Where is Google Earth? - Nexus One General

I read that it would available for the Nexus, and I'm pretty sure I read it on the google home page for the nexus last week when I ordered.
Did I misread?

its available for download from the android market. just search for google earth.

I don't see it in the market...confused.

I don't see it in the market, strange.

He's messing with you. Not available yet.

You guys haven't downloaded it yet? Wish it had multi-touch though..

Well, I see how some of these "Senior Members" get their posts up, by posting BS.
Thanks for the info that it is NOT available yet.

Yup.
The one shown in the press conference was just a demo.
Should be coming along soon if you believe them.

(Posting the obvious)
Google Maps is equipped with satellite imagery, to hold you over until it's released.. they're essentially pretty similar.

Google Earth is in it's testing/beta phases still within Google, DogFood as they like to call it. It hasn't been released to the general public yet.

Important privacy information!!!!!

Everyone go to spokeo.com and get yourself removed from a very intrusive collection of your e-activities and info... peep it out it is crazy.... remove yourself by going to privacy on bottom right corner of your corresponding listing!!!!!!! not kidding look for yourself!!!!!!!
hmm... creepy
i didn't have much info available, but i deleted my listings anyway. thanks for the heads up
I didn't show up at all.
Holy crap ive got two listings there. It knows my full name, my address, my parents name. This is **** its stolen identity paradise.
Fear the beard...
This has what to do with the Vibrant?
what the hell, it found 89 conversations i had in MSN LIVE on there.... WHAT THE ****. how do i remove this ****?
By the time you put your name and phone number in there if they didn't have you to begin with they do now I was not found on it at all but ya never know
There are several similar sites on the net, such as Zaba. All the info is collected from public record searches or culled from posts to sites accessible via web bots. sometimes the info can be wildly wrong (like it shows my son is 30 years older than me - pretty sure that's wrong - unless he's got a time machine).
Think about what Google knows about you.....
WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.........Resistance is Futile YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED !!!!
People every thing you EVER put on the net is open game....... every time you sign up , buy, put an ad in Craigslist,,,,,, or ANYTHING... it is forever........and the algorithms can cross verify who you are........... so there is no anonymous anymore get used to it ..........And that is why you do put lame **** on the web it can come back to haunt you
I'm such an optimist aren't I ? just another Dale Carnegie

Spokeo owes its continued popularity, great SEO ranking, and quite possibly the collection of your basic information (aka your search input) to the paranoid masses. Even this well-intentioned albeit misplaced thread on XDA promotes and sends more people to them. Who's to say that the very act of looking yourself up or giving them the details to be removed doesn't actually send that information to their partner sites.
I recommend the Mods delete these thread.
That was my exact thought. Even if I did have information there... Well it's likely somewhere else anyway.

Weatherbug for Google Tablets - HELP

Just asking for a little help here, and I'd be grossly disappointed and shocked if the XDA community hasn't figured this one out by now. Apparently many people have been unable to download the beta version of the Weatherbug App for Android Tablets. And though Weatherbug claims (on their website) that this beta is ready for us to download and enjoy, and even though the Market has it and is supposedly ready for download, the Market will not recognize our tablets as being compatible. HOWEVER, I'd be more than willing to bet my precious Xoom that someone on here has already found the apk of this beta app, and if so I'm hoping that they'd be able to post it, or a link to it, ASAP. Think of me what you wish, but this is by far the app that I'd been looking forward to the most with my Xoom, as an avid weather nut. I'm fully confident that someone in the XDA community has an answer to this already. Thanks!!!

Yeah I am aware of this, but I figured I'd still post it here as I knew it would get more exposure here. I fully expected it would get moved, but in the mean time more people will see it here than in the Apps section

Good write up on TF in USA today tech section. today
Here is the link.
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2011-05-21-review-eee-pad-transformer_n.htm
It's an Associated Press article, so it has been reposted on tons of sites.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110518/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_digital_life_tech_test_eee_pad_transformer
Yahoo news is a good place to read ignorant comments.
'iPad apps, including The Wall Street Journal are not available at all'!
He's never heard of 'world newspapers app' then!
'Others, such as The New York Times, are available only in inferior versions, designed for the smartphone'
Never bothered looking through the market and found 'New York Times Tablet Edition'!!
What's the point of having reviewers that don't know jack ****.
Great, now laymen will be competing with us to try to get the unavailable tablet...

