Old news maybe but Adobe Reader is probably the best PDF application on Android. Miles better than Beamreader and the like. The reflow view is just brilliant and makes reading PDFs so much easier and readable. However they need to pull their finger out and make a Go To Page feature. How they left this basic feature out is beyond me.

Not sure. I only installed it recently for the first time. It's a little basic; doesn't have bookmarks etc.. but to me the biggest feature is definitely the reflow view (don't know if this a recent addition or not) which is basically kind of a word wrap like you get on Notepad. On such as small device, you can read easily without scrolling horizontally or pinch zooming in/out all the time. It does this by splitting a 1 single page into multiple pages for example. All you do is navigate with the arrows for next or prev page and also allows you to change the text size. You can also revert back to text mode or whatever the default mode is.
I've tried Beamreader and PDF Viewer(?) (both don't have a feature like this) which I find fiddly to use.

Just been testing Xscope 6, seems the best alternative to stock browser out there. Mildly impressed!

Cheers, is it worth the $3?

Oh yeah, anyone figured out how to watch 4OD on any browser yet? That damn pop up disclaimer is hidden behind the video and whatever I do I just cant select the play link :(

On a similar note I've just discovered video.uk.msn.com :o wow the video is butter smooth over 3G. So many classics to get through... Watching Bottom during that Monday morning commute is killer :cool:

Flash has made accessing video content so easy now, no more 'this video is not available on mobile' rubbish :)

Worth trying I reckon, it'll only improve as it's recoded from scratch. You can get it refunded in the market if you don't like.
