Google Sky Map is surprisingly fast on this thing. Handy while checking to make sure I was really looking at Mars tonight.

Amazon Prime Instant Video is not available on Android devices, except of course, Kindle Fires. iPad? Yes. iPod? Yes. Just not Android unless it's a Kindle.
Booo Amazon.

But I wouldn't be surprised if something went wrong when trying to use that extractor app on an installed Netflix app.
There are about half-a-dozen similar apk extractor apps, but the one above seems to float to the top. I think some of the others might allow better "batching" capability however. (E.g. so you could have extracted *all* your .apk before restoring).
But it's not that difficult to find lots of different netflix.apk on the web, but assessing the trustworthiness of the source would be easier if you had made your own copy.

Actually I'd put https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...processmanager on nearly all my devices, but only just noticed that one of its facilities is "backup apps" (also "restore apps") which quickly creates a nice directory containing an APK for each app on your phone. Easily transferred to the external SD card (well actually it's tricky with my broken touch screen; I actually eventually ssh'd in via an old version of https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....apps.sshdroid and used command-line to do it), and then to home computer and Internet.
Android Assistant seemed to get things overlooked by the other alternative; more system apps, and also codecs for video players.
Hmm. I have 4.4.2 Kit Kat but Samsung has not done a port of the Android Runtime for this device so I'm still stuck with Dalvik. Boo.
I have 4.4.4 on my Motorola Moto G but seemingly some apps do not work well with ART and can send the device randomly in bootloop. So, for the time being, I'm keeping Dalvik on my phone, especially since ART eats up 500MB of physical memory and I've the 8GB model (only 5.5 free space at phone first boot - right now around 2.5GB free).
I'll wait patiently for Android L by which ART will be the one and only runtime on the system.
Sony announced the Z3 Tablet Compact, their first 8" tablet (I think). Headlining new feature is PS4 remote play.

Get that weak shit off my track
Be interested in anyones positive experience about photo editing apps/software on their android tablet. I've got a Samsung Tab 8.0 that I'd like to start using in this manor rather than using my laptop.
Well, the best experience I've had is with Lightroom Mobile, but that's only available on the ipad, and it's only for certain things.