[APK Teardown Exclusive] The HTC Myst Facebook Phone – The Facebook App Is Now A Laun

We’ve managed to score a system dump of the Facebook phone! There’s nothing in it that’s too earth shattering, and you could probably guess most of the features, but, since we’ve got it, we might as well take a look at it.
[This is not an April Fool's joke. I promise.]
Now, this being Facebook, nothing really works unless you sign in. The problem is, all of this is pre-release, so it’s set up to only work for Facebook employee accounts. Everything is basically packing unintentional always-on DRM, so screenshots are going to be a little sparse.
Source
And this system dump isn't available anywhere for download, right ?
(And yes I read the articles; No download URLs I saw.)
Yeah so........ you have the system dump but you're not going to share it with anyone???
Who are you talking to ?
Nobody here has it AFAIK.
One of the sites had an article author who had it, but AFAICT he hasn't released it and it hasn't otherwise been uploaded anywhere known.

Well obviously since the OP says "we have a system dump." I was probably talking to the OP genius.

He quoted from the source linked.
When the thread is in the development section with the title apk breakdown exclusive, it kinda leads me to believe there is a download link and apk.
Should of been posted in general section to not confuse Facebook home fans.

How did I reached 46,000 downloads in less than two months full details

It's was very hard and almost impossible if you don't have at least a small marketing budget. I am making this thread to help developers learn.
I want to stress that all my marketing was free. I didn't use paid advertisement.
Deciding what I am going to make
1) I decided to make a platform game that had very simple controls, anyone can understand how to play it without instructions.
2) I decided to use some cartoon images that, almost all I made myself. There is no some "Complicated graphics".
3) I made the game easy enough so that a gamer can play it without instructions.
Before Launch
1) After I finished the game I didn't release it to the google play store , that would equal a fail. I opened a small community in Google+ and collected some people that want to hear when I release the game to production.
2) I posted on facebook groups screenshots about my game that going to be published. I did it in 5-6 groups and I spend on it 3 days.
3) I went to some games forums and also a create a post and trying to make people waiting for this game to be published.
Launch
1) Launched my app on Google Play , posted on facebook and on Google+ that its finally arrived. And here comes the numbers:
After one week my app got more than 10,000 installs!
And now my game has 46,000 downloads at Google Play!
And I am still fighting to get more downloads. Hopefully I can reach higher but for last couple of days the downloads just decreasing Any questions ask away.

I don't think you got the downloads for the reason you think. I am unsure what you did, but almost 800 ratings is good.
congrats on your successful launch that is a lot of downloads for that type of game.

So, If can I ask, why do you think all the downloads come from?
And thanks for replaying
Pretty interesting read, thanks!
Do you have a facebook page or something where people can follow you as a developer? I'm not sure if I should do that for the future.
4 days ago I published my first Android App. I prepared my release fairly well, I've read a lot about marketing apps.
- I've posted my app on forums where I'm active, inclusive a niche forum for the app.
- I've posted it on my personal facebook and tumblr.
- I've made a pretty good YouTube video for it.
- I've send it to over 30 review sites.
The reviews I've received are all very good, but I'm still struggling to get downloads. I'm still at 50-100 and I've done the best promoting I could.
Any tips?

I have a community page in Google+ at the link:
https://plus.google.com/communities/104791047015811270026
You are more than welcome to join my community
1) A bunch of facebook groups are here where you can post some screenshots of your app:
> https://www.facebook.com/groups/108079516002935/
> Innovative APP Users & Developers for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry & Android (Huge group, more than 9k people are in this group)
> https://www.facebook.com/groups/152169141638746/
Publish your app in these groups and you will get downloads for sure.
I very recommend using this Forum, post there some screenshots of your app with description and I'm sure you will receive more downloads:

We've hit the wall getting a 100 a day, and actually we did pay for advertising, I like your strategy and will try that with our next title. Indy devs paying it forward i like it!

100 download per day is pretty good!
Look at my first comment. Publish your game in facebook groups and forums and try to get people knowing about your game, If they like it they will share it with their friends and you will get more downloads.
BTW I saw your game. Its looks very nice Keep updating this game.
This is cool!
hi , cool game you have there
thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks for your sharing
Some pretty good numbers. Best of luck with your app

Agree with it
but truly graphics sucks
congralutation
Juste to be more helpful what's the list of forum where you have annonce jour game,
Thinks
From my own experience I can say, that it's very hard to find the right formula. There are so many variables and sometimes one method will work for specific app, sometimes not. But I agree that social factor has the best influence in downloads. The more people see, hear about your app - the more likely they will tell their friends and etc.
Thanks for the information really helpful, I will open a community in G+ right now for my current project.
Good luck with your platformer
