Microsoft OneNote Arrives On The Android Market, Uses Your SkyDrive To Sync Notes, Is Gorgeous

Eric Ravenscraft — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:09:28 +0000

Google Docs on Android is, to put it politely, crap. While the app was recently updated with a nice tablet interface for viewing documents, editing them has always been kind of a pain, and ugly to boot. Microsoft is stepping up to save the day with their simple, elegant OneNote app for Android. Because screw your expectations.

The only downside seems to be that if you already have .one files on your Android device, OneNote won't read them. Disappointing for already-avid users, but for the rest of us, OneNote will act very similarly to Google Docs by syncing ...

[New App] App Timer Mini Uses An Exceedingly Simple Concept To Effectively Enforce Time Management

Liam Spradlin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:00:44 +0000

KF Software House recently introduced a solution for the more time-constrained Android users among us, releasing App Timer Mini to the Android Market. App Timer Mini (ATM) does exactly what you may expect after reading its name. The app allows users to observe and track how long they spend using certain apps by placing a handy timer in the corner of your screen.

App Timer Mini's functionality is just as simple as it should be – users can select apps to be monitored, and customize the timer's aesthetics. When activated, ATM will automatically show a tiny timer in ...

Google Introduces Chrome To Mobile Beta – Send Live URLs To Chrome For Android In A Snap

Liam Spradlin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:37:57 +0000

It looks like users lucky enough to be running Google's Chrome for Android Beta now have access to another sweet treat – Chrome to Mobile Beta. Reminiscent of Chrome to Phone, Chrome to Mobile Beta is an extension for both desktop and mobile versions of Chrome that enables users to send live URLs from their computer to an Ice Cream Sandwich-powered mobile device, also allowing copies to be sent for offline viewing.

The extension is available for both smartphones and tablets, as long as they're running Ice Cream Sandwich with Chrome for Android Beta.

Chrome to Mobile certainly seems ...

Google Voice For Android Updates To 0.4.2.44, Adds New UI For ICS Devices And Tablets

David Ruddock — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:38:15 +0000

Google Voice received its first major update in some time earlier today, undergoing a major UI refresh for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich devices (Gingerbread devices only see minor changes, such as the app icon), as well as new interface for Honeycomb and ICS tablets. Under the hood, SMS offline message queuing is now supported and works for multiple recipients.

Unfortunately, it still is ungodly slow to load on my Gingerbread phone, and scrolls like something from Android 1.6. I hear it's a lot smoother on Ice Cream Sandwich, though. Hit up the Market to download it now.

Seesmic Updated For The First Time In Many Months - Brings Several Bug Fixes, Drops Google Buzz Support

Cameron Summerson — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:31:18 +0000

Who remembers Seesmic? Once upon a time, it was revered as the go-to Twitter/Facebook client for Android, until it stopped getting updated. Bugs started occurring more and more often, many of which made the client nearly useless to most people.

Today, though, Seesmic saw its first update in many months - one that we hope fixes the majority of bugs that have been plaguing the app for far too long. Here's the full changelog:

This version addresses various bug fixes and minor updates including:

[Hands On] ICS Enhanced Ringer Control Is A Ridiculously Simple App To Control Notification And Ringer Volumes Independently In ICS

Cameron Summerson — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:50:00 +0000

While I love most everything about my Galaxy Nexus, Google made one ridiculous omission in Android 4.0: they removed the ability to set separate notification and ringer volumes. On my previous phone, Tasker was set up to automatically mute notification tones and turn the ringer volume to three at 11:00 PM as long as the phone was on charge. This way, I wasn't bothered with constant email notifications throughout the night, but if someone needed to call during the late hours, it would wake me up.

With ICS, however, this isn't possible - the ringer and notification volumes are always ...

[New Game] Draw Something Is Like Words With Friends For People Who Have Better Drawing Skills Than Vocabulary

Eric Ravenscraft — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:31:00 +0000

Chances are you're one of the everyone-on-the-planet who's played Words With Friends. Did you know there's other, shall we say, homages to classic board games available for your Android phone? For example, here we have ~~Pictionary~~ Draw Something, a turn-based, doodle-guessing game that you can play with friends wherever they are.
