The GO Dev Team Is On Fire, GO Keyboard Hits The Market

Posted by in Applications, News

I don't think that these guys ever sleep! Yesterday we told you about GO Score and now we're back with yet another app from the GO Dev Team: GO Keyboard. Already touted as the "best and most popular keyboard in the Android Market", the numbers speak for themselves - it has a stellar 0 star rating out of a massive 6 downloads!

ss-0-320-480-160-0-30fec5d60da9219c95ac7749649f35b2085c9565 ss-1-320-480-160-0-e308b96068e27066b51d4b9d3ed3f0f6f667324e ss-2-320-480-160-0-704d9aa14b4ee63f7c8030133dcf170d73c92483

Seriously, though, it incorporates the most common features of other Android keyboards, like skinning, "accurate dictionaries", autocorrect, text prediction in multiple languages, and more. Currently supported languages are English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and  Portuguese but, with the current version only at 0.0.6, something tells me there will be a lot more languages and features to come.

Google Pulls Grooveshark From The Android Market Due To Terms Of Service Violation

Posted by in Applications, News

If you are a fan of the music streaming service Grooveshark, life just got a little worse for you, because as of yesterday, you will no longer find it in the Android Market. While no specifics were mentioned, we know that Google was forced to pull the app due to a violation in the terms of service and possibly some pressure from record labels.

It hasn't been an easy road for Grooveshark since the beginning, as most record labels feel that it promotes piracy by allowing users to upload and share their own tracks. It was this very accusation that got Grooveshark removed from the iTunes App Store last August.

Now We're Talking - Today's Free Premium Amazon Appstore App Is The Excellent PicSay Pro (Normally $3.99)

Posted by in Applications, Deals, News

After a few days of relatively disappointing free premium apps of the day in the Amazon Appstore, today we have a real treat - the Pro version of a photo editing app PicSay. Before I go on, I must note that this is the only photo editing app I actually bought quite a while ago, after playing around with the free version. It's no wonder - the app has 4.8 stars and over 11,000 ratings in the Market.

PicSay Pro is one of the easiest and most versatile programs for quickly editing, saving, and sharing photos. And did I mention it's fun?

Photile Live Wallpaper Brings Your Existing Photos And Wallpapers To Life

Posted by in App Reviews, Applications, Apps/Games, News, Reviews, Videos
Last Updated: July 24th, 2011

I have seen a lot of live wallpapers and, truth be told, I'm generally not that impressed most of the time. Every once in a while, though, one comes along that is just so nice that I want to share it with everyone. This is one of those times.

ss-7-320-480-160-0-e98450ee6694b3bb869bb8bb98326f7c25f96be0 ss-4-320-480-160-0-c763282b2a2a9f9a2b36215aded7ab11c565fa1c ss-5-320-480-160-0-cf37dba9d99e32b86c297e8e3b3441ae74bdc83c

Photile Live Wallpaper creates a LWP from any existing image. It adds a level of complexity to the images, while not overdoing it (a difficult task, I might add). It's elegant, smooth and beautiful. I could attempt to explain what it does exactly, but instead I will just share this video:

See what I mean?

Fring Brings Group Video Calling To Android, If You Can Get Into The Beta, That Is

Posted by in Applications, News

I can't tell you the amount of times that I've been on a video call with someone and suddenly realized that there needed to be a third, or even fourth, person involved. Fortunately, the folks over at Fring are there to save the day... sort of.  You see, they have this great new feature called Group Video Calling, but it's in a limited beta right now.

All cynicism aside, this is a pretty cool feature for those that actually use video calling a lot. There is no word on when the feature will come to the masses, but until then we have this nifty little video to show Fring's overwhelming excitement on the matter.

Fret Not, Sports Fans, The GO Dev Team Has Your Back - Meet GO Score

Posted by in Applications, News

The same team that brought us GO SMS, GO Launcher, GO Weather, and a figurative myriad of other goodies are back again - this time with an offering for all the sports fans out there. The aptly titled GO Score brings almost real-time soccer and basketball scores to your mobile, with a multitude of others sports in the works.

GO Score offers some really outstanding features, such as user defined audio/vibration notifications, game analysis, current and past scores, odds from multiple sources, and live chat with no prior registration required.

This app is still in its early stages, and the GO Dev team are asking for comments to make it better, so if you notice something that you don't like, or think of something you'd like to see, make sure to drop them a line.

Download: Test Android Market Reveals New Versions Of Music, Gallery, Clock And Camera

Posted by in Android OS, Applications, Apps/Games, Development, News

This probably isn't going to be nearly as exciting as the title might lead you to believe - though it's good news nonetheless.

Techfrom10's Samsung Galaxy S was accidentally given access to the test Android Market via an OTA update, and they stumbled upon some goodies while using it. The Market itself has undergone no noticeable changes aside from the addition of the "Content Rating" information publishers are now asked to include as part of their submissions to the Market, so there's not a lot to see on that end.

However, they did find new versions of Music (much like the previously leaked APK, but presumably a newer version), Desk Clock, Camera, and Gallery.
