Hey guys,
I'm searching for some Applications and Gamez to present the features of my HD.
Friends often ask me what I like so much on my HD and why I did't buy an iPhone. I don't know what to answer then... Always showing the Game Teeter is so boring! I testet the iPhone for about a week and wasn't as thrilled as I'm now with my HD.
Searching in the XDA Forum wasn't very successful to me
Greez and thank you for helping me...
a good start would be to take pictures of ur phone, so u can show a little but of the functions and themes.
A nice program is 'Pocketscreen' which can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328627
Thank you for your post!
I rather thought about the case when they are standing next to me and want to see what my HD is able to do... Something spectacular, you know...
Maybe we can compile a catalog of such "viewy applications"!
oh, lol, sorry then, i missunderstood ya
mhhh, so i think u r searching for advantages of the touch hd, aren't u?
well...if u wanna impress ur friends u just have to show them windows mobile...
what's so special about it? try to get tomtom or other apps working on iPhone...
Take a look at this.

too bad games are running slow as hell on the touch hd.........sigh.........
So you are looking for some "mine is bigger than yours" application just to show off?
Sorry, couldn´t resist.....
Just go to opera, copy a random link, open an email, page the link in a message and tell them to try that on their iphone
Coreplayer 1.3.0 and put on any dvd rip movies and make them jealous with envy, as movies are gorgeous on the high resolution screen
If you have highspeed internet on your hd, just show them a youtube vid, again just show them how inadequate the iphone is as a mediaplayer.
MP3-trimmer, cut a song on the fly, save it as a ringtone and then tell them to call you, watch them squirm
I got bejeweled2 on mine, another addictive game.
Virtual pool looks pretty slick.
When they tell you there is this great program which can identify music, just say its shazam and also avaible for winmo, If they don't know then whip it out tell the hd to identify a popular song on the radio or something from another mp3 player.
I also just bought an Touch HD, i used to have the normal Touch for 8 months, was thinking of buying the iphone too, instead after MANY reviews i stayed with HTC and bought me the touch HD.
Things you can show him is the resolution, open opera with a fullsize forum and show how much text you get on your screen.
Multitasking is what an iphone can't do.
Stuff i like on my windows mobile device: MSN, fring/skype (free calling over wifi) i love VNCview for PPC so i can see my desktop PC on my HD, also love the game UNO, also LOVE Funambol ! so i can sync my calendar/notes/contacts,... all to one server and that way to my PC all bidirectional... Funambol is also availeble on iphone but only for syncing contacts because apple wants to make 99 dollar a year on their syncing service... and most of all, i love that i can keep finding settings to adjust my windows mobile device just the way i want it...
what i don't know if this is all possible with a jailbroken iphone... if it is then there isn't any big difference i guess
good luck with the showing off haha

I know these pages full of applications. Which of them are good to, lets say, "show off"...
Thank you all for your suggestions... maybe got some more!?!
!edit: where can i get coreplayer 1.3 from? u know what i mean!?! plz pm
I wouldn't bother with CorePlayer; full-res video doesn't work well enough yet.
Look at the stickied video-encoder thread and create a file for free that plays full-res full-framerate in WMPlayer on the HD. Bear in mind that most people won't understand the difference between this and what the iPhone plays though.
Then read a book at them. I had an iPod Touch and never found any way to read books that wasn't woefully inadequate.
Web pages in landscape, clicking in links without zooming in etc is a great demo.
The Hologram app is pretty cool; do a search around here and you'll find it.
But to be honest all an iPhone owner has to do is show someone Super Monkey Ball, Aqua Forest, Enigmo etc and you've lost. No amount of "But you can't copy-and-paste" is going to bring you back from that one.
just record a video when going in the freeway at 120km/h then show them.
lets see the iphone do that with that quality
Cool! Thank you for all your Replys!
I think this stuff will hunt 'em down...
1. Use Hush SMS and send Ring 0 SMS to an iPhone.
2. Show some real GPS navigation software.
3. Compare list of supported bluetooth profiles on your HD with iPhone.
Use GRemote to control your pc - see here
how about installing ORB on your home pc and you can stream every music and video file to your ppc through wifi, music is even possible over edge.
that way you can have unlimited portable media.
i use it and it works great !

Well, better NOT say this to any iPhone user (hint: Backgrounder http://code.google.com/p/iphone-backgrounder/wiki/Documentation )

Actually, there's an ORB client for the iPhone too.

Yeah, at the gaming (and, of course, the capacitive screen) department, the iPhone is just unbeatable.

