<p>Google plans to make their Android devices pay for your purchases in stores by offering a mobile payment service. The company is currently in talks with MasterCard and Citigroup which it plans to partner with in their latest service.</p>

</div>
<p>People who own android devices simply have to wave their smartphones over a reader to pay for their purchases. This is made possible by an NFC (Near Field Communication) sensor which will be included inside every <strong><a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/tag/android/">Android device</a></strong> starting this year.</p>
<p>Google will not get a cut out of the transaction fees. The company plans to target people with specific ads and discounts that match their profiles and location.</p>

<p>Those concerned about security over this wireless payment method should be pleased to know that it is much more secure than swiping your physical credit card. The payment information is much harder to steal since the technology involved is much more complex than that of the magnetic stripe.</p>
<p>Google plans to launch this service within the year.</p>

<p><strong>Mozilla</strong> released a new <strong>Firefox 4</strong> beta version for PCs and laptops recently which is featuring much expanded support for the 3-D graphics with a revamped Firefox add-on manager. Mozilla introduced several of the enhancements to the mobile release of Firefox 4 beta on the mobile side for the smartphones which is based on <strong><a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/tag/android-os/">Google Android OS</a></strong> and even Maemo platforms of Nokia. The new 3-D enhancements of popular browser which are based on WebGL which is an open standard for the accelerated <em>3-D graphics</em> which render on the web and that actually eliminates the need of users to install a special plug-in. for that reason, developers are able to render dynamic visual experiences directly inside the browser window. This is confirmed by Firefox Product Manager Mike Beltzner.</p>
<div id="attachment_4461" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/firefox4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4461" title="Mozilla Firefox 4" src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/firefox4-300x225.jpg" alt="Mozilla Firefox 4" width="300" height="225" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Mozilla Firefox 4</p>
</div>
<p>Beltzner says in his blog that <em>Firefox 4</em> beta this time supports <em>WebGL</em> for majority of the modern built-in graphics cards making the whole thing easier for the developers to create these interactive 3-D games with vivid graphics and a new visual experience for the internet without the usage of third-party plug-ins.  The applications which previously would have been possible only on the desktop, they work well with possible plug-ins in any modern browser which supports WebGL. More over those <em>3-D games</em>, interactive product displays, scientific and medical visualization, shared virtual environments, and 3-D content creation all become possible on the web with this browser.</p>
<div id="attachment_4462" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 205px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/images1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4462" title="Mozilla Firefox" src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/images1.jpg" alt="Mozilla Firefox" width="205" height="240" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Mozilla Firefox</p>
</div>
<p>The same <em>3D API</em> used for Android and iOS development <em>WebG</em>L is based on OpenGL ES 2.0 observed by Vukicevic.  With Mozilla&#8217;s work on HTML5 by including WebGL with video and audio support, it is supported by Firefox 4 beta. A full set of web technologies for the building rich and compelling applications on the web, he wrote. According to <em>Vukicevic WebGL</em> focuses on OpenGL ES 2.0 feature compatibility which ensures the content compatibility with mobile devices. However, in various desktop features may also be available in WebGL in the form of extensions when ES 2.0 is behind this latest advances on the desktop today.</p>
<div id="attachment_4463" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Firefox-4-Beta-7.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4463" title="Mozilla Firefox 4 Features" src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Firefox-4-Beta-7-300x218.png" alt="Mozilla Firefox 4 Features" width="300" height="218" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Mozilla Firefox 4 Features</p>
</div>
<p>Now <em>Firefox 4</em> beta includes the streamlined <a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/why-firefox-may-be-doomed-to-a-slow-death/"><strong>Firefox</strong></a> Sync setup to acquire the same address-bar history, open tabs, bookmarks, and passwords across PCs and laptops as well as smartphones running Android. For instance, web developers have made some huge and significant UI improvements to make to set up new accounts and devices for Firefox Sync easier and faster which is noted by project manager for Firefox Sync, Ragavan Srinivasan.</p>
<div id="attachment_4464" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/firefox_4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4464" title="Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta" src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/firefox_4-300x143.jpg" alt="Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta" width="300" height="143" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta</p>
</div>
<p>The new mobile version of Firefox 4 beta makes the discovery like the PC counterpart of add-ons easier and also simplifies Firefox Sync setup. The importance for the mobile users reduces the amount of typing needed to securely access browsing history, tabs and passwords and bookmarks.</p>

