[Update: A winner has been chosen and contacted. They now have 48 hours to respond to our email. If we don't receive a response within 48 hours, we'll proceed to select a new winner.] Welcome, folks, to another IntoMobile giveaway. That’s right – this is the time where we selflessly give away stuff that we totally would love for ourselves to you, our dear and beloved readers. This week we’ve got a 16GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to give away courtesy of the fine folks at Taptu who are celebrating their app being featured in the Android Market and Samsung Apps. If you’re unfamiliar with Taptu, it’s a news reader app that allows you to mix and merge your favorite news sources, blogs, and social network streams such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to create a stream of content completely customized to you. Taptu also makes it easy to share any Read More

One of the handiest uses of tablets is for reading news articles because of the big screen and ease on the eyes. News feed app Taptu - DJ Your News excels in this category, making manipulating RSS feeds easy. Taptu’s greatest asset is its visual treatment of RSS feeds. Users can import streams of articles or information from just about anywhere, including Google Reader, Facebook or Twitter. You can also search for streams through Taptu’s “Stream Store” (although it won’t cost you anything) to find the news you’re interested in. When you have streams, Taptu arranges them in rows. A quick swipe sideways cycles the stories in a feed; a swipe down cycles the feeds. Tap on a story to read it – simple as that. While it at times suffers from some blurry photos, Taptu ultimately gives you a lot of control over your desired content and makes reading it Read More

of 11 Posted on 5 Sep 2011 at 09:00 We hunt down the best tablet-optimised apps for Android devices, from great games to essential business tools Android apps had a bad reputation in the first generation of tablets, with screen sizing causing issues for several apps originally designed for smartphones. The situation might remain imperfect, but we've sifted through the best software available for Android tablets, saving you time and potentially wasted money. (Note: application prices and availability are subject to change) PRESSREADER (Free - 7 free issues, 79p per issue or £23/month) The large screen of a tablet is perfect for reading, and for newspapers there’s no better app than Pressreader.

Taptu has updated the Android version of their popular news reader to version 1.3, and now brings the customization to a whole 'nother level.  The folks at Taptu call it being a "news DJ" and it fits.  You can mix your own news feeds from scratch, using Taptu's pre-loaded site feeds (they have thousands of popular blogs, magazines and newspapers), Bing's RSS search and feeds from your Google reader account to build and curate your own news stream.  You also can add your Facebook feed and Twitter timeline, and "like" or comment, and reply and retweet right from the Taptu app.  You're not restricted to one news stream either -- you could build one for Android news, one for local news, and one for Charlie Sheen if you like. #tigerblood Taptu has upped the bar with this one, and they kept it free for Android devices (Android 1.6 and up).  It's Read More

We had another busy week of Android apps and game releases. By now, you’ve likely gotten use to the fact there are going to be more apps that you know what to do with every seven days, so we thought we’d lend a hand in digging through the muck and finding the gems. Here’s a list of some of the new or revamped Android apps worth downloading this week. Below is a video showing the apps and text for those who prefer not to get a hands-on demonstration (you’re breaking my heart, folks). The latest edition of Android Apps Alert is titled “Warhawks and World Travelers” because there’s a game for fighting, an app for flying, and few features for fiddling away the day. Plus we’re fans of alliteration around these parts, so let’s get to it! Got somewhere to be next month or in the next hour? The official Orbitz.com Read More

They are presenting streams of information in a far easier to digest manner and generating lots of engagement. Think how long you might spend on an app like Tweetdeck and then work out what would happen if that way of consuming went even more mainstream, especially on tablets like the iPad. Well this appears to be the ambition of a new free Android and iPhone app which launches Read More

My Taptu arrived today as yet another social news reader that visualizes “streams” that interest you. That can include status updates on Facebook or Twitter, or the many RSS feeds available on the internet. My Taptu is similar to Pulse News Reader because it offers thumbnails along with headlines, which can be a more visually appealing way of reading the news. Unlike Pulse, My Taptu doesn’t read content within the app. It truncates RSS feeds and requires that users open articles in browser if they want to read the full text of the article. That severely limits the appeal for several users. While Taptu looks great and performs well, its current set-up might drive away people who prefer to read their RSS feeds within the app. But if you just want a way to hunt news stories in an app that is organized, visually appealing, and speedy, My Taptu should be Read More
