I still wish there was a better market/developer/download management, period :) So many things missing or broke - top daily/weekly/monthly - they don't even change the app image advertisements at the top, developers have little control for version management - neither do users. You have to release separate apps for "lite" and "full" versions, spamming the market... along with spam apps...

yeah, my number one want is an 'Update All'
- Christian Cable
+1 for "Update All" in the Market. With an extra security feature that held back updates for any app where access permissions had changed, and allowed manual authorization for those.

"Evernote -- the uber-popular note-taking application on Windows, Mac, BlackBerry, the Palm Pre and, of course, the iPhone and iPod Touch -- is now available on Android."

from Bookmarklet
Note: If you were using the pre-release beta version that wasn't available on the Marketplace, you might want to uninstall it first, or you'll get an error message about a badly signed package on the DROID
- LANjackal
Maybe the issue's unique to the DROID/Android 2.0.1 then
- LANjackal
from IM
Nice to see Evernote becoming available in as many devices as there could possibly be...
- TrafficBug
Does it still suck? The last version of the Beta I used had no local note sync'ing, no one-touch voice note taking (handy while driving). It was a glorified, less functional, more bothersome PixelPipe (which does a better job of dumping things into Evernote)
- Matthew DeVries
+1 Matthew, the Beta was nothing short of awful
- LANjackal
Just checked. Still sucks metric assloads. No local sync'ing. Makes it pretty much useless. It's just an uploader, which as I said, PixelPipe does better and easier.

"We're at a critical juncture in the evolution of software. The web is still here and it is still strong. Anyone can still put any information or applications on a web server without asking for permission, and anyone in the world can still access it just by typing a URL. I don't think I appreciated how important that is until recently. Nobody designs new systems like that anymore, or at least few of them succeed. What an incredible stroke of luck the web was, and what a shame it would be to let that freedom slip away. I do not wish to fight any mobile device makers who want to create a software ecosystem and act as the gatekeepers for that ecosystem. What I do want to fight for is the viability of the mobile web. Developers are rushing to create native apps, meanwhile letting their mobile web apps atrophy (I have certainly been guilty of that myself). Web technology is still relatively weak, and improving slowly. At this pace, what will the mobile web look like in 10 years? Will we...

But will Facebook stop working on iPhone apps just because of this? No. Neither will Google. Unfortunately, the big companies that have the clout to do something will not stand up for developer's rights, as long as the consumer insists on buying the iPhone and other such locked down devices.
- Piaw Na
In fairness to Google they are fighting for openness in the one conduit they control which is Android. Its asking a lot to expect them to completely boycott iPhone which would be their only other leverage with Apple.
- Ed Millard
Well, then I should expect Facebook to support Android, as well as all the other companies that have the resources to do so. :-)
- Piaw Na
Piaw, are you saying that facebook isn't supporting android? last i checked there was a facebook android app -- plus, this is just one guy's opinions, he does not speak for facebook (as far as i can tell)
- Chris Heath
Piaw, I'd imagine that Apple's non-approval of several Google apps has prompted Google to devote more resources to making superb Android apps (and yes, apps for the Pre and Blackberry) than iPhone. Where it really hurts is apps that have a hardware component. I don't know many/any developers willing to make consumer apps for the iPhone that require a hardware component because the rist...