<p>You may have already heard about Android version 3, code named <strong><a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/android-3-0-gingerbread-features-overview-and-release-date/">Android 3.0 Gingerbread</a></strong> (the version and code name is still subject to change). The new OS is supposed to be released by the end of 2010, but the Software Development Kit for developers will come out as soon as next week.</p>
<p>This is still only a rumor, but it definitely wouldn’t be a surprise, as developers need to work on their apps to be compatible with the future Android release as soon as possible and weed out any bugs by the time updates are available for existing phones or new <strong><a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/the-new-android-os-android-3-0-gingerbread/">Android 3 phones</a></strong> are released.</p>
<div id="attachment_3146" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/android-3-gingerbread.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/android-3-gingerbread-300x200.jpg" alt="Android 3.0 Gingerbread" title="Android 3.0 Gingerbread" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-3146" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Android 3.0 Gingerbread</p>
</div>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/android-3-0-gingerbread-features-overview-and-release-date/">Android 3.0 Gingerbread</a></strong> will bring support for new technologies, improved media capabilities, a faster and more refined UI that is integrated deeper into the core (which should remove the need for third party UIs like Motorola’s terrible MotoBlur), support for higher resolutions and other improvements. The OS is highly anticipated, even more so than version 2.2, which finally brought support for Flash in the Android Web browser.</p>
<p>The SDK itself includes quite a few updates that will enable app development for the new Android 3.0 Gingerbread. The sensor, geo fixation and telephony issues have finally been sorted out, and among the features added are the support for custom USB Vendor IDs, a new Google API add-on which provides an updated external library, the ability to restore any permissions when you uninstall an upgraded app, and much more.</p>
<p>We’ll just have to wait and see if the new SDK will actually be released next week or if this is just a rumor coming from the over excited Android fans. I do hope it’s the former, though.</p>

<p>Most of the people who own an Android phone (or any other smartphone) will probably want to use it to keep their LinkedIn profile and Facebook status updated, chat with other users and send and read the latest tweets on Twitter.</p>
<p>And of course, developers have already created apps that help you do exactly that. In fact, there are so many, it’s confusing. Below is a list of the best Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn client apps, reviewed and voted by users and regularly updated and maintained by the developers (a big downside of using an unmaintained application is that it can stop working or crash at any time and no one will help you or update/fix it).</p>
<p><strong>DroidIn</strong></p>
<p> This is the first and only (for now) LinkedIn app for Android, but it has all the features you may need, so it should be enough for most users. It supports inbox, updates notification and can also post the status to Twitter (though that feature is a bit buggy in 1.7.3). There are 2 versions, Lite and Paid &#8211; the former has a few features disabled and is showing ads when you use it, so if you think they’ll be annoying, you can buy the Paid version for $2.</p>
<div id="attachment_916" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/droidin_screenshot.png"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/droidin_screenshot-200x300.png" alt="DroidIn- Android Apps" title="DroidIn- Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-916" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">DroidIn</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Twidroid</strong></p>
<p> This is the leading Twitter client for Android. It has all the features you may need and is fast, stable and constantly updated. You can view and post tweets, pictures and videos, shorten URL’s, share tweets via email and sms, reply and reply-to-all, and do many more things. The free version is a bit limited (no support for multiple backgrounds, no reply-to-all, no desktop widgets, a few other features are missing) , but should be enough for most basic users. The paid version is $5 and includes lifetime support and features like shake for refresh, tweet outbox (schedule tweets when offline), multiple accounts, and a few other cool things.</p>
<div id="attachment_917" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Twidroid_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Twidroid_screenshot-300x200.jpg" alt="Twidroid- Android Apps" title="Twidroid- Android Apps" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-917" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Twidroid</p>
</div>
<p><strong>TweetsRide</strong></p>
<p>Formerly called TwitterRide, this application is a simple, light and fast Twitter client. It has only the basic features, nothing more. This makes it ideal for those who just want to read and post tweets and pictures. The latest update also includes video upload (through TwitVid), but you should use it with care, as it could eat all your data bandwidth.</p>
<div id="attachment_918" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 211px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/TweetsRide_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/TweetsRide_screenshot-211x300.jpg" alt="TweetsRide- Android Apps" title="TweetsRide- Android Apps" width="211" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-918" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">TweetsRide</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Facebook for Android</strong></p>
<p> Although not developed by Facebook (as a lot of people thought when it was launched), it seems that this free app is officially supported and endorsed by them (they even have it on their Facebook mobile page), so you can be sure that it will most probably work fine. It is a good piece of software, has all the basic features one might need and is maintained by the developer. It comes pre-installed with a lot of devices and you can install it yourself if you don’t have it. This should be the first app you try for Facebook. If it doesn’t work, try the others.</p>
<div id="attachment_919" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Facebook_for_Android_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Facebook_for_Android_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="Facebook for Android- Android Apps" title="Facebook for Android- Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-919" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Facebook for Android</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Bloo</strong></p>
<p>It may not be obvious from the name alone, but this application is actually a Facebook client for Android. It has all the basic features like status update, commenting, viewing photos, etc. It should be more than enough for most users. A lot of people have reported problems with the free version, and even the developer says that you should get the paid version (which is only $1), but you can try it before buying. </p>
<div id="attachment_920" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Bloo_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Bloo_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="Bloo- Android Apps" title="Bloo- Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-920" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Bloo</p>
</div>
<p><strong>fooBook</strong></p>
<p>Another Facebook client for Android. It technically has the most features, but a lot of users are reporting that it doesn’t work right, so you need to try it for yourself. The free version is only missing the ability to post comments and do on-demand resyncing, otherwise all the features are the same. The paid version is on $1.50, so it could be worth it if the free one works on your phone.</p>
<div id="attachment_921" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fooBook_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fooBook_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="fooBook - Android Apps" title="fooBook - Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-921" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">fooBook</p>
</div>
<p>The above are the best apps for LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, and I’m sure many more will appear in the following months. What would be really great is one single app for managing all accounts at these 3 social networks. That would be awesome because you wouldn’t have to launch 3 separate apps (and waste your battery time) to see what’s going on online and keep your status updated. It’s quite easy to do for a good programmer (the API is there and it’s open, you just have to implement it) and I’m sure we’ll see something like this, if not this year, then the next.</p>

