Skyfire browser will play flash videos from webpages. How is this possible without Flash and Android 2.2? Skyfire servers stream the video and then convert it to HTML 5.0 and send it to your phone.

i have not tried that is it in the application or a website

**Xiphos** · 07-04-10, 02:40 PM

Tried what?

**Reca** · 07-04-10, 02:50 PM

mobi

**Xiphos** · 07-04-10, 03:14 PM

drugs.mobi is a website, hit it in your browser. Sites ending with .mobi should be optimized for phone browsers.

I am looking for several apps.

1) one that will identify pills

2) one that I can use to password protect photos

3) one that I can make documents, and password protect them. I also would like to be able to store my credit card number but have it password protected.

4) and any cool games

**Xiphos** · 07-04-10, 03:42 PM

Bookmark drugs.mobi in your browser. Last I looked there was no app yet for Android.

Most games will be free for a basic version but you're gonna have to pay for anything decent.

Robo Defense is good.

I'm not aware of any password protection for photos. Under Menu > Location and Security : enable PIN lock or set an unlock pattern.

The Unlock Pattern will keep your phone locked once it's asleep. You have to trace the unlock pattern to open up the phone. That's quick and easy way to password protect the phone.

If you figure out the CC thing let me know. Here's this Visa app:

Credit Card Alert App | Android Tapp

also:

Android Password Manager - SplashID

Drugs.mobi is a good site. I use it frequently.

**Five-0** · 07-04-10, 03:48 PM

Another vote for RoboDefense. The only thing I have paid for on my Droid.

**Reca** · 07-04-10, 04:00 PM

the tracing to open phone is a pain in the ass since i get so many damn text now

Check it out: B-Folders for Android

I've always thought the state should write an IPhone/BB/Android/notebook PC app to run DL's and tags, so agencies that don't have data terminals in their cars can get quick returns during a traffic stop.

Our traffic stops were often over by the time Dispatch came back with the returns, plus they'd close our only radio channel everytime someone did a building search or had some other high-risk thing going on, which would sometime last an hour. One time we had to chase a car down twice, once for speeding and again after their return came back 15 minutes later with warrants, which was about 3 minutes after we finally let the car go.

I contacted the state a couple of times about writing an app myself for my notebook and just downloading the db once a day if nothing else, and it went all the way up to the records dept head. But, his conclusion was that they couldn't do it unless the Legislature passed a law allowing it, and he would fight any attempt to do anything like that.

I guess security and tracability is the problem, but not an insurmountable problem with the encryption available today, which could not only encrypt any downloaded data, but also provide for personal keys and even a little $100 fingerprint scanner so the officer could just touch the scanner to have quick access to access it without having to type in his personal encryption key every time, thus making it secure even if the phone or laptop is lost or stolen. I think they thought I was crazy to even suggest such a thing, even though it would probably be more secure than the current data terminals that richer agencies have.

But, I guess I'm way off the subject of what's ACTUALLY available.
