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

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.

Mission impossible

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....

Pay them to promote their brand? Free advertising? Sounds like the illuminati to me!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

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

My friend works in a cubicle jungle and I think its great they use Dunder Mifflin brand paper.
Product placement in movies, I keep thinking of that scene in Wayne's world:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAjXYfTtGas&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Great clip, let's not forget Talladega nights there was some hardcore placement going on there.

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,

Temple Run is live.

We can finally welcome another iOS game and Samsung the little guys.

Haha, yeah I've been waiting for this game to get ported for a while now. There's still a few more that I hope to see. I hate hearing the whole "play me at this game" ... searching... searching... Android doesn't have it. "Guess you should have got an iPhone" argument. Despite some of the crappy reviews I'm seeing, it's playing damn smooth for me. And you can't beat free with no ads (yet?)

Was looking forward to this
But with ics near, it's the least of my concerns atm.
Although I could play to kill the time.

Now I can finally compete with my iphone friends ;D
And boy does it run smooth on our phone haha

That's about the only thing apple has over Android..the vast selection of quality games. We're starting to slowly get em but it's undeniable the games are lacking on. Android. I'd love to play gta 3 and ufc on my gs2's larger screen oppose to tiny iPod touch.

we do have GTA 3

I've been counting down the days for this to come out. I've been playing it lately on my old iPad, but the tilting it around just sucks (especially with that slippery aluminium backing!)
I teetered just shy of a million points on the iOS version, now I need to prove to my friend the tilting is what was holding me back.
I've since put my iPad away since I can rock it on my Android devices!

Drool....DROOOL!!!!!

Eh never cared much for that game.

But those were just 2 that came to mind...there so many games that I'd love to have on Android fromiPod touch. Hell if Android made decent mp3 player other than the non expandable Samsung one or freaking 5 in one I wouldn't even got iPod touch.

This game is as awesome as it looks, looks even better on my GS2 , quick question though, for some reason when I'm on games if I don't touch the screen it auto locks as if the app isn't running, some apps like benchmark apps it doesn't do this but games like temple run and nfs it does, any reason why and maybe a solution? Thanks.

Yeah, it doesn't keep the screen on. I guess that'd be another permission people would cry foul about.

There's no concrete release date yet but have you signed up to be notified first? I did. I honestly don't know what it's all about but my girlfriend is going crazy over it. Lol. I suspect it will be out within a week or two.

Finally. Been playing since it came out.

Love this game!

all share

Has anyone used the all share video playback thing I was thinking to buy one was going to get it for 50 bucks half off
If so does it work for all video displayed on the phone like Hulu Netflix YouTube I was thinking of using it for my replacement Boxee tv/roku thank you for any info you guys have
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

personally I dont like it at all, the smart dock is better. but both suffer from a less then 60 fps to a nerds eye. Most people wont see the fps problem though but it bugs the crap out of me, so much that I tryed both and returned both.

Thanks for the help I'm glad posted this did not know it was less than 60 frames definitely not something I wanna replace for TV watching so how about the MHL 11pin dose that do full 60 frames thanks for the info glad I didn't waste the money on the all share

Anyone running the Gear VR?

Have been thinking about grabbing a Gear VR headset. Has Sprint made the necessary firmware upgrades for it to work?
Has anyone used it? What do you think?
P.S. One if the things that annoys me the most about Sprint is that no one ever has any idea about an ETA for products in the pipeline. Sprint is supposed to offer the Gear VR but good luck getting a clue from anyone at Sprint when that will be. You want a laugh, mention Gear VR to anyone in a Sprint store. They will look at you like you just asked about life on Venus.

Does it really feel like you are "there" or more like watching a big screen TV? How much of your field of vision is used? Would love to have one of these for my 82 year old mother so she could "travel the world" from her Lazyboy.

It truly makes you feel like your in a concert, game, moon and movie theater. When you look straight ahead you have a 96-degree field of view (per samsung site) but you feel like your truly there. Full 360 degree views, when I have my headphones on I forget I'm not on a Rollercoaster or diving in the ocean. I had my wife play with the dreaded halls game and she was screaming and even threw the controller across the room because it scared the crap out of her lucky our son wasn't hit lol. I also had my mom try them she is legally blind and she was very skeptical that she would be able to see and use it. She ended up playing with it for 2+ hrs.... and now my wife and mom want one.
