Droid App of the Week


This week's Droid app of the week is TV.COM app by CBS.This app lets you access videos on your Android through WIFI or 3G. With this app you can get clips of your favorite shows from CBS, the CW, CNET, ET, Showtime, CBS News, CBS Sports and much more. There are even full episodes of some shows albeit older ones. Not all shows from these networks offer full episodes but the ones that are, are cool. For example classic Star Trek episodes are available here. Pretty cool huh! For Dexter fans there are clips to access to catch up on episodes. For me personally this app is awesome because Smallville clips are on it. So if you like any shows on said networks this app is for you.

Happy Thanksgiving


To all my fellow Droiders out there and fellow techies, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your day and eat as much turkey as you can!

Droid App of the Week


This week's Droid app of the week is Google Earth app for Android. Like its desktop predecessor you can do lots of stuff with this app. You can view the same 3D images like the desktop one. With the touch of a button you can fly to your current location. Multi-touch is also an option, meaning you can pan, zoom, and tilt as you travel the world. You can search for places with this through Google search as well as voice search. Then there are layers in which you can view layers of geographical info including roads, borders, Panoramio pics, and more. The only downside is it's only available on Android phones that have Android OS 2.1 and up.

Angry Birds Update

Well if you don't already know, Angry Birds pushed out a major update. There are new features and levels in this update. The game now supports QVGA graphics so smaller screened phones will not have a problem playing it. Also Angry Birds plushed toys are available for preorder on shop.angrybirds.com just in time for Christmas. Look for the update in the Market or Getjar.

Verizon news

The HTC Incredible will be getting a software update this week over the air from Verizon. It will include software enhancements that includes installing V Cast Apps to the Android platform. The Incredible will be the first phone to receive the update and the other Verizon Android devices should follow soon after. Looks like there will be plenty of competition for the Android Market. Also in other news, HTC wants to get into the app business for its phones. Looks like things might start getting interesting for Android.
