Not fake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doAkqAG4KzE

Quite good for larger screens and easy typing in general. Less-so for text that is not in the dictionary (eg. URL).

re:Snapkey

HMMMMMMM...
Good idea, but why don't they put a transparent overlay where we can adjust the opacity (0-100%) instead?

Dunno. It seems that there is a very light overlay, and besides, the keys aren't the typical QWERTY.... But good suggestion! Perhaps in the setting, to make it easier to use for casual users?

It seems like more of an experiment at this point, but seems interesting. I haven't seen it being used as a general keyboard.

Use your Android device as a secondary screen (Win and Mac):

Great idea and better late than never. I would really love to see some linux functionality, but that seems to be wishful thinking.

Has anyone accessed the new android market ebooks section? I went to the website but there was no ebooks section. Still just games and applications sections. I am wondering whether it is not available in the UK yet.

Are you sure this isn't supposed to be in the Google Books shop, rather than directly in Android Market? It seems like both a mistake and a bad place to put them, since they're not apps. Right now, you can buy books directly in the Google Books app.

Did you lose your Android tablet or handset? Maybe it was stolen?? And you didn't install an app to help you find it???

No problem, fellow Androids! Now there's a PLAN B! Best of all, it'll even find it if you had the GPS turned off (it turns it on!).

Android gets better and better every day..

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS OF THE WEEK!

FPse (the accelerated PSX emu) is now on Android and runs on the Tab flawlessly.

Now this is a true gaming device:

I *love* the portrait mode. Pure win.

Man, I'm a post-crazy guy today! But I had to throw this in here for us Galaxy Tab people!

This pinball game has EXCELLENT physics and it takes advantage of WHATEVER resolution you have--that is, if you have a tablet like our Galaxy Tab, you get--BAM! Full screen high-resolution pinball!

Ok perfect!

I have a PS2 controller that was successfully paired to my N900. CAN I use it instead.

Because sometimes you have to input combinations.
