It is call Market Place. A simple search will produce both of the programs you seek
you cant be serious. but use the search function.
but to answer your question. there should be 2 app store apps preloaded on your phone. atleast there was for me because i had the att version. if u go to the programs tab ull see a program called marketplace the otehre app store was for ATT apps. the Microsoft one will be a blue shopping bag with a all white windows symbol on the front. it will downlaod the latest marketplcae version for u if it the first time ur using it.
also there should be a facebook app on ur phone. once again their was for me because i have the ATT version. u can also link your facebook friends profile with your contact list. so their current profile pic will be their contact pic when they call and text u. also on the people tab that pic will show up.
please read the manual,and read xda, and watch youtube vids for all the cool features of the phone. i have done that and just simply figured things out by playing with the phone.
have fun,

Whether the device comes with marketplace or facebook depends on which model variation you have, but you can download the latest version here:

ppersonally I think the Facebook app comes with t-mobile wm6.5 stock ROM sux. I always just use opera mobile to get on touch.Facebook.com and found It much easier and much more Intuitive this way.
Chrome To Phone is a feature of Froyo that works with the Chrome browser (and possibly FireFox) that allows you to send links from your desktop to your Android phone.
Currently, it only seems to work on 2.2 but I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to get it working on 2.1?
I've got the "LinkPush" app, but it doesn't work as well (seems to only work via google talk for me.)
If not, I guess I'll have to wait for a Froyo release that supports the cameras.

most every website has a "share" or "send" button as well as google maps just "share" or "send" it to yourself via email, it takes like almost no time whatsoever...then you can just open the email and follow the link on your phone...

At the risk of being yelled at, I think you are missing the point of the question.
Yes, it's possible now to just email a link to myself or something, but it's a rather cool feature to just _push_ it to the phone, and not have to worry about manually navigating through several other steps in the process.
Having said that, I've heard nothing about 2.1 getting that function, and I think it's probably more of a priority to most people to just get 2.2 versus 2.1 with a few hacked functions of 2.2. However, that's my opinion. Yours may vary.

no i understood the question the fact is that we probably are not going to be seeing that in 2.1 well at least not right now, i mean you never know, and frankly if clicking on a link and adding your email address and then clicking send, then just dragging the notification panel and opening the email link on your phone is too much work for you....then... lol i mean its 5 steps haha
Usually with developers, we look for the way to do it how we want (ex. How he was asking). But I am sure he appreciates the HowTo on sending an email.
On a real note, I actually haven't played around with the feature to much but Ill atleast look into it for you. It's a good idea to suggest things while we wait for the 2.1 official or atleast dealing with the half and halfs of cook-ups

my problem is that not every site has the link, and with google maps it sends you a link to the maps.google.com page. Chrome to phone sends a command to your phone that opens up the map in the google maps application, not the browser, so from there you can navigate and such.
Thanks for looking into it rathfon..
Yeah, I know you can email links back and forth, but that's not really what I'm looking for. Any phone can do that, I'm looking more for Google's Continuous Client idea. Pushing a map link opens in maps, pushing a link to an android app opens it in the market, a browser link in the browser, etc. It's just a better way of doing things that I've wanted for a very long time. I thought of it almost 3 years ago with the first iPhone, but I didn't/don't have the know-how to do it.
LinkPush is working fairly well for me at the moment. It's a small android icon located next to the address bar, just a click of the icon sends a Google Talk message to my phone with the link, or I can open the LinkPush app and it lists the link on the top.
It's not as seamless as Google's method, but it works in 2.1 and below, and it's instant with almost no "work". I guess it's a good compromise for now until we get a working Froyo release.

