, they consider what their boss tells them they should do. Do you really think they have the freedom to include fancy snippets of code of their own idea?

Also youre really comparing apples to loafs of bread here. Its not quite comparable to make a stock rom or to take that stock rom and add a few fancy tweaks.

If XDA coders were really so much better, how come they dont write a ROM from scratch? Only coders coming close to doing that is CM team, and their ROM for SGS isnt exactly more stable then the original so really, youre not seeing the whole picture when you praise xda hobbycoders over the peolpe developing the ROMs for your phone. Its like comparing building a doghouse to building a 100-story high appartment complex.

Hello,

I would like my app to simply start the build in media player and play a video. I've seen lots of information about creating a VideoView or creating a SurfaceView and using the android.media.MediaPlayer class but this is not what I want. I'm looking for something simple like

intent video Intent = new Intent(SOME_ACTION, PATH_TO_VIDEO);
startActivity(videoIntent);

is this possible?

Thanks,

Sam

Edit: I don't know what I was doing before but it does seem to work exactly like that

I just did

Uri uri = Uri.parse("path_to_video");
Intent videoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(videoIntent);
