		<title>Droid Does Cyanogenmod?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The awesome Android modding community continues to amaze. One of the hardest things to do is port a GSM ROM ot a CDMA phone. Koush, has recently ported the latest and greatest cyanogenmod to the Droid. Cyan&#8217;s Rom&#8217;s are always near the top of the hill in the custom ROM world. This is a luxury that was previously only available to users with HTC branded phones until now. Recently there has been a push to port cyan&#8217;s ROM&#8217;s to non-HTC devices, there are two beta ROM&#8217;s at ModMyMoto for the Ciq which suffer from multiple bugs. ]]></description>

		<title>Snaptic note-taking app boosted Android integration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ We&#8217;ve been hearing a few success stories about Android developers in recent weeks, and the latest to trumpet their achievements is Snaptic .  The company is claiming almost 2,000,000 active installs, in no small part thanks to Android&#8217;s Intent functionality which allows developers to combine functionality of other applications. In that way, Snaptic&#8217;s note-taking functionality has been integrated with the BBC&#8217;s News app, together with various recipe, dictionary, horoscope and other apps.  The app allows for text and media to be snipped from those apps and saved in a user-specific database, which is sync&#8217;d in cloud-based storage and accessible via a website. Snaptic now say they&#8217;re adding in new developer functionality in the latest version of their Notes API, with more news coming out of SXSW this weekend]]></description>

		<title>Android Update on the Touch Pro2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The XDAndroid project, for Windows Mobile devices with (W)VGA displays, has progressed to a fully usable port of Android to a Touch Pro 2. Past ports haven&#8217;t been as successful as this one, there were too many bugs and the build was not user friendly. That&#8217;s now a thing of the past and maybe now all WinMo phones with a WVGA display will be able to load Android and use it like it was the native OS on the device. This hack has working calls, SMS and data. Click the links below if you want to try them out on your phone.
