For Heroes of Newerth and HonCast.com fans.
Something I wrote for myself that maybe someone would be interested in using.
This is NOT an official App, and I am in no way affiliated with the great guys at Honcast.com (shoutout!). I'm just sharing the joy of being a (mobile) fan.
The app allows viewing of Honcast (www.honcast.com) VoD on the tablet either via browser (Flash necessary) or a media player (DicePlayer/MXPlayer, etc.)
Currently runs ONLY on ICS and Honeycomb.
Tested ONLY on the Asus Transformer TF101, running ICS.
===
Updated: Now allows downloading of episodes to your mobile, and layout updated to support large-form high-res phones (like the Galaxy Nexus)

First day with transformer. I use Slacker extensively on my DX but Market doesn't show me any love. Hoping it is temporary issue. Anybody know if it is not supported?
Not not have Honeycomb support. You could e-mail the dev to ask if they are working on a Honeycomb tablet compatible app.
Thanks. I didn't realize that some apps would not be available on Honeycomb tablets.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised given that many apps for iPhones don't run on iPad (excluding the 2X option).
You could use Pandora for now...
Hi there, just been reading about this after I found it on a gadget website this morning . hopefully it'll ship to tablets soon..... or if the devs in here, mdj and dexter are feeling generous they may buy one of the new tablets and port it over perhaps??

quick quote if you aren't allowed external site access and youre reading from your xda app.
"Yesterday we saw the launch of the world’s first Android 3.2 tablet, Huawei’s MediaPad. However, it seems it won’t be long until we see more tablets running 3.2, as the build is set for release this summer.
Android 3.2 doesn’t offer much in the way of features. This is my next reports that it does contain some bug fixes and improved hardware acceleration, but the biggest thing is that it will bring support for Qualcomm processors as well as Nvidia’s popular Tegra 2 chipset.
The Motorola Xoom will reportedly get Android 3.2 in the next few weeks, but Qualcomm support could mean that current 7-inchers (like the HTC Flyer) may also get the update. Fingers crossed!"
So seeing as the Xoom is getting it in the next few weeks, lets give support to our devs and maybe the A500 may get it also.
HC 3.2 is just 3.1 optimised for 7" tablets. Of no real relevance to Acer Iconia A500 users. It really should have been called 3.11 but then that might have recalled some scary memories for seasoned Windows users.

Yeah, trying to get a Windows 3.11 PC connected to a novell netware network using thinnet cable, made even Linux administration seem easy.

I got nostalgic for my first Windows PC, so I'm running my old "friend" Windows 3.11 on my Iconia using DOSbox.
In relevance to the thread though:
"Tech site This Is My Next, however, reports that Android 3.2 Honeycomb will be the last in the Android 3.x series and that it has several new features:
- optimized for 7-inch devices,
- expands support for more mobile processors such as NVIDIA Tegra 2 and Qualcomm’s processors,
- fixes some bugs and improves hardware acceleration, and
- provides updates to widgets and apps (e.g., Movies, Movie Studio, Music, etc.)."

I've got a few android devices... and I like to keep them relatively the same when it comes to the apps they have on them. So, I really enjoy the gallery app found on the CM7 rom of one of my phones. Gallery 3D is free, but for some reason listed as not compatible with the A500. I did some digging and grabbed the updated apk from one of my phones, worked a champ on the tablet.
I wonder what other apps are out there like this one.
I have it listed as compatible now - Acer A500 (registered July, 2011). It could depend on what the ROM you're using. I don't remember what I've been using in June but my Iconia Acer A500 (registered June, 2011) is also incompatible with this app. But for sure June was before HC 3.1.
Good to know. I'm talking with a few friends on the inside at the market to see what's going on. Using Lightspeed currently... tried Virtuous-Xoom as well. Did not matter which kernel was being used.
I had this on my Archos 101 and I enjoyed it - though it seemed more flashy than functional.
It shows up in the marketplace on my tab - downloaded and installed no problem - works fine. But still has it's quirks.

Please, I want a confirmed answer from someone who has updated to ICS from stock HC.
Will the update wipe all my data? I've seen answers here stating that it will, and that it won't. So, what's going to happen, FOR REAL??

Apps are definitely not wiped.
I personally recommend you factory reset after though, just in case you end up one of those with issues after the upgrade. I factory reset mine even though I had no problems. So, backup whatever is on your internal storage that you want just in case you do end up having to wipe it.
