Have it working as a video client for my MythTV machine.
Needed to enable the UPnP setup on MythTV
and installed two Android apps:
UPnPlay and MoboPlayer.
MoboPlayer was required for my phone, since the default video player did not support the MythTV video format.
I got an initial error message about unsupported video format, and checked the very useful help file on UPnPlay.

Android Phone Week One
A car door ate our 'dumb phone' (crunch)
so now had the excuse to get a new one.
On that phone, we have a prepaid service here in Canada, so went out and picked up one of the most basic android phones:
So writing a few notes on this different technology.
Phone:
LG Optimus One with Google
Have turned off the carrier data access; use it as a voice phone + WiFi
Notes so far:
screen is a bit small, so I feel I have fat fingers ;)
Location based apps do not like having carrier data turned off;
Angry Birds is just playable ;)
Google Goggles is not that useful :(