Please do NOT ask for warez. Especially not with CorePlayer. Those folks do deserve being paid for their very hard work.
I was out drinking with friends last night and he showed me an app on his iphone(don't know the name) which allows you to swap the heads of people in photos on the phone with each other.
It looked really funny and wondered if anyone knew if there was something similar for windows mobile?
Would also be interested if anyone knows of software like this for WM. Its very funny to see people's faces swapped in a picture!
Just googled it and found iSwap Faces.

Looks like a very cool app.

Hello guys today i found one Application that is very cool also i know that is avalible for Windows Mobile but i can`t find where.
The Application can be even more better and i think the idea of that app is cool and is made for FUN to fool your friends.. so here is what this app can do.
www.ximad.com
The Big Brother app can track your friends by the GSM Number lol.. so when you are with your friends.. you can tell them.. that you know all the time where are they exactly and if they don`t believe you, you can show them its true.
Just type the number of your friend in the APP and lets the Search Beggin.. the Application use real google maps tracking and will show exactly where is your "friend".. but the think that your friend didn`t know is that the application track where are you NOW i mean your Device not his or her number but they don`t have from where to know this, because when you show them that you can trace them they will be close to you... for example in some COffe bar or just on the street WOW
So i think the idea of that Application is very good and maybe some dev can make it to look and work even better for Windows Mobile.. witch some good finger friendly style and nice graphics will be super app for fun.
Hey guys, i'm not that new to this formu but i usually don't post ... call me lazy maybe.
I have been using a HTC Diamon for the last 2 years, and now proud owner of a Desire. Along me, 4 of my best friend have the same devices.
ALL OF THEM expept me have 3G enabled all the time ... WHY ? I mean i work in IT, so i have Internet access all the time (work or home), so why keep 3G and data going all the time ? wifi, bluetooth, and so on ? I mean i have a 24 inch screen in front of me ... why do i need to update twiter from phone? or facebook, or whatever? I use data when i am not at the office ? YES ! Do i turn it off when I am in front of a pc? YES! does my phone outlasts all of my friends phone? YES ...
So besides the fact that Android, doesn't really work as WM, you don;t really need task killers, switchers and all that in my own opinion.
What i would really need would be some productivity, like a good VPN client for example.
If you look at early threads on thif forum, when Diamond was the stuff you wanted, everyone said, (when asked "why don't i have this cool thing that rotates that does nothing but looks nice LIKE ON THE IPHONE ... on my HTC?) that HTC does phone bussiness oriented, HTC and smartphones in general are for ppl that really need emails, vpns, charts, office tools and what ever on the go and that the Iphone is for kids ...? looking here and everywhere else ... somewhere ppl forgot that a phone should enable you to talk to someone ... a PDA is a usefull TOOL ... a tool not an iphone ...
Anyway ... i haven't sleeped in about 16 hours, my English ... sucks sometimes (sorry about that) and i don;t really know what i wanted to say but point is that if you want to save battery ... stop using the F**ing mobile internet while you have a pc in front of you.
What can i say...
Thanks for this long and pointless post.
If you want productivity then stop writing nonsense such as this and find something to do.

Is this available for Android? I saw this on sports center this morning and cant find it in the market. I googled it and it seems it may only be for the Iphone. Any info would be great!

Nope, not yet anyway... seems to be iDevice exclusive, at least for now.
Sprint TV does just this, and its free.

if I recall correctly, the Watch ESPN app is for watching ESPN3 content, which streams a lot more than the ESPN stream on Sprint TV
Watch Espn
It was up for about a week earlier in may (I had it on an atrix), but it appears to have been removed (I had to re-flash, and didn't back it up)... The application was a bit buggy, it would force close when trying to change the channel and the colors would come in off (like watching an old, 1980's style 3-D movie without the glasses), so i'm guessing that they're looking to re-tool it
It looks like it's back. At least this morning it was available for download, but unfortunately I don't meet the qualifying standards to stream anything (Fios, Comcast, etc.)
I hesitate to ask, bc I don't know what XDA considers legit or not anymore, but does anyone have a way to hack this app? If that's illegal, and some of you policing this stuff feel like going nuts on me, hold back, and just say it's not going to be done here.
But, if like the Netflix hacks, the Hulu hacks, the old NFL mobile hack, and every other thing XDA allows that screws a company out there, then jump on this bandwagon, and lets get everyone using this app for free!
I like the idea of this app but like everything else with ESPN you have to talk to your cable service provider... Y not just let me pay for the app and use it What does my cable service have to do with my cell phone... Damn you ESPN
Gonna have to look into this
anyone ever figure this out. It would be great to be able to do this!
