KODAK Pic Flick

| FREE | Eastman Kodak Company
The once dominant print film company Kodak has proven that it still has chops in the digital age by releasing the new Pic Flick app for Android. A free download, the app allows users to take a picture from their phone and send it wirelessly to the printer, making it easier than ever to get a permanent hard copy of the memories captured with your phone's camera. The app also lets users slightly modify the picture (crop, zoom, and rotate) before sending it to the printer. Users need a modern wireless printer from Kodak to use the app, and it must be connected to a broadband network. Read More

QikCam

| FREE | Web Factory
As the name suggests, the QikCam app for Android gives users the ability to add a widget to your phone's home screen that can take a quick image or record a video without fumbling around to find the app and wait for it to load. Simply point your camera at the desired target, tap the widget (there's an option to add a photo or video widget) and BOOM! your image or footage is recorded. From there, you can rename your content, select the resolution, and quickly share it via email or your favorite social media site. Nothing like searching through your extensive library of apps or typing the name of the app in the search box, while those precious moments pass you (and your smartphone's camera) by. The free QikCam app can help you capture those moments with the simple tap of your Android home screen. Read More

Postagram Postcards

| FREE | Sincerely Inc
Postagram is a cool way to send Instagram app photos taken with your iPhone as postcards. The cards are 1 buck a piece and they include all of the cool effects, filters, and titles, shipped to your family member's inbox (the REAL original mail inbox) in a matter of days. Postagram has launched an Android version that allows you to skip the Instagram app and either pull images from your phone's picture gallery, Facebook app, or you can take one with the Postagram app itself. You lose the cool effects you can add to photos if they were first taken with the Instagram app (since currently it's still an iOS only app), but you still keep the ability to add a 140-character message, and let Postagram print the images on thick, glossy postcards that you can send anywhere in the U.S. in under 5 days for only $.99 cents. That's a good deal and is an excellent way to send all of those cutsie pics to grandma or grandpa who haven't latched on to the whole social newtorking...or smartphone thing quite yet. Postagram is a free download from the Android Market Read More

Thrutu

| FREE | Metaswitch - Thrutu Team
Back in March we discussed Thrutu, an Android app that wanted to make the phone call a bit more social by adding games and other tools that you can use to share contacts, photos, and your location information while you're on the phone.  The service just announced an update today that allows users to quickly send money over a phone call via PayPal, use the location information for all parties on the phone to determine the best place for everyone to meet up in person, and a few games that can be played while you're on the line.  The same limitations that applied to the original version of Thrutu apply to this one: you need an Android phone, the person on the other end of the line needs to also have Thrutu installed, and your carrier has to support simultaneous voice and data. Thrutu users also can customize the app "drawer" that appears on the side of their screens when they place calls, so they can quickly access the features they use most often.  Many of the new games and tools are a bit gimmicky, like the "coin flip" button that allows you to flip a virtual coin right from the Android Phone screen, and the "Doodle" app that allows you to draw on your screen while on a call and then share the doodle with other parties on the call.  Some of the other additions are more useful however: the "shared search" utility is useful, and allows callers to search the web to settle a dispute or look up information together at the same time, as is the ability to send money instantly via PayPal.  All of the other features remain in the app: you can still send your location info to a friend with the Thrutu app installed, so Read More

Mozy

| FREE | Decho Corporation
Android users can now download the Mozy app from the Android Market and the Amazon App Store. Just like with the iOS app, the Mozy Android app lets users access all the files they've downloaded with Mozy, right on their Android device. Using the app, you can download anything saved and then use that downloaded file in other apps. For example, you can download a stored picture and then upload it to Facebook. There are a few restrictions on this, though. The app is currently only available to MozyHome users in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. Don't worry, though, because an update for MozyPro and other international customers is already in the works. Also, if you store your files encrypted, this app won't work for you: it doesn't decrypt files. The app is a free download.  Read More

Plan B

| FREE | Lookout Labs
One of the Lookout Mobile Security app's suite of features is that it has a location feature that will help you find your phone if it is lost or stolen. If you're like many people out there who believe "that will never happen to me" and opt NOT to invest in some sort of GPS-enabled, remote wipe utility on their device, and your phone IS lost or stolen, the Plan B app for Android offers just that, a plan B. The Plan B app can be installed and put into action AFTER the phone is gone. It works like this; log into your Google account tied to your phone, install Plan B over-the-air from the Android Market, and it will boot up, run in the background, activate the GPS radio, and send out its location via email. Open up the email and you will be taken to Google Maps with a location of your phone with fairly decent accuracy. The email that is sent out can only be viewed by the Google account tied to the phone. If for some reason Plan B failed to send an email, you can use somebody else's phone and text "locate" to your mobile number to prompt another email to be sent. If your phone is on the move, Plan B will send additional emails (up to 5) to refine its location. Pretty sweet, eh? With the free Plan B for Android app activated from the Android Market, you actually have a last ditch effort if your phone is ever stolen...or you had way too much fun last night at the party and can't find your phone. ...Ask the Apple employee that lost that iPhone 4 prototype last year in a bar that was subsequently "found" and "sold" to Gizmodo, if something like this would've Read More

