I'm just wondering if there's a way to watch the rentals on a tv or computer.. I just don't see the point in spending 3.99 to rent a movie limited to 4 inches of screen...

You already get the point. You just don't like the price.
Yep I agree about the price rent movies for $1 from redbox so why should we pay 400% more on, our phones.

Only good thing about it was the free fifty dollars. Other than that it's worthless

My free 50 dollars expired a few days ago. I made a hlf ased attemp at parusing for a few flicks to d/l before it expired, but the movies hadn't changed at all since november.

Pick up an apple TV 2 for 99 bones. Jailbreak it add xbmc and there are plugins which will give you access to more than either can offer at $0 per month. Google is your friend.

Only for 2nd generation? Not the newest ones?

I believe #2 is the newest. The 3rd Gen not out yet. Seas0npass the the jb to use. iOS 4.3 is what you want. Got mine off amazon and came with 4.3 installed. Another option is search eBay. They are selling them pre set up for around 139. Best part is they did all the work for you.

I can do the jailbreak stuff myself assuming I can downgrade if it comes with a higher version. So I'd be able to stream hulu and movies off the internet with plugins for free? Count me in

Hulu is ad central. I'm going to say Netflix wins here.
Netflix runs in every room in my house
Hmmm interesting
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'd say netflix as hulu is too jam packed with ads for the same amount cost of netflix. Wish I could get the two combined into one minus the ads.
I have hulu but cant stand paying for adds plus their website is a jungle going with netflix all the way

I had to make a choise the other day because I never used both before....
For me it came down to which has the most device support including our phone which has HDMI out to a TV and of course...
Netflix wins in this area....
So long story short....
Netflix...
I have both, when hulu plus works it works great! But the problem is getting it to work (outside of the computer, the LG tv app of Hulu plus has never worked and whenever my ps3 gets an update Hulu plus never seems to work).
Try Hulu plus out, google free month trial hulu plus and they will let you test it for a month free of charge (currently that's where I'm at and I probably won't renew it because of all the issues on ps3/LG tv).

For those looking for other options. This option would require an apple TV in each room you wanted the service but it is a small investment considering you would be able to get rid of all other services including cable or dtv. This would also include getting rid of services like vudu. Enjoy my fellow xda members.
If life was like a box of chocolates wouldn't there be a layout on the inside of the box telling you which are the good ones? Until then use Google.

I use both. Netflix, if it has it, is ad free. But hulu has all the new stuff. If you want first run programming, Hulu is the way to go. If you want movies and archived shows, Netflix.
anyone wanna share a login for my birthday? haha jk. thanks for the input guys but cash flow is not permanent for me

Roku supports plug ins out of the box. Plus it is cheaper for lower models. Also there seems to be sales on Roku on a regular basis. Lower models are not bad though.
I saw the new mission impossible I max movie today, excellent movie except for one detail , all the agents had I phones, Mac notebooks , and even used a I pad to peek around a corner ,and they made sure you saw the apple logos . I don't know why it bothered me ....... yes I do....

Director is obviously a fanboy, or like poppygt said, Apple paid them or gave the studios free products to feature their brand in the movie.
Ill personally boycott the movie.
It's called product placement and they have to pay for it. Kind of like sneeking a commercial into a movie.

Well...Which android you wanted to see? Eclaire,Foyo,GB,ICS? Have you seen the recent horrible videos of ICS on International SGS2? If I were to decide I would have suggested using IOS in that movie too. Unless Google puts their foot down and controls how much hardware manufacturer can control Android, its going to happen. What did they do with Nexus!!! when everyone is going with 8MB Camera, Google's phone reduces it to 5MB. No wonder Steve Jobs always defeated these guys, even after all these years, they still do not learn.I hate IOS and I think I will always have to stay with the #2 phone OS, because for an other 10 years , I do not see android officially becoming numero uno.
Where has OP been for the past 10 years?
Product placement is all over the place, do you think people drink coke or pepsi in a movie instead of "cola" by chance? It is just a way for Apple to advertise, this is done in TV shows too, just look at "The Office" with HP.
Thanks... not even going to watch it then

Product placement in movies, I keep thinking of that scene in Wayne's world:

Bwahaha I am kind of feeling the same way about not wanting to watch it now!
Why wouldn't you watch a good movie just because they decided to use apple products? That's just silly fanboyism.
To be fair, being anti-Apple is not really fanboyism anymore. Apple is being seriously anti-competitive and attempting to control markets for their products by illegitimately suing others out of said markets. By supporting Apple, you're supporting a horrible way to do business.
That said, I'm still going to see it. Do the phones self destruct after giving the IMF people assignments? Or is that left to a few 1st gen ipod nanos?

everyone must pay if you use their brand and its a focus point . same with , HP , Dell or anyone
But anyways just like the other user said, Google need to take control over their hardware and what the other OEMs do to it. Its so many versions of Android , so many low budget devices. Motorola kills Android in a bad way,

This is it in a nutshell. Did media content providers not learn ANYTHING from Steve Jobs? Make digital media easy to obtain, and people will pay for it. Make it difficult, and people will obtain it via "other" means. This decision is short-sighted and ignorant in my book.

I been searching for.some time now for any educational apps for my 18 months son with little luck.
Most apps are geared towards older children,not to mention not too many have child lock on them to prevent children from hitting capacitive buttons.Seem like all good children's apps or on ipad/iPhone and I won't to avoid this option if I can help it.
Anyone know of any good apps?
Here are few apps that I have so far that are usefull and not too complicated for children that are 1-3 years old.
1 Toddle Animal Numbers (Probably the best one,its educational and its free)
2 Undersea Adventure for Toddler (Not really educational but a fun and simple game,and its free)
3 Kids Doodle Paint (Best thing about this is that it has child's lock built in,so you can go to sleep while they draw and not have to worry about them turning it off,this one is free too)
And that's about it,yeah I know that's a damn shame.Rest that I tried is to complex.

Also, there are lots of interactive books by people like "Oceanhouse media" (the book reads and the child interacts with the page.)
This is a good thread, I have an app called "kid mode" that has a lot of stuff in it, my 18 mo old daughter likes it.

They are toddlers...
They can take your iPad, S3 or whatever you have before you blink. So its better find them with the phone in theirs hands than see your gadgets on the toilet or trash can because they got bored.
Thats why also I have a Otter Defender.

If I had kids I would. Getting them a grasp of new things at an early age is important and most useful for the future. Smartphones are only materialistic items so I wouldn't care really unless they're looking at things they aren't supposed too.

Kids Connect the Dots Lite
Thomas Game Pack

And here is the toddler lock I used to use before he really knew how to handle a phone.
Toddler Lock
When my daughter was 18 months old she liked learning animal sounds, She particularly liked the cat on this one Toddler Animal Sounds by Bluphant Games, They also do a paid for version which has a child lock built in it.
Now she's 3 however it's Peppa Pig all the way!
