Guest swarrans Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ok, here's my top 9 favourite apps: 1. Launcher Pro 2. Twidroyd Pro 3. Dropbox 4. Skype 5. TuneIn radio 6. Wordlog 7. OfficeSuite Pro 8. Google Translate (great with voice recognition) 9. Built-in web browser (because it works) I was interested in your post because i want to use the vega to show powerpoint slide shows via the hdmi to a projector. I downloaded the officesuite pro trialthat you like but im not sure it can show the slides full screen and does not appear to change slides by flicking - i think documents to go does do this - have yiu tried that and am i right about officesuite pro? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whatkatedoes Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Loving Tweetcaster, JJComics, and ofcourse Angry Birds :P Still looking for a decent shoutcast/streaming audio player tho - winamp wouldnt do anything for me, Antplayer works but only in little screen, wont go full screen and is a bit flaky.

Guest English Haze Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Day of of being a Vega owner, here's the list so far: The Good Apps: ... Chrome to phone (Send a tab from your browser to your vega - Ha-maze-ing) ... Chrome to Phone is bloody amazing. Instant link transfer, Desktop to Vega. Very,very smart. I can transfer everything I've been reading on the desktop to the tablet before retiring to the couch to read :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming I get a Vega allocated from batch 4, that's the first app that will get installed...

Guest sned Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Has anyone tried the update spotify app that was released today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wizard Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Has anyone tried the update spotify app that was released today? It seems to work ok, but the bottom nav is half off the screen (I suspect by the same amount as the top bar is thick compared to he standard Android top bar). It's entirely usable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graham Macleod Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 It seems to work ok, but the bottom nav is half off the screen (I suspect by the same amount as the top bar is thick compared to he standard Android top bar). It's entirely usable though It does work, but I can't seem to get it to behave consistently. It keeps losing its connection, going green, then blue as it loses it's connection. It's rather peculiar - there's nothing wrong with the networking that I can see. Logging off Spotify and back on again seems to help - briefly, sometimes. It's not a fix. Anyone else have similar problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I can always take photos with the Vega webcam and email them home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