XFINITY TV

| FREE | Comcast Interactive Media
Back in December, Comcast unveiled the Xfinity Mobile App for Android, which allowed you to check your Comcast e-mail account, view your contacts, get your voice-mail if you're an Xfinity Voice user, and browse listings for Xfinity television shows and on-demand programming. At the time, Comcast noted that an Xfinity TV app for Android like the one iOS users already had was in the works.  Now, Xfinity TV for Android is finally here, and it allows Comcast customers with Android phones or tablets to browse current television listings and on-demand content, and then control their TV using the app on their phones: essentially using their phone as a remote control.  The Xfinity TV app for Android has all of the features of the iPhone and iPad versions of the app, and once paired with your account allows you to change channels, tune directly to on-demand programs in the catalog, and more. The Xfinity TV app for Android is completely free, but does require a Comcast subscription to use. You also have to make sure you're using a compatible set-top box or DVR from Comcast that can accept commands from the app. Once you have the app installed on your phone and connected to your Comcast account, you can control your cable box or DVR anywhere you have your phone, even if you're away from home.  This means you can program your DVR to record your favorite shows for you if you won't be home to watch them, and you can change channels with your Android phone from your couch if you don't want to use the remote. The bigger benefit is that you can quickly browse through movies and TV shows in the On Demand catalog, and if you find something you'd like to watch, you don't have to go through Read More

Five Guys Burgers & Fries

| FREE | Five Guys
If you're not familiar with the Five Guys Burgers and Fries chain of restaurants, you're missing out on some tasty hamburger. With over 750 stores across the United States and Canada, the burger chain is known and loved in many places for its made-to-order hamburgers, dozens of topping choices, fresh-cut fries, and open kitchen that allows you to watch your custom burger being cooked and prepared just for you.  For a long time now customers could order by phone or on-line and skip the line when they get to the store to pick up their food, and now the company has unveiled a Five Guys Android app that allows you to customize your burger, place your order, and have it sent to your local Five Guys long before you get there. When you arrive, skip the register and just tell the pick-up counter your name - they'll bring you your meal. The Five Guys mobile app is available only for Android at the moment, and don't think this means that your food will be ready for you when you arrive: because Five Guys cooks everything fresh to order, they'll probably wait until you get there to assemble your burger and season your fries, but they will use the next patties off the grill for your order. It's still faster than waiting in line and then placing your order.  The app is free, and allows you to find the closes Five Guys franchise near you, get their address and phone number, and even add some of your closest restaurants to your favorites so you can order from them quickly. From there, you can tap the menu screen to select what you'd like to order, whether you want a burger, fries, a hot dog, and in some locations, another kind of sandwich.  The Read More

Tasker

| $6.49 | Crafty Apps
Most people when explaining their choice to go the Android route over any other mobile OS platform cite the fact that it is open-source - meaning, if you have skills, you can take the source code from the developer (Google) and craft up your very own personalized programs/applications/software to do whatever you want. Let's face it, most people who buy smartphones don't have the skills or time necessary to actually take on this sort of task. They just want a cool phone. For those who don't want to be limited to whatever the developer says their phone can do, but may not have the coding chops to do so, the folks behind the Tasker App haven taken that same open-source philosophy and crafted an Android app that gives users more control of their smartphone, no coding required. Tasker for Android performs tasks based on contexts (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined profiles, or in click-able or timer home screen widgets. This simple concept profoundly extends your control of your Android device and it's capabilities, without the need for 'root' or a special home screen. In other words, with Tasker you can create macros that carry out tasks which can be assigned to profiles that are executed by clicking widgets, applications, timed tasks, or by performing gestures on your device. There are pre-defined tasks built into Tasker for you to tweak, or create your own tasks to suit your needs. From the looks of the documentation, tasks can be created to perform any number of smartphone-related actions. The site lists more than 190 built-in actions available in 14 categories. From changing your alerts/notifications based on the time of day, to adjusting brightness according to battery life, to automatically uploading files when USB is connected, any action you can think of, Read More
