You can view the market from any browser now, just visit: market.android.com
It supports multiple profiles for your phones and you can install apps to your phone through the new site. Looks very cool!

So far, you get an error when trying to sign in. Here is the link to the market:
http://market.android.com/
cant sign in with my account says "Invalid Request" interesting idea! tho
Man, i just got done watching the live stream of the conference and he said it was already live and he encouraged everyone to go check it out, but yes I am getting an invalid request
In app purchases are coming soon though, the demo they showed was pretty cool. Also, it looked as if you wont be required to do purchases directly through google checkout, as the demo just used a credit card to make an in-app purchase. Carrier billing will also be an option.

Yea, sign in works but it still can't install to devices. I am getting sick of Google introducing half-baked, untested things to the masses. Do they ever release something not in beta?

That last part is the error I got while it was parsing my device list.
I just gave it a try and it worked perfectly for me. Signed in with one click and it installed the app within seconds.
Works for me too!

Apparently, it works for some apps and not for others. Follow this link to see what others have said about it.

Almost half a dozen people had the same issue.
They only just got the sign in issue fixed.
Works on solitare but , not for pandora.
I was able to get signed in but when inputting my phone number I got an error. Now when I try to install an app I get "There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account." I've had my phone and gmail account synched up for over 6 months now, what gives!?
No issues here....

Basically it allows you to have multiple phones attached to the same account. To install apps go to market.android.com sign in to your account and then you can browse and install apps. As others have noted though, there are still some hang-ups in the system.
Keep an eye on youtube.com/android and soon they will post a recap of todays conference (not up yet)
So everyone seems to indicate that you can add a "Google Account" to Polaris Office...but I can't seem to find this anywhere? I CAN add an account from the upper right hand corner menu button but it only shows a username/password prompt for Box.net
Someone know what is going on?
Thanks!

Not sure, but I added my googlel docs account this morning, and it's working properly. My recollection is that the menu showed choices of google or box.net, and I was able to make the selection, then enter the info for that account.
When I go back in to the menu and attempt to add an account now, it just shows the box.net userid/password inputs choices. I wonder if the firmware update today changed something?
In polaris, where it displays the folders, on the top right tab, go to settings. You should be able to set up and login/password there. Once complete, at the folders list, you will also see your email address selection for google docs.
Keep in mind that when you modify a google doc, you cant just hit SAVE, because it assumes you want to save it to a destination on your tablet every single time. You have to hit the top left to go back until it asks if you want to save. Then you hit OK and it should save. I'm not sure if it really saves it so you should verify. I've found it much easier to work with documents locally or use google docs apps for word processing. For spreadsheet, you'll save a lot more time doing it in Excel or on a laptop if you choose to use google docs. Both Polaris and google docs' app for spreadsheet is pretty terrible.

Strange, I tried to add a new account (at folder level > add account) and can only add Box.net account.
My version of Polaris is 3.0 build 5r3638-FV06
It's a TW version. Could this be the problem?

I also have the same build, and I have a US TF. I can't select Google Accounts.
On another note, my copy and paste from outside apps is broken with this build number. It wasn't broken with the previous version (before OTA).
I had the same problem of only showing Box.net in the add account list. It had the OTA update build 8.2.3.13-20110511 so I reverted to the V8.2.3.9 build and it showed both Google and Box.net. Now if I could find the 8.2.3.13-20110511 to manually apply all would be better.

I have the same version of Polaris as the OP and I also can't add a Google Docs account. The only account option is box.net. Is this a bug in this version? I hope its fixed soon.
Any possibility of someone pulling the old version for us to install?
So I just rooted and installed Prime v1.3...same problem! Can anyone with a Polaris Office that connects to Google please let us know what version of it they are running?
Thanks!

I'd like to try and older version as well.
No Google Docs login/integration here. I updated to .13 the very first 30 mins I got it so I don't know if it ever had it.

I'm kind of curious about this because I had to revert BACK to 8.2.3.9 in order to root...didn't have a drop down or anything.
Anyone able to pull/post the APK of a version that has Google Docs integration? Still looking for it!
Thanks!

Unfortunately, even after it is saying "Saving.." the document never really saves to Google Docs.

Yeah, I'm ok with that...just being able to OPEN a Document that is on Google Docs directly would be nice.
Thanks!

After not having this feature, I just went a different route...I opened a dropbox account and save to the dropbox folder.
It's easy, and works great. I guess I don't really care about Google docs now.
Ok...my bro got a Transformer and the Polaris Office he has DOES have Google Docs Integration. The build number is 5r3330-FV06. For some reason it looks as if the newer version has Google Docs integration removed...annoying!
I'll see if I can make a backup or something of it/otherwise copy it.
Thanks!

I had Google docs in polaris, and I used it quite a bit, but it's gone after doing a factory reset with the latest firmware.

I have talked with Asus Tech support about this issue and they are releasing a update in the next couple of weeks or sooner after test that will fix this issue and other issues. I hope the fix also address the saving to the mini-SD card and reformatting the document to be able to read with all office apps.
-M
Okay I'm confirming it. Honeycomb 3.1 has an updated polaris app that includes google docs!

