I have the new G2 Android phone which was pre-loaded with the Listen app. But I can’t use it as I get a message saying “Listen requires a gmail account to sync with reader.google.com. Please add a new account in system preferences”.
This is all fine but I cannot find a way to get to “system preferences”.

Help!!!!!

1. I would like to confirm that “LISTEN” uses a data stream and will not add to my phone call minutes.

2. How does one download previous (older) podcasts that “LISTEN” can see and play? (I can place the file on the SD card, but how do I get “LISTEN” to play the file?)

I sure hope Google is trying to take on iTunes, I really dislike that stupid piece of software. The most awkward and despotic music player made by the most arrogant and communistic company (but man, they do have some good products).

This app is good but it needs more options …my batt has been sucked dry by this app today…if you subscribe to a podcast it doesn’t give you the option to not download …I didn’t realize this at first and subscribed to a bunch of podcasts when I installed it today

I downloaded it yesterday in the UK – am also using rooted phone though (which, btw, probably doubled the speed of everything on my G1)

It’s available in Australia. When a publisher submits an app, they can select “All Current and Future Locations” or they can select individual countries.

Ok this may be a stupid idea, but if somebody could put the installer online, can we then just install that package here in the netherlands?

Does anyone know if Google Listen provides a way to subscribe to a particular podcast not found in the search?

I just downloaded it now from the Android Market onto my T-Mobile myTouch and it downloaded and installed without issue.

The market is indeed different in the netherlands (and other countries probably as well), due agreements with telcoms and/or laws. The reason this particular app isnt available in the Netherlands; I have no clue. Maybe they’re first just “beta-ing” in the us/uk. I’m waiting for it as well (I’m from Utrecht, NL)

I just purchased DoggCatcher and am glad I did. It’s better than Google Listen so try both before deciding.
