Xoom Essential Apps

Not getting Stupid Zombies to work. It comes up to the game designer's title screen but never makes it past that.

happened to me. I back out of it and reopen it and it works fine. but initially it hangs on the developer screen. otherwise it works awesome. high res and everything.
 
If you folks can find PSX4Droid 1.6, you will be stunned how great PSX games play on with Tegra 2. Dead or Alive and Tekken 3 play smooth with sound. Jerky slow messes on my Incredible and Droid X.

The newer versions of the app are slower, but have better sound. I prefer frame rates and "okay" sound. Still, even the V2 of PSX4Droid in the markt plays a lot faster on the Tegra 2 than other chipsets.
 
"Extended Controls" is an essential app for me on my Evo, and it's working for me on the Xoom.

It allows you to create customized toggle bar widgets in a small area, to conserve screen real estate. I've got it set up on Xoom to allow me to toggle syncing, wifi, airplane mode, and show battery % in a 3 tile wide row. Transparency turned up so it barely shows.

My Verizon for tablets in the market.

However I went through registration process and it said it would send me a text to my tablets mobile number. Only problem I do not see a text message app. :confused:

I have the same issue. When I look in the VZW app, there is actually a phone number associated with the tablet - they apparently assign is a number as that's the only way to track it in their system. The problem is they send the text with the password to that number. There's some fine print saying they will send the password by regular mail to your address in 3-5 days, so I guess I'll just have to wait for that.

The app and the widget will show your data usage without having to log in.

Hows your battery with that apps doing the recent reviews say its been killing battery faster than before
 
Anyone try DrawFree yet? Doesn't look like anyone has downloaded it yet. I hesitate when there aren't many downloads of an app.
 
felt this was worth repeating...

all,

as for setting up the my verizon page. yes it will attempt to send you an sms. what i did was call vzw tech support. the lady (she did this before to a broadband card user) used spare handset she uses to test.. she put that handset on my account, i then hit send on the webpage to generate the sms message. she gets it on the phone in her hand, she reads the message to me.. i then proceed to set up the account. its a workaround and it works. :) i suspect a lot of new vzw users with the xoom will be doing this until vzw updates their automated system...

When I go into the marketplace, there are only 16 tablet apps. It does not include many of the apps mentioned in this thread. Is there a way to pull up all the tablet apps in the marketplace app besides those 16 listed under the android apps for tablet screen?

Just because many work just fine it does not mean they are "Tablet Optimized".

There will be many that get optimized in they next few months. Some will charge extra and some will remain free.
 
Yea, and to answer that more completely, the complete honeycomb sdk has only been available for less than a week, I believe. It's going to take a bit of time for the devs to work with it and fine tune their apps. I'm sure as we move forward we'll see plenty more apps show up in the tablet section of the market. Give it some time.