I imagine Facebook is putting their resources in the ports their user base is demanding. The number of users they have on iPhone demands attention, and shorting it for reasons that are somewhat political probably isn't wise. With the growing popularity of Android it will probably warrant increased resources. Kind of sounds like Joe would rather make the web app work better and that would be more platform agnostic though its pretty hard to do a really exceptional mobile experience through a browser.
- Ed Millard
Is there a FB ad on Android? I switched from Android back to Blackberry earlier this year, but I definitely remember that there was no Android app before I switched.
- Piaw Na
I guess he's got his heart in the right place, but I can't get too worked up about this issue, not coming from the console game work, where all the platforms are locked down and always have been.
- Andrew C
from Android
I've never seen a major-label game be blocked from publication on a major platform for ambiguous and arbitrary reasons. Imagine if Modern Warfare 2 requires a patch to fix a hack and Microsoft decided to disallow it because they've decided that they don't want warfare scenes that take place within the United States? That's a fairer comparison.
- Kevin Fox
I have heard a few horror stories of games being rejected, or at least delayed, because the console manufacturer in question had its own strategic reasons for doing so (because they had a similar in-house game coming out, or because they thought there were too many similar games coming out at once). Not quite the same thing, but still a pretty dangerous situation if you're the developer.
- Joel Webber
Console platforms have a limited life (try playing the PS games on the PS3). Phone OS, however, look like they'll be around for the long term.
- Piaw Na
Joel, those reasons aren't ambiguous nor are they arbitrary.
- Chris Heath
They may not be literally arbitrary, but they are still opaque to the developer, and not in the developer's best interest. Not precisely the same thing (and probably less common), but close enough to bear mentioning.
- Joel Webber
Piaw, dude, you switched from Android to Blackberry? You are a man who loves outdated tools :)
- j1m
The switch was entirely based on my need for international roaming data plans at $20/month flat fee (this is on top of the standard fee, but the only time I *really need* data is when I'm roaming!). If any other smart phone came with that feature, I'd switch.
- Piaw Na
Joel, when an app is rejected at the time of a bugfix for reasons that existed in the released product for months, or when an app is rejected for an issue which exists in dozens of other apps that have been approved and a developer is shunned when bringing up this inconstant application of rules, then yes, I would call it arbitrary.
- Kevin Fox
Sorry, Kevin, wasn't being clear -- I was just responding to the assertion that console approval processes weren't as arbitrary as Apple's. I agree.-- Aplle's is even worse, and that's saying something!
- Joel Webber
A man who doesn't even play video games calling my opinion worthless? Rating Wall-E better than Up is crazysauce!
- Alex Scoble
What Jon said. I loved Wall-E and Eve as characters, but the story wasn't my style. I love Up.
- Derrick
Alex, you speak and act like a child. I cannot tolerate you. Go away.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Well, they both made me cry but that's just because I'm a GIRL.
- Rochelle
Rochelle, me too. Up made me cry the most, though. In the theatre. Behind my 3D glasses.
- joey
Good grief, Akiva. :) I used the word "love". I thought Incredibles was better. Monsters, Inc. was good. I didn't love Up as I thought it was too dark and slow. Wall*E was good but only worth seeing once.
- Louis Gray
Up was the closest I've gotten to crying since Where the Red Fern Grows.
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
I still haven't seen Incredibles, sadly. I need to do that! And I finally saw Cars the other week.
- joey
Oh, good gravy, Gray. Incredibles was like Joe Versus the Volcano. The first act was great; the rest was rubbish. I am scoffing! LOOK AT ME SCOFF.
- Akiva Moskovitz
SCOFF THIS. I AM DELETING MY ACCOUNT. (Can we replay that? I missed it yesterday)
- Louis Gray
Oh yeah, Cars was lame too. Bring it on.
- Louis Gray
LOL I love how Akiva's is resorting to making stuff up about me now. And Akiva, your opinion means less than that of a person who owns Bose now. Dissing Cars is just wrong...it had Michael Schumacher in it...SCHUMACHER!
- Alex Scoble
whoa, I ain't even seen Up yet and I'm kinda doubting that.
- Richard Lawler
I agree with the original sentiment. I mean, I loved Up, and it was really touching, but dang if I don't have a soft spot for cute little robots... :)
- Cheryl Jones
I loved the robots in Wall-E, it was the people I had a problem with.
- Derrick
Wall-e was pretty bad. WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA WALL-E EVA

And I'm not exaggerating that this is probably how many times they said that to each other.

Oh, well, if Cristo doesn't like it then it must be good.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Can I just say that I'm shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, that no one was blocked over this kerfluffle.
- Alex Scoble
Which one?? That harvey didin't see Wall-e?? Or that Akiva likes Wall-e better??
- Roberto Bonini
I'm shocked that this sort of mob-mentality, non-tech-related drivel is ALLOWED! YOU ARE KILLING THE GOLDEN GOOSE WITHYOURSOFTHUMANBRAINS!
- WorldofHiglet
The first 30 minutes of Wall-E were brilliant... apparently, the director had his team watch Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton to get it right. And the sound effects are insanely good.
- T. Brent, technopeasant
"Up" was better... :o) never cried to an animated movie before, - i did to this..
- Jeannette Høvring
I liked Wall-E a *lot* on first viewing it the theater. Now that we have it on DVD and have watched it a dozen or so times with out toddler, I find the first dialogue-less segment fantastic, and the rest of the movie lackluster and cliche. Oh, but it still blows the socks off "Cars"
- Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
I was going to leave a standard comment about Wall-E being slightly better than Up, though they're both pretty awesome, but instead I opened up the full thread and I'm backing away... slowly... *retreats into sketchbook*
- Kamilah Gill
Hell no. Up was much better then Wall-E.
- Jason Huebel
Yeah, it lasts a pretty long time, but the cuteness changes over time. Mentally bottle it up so you can take it out later and bask in the memories.
- Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
Will do :) We're taking tons of photos, and video of well, so hopefully that will help capture the moments for the future.
