You can change user agent on Dolphin 5 quite easily. Settings > dolphin settings > user agent.
Have you been noticing it takes a really long time to upload, I was thinking about it on the way in this morning and iirc they re-encode it so I'm guessing that's done on the pc pre-upload which kinda makes sense and would explain the speed,
Or I'm just too used to the download rate and not really tested my upload so finding out how much slower it is
Started mine after work yesterday evening (around 18:30 iirc) and left it on overnight and it was on 745 songs out of 4200 ish at 5:40 ish when I was getting ready to leave...
On to the actual streaming, tried it on GPRS last night (speedtest put me at around 20-30kbps due to living in the middle of nowhere), just started it going on 'H' at work and after a bit of a delay (compared to WiFi) it started playing fairly fast and within 1 minute the 5:51 song was completely buffered apparantly, and I read last night that it then goes on to start buffering the next track or two after that so very usable

My PC upload took around 13 hours.
Talk about slow but the stream does look good and usable. I will be playing with this today.Looks good on the 10.1 although some album art is missing.

Is there an app that will sync my Outlook tasks to my phone without having to use Gmail or any third party sign ups etc?
I use Outlook for everything and it currently syncs to my phone via Exchange which is great for my contacts and calendar. However it doesn't do Tasks! I've found a few but they all seem to sync to Gmail or some other website first.

Yeah, mine's still going, looking like it'll be around 3 days
for all of it, currently at 1281 tracks, It'll get there in the end Been using the pc/web-page player during the day, it's really nice have 'all' my music (the stuff so far at least) readily available, before this I'd chucked a small amount of my music onto the work pc via memory stick but nowhere near all of it so some nice variety now
For the noLed notifications to work, do i HAVE to have the little app/icon on my homes screen, or can it be on any screen, have the little red square notification in the top left of the screen, I take it thats enough to know it "on"?

Jeez, i've got around 45k tracks! I think i'll pass on that. What is it that its actually doing? Just uploading the files to the cloud? or transncoding them aswell?
I could be mistaken but I believe it is transcoding them to lower quality mp3's (iirc around 256kbps?) but not 100% sure on that, and it may be doing that on Google's servers, I'm not really sure and it doesn't exactly give much information...
I can check cpu load whilst doing it later on thinking about it
And then obviously uploading them, my connection is ~0.8mbps generally so not amazing, the program does seem quite well suited to just limiting the upload and getting it to start up with the pc and letting it do it's stuff over a fairly long time, I've just left it unlimited and the pc on,
Note though that even at the beta stage it can 'only' do 20k tracks, 45k is madness

Khaaan, is there a way to stop boat viewing eBay and Facebook as mobile sites? can't see any obvious way to do it...
about:useragent
You have to do that every time the browser is fully closed and opened though, the setting reverts to Android from Desktop each time in the stock browser.
Boat Browser sticks with whatever you set. Dolphin HD has no option I could see to change user agent, same with Firefox.

Nice one, thanks man
As stated on previous page, it is in settings > dolphin settings > user agent.
My bad, I had a look specifically for it yesterday evening!
Either way, Scrolling content heavy pages is smoother on Boat.

Dolphin has just updated and looks a lot nicer now, cleaner and lighter, I like it more now.
