Android's Got That Spark

Looking for something new in the realm of the homescreen world? Well look no further than Spark. This little wonder is the latest in homescreen apps and the layout looks pretty good. Its not alot to it right now but its simple and looks great. The UI looks very neat and it links both Facebook and Twitter together nicely. Some other features include:

- Live Twitter and Facebook streaming

- Local daily deals with Groupon

- Real time and up to date News, Sports, and Entertainment streamed to your homescreen via CBS, AP, and SKY news.

- Update Facebook and Twitter at the same time.

- Shows current weather by your location in weather window.

From the looks of things, its just starting to get off the ground but if the Developer continues to work on the app then this could definitely turn into something. One thing I did notice was that there wasn't mulitple screens or a contact window. If you think this is cool but not as your homescreen, you can use it as a separate standalone app. Its a good start to something that can eventually stand amongst the greats in the launcher app department.

App Review: VEVO: For your music video pleasure

Looking for an app that allows you to view your favorite music video's? Well look no further then Vevo. This app allows you to search for your favorite music video's whether its Ricky Martin or Nicki Minaj. This app also comes with a bunch of nice features like playlists, top video's and a detailed search engine to find your favorite artist video's.

The view quality also has the option to play in gorgeous HQ and it runs on both 3G and WiFi and it plays at full screen which is a definite plus if your using a 4in device or greater. Its available now in the Android Marketplace and the iPhone App Store right now and definitely give this a try.

New IM App LiveProfile Beta

XDA-forum was nice enough to alert the Android community of a new instant message app called LiveProfile Beta. This app allows you to instant message friends in real time and crosses all platforms like Blackberry, Android, and iPhone.
From what i got to look at, the user interface looks pretty good, even better than Pingchat (if you still use that.) It does have a four star rating in the Android Marketplace and hopefully the speed is better than other IM apps that boast the cross platform ability. Check out the link below and give it a shot.

That Android And His Angry Birds

If you have a Android device, today is truly a good day. Angry Birds has officially came out to the Android market and the best part of all......its free. The game developer Rovio announced this today. Rovio says, “We want to make Angry Birds available for as many people as possible. Previously, many people were experiencing problems in finding Angry Birds on Android Market, but now everybody can download the game on their device.” I think Rovio deserves a slow clap for this one for making a cash cow a free game on the android market don't u think? But that makes me wonder why would they do that? Is there something new that we might see coming from them? A sequel, or maybe a new title your thoughts please.

Skype Finally available in the Android Market

For those who have been looking for a good calling alternative, Skype is now available in the Android Market. You do, however, have to be running 2.1 and up in order to see it and download it from the Android Market. Skype allows free Skype to Skype calls, instant messaging, and allows you to make phone calls over Wifi.

Another plus is that it is unrestricted in the U.S., but if your calling from outside the U.S., you can still make phone calls over 3G. Another thing the company has mentioned is that its still not available in China or Japan. So go ahead and download it and enjoy all that Skype goodness.
