Android gets Truphone, lets you make cheap calls
One of the greatest features on the G1, as with most other smartphones, is the inclusion of Wi-Fi in addition to 3G wireless. It is much easier for those whose carriers might have limit data limits on the 3G networks or who just want more speed. It can also provide for cheaper phone calls as with the new Android app from Truphone.
Truphone is bringing its iPhone, Nokia, and Blackberry app to the Android Marketplace, allowing users to make incredibly cheap or even free phone calls. With the app, you can call any other Truphone user free of charge or call international numbers very cheaply. For instance, a call from the USA to France is $0.018 for a landline or $0.188 for cellphone.

Wherever your phone goes, SplashPlay goes with you to learn, listen or share music anywhere. Right now, guitar is the only instrument compatible with the software. Continued after the break.

Google Android app: Seismograph
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.
Seismograph is one of those “because we can” applications that uses the G1′s accelerometer. What else could you do with this app? Plenty of ideas and a video after the break.
Handango confirms marketplace for paid Android apps
Sure, the Android Marketplace is nice and convenient and seems to be easy to use, but it does have one option missing that may make some developers stay away. The ability to charge for applications. We first heard that Handango was stepping up to take care of this issue a few weeks back and they have just officially confirmed the upcoming launch.
They will have their market available when the G1 launches on October 22 and users will be able to purchase the apps through a web interface and then download them directly to their handset for installation.

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