Care to share?
Any good free emulators out there?
Wow didn't realize you got a Tab?
Anyway go to the market and download the Adobe Flash plugin. Just do a search for Adobe and it's the first pick on the list. I wish I had figured this out earlier, now my TouchPad has become irrelevant.
I downloaded the NES, SNES, and Genesis ones. I checked out the Genesis one last night. Is there no way to move the thumbpad to the bottom left of the screen? Also, can you change roms without restarting the tablet? I'm such a noob but this Galaxy Tab is way different than the iPad and I'm not used to it yet.
I am a patient boy.
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait.
My time is water down a drain.

When you're in a game, hit the menu button at the bottom to bring up the options. From there you can modify the size, location, etc. of the controls and you can save/quit games from the menu as well. And wow...that's basic stuff.

$150
.....and I hadn't yet figured out how to get ESPN3 on the Galaxy Tab
lol..... I keep forgetting that almost every App can be gotten straight from a webpage.
For example, I now get these straight from the TP's web browser, instead of Apps: ESPN3, Zinio, Google News,
Netflix, HBO Go, Ebay, Audible, Huff Post, ESPN. I sometimes forget an "app" is really just a glorified
icon for a webpage

I'm pretty sure there wasn't a menu button at the bottom. I'll recheck when I get home.

It's the main honeycomb menu button...in the bottom left corner...the persistent icons that are there all the time in Android (well 95% of the time anyway). The menu one appears where there is a menu in that particular application.
From my post a few pages back:
See the lines at the bottom...that's the menu button.
ScoopBrady wrote:I did not know that. I just upgraded Honeycomb two days ago. Were those lines there out of the box?
Yup, always been there on Honeycomb tablets. Again, the "menu" button (the one on the right) is only there when an App supports it. So sometimes the menu button goes away (like when you're on your home screen).

You will see more and more of this.......websites designed specifically for tablets...just as we did with site for mobile phones.
The more tablets grab the PC/Laptop market share, the more everything will shift towards them.
I think this coming holiday season will see a crazy run on tablets as more and more enter the market at lower prices.
Competition is Good!!! Beware Apple!
I'm all over an Amazon Tablet. I love buying from Amazon so it's a guaranteed purchase. Even if it's Android based it should still be good for Amazon because like I said they sell apps, e-books, music, games, and rent movies and videos.
Several analyst have chimed in and said they pose the biggest headache to Apple because they sell so much stuff from their site. It's akin to EA selling a videogame console.

So all the things google does already?
An Amazon tablet will likely be locked to their services. Depending on price, that could be a good thing, but most likely not. I'd rather be able to use a variety of accounts. Google Books, Nook, Kindle...all usable on a regular Honeycomb tablet (and phone for that matter), so if Amazon locks em down, that would be bad. They'll still sell a ton though.
