I’ve been reading reports that Amazon may have quietly opened up its Android AppStore to allow other countries to purchase apps using international accounts.

AT&T officially announced the Infuse 4G Android smartphone a few days back and while the handset itself seems rather nice, the extra news that came along may be nicer for AT&T Android users in general. And by that we are referring to the ability to install non-Market apps, something AT&T has locked up until this more »

SMobile is putting out some software to protect your G1 called VirusGuard. Android is a very open OS and plenty of people have thought about how to keep it secure.

Android is taking the books and the teachers out of music lessons. The newest way to learn music – via your cell phone (as long as you have Android).

Among the first of many Android applications is SplashPlay Mobile Music Maker, an instrument learning and music sharing tool.

While at the T-Mobile launch party the other night, someone showed off a little app called Seismograph. What is it? Shake the phone and watch your movements graphed for you. That’s it. No more, no less.

This particular G1 did not have any protective cover or screen guard or anything of the sort. Video after the break.

This application was not finished yet, but it made a lot of sense. cab4me is an application that uses the G1′s location awareness to find you and then find you a cab. It’s a really simple idea and if it works will definitely be incredibly helpful when you’ve partied too hard or just need to get somewhere.