<p>Even though at first, the Android operating system was developed and used by tech-savvy people and software developers, it eventually reached the point where anyone can use it, being just as easy to use as the iPhone or a Windows Mobile device.</p>
<p>That is why the OHA (Open Handset Alliance – the consortium of companies that currently own and promote the OS) is creating a lot of new consumer-oriented smartphones and MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices) running on Android.</p>
<p>The last year has seen a significantly higher amount of mainstream and entertainment apps being launched on the Android Marketplace. This year, even more are coming. Games, organizers, emulators, ftp clients, web browsers – a lot of very useful and advanced apps are currently available for anyone to use on an Android device.</p>
<p>Below, we’ll take a look at the best and most popular media players that will allow you to listen to your favorite music and radio stations and watch your favorite shows, movies and online videos.</p>
<p><strong>MixZing. </strong></p>
<p>This app is said to be the most advanced music player available for the Android OS, and judging by user reviews, it really is so. It has a lot of nice features like automatically finding and downloading artist info, photos, videos and missing album art and a nice feature called “Mood Player”, which works sort of like the iTunes Genius, playing music similar to the one you listen the most (and therefore, like the most). And you can’t beat the price – it’s totally free!</p>
<p><div id="attachment_837" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MixZing_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MixZing_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="MixZing - Android Apps" title="MixZing - Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-837" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">MixZing - Android Apps</p>
</div>.</p>
<p><strong>Act 1 Video Player.</strong></p>
<p> This app is the best video player for Android, according to all the user reviews you can find online. It can play most video file formats; it’s stable and not too demanding on the hardware. The controls are simple and it even supports Bluetooth media keys, but unfortunately, still lacks playlist support, although when you play 20-30 minutes long video files, it’s not that hard to just open another one manually. There is a free trial version, but the full version will cost you $1.50, which is not much considering you’ll get free updates for life and it’s pretty much the only video player you’ll ever need.</p>
<div id="attachment_838" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Act1_Video_player_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Act1_Video_player_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="Act 1 Video Player - Android Apps" title="Act 1 Video Player - Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-838" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Act 1 Video Player - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Meridian Player.</strong></p>
<p> This is a great video and music player, and it’s pretty much the best (and only) all-in-one media player available on the marketplace. It will play most video and audio files, has a clean interface and a few nice advanced features like searching for lyrics to songs and subtitles to movies, editing ID3 tags, rating files and controlling the app via gestures. The price is acceptable, too – it’s completely free!</p>
<div id="attachment_839" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Meridian_player_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Meridian_player_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="Meridian Player - Android Apps" title="Meridian Player - Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-839" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Meridian Player - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Video Player. </strong></p>
<p>This aptly named application is, well, a video player. It works quite well, it’s stable, but it only supports Mpeg-4 and 3GPP encoded files, so it’s a bit limiting. But if you convert all your videos on your desktop PC, you should be fine. It has one unique feature that other players lack, and that is resuming playback – it works for all the files you play. The controls are simple, the performance is good, and it’s free – enough for 95% of all users.</p>
<div id="attachment_840" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Video_player_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Video_player_screenshot-300x200.jpg" alt="Video Player - Android Apps" title="Video Player - Android Apps" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-840" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Video Player - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Cinema.</strong></p>
<p> This is a very simple video player with a very simple name. It’s completely free; it’s very stable and has the highest performance around due to the use of the hardware decoder available on most new Android phones (like the Nexus One and the Droid). The controls are unique, too – it has no buttons, you control it using gestures (tap your finger on the screen to play/pause, double-tap to fullscreen, swipe left/right for quick rewind/forward, etc.). The only drawback is that it supports only h.264 encoded files in mp4 and 3gp formats, but the performance of the playback more than makes up for this.</p>
<div id="attachment_841" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Cinema_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Cinema_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="Cinema - Android Apps" title="Cinema - Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-841" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Cinema - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p>Of course, these apps will evolve and the next versions will be even more powerful and functional, plus many more new players will be released, so you should always stay updated with what’s happening on the Android Marketplace.</p>

