DLP Mobile has released an Android version of the Next Train NYC app, which gives you information about New York City subway schedules.  In addition to giving users real time updates about the trains, the Android app also features NYC trivia to help pass the time while you wait.  From the presser:

New York City, NY — Next Train NYC, the first of several train schedule apps planned for major cities by DLP Mobile (http://www.dlpmobile.com), is now available for phones that run
Android.  Previously, Next Train NYC only worked on the iPhone.

Next Train NYC displays an approximate countdown to when your train is scheduled to arrive at the nearest subway station.  Its accuracy is unrivaled, thanks to its complex thirty-day average stop-time algorithm.  The new app will work with any Android handset.

“We’re very proud of Next Train NYC, because we know how frustrating it can be to wait for a train without knowing how long you will be there.  We’re thrilled that Next Train NYC will help New Yorkers, as well as tourists, reduce the time they spend underground,” said Zak
Tanjeloff, founder of DLP Mobile.

Unlike similar apps, Next Train NYC works completely offline, so you can use the app underground on the platform.

The application costs $1.99, and can be brought up by scanning the QR image below, or by simply searching Next Train NYC in the Android Market.

Do you ever wish you could be Jacques Cousteau, but you’re terrified of water? Well thanks to the latest updated from Google Earth, you’ll be exploring the ocean floor in no time.:

“The latest version of Google Earth for Android also introduces the “Explore the Ocean” layer, which features hundreds of photos and videos from more than 100 contributors who are excited to share their stories of sea.

For those of you running Android 2.2, there are some more treats in store. Google Earth now supports Flash in balloons, so if you have the Flash player installed on your mobile device, you can watch videos right in the balloon. We’ve also made the program easier to navigate; for most devices, you can now use two fingers to “look around” and change your viewpoint, as an alternate to using the on-screen button. This makes it even easier to tilt your view to see mountainous landscapes or underwater canyons. Rotating your view with a simple twist of your fingers is now available on more devices as well.

Google Earth 1.1 is available now to all Android devices running Android 2.1+

In no case has this been more true than with Indian start-up Notion Ink and their Adam tablets. Four different versions of the Adam tablet will hit the market sometime between November of 2010 and January 2011. Production is set to start in early November, and FCC approval will determine how soon it’s made available in the states. This can take anywhere from two to twelve weeks.
