Howdy birders!
We’ve been hard at work on something super seeekrit and we’d like to give you a preview. No, it’s not a series of leaked Whitehouse cables or Military secrets, it’s way more awesome: Songbird is coming to Android!
We’ll be continuing to work on it for the next few weeks before a full release, but here’s a build for you guys and dolls to try out. First, though, I need to go over a few pieces of information that will make your use of it more pleasant.
You’ll need an Android phone that’s running Android 2.1-update1 or newer for the OS
To install, you will need to enable installing applications from unknown sources (Typically under Settings -> Applications -> Check ‘Unknown Sources’ Option)
When we release a final version through the Android Market you will need to manually uninstall this build which will wipe data related to it
This build will expire 4 weeks from today so do get your testing in while it’s hot!
Download the APK
Let us know what you think! Also, have a quick look at the list of known issues we’ll be fixing before we make the full release, so you know if we’re already covering something you’ve found.
When launching app via Widget, if drawer was open previously, it gets closed
If you have an HTC Incredible, the wrong song may play when you have music on both the phone storage and the SD card
On the HTC Incredible, stuff may be sorted oddly in the Artist, Albums and Songs views when you have music on both the phone storage and SD card
Have a great weekend!

Hi,
Here's a special XDA preview of my entry for ADC2: Thinking Space
Thinking Space is a Mind Mapping application for Android.
Features include basic compatibility with Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net) and XMind (via Freemind import/export)
Heres a image export from the application, which helps to explain its purpose:

If you are in to Mind Mapping, I would very much appreciate any feedback you have at the moment.
It's been a massive challenge to get this to where it is now in the couple of months since the Android Developers Challenge 2 was announced, so some bits are still a bit rough around the edges, but overall it's quite complete now.
The Cloud support is very basic at the moment, however I hope to have a web frontend soon that will allow you to download your maps and also upload new revisions from your PC.
Thinking Space is freeware, I may even open source it once I've had the oppurtunity to tidy the source up abit!
Edit:
Now on Android market:

is a great application! I use it every day since I know the app.
but I have a question about the publication in the cloud.

Hi,
The cloud function uses Google App Engine to the store the maps online.
I've done an update for Droid and Tattoo screens users.
If anyone has a Droid, and particulary a Tattoo, I'd be really interested in hearing any feedback you have!
Any UK devs going to Android Labs on the 19th November?

I use the programme for some time and I think it is one of the most beautifully crafted apps.
It is just GREAT!

IE 9: First look at the new JS Engine
The IE team is busy working on the next version of the world's most popular browser. IE 8 is the most widely used browser on Windows. IE 9 is currently in the oven and the IE team is ready to talk about what they're working on. Here, JavaScript engine team members John Montgomery, Steve Lucco and Shanku Niyogi give us an early look at the new JS engine that will ship with IE 9. As of the interview, it is on par with the latest performance numbers of the latest Firefox beta and making progress in catching up to Chrome's latest V8. Again, this is a really early look at where the JS engine is and where it's going (and what they've done, architecturally, to speed up IE's JS engine).

This release is HUGE! Sapphire has hit 1.0! Everyone is excited including us, with this release we have several announcements to make.
First off, Sapphire 1.0, with Verizon's release of the official OTA update we are proud to announce our 1.0.0 release. Many of you have been looking foreward to it for a while! A few features people will like are that Gem Settings has been moved to the actual settings screen instead of it being it's own app, kmob's lockscreen music controls, we've also modified the previous volume controls(when screen is off) when music was playing to now skip tracks on long-press and work accross all music players, including Pandora and Slacker Radio. Bug fixes include ##program menu, 50% signal loss bug, wifi signal loss issue.
For a full list of changes and bug fixes please see the changelog.
http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.0.0
Next up we have our own website now!(no forums at this time) It's name is ccroms.net which stands for Crystal Clear Roms. This is now the blanket name for the group and all roms we produce. CCroms.net is a centralized location for all information related to sapphire, other upcoming roms, bug tracker, howto, etc. We hope you like it!
http://www.ccroms.net
I would also like to officially announce the addition of BGill to the ccroms team as the master of themes, or "The Jeweler" as he has come to call himself. He needs no introduction as you all know who he is. Though i will say he worked all last night to port themes for the 1.0.0 release so once he wakes up we should have several themes ready to go for everyone.
http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.0.0
Lastly, we are also currently in a donation drive. As many of you know we are trying to expand our device coverage to the HTC Incredible to produce a rom named Ruby, which will be Sapphire for the Incredible. For more information on this should you feel like donating please see the below link.

it's a (really sweet) custom ROM with 2.2 and a wide variety of kernels and themes. Thanks to the devs for a job well done! This is running perfectly for me.
Damn, I was hoping it was FRG22. Nice so far tho. New notifications is a nice touch. Gotta wait for my apps to populate so I can really test it.
Catch Phrase Party
This is that fast talking, fast passing game you all have probably played before. If you haven't, it is a party game where one person has a phrase in front of them, and they have to get their team members to guess the phrase, without spelling it out, using a word from the phrase, etc. If the buzzer sounds when your team has the phone, then the opposing team is awarded a point.
Very fun game when you have a few friends all sitting around with nothing better to do.
My brother and I have been working on this for a little while now, and finally released it today. We already have a few things in mind for the next release, which may be as early as tonight or tomorrow.
The only glaring issue I have found is that the XBL tile seems blurry. We don't know what would cause this - if any of you know - that would be great, but hopefully we can get that cleared up tonight.
Feedback is much appreciated! You can do that here, or in app.

will it work on NODO?

Yes. The app is available for Nodo, but it will be stuck at version 1.2 until you update to Mango. This is standard for all apps. Mango users are currently getting updates for existing apps that Nodo users won't see until after they update to Mango. This just means by the time Mango is in the hands of the average user, more apps will be Mango ready.
Version 1.2 still has thousands of phrases, and is a solid app. People have been happy with it so far, 1.3 is just all the more awesome.
thanks for reply.
Anytime!
I hope you get a chance to try it out.
thank U......