<p>If you’re a small business owner or just a person who likes to keep an eye out for any unwanted expenses, the first thing you’ll want to do after buying a new Android phone is find a few good applications that will help you manage your money wherever you are.</p>
<p>And of course, you will find them! There are a lot of great apps on the Android Marketplace, and unlike Windows Mobile or the iPhone, a lot of them are completely free. This is one of the good things that come with owning a phone running on open source software.</p>
<p>Here are some of the best Android apps that will help you keep your finances in check and save money.</p>
<p><strong>Loot</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_714" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/loot_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/loot_screenshot-210x300.jpg" alt="Loot - Android Apps" title="Loot - Android Apps" width="210" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-714" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Loot - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p> This is a very simple, free Android application that is designed to help you keep track of all the money you spend, receive and currently have in your bank accounts or in cash. It doesn’t have a direct connection to your bank (like the desktop MS Money), so it’s very secure (although some may see that as a drawback). It’s very easy to add new entries, so you can do it quickly whenever buying something at your local store or in any other place. Now you can ditch your old paper checkbook (if you had one), and replace it with an app on your phone, which is no doubt always with you.</p>
<p><strong>DroidSense </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_715" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/droidsense_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/droidsense_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="DroidSense - Android Apps" title="DroidSense - Android Apps" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-715" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">DroidSense - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p>This is a good tool to have if you own a website and earn money from Google Adsense. It basically allows you to view and analyze your AdSense earnings and performance (clicks, impressions, CTR, etc.) directly from your phone. If you like to view stats (especially when you’re earning a lot of money <img src='http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  and try to maximize your earnings by improving your ad positions and click through rate, you’ll likely find this app very useful. The only major drawback is that it is not free, but at 1 euro, it’s totally worth it, especially when you consider that you get guaranteed quick customer support.</p>
<p><strong>My Coupons</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_716" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 195px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/my_coupons_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/my_coupons_screenshot-195x300.jpg" alt="My Coupons - Android Apps" title="My Coupons - Android Apps" width="195" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-716" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">My Coupons - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p> A great free Android app that helps you manage any coupons you have. But that is by a long shot not everything it can do! It also has an integrated search system that you can use to find good, non-expired coupons (from top online coupon sites). You can share any coupons you like with your friends by Tweeting, emailing or posting them on Facebook directly from this application. And if that’s not enough, you can also use your GPS to find any valid coupons (you can even use voice search) for the stores in you vicinity and compare prices by barcode from various shops. And yes, you get all of this for free!</p>
<p><strong>Pocket Auctions </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_718" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pocket_auctions_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pocket_auctions_screenshot-300x200.jpg" alt="Pocket Auctions- Android Apps" title="Pocket Auctions- Android Apps" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-718" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Pocket Auctions- Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p> As the name implies, this app is designed to bring eBay to your pocket. You can use it to search, view and buy items, place bids, view your account and much more! This can come in very handy when you’re not in front of your computer, but need to watch an ending auction closely and possibly place the last bid to win it. With Pocket Auctions, you can view the timer and click the Bid button at the last second (of course, you’d need a stable Wifi, 3G or EDGE connection). Best of all, it’s also completely free!</p>
<p><strong>ShopSavvy</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_719" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 199px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/shopsavvy_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/shopsavvy_screenshot-199x300.jpg" alt="ShopSavvy - Android Apps" title="ShopSavvy - Android Apps" width="199" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-719" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">ShopSavvy - Android Apps</p>
</div>
<p> Last but not the least, a great Android app that was specifically created to help you find the best price on any product. Here’s how it works – you just take a picture of the barcode of the product you need (using your phone’s camera) and the software automatically searches the Web for the best price. It will show you the cheapest prices and the locations of the nearest stores where you can find that product. You can save quite a lot of money sometimes, like when buying a laptop or an electronic appliance – chances are that a store a few blocks further has a discount or rebate of a few tens or hundred dollars.</p>
<p>These are the top 5 Android apps that will help you manage and save money wherever you are, directly from your phone. There are a lot of other apps, but these have received the best reviews and are the most advanced. And as you can see, 4 of them are free, which makes them even better.</p>

