You know moTweets right?
The super cheap Twitter client (only US$3.99) that Panoramic Software developed.
It has a very nice GUI like iPhone, got complete and perfectly-working feature as well.
And this morning I asked Panoramic to develop Facebook application as well, since there is no single good/decent Facebook application for WinMo yet.
Even the M$' Facebook app is suck and not working right. It even can't fetch the stream by itself, need manual refresh.
The other simply used the cropped version (mobile version) of NewsFeed, not the complete one like BlackBerry's.
I asked them to make Facebook application for WinMo with nice GUI like moTweets and the functionality like Facebook for BlackBerry.
And here's their answer to my idea (we had conversation via Twitter) @PanoramicSoft: "We will definitely consider creating a Facebook app for WinMo. Thanks."
So, just tweet them and give them a vote.
They're surveying whether they need to develop this app or not.
Don't vote here, just send a tweet to @PanoramicSoft or email them at [email protected].
I'm not Panoramic's affiliate. I'm just the satisfied customer that use their moTweets application. And I want to share the idea here so if you all want a good/decent Facebook app, this is the solution.
Or, as I put in the other thread where you mentioned this, use the Microsoft developed Facebook client.

Yup, but that program is a dead program, no further development (stuck in 1.0.0.7p for long time), very slow, can't even do simple basic task (live news feed like the Blackberry's), can't fetch notification, and so many more bugs that rendering it useless...
Up you go! Be the first post in Dev&Hack...
yeah. MS has a crappy client for facebook. half the time I dont get my messages or even look at my profile.
What is it with microsoft. I thought thay paid a **** load for facebook and thay can't make a good app. Saw the new one on my mates I-phone the other day and it was cool.So I'm up for this.
Yeah, that's why, I suggest Panoramic Soft to make one with great interface like moTweets.
They're taking votes now, so just drop an email to [email protected] or tweet them via twitter: @PanoramicSoft
Coz I'm not Panoramic's people. I'm just their satisfied customer. ^^
If the vote is sufficient, They'll start developing the app for Facebook.
Up! Up! Up! Make this post to the first page. Let peoples know about this..
bump/.......
sent an email..
Yupz... Just need a vote to make them start developing the Facebook apps.
And I think peoples in XDA-Devs not really interested in Facebook.
No response from XDA-Devs peoples.. Only one or two peoples interested...

Yup, please help me forwarding this. I'm currently sending an email to all my Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and all of the forum I'm currently in.
Thanks for the support.. Hope that we can get a decent Facebook apps.
Im in the same boat as you all guys. WM needs a good Facebook apps. The one from MS sucks!
Not only sucks, the one from MS isn't counted as an app at all for me.. I even uninstall it after first use.. It even lack basic auto-refresh feature, not to mention about live-feed... I think that MS' programmers can't even make live-feed feature for Facebook app... Or maybe they don't know how to utilize Facebook's API..
you know ever since I started using Mini5 i kinda fell off the boat as far as using facebook goes. My facebook is sync'd to my yahoo account which I'm using push for. My favorites(which opera mini has that looks like google chrome) has iphone facebook account page saved which has a very slick and usable UI. So its really just one push of the button from the internet. I dunno...if I were to want anything it would be more like the X1's facebook panel which is really nice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAtiCEE3hDQ and I actually liked it back when i was running the panels on my HD.
No need to copy innovation when you can port it.
you could go to x.facebook.com in opera mobile, works perfectly on my touch pro, but i agree, an app would be nice, especially if its like the xperia one, i sent a request to them.

I wonder if there are IM applications working on Streak.
I am mostly interested in Live Messenger and Google Talk.
Are there any native applications for these networks ?
If not, what are the suggested apps for both IM networks.
I'd prefer to use apps which are officially supported by either the IM network or Dell.
Thanks.
there's tons that work, doubt any are supports or endorsed though.
Personally I settled on nimbus as it does all the networks I use..
well, thanks. But isn't there even any google talk client ?
As Android is google's OS, I'd think we should have Gtalk natively.
And I dislike all-in-one IM clients.

yes there is gtalk..
it should be built in..
have a look through the marketplace to find what you need.
FRING
Use Fring, this provides both MSN and Gtalk and many more. It also offers free video talks for Fring users.
thanks forthe fring suggestion.
but does it route all IMs through their own server ?
if yes, I don't want that.
I personally use meebo as I haven't had much trouble with it at all. It supports multi client too such as msn, yahoo and aim. I have also used fring it was great as I can video call using skype but now since skype removed there service from fring I haven't used it.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
but really, for fring and meebo, can you say that they directly send IM to the original network and not route them over their own proxy ?
Google talk is installed as default

You can't, and probably never will be able to, now Microsoft have bought Skype.
That sawks, why did i bought a ePad if this cam is useless
Don't u think any developer gonna do something wit it? debugging the skype system file?
It's not useless. Lots of other apps use the camera. The whole world doesnt revolve around Skype you know. Have a search.
Yes, is true.But all of my contacts use mostly skype to communicate with each other
Btw,Gtalk work with cam? for Asus ePad.
Of course.

