Ever heard a song and just wanted to quickly find the lyrics?  Lyrics App for Android has got you covered.  Sure, you could use Shazam, but we just want the lyrics here, nothing else.  With Shazam, you’ve got about a 50% chance of getting the lyrics to any song anyway.  It’s basically hit or miss.  Lyrics App for android is just one of those apps that work without having to dig deep into the science of it all.  While you have a song playing on your device, run the app and be amazed at how lyrics for the song just instantly appear. It’s instant gratification when trying to clarify a word being said by the artist.  At the very least, this would be a great companion for Shazam.

No more need to manually search for lyrics.  Displays lyrics for currently playing song. When music is playing, adds icon on status bar for easy lyrics access.

DJ Rivals For Android, Next Best Thing To DJ Hero On The Wii?

Big fan of DJ Hero for the Wii?  Well, I think this might be the closest you’re going to get to it on your Android smartphone, for now anyway.  DJ Rivals, by developer Booyah Inc, is  a fast paced rhythm tapping, cross-fading, bass dropping and live scratching game for the DJ enthusiast in you or any plain old average Joe wannabe.  Whatever the case, get ready to battle to reclaim stolen ground by Bland Corp, a money hungry corporation taking over Nightclub City.  Some of the features you’ll find in this action packed DJ endeavor are real place battles, funny entertaining cinematics and challenging bosses to master.  The game, overall, is not bad on a smartphone, especially one with a large 4.3-inch screen like the Evo 4G and the 4-inch T-Mobile G2X.  However, I highly recommend if you have a tablet like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7-inch, give it a try, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.  Ready for the download?  Head on over to our apps database where you’ll find a QR code for your convenience or hit up the download over in the Android Market.  Don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.  Hit the break for some more screenshots and to view features from the developer.   » Read the rest

HTC Sensation Continues Their Anti-Rooting Trend with a Locked Bootloader

tagged , , , , , ,

A little while back, my esteemed colleague Robert brought us news that the HTC Incredible S would have a locked bootloader. What this means is that it makes it much more difficult (not impossible mind you) to root the phone and then add custom ROMs, kernels or recoveries to it. This has been an increasing trend with formerly-development-friendly HTC, with both the Incredible S and the Thunderbolt including locked bootloaders.

Dial Your Programs With ZLaunchy For Android, Now Available In The Market

One of the few things I can recall appreciating on my Blackberry smartphone was the convenience of just typing out a contact’s name from the main screen and their info being suggested, filtered and then revealed before me instantly.  To my knowledge, I regret not seeing this implemented or integrated on the Android OS.  Well, that is until now anyway.  XDA member wojciechka, brings you this very functionality by way of a third party application called Zlaunchy to quickly access your programs.  We hope to see a future release that supports contacts and categories as well.

ZLaunchy was written mainly for those who like the way HTC and other third party dialers allows searching for contacts in a T9-like way – so that finding Adam means choosing 2326 in the phone application. ZLaunchy uses the same idea to run programs on your device.

Sony Ericsson showed up at Google I/O 2011 to show off their new pint-sized EXPERIA Mini and Mini Pro. We mean mini because they both are sporting 3-inch (320 X 480) displays.

These phones are designed to be pocketable without compromising performance. Basically the Mini and the Mini Pro are the same phone, but the Mini Pro adds a front-facing camera and slide out QWERTY keyboard.

Other features for both phones are:
