Update : Beta released
First beta have been unlished on the Android Marketplace. So far so good, some one reported that the program crashes(unknown cause)
Overview
This is idea for my Daily deals agent that will monitor certain sites for daily deals.
Current sites to consider
- Woot.com - woot | shirt | wine | sellout
- 1saleaday.com - wireless, watches
Simple yet powerful enough to help me keep tabs on sweet deals.

Sorry it took little longer than expected, run in some issues with cupcake (SDK 1.5)
I have attached a Demo project for all interested with some screenshots and modified .project for TabWidget Project(fixes cupcake problem ref http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/5537ae10e4143240) if you use eclipse.
1. My env:
Eclipse Version: 3.4.2
Android SDK 1.5
Windows
2.After you import the TabWidgedDemo project you will probably need to fix your buildpath.
Make sure to add TabWidet as a reference to TabWidgedDemo.
3.In TabWidged project you will need to update the .project file otherwise you will get Verify error when deploying to the device.
If you have any questions let me know, I hope you enjoy the project, more improvements to come

For better experience for users of my app I wanted to show them different UI based on their network speed, problem here is that there is no way to know what network we are currently on.
My first instinct was to use android.net.ConnectivityManager getActiveNetworkInfo() which gives us current network information, but the only thing we can find out from this is the connection type TYPE_MOBILE or TYPE_WIFI which is not very useful for my purpose.
So here is a quick tool that will try to determine network type by testing the download speed, I use threshold of 176 kbits/sec as EDGE cut of value.
