Wow much better than the app.

So I added it to my homescreen and shoved the YouTube app to my unused folder

Only thing I don't like is that it opened up safari. But since I'm in it all the time, it's not that big of a deal.
How'd you add it to your homescreen?

its as simple as putting a link on your home screen.

just press the "+" button in safari and click on "add link to homescreen" or something like that.

YouTube got in my brain and prompted me to add it to my homescreen as soon as I loaded the page. I never new this was possible. Thanks

Again, this is alpha quality right now but then again the project is only a couple months old. It all got kickstarted when one guy showed off android running on an iPhone in April.
That is crazy sick that you got froyo goodness on your iPhone... WOW...Teh Android is everywhere...

Yeah the You Tube app sucks. Mobile link for the win. But the vids don't always work. Like you click on the pic of the vid and it won't load. But I had this happen more on the app.

FYI, if you make links to certain websites, the icon for the bookmark might be a special icon. Like slickdeals has an SD like how You Tube has its logo instead of a minimized page.

It runs like shit! I got the google apps installed and almost none of them work without crashing. Video doesn't play on youtube, the iPhone now won't charge the battery when it's running android and even when it is charged battery life is about an hour and everything is SLOOOOOW, if it works at all!

Yes and no. I should have been clear. I didn't create the wallpapers. I searches for dreamscape vista video wallpapers. From those clips I cropped, resized and encoded to mpeg4. Then I copied them into the root folder where the files are stored by the vwallpapers app.


I upped them for someone else. I'll post the link here as well. I've made a few more, but they aren't in the original zip.

With this and the moviez site I'm going to shatter my bandwith. Thank God I got unlimited data. Already watched most of the Expendables. Time to start watching some Weeds, Californication, and 30 Rock.

*crickets* about this or everyone's watching netflix? Just watched an ep of Weeds. Probably 3 total skips mostly at the beginning. Then one part it got stuck so I rewound it. The rewinding/ffing feature is pretty good like You Tube.

i meant gmail settings at the actual website. not on the phone.

and if AT&T can help. sounds more like something that you would take care of at the "genius" bar at an apple store.

actually i was having issues with my colleges webmail, it wasnt able to connect anymore to the server.

found out that they actually migrated their email service to gmail. kind of cool, but useless to me since i dont got there anymore at the moment.
