			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>For a long time now, iUsers have been exclusively enjoying the SoundHound application, but not any longer. SoundHound is now available for Android. SoundHound is all about information. Whether it’s identifying a currently playing song, humming a song to identify it, or searching by lyrics, SoundHound can do it all. Check a brief list of features:</div>
<ul>
<li>Blazing fast music recognition. Fans can identify music playing from a speaker (radio, TV, films) in as little as four seconds.</li>
<li>Sing &amp; Hum music recognition. If the user can carry a tune, SoundHound can identify it.</li>
<li>Voice-directed search. The fan simply speaks a Title or Artist to explore, and get results instantly, including links to video, discography, artist info and more.</li>
<li>Instant sharing with integrated and customizable email and Twitter options.</li>
<li>Lyrics, videos and other rich content.</li>
<li>Buy links for easy purchase of songs and related content, including Amazon MP3</li>
</ul>
<p>SoundHound is getting to app market as we speak. Now there are two verions: SoundHound, in which you only get 5 “ID’s” per month and then there is SoundHound Infinity, where you get an unlimited number of song “ID’s” this version is going to run you $4.99. So depending on how often you’re trying to identify a song, the free version may be just fine for you. Anyway, head on over to the Android Market,try it out and let us know what you think in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter what the product is I think it’s safe to say we love to see a nice unboxing. And the pot is even sweeter when the device is turned on for a short demo. Noah from <a href="http://www.phonedog.com/2010/05/12/t-mobile-garminphone-unboxing/" target="_blank">phonedog</a> received the upcoming Garmin-Asus android phone from-Mobile. And he was nice enough to share the unboxing with all of us.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7306" src="http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Garmin-Nuvifone-A50-Android-smartphone.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="534" /></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>This is a great unboxing, you get the see the device and all the accessories one at a time. Then there is a quick look at the custom UI that this phone introduces to Android. The Garminifone is expected to be a navigating powerhouse. For now its stuck on Android 1.6, it has a 3.5 inch screen which is quickly becoming too small for today’s standards.</p>
<p><a href="http://androidcommunity.com/garminfone-unboxed-by-phonedog-20100513/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>There are some nice accessories included with this device that may make up for some of its short comings. It has a few things that can get you by when traveling. There is an international-ready power adapter and a cigarette lighter charger. A dock is also included, these things don’t usually come with phones so they will save you a few dollars.</p>

I know there are a few of you still stuck on 1.5 but this does reach more users then some of the newer apps that are only compatible with 2.0 and up devices. With that being said, it’s good to see that Google is making a concerned effort to make their Android apps as good as possible. They are even keeping their mobile sites updated for Android devices.

<p>Goggles have been one of the most popular and fun apps available for Android since it were released. It’s now gotten a whole lot better. Goggles can read English, French, Italian, German and Spanish and can translate too many more languages. This update also improves barcode recognition, it now recognizes more products and logos, has an improved user interface and it can now use photos in your gallery to perform a visual search.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not too long ago Twitter announced that they were working on an official app for Android. At that time no one knew when it was expected to hit the market. Well, today is the day, we didn’t have to wait long for this app to hit Android. You can download and get started on it now.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7001" src="http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Twitter-300x500.png" alt="" width="300" height="500" /></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>For a first attempt, this app is quite polished. It looks really good and that’s kind of shocking, it came out so fast I expected it to be through together and ugly but that’s not the case. There’s a widget included and you can even tweet right from the gallery. This makes sharing pictures a breeze. This is just the beginning, this app like Android itself is open source so the developer community has a chance to make this app even better. Scan the qr code below and try it out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been a rumor around the web that Google will be adding free navigation to the iPhone. Google has denied such claims but left the door open slightly by stating that it may come to multiple mobile platforms in the near future. Also, other Maps features could make their way onto the iPhone.</p>
<p>?<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6866" src="http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/iphone22.png" alt="" width="449" height="323" /></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>Navigation was first introduced on the Droid, it was a feature of Android 2.0. After complaints from many non-2.0 users, it was made available to every device that has 1.6(maybe this was already in the works). This free navigation service gives Android a leg up on many other platforms that charge for such services, often they are not as good as Google Maps Navigation. A feature of Maps that most of us may not be aware of, routes are cached after the directions are found so even if you lose your data connection while on the go, you will still have accurate navigation information to rely on.</p>
<p>A Google spokesperson said:</p>
<p>“We did not say we would bring it to iPhone, we said to date we’ve had it on Android and that in the future it may come to other platforms but did not confirm this will be coming to iPhone at all,”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like Intel is late to their own party. We’ve seen Android running on x86 CPU’s numerous times before. Intel has recently announced plans to enter the Android game. They are the leading CPU manufacturer and are now looking to take a cut into ARM’s profit.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6715" src="http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/13apr10ioub2535-540x283.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="283" /></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<blockquote><p>Intel already has Android running on Atom-based smartphones and certain customers are interested in using it, said Renee James, general manager of Intel’s software and services group, on the sidelines of the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Beijing.</p></blockquote>
<p>Most of their leg work has been done by other companies. Intel is hoping these Atom-based Android devices will be a huge hit. With their track record, I expect nothing less than greatness from them and their products. We may start to see these devices soon since they have some working products. The ninja spy shots should start to pop up soon.</p>
