Let's take a look at some great applications that our writers use on their devices.

Skyfire updated, in the Market now
Submitted by jive on Fri, 09/03/2010 - 11:58
Skyfire, an alternate browser available for multiple platforms, has updated its Android browser to 2.3.2 today with some fixes and a couple of new features. What's fixed? Well there was a pesky bug that caused the browser to force close for some users, and they say that's gone now. They have also enhanced their video search feature, as well as updating the UI to look better on higher resolution devices. Skyfire is the browser that brought Flash videos to Android before true Flash was an option. So if you're a Skyfire user, hit the market and grab the update![Skyfire]

Skype Mobile update does not allow use of Wifi after all [updated]

Skype Mobile for Android now works over 3G *and* Wifi (but still Verizon-only)
Submitted by jive on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 04:48
Great news for those of you rocking Skype Mobile on Android -- the app has been updated, and you can now make calls over Wifi, in addition to 3G. That means faster speeds, of course, and no more being forced to use Verizon's data, which is slower, costs you money, and was a pretty specious move to begin with. The bad news is that the Skype app is still exclusive to Verizon (wasn't that supposed to change at some point?). But as long as we're ending the night on a positive note, let's hope that soon changes, too. Thanks, @JasonAGrier continue reading »»»
