I am reasonably happy with the Android Facebook app though obviously not as good as the iPhone version but my question is for certain features the app takes me to the basic generic Facebook mobile site but can it be made to go to the touch mobile site which I find far better?
touch.Facebook.com
or x.face........

sorry perhaps did not make myself clear is there any way for android Facebook to go to the touch mobile site by default rather than the generic mobile one?

Hope they make a WP7 App, too, but at least there's an Android App. That will be nice, Lol. Just as I was actually starting to give Spotify a bit of consideration!!!
There's already a WP7 Rdio app.

From Rdio? They don't have it listed on their website. I dint tend to use third party apps for stuff like that...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yep. Just do a search in the Marketplace for Rdio.
And why post this in the wp7 forums if you don't think there is a WP app? There is, btw, published by rdio, btw.

Because if there isn't one, I want one once this launches?
That's pretty simple... Really...
I'd never heard of the service before I read that. That explains my ignorance of their app, and since I tend to use my Vibrant as a daily driver (hence the tag in my post) my HD7 was in another room and I wasn't about to get out of my bed just to check that.
Ok the HTC YouTube has been been update will add changes as soon as I can.
Edit: ok it's been mangofied, more stable, and faster loading. So far that's all I can see.

How and why do people use it? Do you just open it and start looking for videos or what?
I'm not trying to say it doesn't make sense, just being curious - I only use YouTube when I encounter videos on web sites. Am I missing something important?
Yea if that's hat ur looking for.

Mine also updated.
Great news for HTC phones!
Can someone make it clear for me, why isent there a Official Youtube app?
because idiotic google didn't provide MS with the proper APIs needed to make a good YouTube app, they wanted to integrate it in the music+videos hub. to lighten things up a bit that MS YouTube app now opens to the new html5 page which works really well.
For me, supertube FTW,no htc youtube for me...

Really need an area for developers to tell you what an update is for.

Agreed, Lazytube is much better and they're preparing a massive Mango update.
what are the version you all get?Mine is 2.2(build 2119.25260)
As today Facebook app got a new update but I still feel that it's not quite good enough because of very slow speed, old UX& ... (as the app always was)
I'd like to know which app you use for Facebook recently.
I've tried Scope beta for few weeks, love the idea but still buggy and slow.
Thanks for sharing guys!

Same.. I haven't had an issue with it for ages.. It does what it's supposed to do.
I just go to facebook.com, looks just like PC version that way.
Facebook app is fine its smooth and fast no lag for me whatsoever
It takes 10-20 seconds of a black screen before it loads, but after that it works fine.
The problem i have is with its widget, i sometimes get a blank widget or it doesnt update.
Anyone with those issues??
I use flipboard for facebook, I really like the magazine format.
What's up with the Facebook website and Android? The input fields don't allow your dictionary to work and gets all screwy trying to type and backspace. It does this on any browser I've tried.
I just use Android Pro Widgets to use the Facebook and Twitter widgets for feeds, and click through to Facebook occasionally for notifications and IMs. I don't need instant notification about anything related to Facebook.

No issues here with the Facebook app. Loads in less than 2 seconds. Now on my phones it is a different story. They haven't ran it right in a year or so.
No problems here, more speed is needed with all apps to support Nexus 7 Quadcore CPU

There is a reason Facebook is working on a native app for Android and already did for iOS. Our current app is an HTML5 based slow piece of trash..,

I deleted facebook app ,using default cm10 browser is much faster..on a 20mbt internet i wait for 4-5 seconds and more for a 50kb picture to show,that app after 1000 updates is still bad joke.I left app only on my phone because of push notificafions but i dont use it.

Friend caster is pretty nice. Dual panel layout and everything. One problem with the official Facebook app is that it took so long for it to start up like 20 seconds for a black screen then another ten on the splash screen. Completely ridiculous. I heard they forced their employees to use android phones instead of I phones just to make them feel the crap they made for android.

The CNN app for android tablet is not compatible with the N7. I found an apk in the Viewsonic G Tablet thread but I'm not sure what version it is and that info doesn't seem available in the app either. Here's the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13048857&postcount=9
Does anyone have a current version to share?
Thanks!

Want this bad!! its crazy- cnn for phone isn't compatible either,what are they thinking I mean the nexus 7 is the most popular android tablet (with market) and they have no support for it.
also the economist app has the same issue.
I had emailed them about this months ago and this is the response I finally got:
"Greetings,
Thanks for contacting CNN! We appreciate you taking the time to send in your suggestion for the CNN app. I will put this suggestion into our mobile development team for consideration.

It has never been made available for the N7. LOL
That email was sent on September 11th.

I don't mean to sound overly critical but... why not just use RSS? Ever since Google Reader, I no longer understand why anybody would prefer to manually open each website to check for news, when Reader does that for you...

This is actually a far better idea: I tried side-loading the CNN app off of my Galaxy SIII and it looks terrible. You're better off reading the articles on the Web through Chrome or through an RSS reader such as Paper.

There is a cnn money tablet version that does feature news(can configure what news you get. Albeit it's a bit more focused to the financial side but delves into other news topics.

I was able to send myself the CNN apk with myappsharer (free in the play store) and install it on the N7 that way. Works fine.
