Dolphin Browser is also able to load Flash objects.

Im curious to see how different S7 user have setup their home screen. As for me i went with a minimalist, functional layout. Ive got my power widgets, weather, news, favorite bookmarks, apps in an organized layout. No wallpaper BTW.

How did you get your desktop to look blue like that? My S7 has a grey looking desktop. Is that something you installed and if so can you give us info where to get it? Looks sweet, thanks.

Using Skyfire or Dolphin browser will it be possible to watch HULU? I know, I should try it and then state it here.

I don't think so. Hulu blocks mobile devices because of some dumb licensing problems with the content. It used to be possible to change your user agent and trick Hulu into working, but they have closed that loophole as far as I know. Dolphin HD just complains about lack of Flash even with the user agent changed.

I know once we get to 2.2 there is a .lib file you replace in your adobe flash application and you can still trick Hulu to thinking you are not on a mobile device. However until we get to 2.2 and can have Adobe Flash this is a non-issue. I have this currently working on my DX with out any problems. It is really nice because with Dish Network they have a lot of the shows and movies stored online now and you can watch them. About half of the TV Shows were though Hulu and would not work until this was done.

If your tablet is not running android 2.2 then you can not install flash

Try using skyfire browser. It plays most flash videos from the web.

You can use sling box to get tv

Not without flash player installed, which you can not install on Android 2.1.

Yep, it's Skyfire or nothing right now. Still waiting for 2.2 which actually doesn''t play all the flash sites. Not sure how 2.3 has dealt with these issues. Guessing 3.0 will fix all of these.

I put two MP4 files on sdcard2 (16gb) and the video app shows the two movies as having the same name even though they are different entirely! One is a James Bond movie and the other is a Lord of the Rings. File Manager shows the mp4 names. Does the video app need an upgrade? BTW - the card was formatted on the S7.

Did you try playing the files to see if they are different on the Disk? It sounds to me like there may be a file header corruption if they are appearing the same but are different files, but bottom line, if they work they, then they work.

One question, does one at least have the (1) after the name?
