It would suck if you had just bought Tasker. But yeah, Im with you on this. Go ahead and make upgrades to the program that can only be done using the new 4.0+ APIs and improve the interface and make a new version. Im not cool with them just stopping improving things just because.
The current tasker is a great app and worth it. Keep moving forward, because if he doesn't some other dev will. Android 2.0 and its variations have had their 2+ years. Time to move on, especially since there will still be a perfectly functional Tasker app for GB, its not going to just vanish.
After balking at the idea of ever buying a tablet, I think I might be in the market for a Nexus 10. I'm in grad school and while taking notes in class, I find myself constantly wishing I could make hand-drawn notes/diagrams. Can anyone recommend a program that is made for this sort of thing? My ideal setup would be a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard for typing, with the ability to quickly use a stylus to just start drawing stuff anywhere on the page.
Didn't even realise it was out until I read this, but now I have it, I really like it.
So far it doesn't seem to crash like Swype does either, which is an obvious bonus.
For those comparing swift key flow to Swype, you are using the Swype beta and not some bundled version right? Because any version other than the latest Swype beta is trash. They have really improved it. I can't use swift key flow or the 4.2 keyboard after using the Swype beta for so long.

I am in love with these live wallpapers by maxelus. They are super smooth on a Nexus 4, look amazing and seem very light on battery. I got them all. I haven't done any scientific testing, but they seem to have a minimal impact on battery.

Fresh Leaves is my current favorite. To get into the winter spirit, I have icy leaves gracing my homescreen. My favorite free one is Shadow Galaxy.

Can you help me out?
I got his galaxy pack and now it won't let me install it.
What's worse, it charged me for it, but says I didn't purchase it on my Nexus 7.
Thanks for the share. These are nice.

Not sure, maybe you can request a refund?

If someone is gonna be screwed it should be the Gingerbread folk, not new people with new phones who just bought Tasker.
That reminds me, I have to try the 4.2 keyboard someday.

This just happened to me for a couple of app purchases and a friend is also having the same problem. One of the 2 apps I bought downloaded on it's own after about 3 hours but I'm still waiting for the other one.
Seems like there might be some issues with the Google servers so it might be prudent to put off any app purchases for a day or so until the problem is fixed.
The best pdf based on my experience is radaee pdf. Extremely fast and nimble. You can also write notes with it. Amazing app. The rest is pretty slow and crappy.

Why would you not link to the app itself?

Huh, this seems really similar to Google Reader.
Ugly is one thing, as long as it's *functional* is the important part. Give me something that works over vanity any day of the week. It's been a total pig of resources and a slog to use since it came out this time last year.
I'm willing to give it another shot.
GTA: Vice City and Broken Sword II both came out today.

Good point. I don't know why. Android Police deserve some hits, though!
Same here. I liked the way the app looked before but using it was too clunky. I'm giving it another shot.

Currents looks now more like the G+ app which is good. Feels a bit sluggish to navigate though (don't remember how it was before haven't used it in a while) but the imporvement is good and the widget is nice.
I don't have the tablet version but there doesn't appear to be on the phone version.
How the heck do I dismiss the keyboard? Swiping down does nothing.
back key doesn't do it?
It's in Theme menu.

I was testing out the Swiftkey swiping and it seems inferior to Swype. I can swipe while barely looking at the keyboard in Swype, led to many errors in Swiftkey. While recognition is down from the earlier Swype betas (especially with uncommon words like sine getting chosen over a common word like since which makes me delete them from the dictionary) the 1.3 fixed some of the bad issues with the previous beta. (I also still turn off auto correction because it's unnecessary with the swiping method and just tends to cause rage inducing word changes...)
While Swiftkey flow can guess the swiped word better than the built in Google implementation and supports a more loose swipe input, in Swype I can start going in the completely wrong direction and still get the intended word which tend to leads to errors with those other keyboards. When you get good at swiping this is important for speed.
I'm still testing the Swiftkey so I did have a few questions about it. (1) when swiping it wouldn't do contractions? I couldn't find how to get them to work. (2) is there a way to get more swipe suggestions? Some of the time I would swipe something but it would guess wrong but with only a few suggestions I couldn't correct, sometimes not even when I would go very slow would it come up in the suggestions. Whereas in Swype I could just slide through a big list of them. (3) are there shortcuts for copy/cut, paste, and select all ?
