Looking for the good stuff. What's Alps what else. And if I'm searching the net and find a video I can't watch y

What exactly are you looking for? What issues are you having with video? What version of software are you running on your phone? Are you rooted or unrooted? Answers to these questions will certainly guide us in helping you out.

It is rather difficult to understand what you are asking, but here is my best guess.

If you are trying to watch streaming videos online that use Adobe Flash, the player that supports that has not come out yet for the Droid.

Adobe says it will be released the middle of this year. So hang tight it is coming.

What one person likes another doesn't always. Search the market for things that interest you. Hiking, scuba, eating, music, etc. Search the forums here....the apps section is a good starting place. Droid Applications - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

List areas of interest to you. If I say I want to go shopping but don't know what for then the best bet is to windowshop until you find something.

Oh, where is the good stuff? I think everyone is talking about some really good stuff in here: Something in the works!
