LauncherPro Developer Releases New App "UberMusic" To The Wilds of Beta

Posted by in Applications, News

LauncherPro developer Fredrico Carnales made headlines a couple of months ago by announcing that, on top of maintaining his popular homescreen replacement, he was going to tackle development on a music app. That app, now named UberMusic, has made it out to the public in the form of a downloadable beta.

And damn, does this app look good. It downloads artist/album data in the background, allowing the menu wallpapers to be spiced up with some truly awesome art. These images are artist-specific and add a little bit of flair to what could've been a very boring app.

UberMusic also comes with a homescreen widget, and functions a lot like the stock player; however, there's some deeper options - like Last.FM scrobbling and headphone controls - that cause it to stand out from the pack.

[Review] Dinner Spinner Brings The Feast To Android: Let The Food Porn Commence!

Posted by in App Reviews, Applications, Reviews
Last Updated: July 24th, 2011

Great iOS ports seem to be flowing over the Android border quite steadily these days: I reviewed Cut The Rope last week, so why not tackle AllRecipes.com's Dinner Spinner?

image

Dinner Spinner is a port of the popular iOS app by the same name. In it, you spin a number of menus and select certain criteria for recipes you would like to try. The app then queries the database for recipes that match your search, and bring the ingredients list and directions up for you, right on your phone.

The allure (and major feature) of this app is that you can shake your phone and it will spin the menus, hopefully sparking some creativity and new recipe ideas.

[Live Wallpaper] Gravity Home: Where Launcher Meets Wallpaper

Posted by in Applications, News

If you've been looking for a live wallpaper that offers up a bit of functionality and nice physics, then Gravity Home may fit the bill perfectly. It's a live wallpaper / launcher hybrid, and unlike some of the competitors in the Market, it's actually useable.

The concept behind Gravity Home is simple: instead of having static icons on your homescreens, why not have icons that dynamically move around as your device moves? While this may sound slightly annoying, the icons actually "float" around the homescreen, so the movement is very slow and fluid, making it easy to tap the one that you want while it's still moving around.

Facebook For Android Updated To v1.6, Brings Pages, Video Uploads, And News Feed Improvements

Posted by in Applications, News

Following a lengthy period of beta testing (about 1 month), version 1.6 of the Facebook Android app is now in the Market. As expected, the update brings with it:

  • video uploads
  • access to pages
  • improvements to the news feed (though the expected comment liking did not seem to make it for some reason)

Not much to say here - the amount of new features is really not that extensive. Go grab the update from the Market or use our widget below and let us know what else you find (what are these "improvements" to the news feed for example?).

Zinio And NVIDIA Team Up To Bring Hardware-Accelerated Magazine Reading To Tegra Tablets

Posted by in Applications, News

One of the best things about having a tablet is that it can take the place of many other, usually not-so-techy, things in our lives. Paper products like newspapers and magazines, for example, are easily replaceable with a simple application. Zinio is a popular newsstand app that aims to take the place of the latter, and while it has only been in the Android Market for a short amount of time, it just received an update that makes it even more desirable.

ss-1-3-8b79eaa86b85321d773ee96b58be075e71608c16 ss-2-3-bc61866cc14b3a21582b7fd337dc3051341e37cf ss-3-3-6b7ee711808b84fbc6e4dfc202172ab7bd847d6d

The newest update is designed specifically for Tegra-based Honeycomb tablets, as it fully utilizes the Tegra 2's GPU and hardware acceleration to create a visually stimulating reading experience.

Hulu Plus Finally Available In The Android Market For Select Few Models, Download Away If You Can

Posted by in Applications, News

Hulu, one of the top TV and movie streaming sites on the web, has long been an elusive target for Android users. At first, we didn't have Flash. Once we got Flash, Hulu started blocking Flash-enabled Android devices. Many hacks followed, but required modifications to the Flash apk and resulted in less than optimal viewing experience in the browser. In January, we finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, when the upcoming official application was finally revealed, though without any promises on delivery timelines.

For Hulu Plus subscribers, the battle is now over, as the company just dropped off a little overdue present in the Market.

Move Over, SmartBench - There's A New Multi-Core Benchmark App In Town: Meet CF-Bench

Posted by in Applications, News

It's no secret that benchmarks can easily be spoofed to show some pretty amazing results. Regardless of that, it has become an almost standard practice to demonstrate a device's power and prestige by using such tools. Over time, a few different apps have made a name for themselves and become clutch in the realm of benchmarking tools: Quandrant, Linpack, and SmartBench, just to name a few.

A new benchmarking tool has now been released by the same dev that brought us Chainfire3D called CF-Bench. Much like Smartbench, one of the key features of CF-Bench is its support for multiple cores, so right of the gate it delivers a more accurate performance reading.

Dolphin Browser HD V6.0 Beta Hits The Android Market Alongside The Stable Version

Posted by in Applications, News

In a page taken directly from the Firefox playbook, the team behind Dolphin Browser have thrown the newest beta version of Dolphin HD into the market alongside the current stable version. This allows you to test out all of the upcoming features in Dolphin while they're still bleeding edge, without sacrificing the stability of the current version, as you can have them both installed at the same time.

ss-0-0-3b7f086e8148f5c2f5ecf28df0146626034dad88 ss-1-0-a1d466714a772975cf1156ae4c58b9e17505ac14

I'm not entirely sure what they were thinking when they chose that font.

Naturally, the newest beta offers all of the things that you love about Dolphin, along with some added features, like Webzine - a feature that Dolphin claims "changes the way we browse the mobile web."

If you love your software fresh-out-of-the-oven, go ahead and hop over to the Android Market or hit the widget below to grab this all new beta.
