A new Android app which borrows from a much loved gesture based feature found on webOS devices has just hit the Android Market. The app, called Wave Launcher, allows you to access predefined apps via a gesture irregardless of what application you in. Check out the press release below for the full details. Wave Launcher is an intuitive gesture-enabled quick action bar application that has just been released on the Android Market. The app borrows from a well-known and loved feature on WebOS devices such as the Palm-Pre which allows users to access their predefined apps and shortcuts instantly. The Wave Launcher App behaves as if it was integrated right into the Android OS, it is always accessible regardless of which application is currently running using a simple gesture: Swiping your finger from either the bottom or sides of the screen (configurable) towards the middle makes the wave launcher appear. Swipe left or right to select the desired app and raise your finger to launch it. “As an innovative company that specializes in Android development, we wanted to bring a unique application with unusual features such as system-wide gesture recognition” said Lior Gonnen, founder of MobileMerit which developed the app. "With the release of Wave Launcher for Android, we've delivered a fully configurable quick-launch solution." Notable features: - The wave can contain any application and any shortcut you can add to your home screen.- The wave is accessible anytime, regardless of which application is currently running.- The wave responds to your finger movement, it changes its shape, icon size, and icon transparency.- Can be enabled by swiping from the bottom, left side or right side of the screen.- Fully independent, doesn't need to replace your home-screen app.- Doesn't interfere with running applications.- Has a small memory footprint.- Doesn't affect battery-life.

With Android Honeycomb making its way on to the LG Optimus Pad, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and the Motorola Xoom, 3rd party developers have already began preparing tailored apps for these devices boasting larger real estate. WeatherBug app taken on the Android Honeycomb look-and-feel, which we describe as an almost surreal TRON-like skin. We've been singing praises about the Android Honeycomb UI ever since it first was showcased on the Motorola Xoom back at CES and still find it to be a fantastic looking interface that will be difficult to top (Android 3.1 anyone?). WeatherBug sticks with the dark blue overtones and gives us a weather app that features a widget panel design to allow users immediate access to their selected weather information, as well as a “Find Me” option to give you the weather on the go. It also now features high-resolution video that can truly be appreciated on the bigger Honeycomb tablet screens. Now if only the first line of Android Honeycomb tablets were available for purchase already (come on Best Buy, where the Xoom already?) Read More
