Hey, this is a little late — these should be coming out on Friday or Saturday from now on. Hopefully. We’ll, see, right?

 

Highlights from the week’s readings, tweets, and posts:

 

Android Apps:

BeeJiveIM costs $10 — that’s a lot of an Android app. Not a lot for a non-Android App. I’ve paid for Photoshop, and $10 is not expensive. But I’m not planning on buying it myself.

 

LifeHacker looks at Shake2Mute which does the obvious on your ringtone.

 

Android.StackExchange gets us the lo-down on custom vibrate patterns.

 

LinuxMag looks at AppInventor

 

Android.StackExchange schools me in uses for FireFox- and Chrome-to-Phone