<p>There are already thousands of apps for Android, both free and paid, and the list is growing every day. Android phones are being released and sold like delicious cupcakes, with the user base gaining percentage every day, stealing users from the almost defunct Windows Mobile and the “a-bit-behind-time” iPhone platforms.</p>
<p>One thing that is hard to do on Android is find good and worthy apps. Even using Google Search, it’s kind of hard to find something that will suit you, as there are a lot of apps that are missing a certain feature or have been abandoned and are no longer supported. But that is not to say that you can’t!<br />
On the contrary, because of the open source code and the loyal developer base, there are hundreds of apps that can do exactly what you need, nothing less, and nothing more. The big majority of free apps are created by users of the operating system themselves, so they do exactly what people need and solve an existing problem. </p>
<p>This is unlike the “by developers &#8211; for users” software creation process used by a lot of software companies. Often developers and programmers are given a task to create an application, but they don’t know what real users want, so they end up creating something beautiful, yet practically useless.<br />
Anyway, this article is not about the different existing software design and creation philosophies, but about 5 very cool and interesting Android apps that you absolutely should check out. Here they are:</p>
<p><strong>Talk to me:</strong></p>
<p> This amazing free app translates anything you say or write into another language. Yes, it’s a real time speech-to-speech personal translator! Granted, it’s not as accurate as a human, it can still help you a lot if you’re in a foreign country or are talking to a foreign tourist who’s asking for directions. How can such a powerful app be completely free? Well, it’s not that complicated, actually. It is a clever automated front-end that uses the Android Voice Recognition and Text to Speech together with Google Translate to do what it does. And it works very well! The only thing you’ll need is a stable and relatively fast (EDGE, which is common all over the world, would suffice) Internet connection for when you want to use it.</p>
<div id="attachment_611" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Talk_to_me_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Talk_to_me_screenshot-210x300.jpg" alt="Talk to me" title="Talk to me" width="210" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-611" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Talk to me</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Layar Reality Browser: </strong></p>
<p>This is an Augmented Reality (AR) application that is simply very cool to use. It’s like you’re in one of those futuristic movies where the computer tells the user everything they want to know about their surroundings. Layar does that by using all the information and data provided by its large base of users, as well as the integration with Twitter and Facebook. So, when you’re in a new town and want to eat something, you can hold your phone up, search for the best café and you’ll see a list of pointers (using a superimposed layer on top of real time camera footage) for the closest cafes. You can also use the GPS to navigate to a place, see the latest Tweets and Facebook updates of the people near you (using Layar’s location data and face recognition), see the main tourist attractions, meetings you can attend and do many other interesting things. You just have to try it out!</p>
<div id="attachment_612" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Layar_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Layar_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="Layar Reality Browser" title="Layar Reality Browser" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-612" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Layar Reality Browser</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Google Voice:</strong></p>
<p> This application comes preinstalled with newer Android 2.0 phones like the Nexus One and Motorola Droid. It allows you to make cheap calls over the Internet to any phone number in the world and send SMS to any mobile number. You get your own number from Google, which you can use just like a regular phone. A huge benefit is that you can make calls over any WiFi network, which can reduce the money you spend on minutes significantly. A very interesting and useful feature is the automatic transcription, which transcribes any voice mail received into text, so you can read it instead of listening. This saves you a lot of bandwidth and time. You can also quickly translate any text to a wide selection of languages using Google Translate.</p>
<div id="attachment_615" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/google_voice_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/google_voice_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="Google Voice" title="Google Voice" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-615" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Google Voice</p>
</div>
<p><strong>aTrackDog:</strong></p>
<p> I said in the beginning of this article that Android apps are a bit hard to find. Well, aTrackDog partially solves this problem by giving you access to a database bigger than the official Marketplace, where you can find a lot more useful applications which you never would’ve found otherwise. It works like the Marketplace, but uses an additional database (a more open-source, user maintained one) to search for apps you may need.</p>
<div id="attachment_613" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aTrackDog_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aTrackDog_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="aTrackDog" title="aTrackDog" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-613" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">aTrackDog</p>
</div>
<p><strong>The Schwartz Unsheathed:</strong></p>
<p>This app brings the Force to you. Or at least a lightsaber an imaginary lightsaber. Still, it’s lots of fun for when you have nothing else better to do or want to surprise a Star Wars fan with something he’s never seen before (and believe me, they’ve seen a lot <img src='http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . The schwartzsaber can change colors and make swinging sounds just like in the movies using the phone’s accelerometer as a sensor. The sounds are pretty convincing, too, especially on the Motorola Droid.</p>
<div id="attachment_614" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/schwartz_unsheathed_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/schwartz_unsheathed_screenshot-200x300.jpg" alt="The Schwartz Unsheathed" title="The Schwartz Unsheathed" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-614" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">The Schwartz Unsheathed</p>

