That really does look good and I want it now! Could have loads of fun on the train with that :D

From your link:
@SFledz The audio latency on Android devices is too high - around the order of 100ms compared to the iPhone's 10ms. Until they sort this out, it's not going to happen - which is a shame, because NanoStudio is written to be cross platform.

@SFledz Hopefully they'll get there with it, I get a lot of requests for this. NanoStudio isn't too Apple-specific so although a port would still be a fair amount of work, it would be definitely possible.

It's a killer app IMO, v1.1 came out last week and have a few new handy features.

That latency thing is a pain, I think 100ms would be pretty unusable.

I think I'll hold off buying that San Francisco phone for now then, I do use Nanostudio quite a bit now and couldn't do without it really.

It's good that it isn't very Apple specific, in fact I think that an Android version may be better due to less restrictions.

Getting samples from my PC to me iPod right now can be a bit of a headache right now because of Apples restrictions...

A version of the iRig would be awesome!

I think the latency issue may mean that this may be off the cards for Android also. :(

needs the developer to enable a setting so some apps including widgets and i think live wallpapers won't move to sdcard.

Must admit the number of apps it has moved and I selected move all was minimal.

I suppose as apps update - eventually all will be moved to sd card.

Time for a bigger sd card then
 
Funny jokes is a decent app - on android market and its FREE

Although some joke categories are way funnier than others - blonde jokes still make me laugh
 
Installed Car Home and I can't see it in the app menu for some reason.

Running DeFrost 5.1.

Anyone else have a problem?

Great idea but I've found vlingo to get every word in a sentence wrong

Really? I'm very surprised. I found it to get everything spot-on, including punctuation, long words and the occasional burst of swearing.

It's only when I've had too much gin that it seems to refuse to work, which is probably some sort of built-in safety device.
 
Vlingo works fine with my super fine Southern accent, maybe you Midlands folk have crap accents and so on :p
 
TweetDeck just hit Market and wow, I have to say I love it.

Clicking on a response on the "Me" column (which is basically Facebook notifications) still launches touch.facebook.com (by the way do other find that the touch.facebook.com gets diverted to full Facebook site?! It's so annoying even though by browser setting is set to load mobile version of sites).

The only other issue is it appears taking photos uploads them to a server and links them, rather than uploading but I suppose I can use the Facebook for HTC Sense service to do that via the phones Gallery.

So in short, great app but will be amazing if they:
  • Add better widgets, one with the functionality of the social widget of LauncherPro
  • Allowed direct image upload
  • Allow notification clicks to load the post/picture or what ever it is in the application
  • Added a setting for 4 hour update

Also, if you try to update your location on FB/Twitter (Foursquare works ok) then it just posts the comment, not the location.
