AppBrain Stream Brings Social App Discovery To Android

Posted by in Applications, News

With the flood of Android apps hitting the Market everyday, finding exactly what you're looking for can be difficult and frustrating. Typically, when any of my Android-carrying friends are looking for new apps to play with, they ask me for suggestions. Likewise, I hit up my fellow editors when looking for something new and interesting to fiddle with (and let's not forget about Artem's awesome app roundups).

The crew over at AppBrain must've realized that, while their current app discovery system is good, the social element of finding new apps is the direction most people go. With that in mind, they created a new discovery service called AppBrain Stream -- a social way to discover new apps.

Android Developers, This Guy Created Thousands Of Android Icons You Can Use In Your Apps - They're Free And Look Great

Posted by in Applications, News

If you are looking for Android-themed icons, whether for your app or website, you're going to love these 12 collections from Tehkseven that their creator, Paul, sent over to us earlier today.

They are absolutely free, they look great, and there are literally thousands of them. I counted them and came up with 4,400.

Did I mention they're free? Not only that, Paul also said he would be open to creating any missing icons you may need on-demand. Just post a message if you can't find something, and he'll try his best.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is impressive.

P.S. Before posting here, I, as I sometimes do, tested potential popularity of these icons over on Reddit.

Weather And Business Apps The Top Grossing Categories On Android, Games Come In At Number Seven

Posted by in Android OS, Applications, News

Each month, Research2Guidance puts out a report on Android Market paid apps, which includes how they stack up against each other. The current state of the Market is somewhat of a surprise, as weather and business apps hold the top two grossing spots, with productivity, media & video, and books & reference rounding out the top five. However, one of the most downloaded categories on the Market - games - doesn't show up on the list until number seven, suggesting users would rather download a free game, rather than pay for one.

If you're looking to make money on Android, though, R2G suggests focusing on business apps, as it's highly unlikely for anyone to make "yet-another great weather app."

Facebook For Android Updated To v1.7, Brings Pull-To-Refresh, New Sharing & Tagging Options, Photo Swiping, More - Finally Back In The Tablet Market Too

Posted by in Applications, News

Facebook for Android got one step closer to being a viable replacement for its online counterpart today, after receiving an update today that brought several anticipated sharing, privacy, and interface changes.

Users now have access to the same privacy controls for posts as in Facebook's online interface and can tag friends and places as well. The update also brings improved messages and notifications, fixes for performance issues, and a couple of interface changes including redesigned profile and group walls, and a swipe interface for photo browsing. The developers have also added some other subtle enhancements such as pull-to-refresh capabilities iOS users are already so used to.

Amazon Appstore Introduces 'Geek Week,' Drops The Price On Some Very Useful Apps

Posted by in Applications, News

While the Amazon Appstore may have its downfalls, it also has its upsides -- namely good deals and free apps. Thus is the case with its new promotion called "Geek Week," in which some very useful apps designed for hardcore Android enthusiasts have received a nice price drop.

As for the apps in question, you'll find some well-known tools and utilities in the mix:

  • Easy Tether for $4.99 (normally $9.99)
  • Root Explorer for $0.99 (normally $3.99)
  • WidgetLocker for $0.99 (normally $1.99)
  • Wave Launcher for $0.99 (normally $1.99)
  • SetCPU for $0.99 (normally $2)
  • RepliGo Reader for $1.99 (normally $4.99)
  • Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client for $12.99 (normally $24.95)
  • BackupEverything for $0.99 (normally $1.99)

Among those, I highly recommend Root Explorer and SetCPU (for overclocked devices), but the majority of those apps are definitely worth the sale price.