<p>There are a lot of things you can do with your Android phone: listen to music, surf the web, watch vides, play beautiful games, create blog posts, audiocasts and videocasts, and much more. But have you ever thought of editing photographs and images on it? You can even design <a href="http://www.wristbands-direct.com/">custom silicone wristbands</a> too with this apps.</p>
<p>With the advent of faster processors and memory chips, this has become a reality. Sure, you could do it on old devices if you had the software, but it took much more time and it was harder. With the newest stuff, this has become a fast and easy thing to do. iPhone users have had a simple photo editing tool since the 2.0 operating system update and many have found it useful and essential when choosing their next phone.</p>
<div id="attachment_507" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Google-Android-G111.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Google-Android-G111-300x300.jpg" alt="Google Android" title="Google Android" width="300" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-507" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Google Android</p>
</div>
<p>Why would you need to edit photos on your smartphone? Well, let’s say for example that you need to take a picture of something using the integrated camera and send it via email or MMS to someone. And you also want to add your annotations and comments for some parts of the image. If you have a photo editing app, you can quickly resize the picture (to save bandwidth), crop the parts you don’t need and add text comments right where you need. </p>
<p>I believe you can see how this can be very useful. And with the apps being free and light on resources, there’s no reason not to try this. Here are 2 of the best (and for now, the only) Android apps that will enable you to edit any photographs and images right on your smartphone:</p>
<p><strong>Photoshop.com Mobile.</strong></p>
<p> I believe most of you know about Photoshop – the leading professional photo editor and design software for desktop computers from Adobe. And now they have a mobile version for Android, with the only exception being that this one is completely free! You can edit, resize, crop and color-correct any of your photos right on your mobile device. You can also add special effects like Sepia and Vignette or soften the focus of the image with one touch. </p>
<div id="attachment_505" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/photoshop_mobile_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/photoshop_mobile_screenshot-300x200.jpg" alt="Photoshop Mobile Screenshot" title="Photoshop Mobile Screenshot" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-505" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Photoshop Mobile Screenshot</p>
</div>
<p>When you’re done with all your pictures, you can upload them to your Photoshop.com account and browse all your online and local photos using the program’s intuitive interface. It’s a great application to have, with the only possible drawback being the apparent lack of more advanced features, especially when compared to the desktop version.</p>
<p><strong>PicSay.</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_506" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 203px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/picsay_screenshot.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/picsay_screenshot-203x300.jpg" alt="PicSay Screenshot" title="PicSay Screenshot" width="203" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-506" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">PicSay Screenshot</p>
</div>
<p> This application is a more advanced photo editor for Android. It has the same features as Photoshop.com Mobile plus a lot of advanced effects like warp, lasso and cloning. It gives you much more freedom when editing your photos and the effects are very easy to apply and fun to use. Great for parties and fast edits. The Pro version has all of the possible effects and editing features and costs $4, while the free version gives you only the basic features (comparable to Photoshop Mobile) and only a few standard effects. You should check it out anyway, as even the free version is a very good app to have with you anywhere you go. </p>
<p>So there, now you know what software to use when you need to quickly edit any photographs or images that you want, whenever you want and wherever you are, right on your mobile device running the Android OS.</p>