Actually, there is a beta Skype for Android with video. I don'tshare your opinion that Microsoft will kill any enhancements for Skype. Incidentally, th y do have a Bing app that is quite good.
If nothing else, MS buying Skype will give Skype a lot of resurces that they did not have. The N900 has had Skype video for over a year and the ANdroid beta is pretty much based on that Maemo one.
The best thing about the MS/Skype is that you will see conferencing and othe rgoodies in Outlook, Office and many other products.
Ah well that's up to you, but it makes perfect business sense for MS to use it as a selling point for their own WP7 handsets, so i highly doubt it will ever see a full release on android. Yes you're right though, there was a beta out ages ago for it. Anyway... time will tell... we shall see.

Is there an alternative Android with Windows App video call over wifi for TF?
Skype is so slow to put their stuff on mobile devices is unbelievable.
Here's a video to make us go nuts.

Google Talk!

The only video calling app under the sun that works for all of Android, iPhone, and Desktop right now is Yahoo Video Chat. That is it, all nada.
All other apps only work with some combination of 2 or 3 of the above, or are voice only.
Android has never been a priority for Skype, for god only knows what reason. They would rather develop for IOS even though it has fewer devices, even though they distribute their app for free.
How about ooVoo?

This isn't entirely true. You can use Google Talk's Video Chat on all three, but on iOS devices and earlier Android versions (pre-GB) you have to use a third party app called Vtok. Not perfect, but it works. I should admit that I don't use video chat really ever, so I can't comment on the quality, etc

Google Talk's video chat does not work on the desktop unless the person you are trying to call just happens to magically be logged into GMail. This is because their desktop app for whatever crazy reason does not have video chat support, only GMail does.
Can you tell I am frustrated? The thing that gets my goat so much is that MSN Messenger is one of the most widely used video chat apps in the world, that is what everyone I know runs and uses - yet they have NEVER made an Android or iPhone video chat client in the past 4 years. Heck they don't even have one for Windows Mobile or Windows Phone 7! And people wonder why Microsoft is always lagging behind - they don't even know how to keep up with the mobile marketplace.
Again, from my experience the only widely used one that works on all 3 is yahoo chat. oooVoo has clients but I honestly have never tried it because trying to find others with an ooVoo account is like finding a needle in a haystack.

And in order to initiate video chat via Skype with someone on the desktop, you have to magically install a bloated Skype client application, open it, and hope that Skype isn't currently down.
I don't understand your complaint. Using Gmail as your primary client for instant messaging/voice chat/video chat on the desktop means you don't have to install any extra applications, and their service is way more reliable than Skype. And if you don't want to be stuck with having to manually log into Gmail every time you open your browser, you can set the browser to automatically open Gmail and log you in. It's no different from any other set of chat protocols, it's just been engineered to live inside the browser so that Google wouldn't have to write a separate application for each operating system. This is why Google abandoned further development on the official Google Talk client; it's just unnecessary when the browser is capable of the same thing.
You know what else makes Gmail better than anything else? As long as you're on a desktop computer, you get free outgoing calls to anywhere in the United States.

Er....
Typically, if a bunch of people you know like to be able to video call each-other, they will all have an application installed. If Skype is installed it sits in the tray, always. A contact can initiate a call with you any time.
With GTalk, they'd have to open a chat session, and get you to go to gmail, etc etc. It really is very sub-optimal. I don't know why Google has not added video to their desktop client, there have been bugs for it for YEARS now.
The browser is great for a lot of things, but one of the things it can't currently do properly is run background daemon-type applications that should be available 24/7, such as a messenger client.

I do use GMail for this as well, but this is a total side conversation and really has nothing to do with the task at hand. As well, this is another feature that should be in the desktop client.
Hello everyone... First off all, i AM not an expert on the english language. Sorry for the mistakes you WILL find
I am an Ubuntu fan. I like to have it on my phone, but the lack of apps scare me off.
I think if we have a list of the situation of the most used apps, it will help people to decide for ubuntu. (I was searching on google , and can't find anything.)
I will name some android apps or services here, and if anyone has idea of the status of the app itself or a similar or substitute... It will help A LOT.
Google maps.
Google keep
Google contacts sync.
Skype
Facebbok, twitter, and other social apps
Instagram
Whatsapp(or similar- I read something about a "who's there"app)
Viber
GreenPower (or juice defender)
Gmail and email.
An eBook and pdf reader
RSS reader, (like Google currents)
Some office apps (to open the archives I receive by email)
Video and music players
A good Web browser ( Brazilian internet service really sucks!!)
These are the things I use most often on my Galaxy Nexus.
Some are not necessary but I like to have it,
So, if you guy can "update" the status of these apps, I will really appreciate it.
Thank you and sorry for the English
Hi,
I've always used Hangouts for video chat with my family abroad. The main reason being I like how I can use my phone or desktop computer to do the video chat. But, as you know, Google has been going haywire with various messaging apps, such as allo duo, etc., and hangouts is going away. I'm just wondering what everyone is using for video chat, especially if you are using something that can also be used on a Windows desktop computer. Please share.
Skype can do both phone and desktop. I don't use it often though.
Google Duo seems pretty decent. It works on Android, iOS and there's a web app available which you can use if you want to use a computer. I've only tried it from my phone a few times and it seemed to work well.
