Google Instant For Android 2.2+ now

Google’s mobile blog released some impressive numbers today in regard to the availability of Google Instant for mobile: the service is now ready for Android 2.2+ and iOS4 devices in 28 different languages and 40 countries.

If you’re a non-US Android (… or iOS) user and want to check availability for your locale, simply go to the Google homepage on your device. If "Instant (beta) is off" appears hit "Turn on", and you’ll be set to go.

Dropbox works a charm for me, depends on how big the files are, but it's certainly convenient.

My poweramp trial ran out last night and I tried to go back to the stock app but it was torture. Had to buy it

I loved the PowerAmp trial

but I don't play music enough on my phone to warrant buying it - I'll stick with cubed

Yeah same.

The player I use is winamp, I just wish it could play FLAC though

Cheers. Isn't Dropbox through the internet? Anyway, I ended up using Estrongs. Works great

Loving this Winamp app. Pretty much the music app I've been waiting for.

Yes it is, that's why I was wondering about file size. For small bits, it's great, and you can get stuff when you're out of the WiFi network.

Right, not sure if i should use this thread for this request, but does anyone know of any decent christmas live wallpapers for 2.1?

Guys, wordfeud, I had to reinstall last night and i've put my email address in but now it says my account name (which I had previously chosen) is taken. I guess it doesn't hold account information open and I have to start again?

You didn't create a Titty Backup of it?

You won't notice the difference between 128kbs encoded mp3's and FLAC on a Desire, which is probably why no-one is bothering to add support for it.

Not exactly what you're looking for but try Falling Snow Live Wallpaper and then pick a Christmassy background of your choice.

Titanium Backup, it's easier to shorten the name to Titty

Gmail app

Is there any way to make the message text smaller in your GMail inbox of the Gmail app?

The text is so big it only allows ~8 messages on screen at once.

For example, rather than

Message 1

Message 2

Message 3

I'd want

Message 1
Message 2
Message 3

Thanks.

I flashed my girlfriend's i5700 to CM-a8 yesterday and it does store account info on wordfeud - put her email address in, then it asked for a password then she logged in and all her existing games popped up in the list

Did you use the right email address? that sounds like you're using a different email