For some reason I cannot download the Amazon app store
1) I checked the box for "Unknown Sources"
2) I used the default browser in the TF300 to go to Amazon store download and I clicked the link. Nothing happened.
3) Downloaded Dolphin HD and tried the same. Nothing happened.
4) Ok, I will download the apk on my PC and transfer it onto the SD card or through Dropbox
5) Went to Amazon store download and clicked the link. Nothing happened. I tried this on IE9, FF and Chrome.
6) I used their little box to enter my email address on all the browsers and clicked the Go button. Nothing happened. No emails.
Am I going insane that NOTHING works? Would appreciate any help anyone can provide.
fyi, I reviewed the available threads that popped when I entered my title(cool feature) and none of them helped as I do not want to root my device.

When you are in the amazon app store website look to the right corner, you will see a box that says Get Started Download the Amazon Appstore: in that box enter the email address you have on setup on your device. You will receive a link in your email for the download. I suggest you use either Dolphin HD or Opera Mobile browser for downloading the file. If anything goes wrong you can download to your pc and transfer it. If you're not receiving the email check you spam or junk, or maybe wait a couple of minutes.

I already tried that. That was point number 6. It doesn't send any emails. And point number 3, I already mentioned I used Dolphin HD.
Edit: and as I already mentioned in my steps, I did try it on the PC. No luck.

Hi, I am looking for a K9 email client apk that works with android 2.1 on the NST. The oldest I found needed Android 4+....
Anyone can point me to a working and safe link?
Thanks!

According to the K-9 Mail GitHub, the attached version should run on 2.1 (I haven't tried it).
Thanks, unfortunately I get an error "There is a problem parsing the package"....

Rats.
Google is your friend. Search for the app with a version number that (according to the Wiki) should run on 2.1
Of course, that's what I did, but you might have more luck. Or (hopefully) someone who is using it will see this thread. There are a number of old threads with app packages attached. A copy might be in one of them. I remember people touting it long ago.
Edit: a search of the forum turned up no old copies of the app for me, but I did run across a post complaining about the wake-lock in K9 and Gmail. If you're not wedded to K9, I use a very simple email app which does not skulk in the background waiting for a connection. That means you have to manually check mail. You might want to take a look at it.

YEs, that email client is working (the email.apk one). I had to set the google account to accept sign-ins from "less-secure" apps though; Also, hotmail does not seem to be working, but at least gmail does.... Thanks!

OK, so never say "never". The attached K9 apk file installs on my NST and displays at least the first page I figure that's worth looking at. BTW, on that first page it states that it does not work with Hotmail....
Anyway, give it a whirl.

I found an old apk for hotmail and that seems to work (even imports contacts from hotmail)...so I should be all set (re gmail + hotmail)....
Browser (Opera), email (K9 and hotmail), RSS (greader), news (BBC, Engadget,...); readers (kindle; have not tried Google books app yet). a few games (Chess Pro, Landrule, ...), and a few useful utilities (Button Savior, Mathsapp calculator, ...) and the Go Launcher.
Also was a lot of work (finding apk that still work under Android 2.1)....I will probably look into alternative e-readers later this year (such as inkBook Prime and Co)....

Yep, kind of an interesting scavenger hunt at times. There are two packages of apps which might contain something you'd like to try in this thread.
I have rooted nstg with 1337 rom. For very long time i've been using dropbox & dropsync to sync nstg with my hdd bookshelf. But my old version of dropsync is not working anymore and newer is not compatible with android 2.1.
Is there any other usable aplication to sync dropbox. Or maybe there is better system to sync computer with nook over internet?
Yes, i know this is ancient system and hardware. But apart from this feature it is still usable.

So, I only know about Dropbox. Is that not working for your NSTG any more? Google Books is another option if all the books are EPUBs.
Mmm.....I just fired up Dropbox on my NST and uploaded a file which I can see on my PC.

Thanks for the heads-up on the file problem at Mediafire. Hmm...I wonder how to get around that?
There is still Google Books. Once the book is available on your device for off-line reading, you don't need to reconnect and sync unless you want to read it from some other device and pick up where you left off.
Edit: OK, I think I've fixed the zip file download. At least it just worked for me from a newly edited link. Thanks again for the info.

That's pretty bizarre. I really did install it last night before posting and was able to sign in without difficulty. I even saw a document I left there some time ago.
I wonder...have you updated your cacerts.bks file? Maybe the security certificate needed to sign in to the Dropbox server has expired in the old cacerts.bks file. That's not so far-fetched as a cause since similar behavior was seen with the Kindle app when that certificate expired.
Omg thank you so much for posting this apk - it worked to get my NST back into Dropbox with the workflow I’m used to. I thought the ability to use a working Dropbox sync was dead long ago
FWIW - I accidentally clicked login without my password filled, it asked for a 2-factor password pin sent to my email. I entered it and my Dropbox password and it’s all good now

You're welcome. No one is more surprised than I am since I long ago got the message from Dropbox that the old app would no longer be supported!
