Use The Force-I mean The Android, Luke

Comments Off

With Google's mysterious event happening today, we have all been impatiently waiting to find out what is coming from our dear friends. I have read many speculations of what they will be unveiling, the most plausible in my opinion is Adobe Flash applications. It makes a lot of sense now that the Froyo is officially launched and moving towards more devices. On a serious note though. How can you not love this Adobe AIR Flash application build by Christopher Caleb. An authentic X-Wing targeting system from star wars as your GPS. Of course, you lose all the frills like POI and an ...

How To: Keep Your Droid Incredible Videos in MP4 Format for Better Compatibilty

by Stormy Beach on 10th Aug 2010 -
Comments Off

XDA member scuccia has created a small file apk that you can install to your DROID Incredible that will keep the video in mp4 format. As it sits currently, your device will take the video in mp4 but then converts and saves it in a 3gp format. This format can limit your playability across multiple platforms, such as a PS3 media server. This will also save you from having to find a PC based program to convert the file into a format that other devices can support. As I'm sure you are all aware, multiple conversions to different file formats result in ...
