Hootsuite Acquires Swift App
Mar 12th
Days after launching its Android application, Hootsuite is announcing that they have acquired developer Swift App. This doesn’t come as a total surprise as Swift App was the company behind the development of Hootsuite’s recent twitter client for Android. Observant Android users who had previous experience with Swift app noticed striking similarities between the two apps. As part of the acquisition, Sebastian Delmont, will join the HootSuite team as a mobile adviser.
HootSuite for Android lets users manage multiple Twitter profiles, perform realtime search, and track keywords. Further, it’s possible to drill down on click-through stats for your tweets right from the handset. Down the road, Hootsuite plans to integrate Facebook and other tools to help businesses and teams manage their social networking segments.

Beta Test This! Opera Mini 5
Mar 11th
Ok, so maybe you like the stock Android browser but aren’t necessarily in love with it. Good thing for you the platform is flexible and you’re not stuck with just one option! Hot on the heels of January’s 4.2, Opera has just released their Mini 5 beta browser into the Android Market.
Opera’s Mini is a feature-rich browser that does a lot of the heavy lifting on the server side. Data is compressed by Opera before it even hits your phone so pages load considerably faster. While Mini works fine on phones with less horsepower or smaller screens, it really shines on handsets like the Nexus One. Tabs and the new Speed Dial feature play well with the bright 3.7-inch AMOLED screen.

Unleash Your Inner Stalker with Mobistealth
Mar 9th
Mobistealth doesn’t play coy when describing their services. Right out of the gate, they bill their software as “Spy Software for Android”. For as low as $49.99 (3 mo subscription), users can catch a cheating spouse with real-time updates of phone calls, pictures, location and more. In fact, as I read through the bullet point list of features, Mobistealth seems as if it could provide darn near everything there is to know about your suspected mate.
- Record all calls made from/to specific numbers
- Find out when and who is being called.
- Exact call duration of each call.
- Remotely record all conversations in the surrounding of the phone.
- Monitor movement and location history.
- View all photos and videos from handset

All kidding aside, there are some very practical features to be found with Mobistealth. As a parent, the subscription costs are a small price to pay for peace of mind in knowing where their children are or where they’ve been. Employers can keep an eye on their staff and wherebouts in addition to what they’re doing with the phone in downtime.

Adobe Adds Features to Photoshop.com Mobile 1.1
Mar 5th
Adobe has just announced the release of their Photoshop.com Mobile 1.1 and it comes only a few short months after the initial launch. Among the changes to the photo editing software are Contrast and Brightness editing tools and a handful of effects. Users can now tweak their pictures directly from their Android handsets with options like Vibrant, Pop, Vignette, Blur, Warm Vintage, Rainbow, White Glow, and Soft Black & White.
Adobe is also happy to announce that they’re giving developers the ability to embed the editing software directly into their own application(s).
Why would someone want to do something like this? Take for example a “sell-your-home-fast” application that allowed you to upload pictures and descriptions of your home to some web site that will advertise your home to millions of people all over the planet. Now imagine that this “sell-your-home-fast” application allowed you to not only snap and upload pictures – but also edit those pictures so that your home looks its very, very best.

If this sounds cool to you as a developer and you’d like to learn more, head to Adobe’s resource page for Android developers. Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile 1.1 is available for free in the Android Market and only needs 1.5 to run! You can also scan the barcode to the right with your handset to download the app.