actually for google maps link when you click on it, it gives you the option to either open it in your browser or the actual map app....if you tried it out you would see. if it doesn't give you the option then go to your internet browser in the applications manager and clear your default, thats probably why it wont ask you to choose a program.
Sounds like a good idea
I like the idea. I guess everyone has moved on to getting Froyo working.
Hello, Newbie to Android world here - receiving my HTC Desire, hopefully, next week.
Just wanted to share some information regarding an application called "LiveProfile" which will soon be released that incorporates BBM for Androids, if im not mistaken.
Anyone heard of it?
Just looked it up and from what I can see its a replacement for bbm. It will work across iPhone, blackberry and android. Basically MSN messenger for phones.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I've been using a BlackBerry for practically 2 years now and I have to say perhaps the only application that has the BB stand out among its rivals is the BlackBerry Messenger - now with LiveProfile, I'm very excited for the upcoming release of this app.
What's the advantage of this over WhatsApp or PingChat? Those are both multi-platform already, and with WhatsApp there's no need for a user name as it uses your phone number, so anyone in your contacts with the application is automatically in your friend list.
Yeah, why another one? ... PingChat is OK.
I know, competition is good.
But for this kind of app, I just want ONE ...
It seems impossible.
Wait until someone created multi of multi IM of multi IM ...
PingChat is a good one.
MJwitter: well, quite frankly, i believe there is one prime advantage over iphone's Whatsapp in terms of privacy. With "whatsapp" you do not necessarily have to have the contact on your list, just as long as he has your number he is able to send you msgs - which a lot of people would find annoying (you could probably ignore them, im not sure, but its a terrible feature initially)
gogol + lukehluke: i have never heard of ping chat before. i'll have to google it. However, as i have mentioned earlier i believe this application is intended to merge bbm, whatsapp and so on all under one roof - again I am uncertain of this information; however, hopefully this turns out to be the advantage of LiveProfile.
Nonetheless, thank you for sharing that information.
I just checked it out; however it seems to display an error when i clicked on "Join Now." Is this application not yet released?
there are quite a few BBM replacements available. They will never connect to BBM Contacts but provide the same functionality.
1. PingChat
2. Cnectd
3. LucidMessenger
4. Pmessenger
those are all i know of atm.
I'll try ping chat on HTC, just as soon as I get it by next week.
I heard about Pmessenger, but the reviews weren't very good.
Is WhatsApp ever coning out for android?, ive tried to convert a few people over to ping chat but they all use whatsapp
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'm confused. Help me. What is the differences between pingchat,whatsapp and IM messenger such ebuddy, fringe, and nimbuzz?
LOL try to be patient, my friend.
Ive been trying to do that for the past 24 hrs too. fortunately, a few ppl installed it.
however,they dont need to "convert" to pingchat, ask them to install it and they could use both ;D

Pingchat and Whatsapp? call themselves 'SMS Replacement' apps. Wherein they act like BBM so you can send a message whether a person is online or offline. These apps can only be used between their respective clients i.e. Pingchat-to-Pingchat, Whatsapp?-to-Whatsapp?
IM clients connect through AIM, MSN, Facebook &c.
Whatsapp Beta works. Google up Whatsapp android beta and youll find a download link on a facebook page. Install it and then you may get authorization error just wait like 1 day and try again and it will work. Been working well cant find any bugs with it yet.
I tried what you said but only info seems to say the beta is only available for people living in san fansisco and whatsapp put the app on your phone from there office?, cant seem to find a download link or apk file, if you have a link can you post it or reply to me with a pm to the link please, thanks.

Ok i found it

It installs fine but doesnt seem to work as you need to register to be a beta tester.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yea like i said install it it will fail just wait and try again tommorow and it will start working. lots of people have reported success after waiting a while
Cool, i'll update in a day or 2 if its working, did you email them to request to be a beta tester or just try it after a few days and it worked without emailing them?

Cool, its started working.
Ok, my quick review - pingchat vs whatsapp
Its alot faster than pingchat in terms of messages being delivered, sometimes pingchat lags a very long time and also pingtchat soelmetimes doesnt give notifications unless you open the app, so whatsapp wins on those two.
But pingchat has a MUCH better look and feet to it, and it works on phone numbers & ID's so you can use either, but whatsapp only works over phone numbers, so unless i have the persons phone number i cant message them on whatsapp, but on pingchat you can just use there id and dont need there phone number so pingchat wins on that.
So both have goods & bads, ping chat is free though which is a plus, if you check in the account info in the whatsapp beta, it says it expires in November 2010, so i asume thats when it goes live in the android marketplace, it also has an upgrade option so it will definatly be a paid app when its released and have a limeted free use period
More people use whatsapp so its better "at the moment", but pingchat has a much better feel to it, so hopfully more people start using pingchat.

Available in Australia. Installed. Now it wants me to install it on my pc as well. Transferring to PC. It will use WiFi. But still cool alternative to WiFiExplorer.
Installed. Works great. Cool Intelligent app. Transferred 83mb video from laptop to galaxy in less than 3mins. Transferred a photo from galaxy to laptop in 1 sec.
Samsung does look aftr the Galaxy users.
I got it a day after I went from Eclair to Froyo so I assume 2.2 only. It uses wifi wo should be fast but I can't get it to work.
Says unsupported appliation
I don't use IE though.
Doesn't support URLs from Google Chrome. Also, no option to send a pdf file from galaxy to laptop. Can only send image/audio/video from galaxy to laptop. So, there is room for improvement.

It doesn't work for me, I was having a lot of issues after updating to 4.2. I also just killed the ROM accidentaly at work
i have it. worked great for me.
Hi,
I tested my own Europe app and yours USA app. Both apps installed ok and worked once few minutes but now both apps are stopping at startup...
Officially these apps are not supported by Navionics for Nexus 7. So I don't know if there is a solution for this problem.