<p>Here are a few Android apps that will make your ears happy, warn you of storms and keep you eating right. If you do not believe that, take a quick look at this short article and become a believer. </p>
<div id="attachment_474" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">

<p>If you have an HTC Droid Eris, an HTC MyTouch or a Motorola Droid, you are in luck. You have a great music app for your android phone. The &#8220;<strong>Slacker Radio</strong>&#8221; app is going to give your phone a streaming audio property similar to the &#8220;Pandora&#8221; application for other phones. There is a free and a paid version. The free version is available from the market store from google. You can set up online radio stations to stream your music from and the free version will also cache ( store ) the song for you. The information about the album and author is visible and it is possible to vote on it with SMS or MMS. If you do not like a song, you can block it. The free version has these things in limited availability, but it you have no limits in the paid version. If you happen to have a Verizon channel, you can download Slacker Radio from them also.  </p>
<div id="attachment_471" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 159px">

<p>If you are outside a lot, do you want to know ahead of time what the weather is going to do ? Your Android phone can handle that. There is a powerful app called &#8220;<strong>Weatherbug</strong>&#8221; that will keep you out of the rain. When you download the app, it looks for your location on the first use. After it &#8220;finds&#8221; you, your location becomes the &#8220;person&#8221; icon on the screen. On the homescreen of Weatherbug it takes you to the current condition of the past day. It will tell you how much rain you had that day and the low and high. Not only can you view the weekly forecast, you can view an hourly forecast. If that is not handy, what is ? Click on the &#8220;alert&#8221; icon in this android app and you can see things like &#8220;Winter storm watches&#8221; that are affecting your area. When you click on the camera icon you can see what is going on outside. This is handy for those that have to work inside all day without a window to see out. You can see the past few hours of cloud movement outside with the camera button also. Viewing the weather of other locations is also easily accomplished. When you change your location, the Weatherbug program follows you using GPS and you can stay updated automatically.</p>

<p>The Apple IPhone and Google Android are two of the most popular phones available on the market today. There are a variety of reasons and individual may choose one phone over another. When Google entered the marketplace in 2008, it was to the surprise of many. Up until that point they had not been a clear player in the mobile industry. Needless to say, many were blown away by all of the features that the Android included, and Apple was hurrying to keep pace in this ever changing industry. The war between the two companies has moved steadily forward, with both companies promising a more robust platform and a higher quality phone with each new release. However, there are some loyal fans for both Apple and android based phones that willing to get <a href="http://siliconebracelets.com/">custom silicone wristbands</a> to show their support. Here are a few of the features that separate these two phones from the rest of the competition; </p>
<div id="attachment_387" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Google-Android.jpg"><img src="http://www.shaswatpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Google-Android-300x231.jpg" alt="Google Android" title="Google Android" width="300" height="231" class="size-medium wp-image-387" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Google Android</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Google Android Features </strong></p>
<p>•	<strong>An Open Development Platform:</strong> The open development platform that has been provided by Google has been a strong selling point for the Android since its release. This has been huge, because it allows all of the different mobile carriers so alter and further develop the platform that is already in place to suit the needs of their company. This also opens up the market place to third party developers that can create a wide array of different apps that are available for the phone.<br />
•	<strong>Flash Support:</strong> The Google Android has been lauded for it&#8217;s support of Adobe Flash web applications. The iPhone currently does not include this technology, and the company has been slammed in recent news articles for not developing support for Flash.<br />
