Abbiamo deciso di stilare una lista che comprendesse solamente applicazioni con cinque o più voti e di seguito vi riportiamo i risultati: buona parte di questi sono arrivati a pari merito. Viber - Free Phone Calls & Text Gratis Social Networking Viber è un’utilissima applicazione che permette di inviare messaggi gratuiti/effettuare chiamate gratuite a tutti coloro che hanno installato questo programma nel proprio iPhone. Volendo, si può sostituire in tutto e per tutto l’applicazione nativa: avviando infatti una telefonata verso numeri che non utilizzano Viber, l’applicazione passerà automaticamente alla telefonata classica. Chiamando invece un numero Viber, si presenterà un’interfaccia di gestione della chiamata quasi identica a quella nativa, con un pulsante per effettuare uno switch dalla rete Viber alla rete GSM. Flipboard Gratis News Flipboard, è un RSS Reader gratuito ed altamente personalizzabile, che vi permette di avere sotto controllo tutti i feed RSS desiderati e la timeline del vostro account di Twitter e Facebook.

It's an early Monday morning, and while Google doesn't update the 10 Billion Apps promo page until 8-9am Pacific, some resourceful folks have already found all of the apps for today. The collection keeps going down in overall selection quality with each day, and we have a few repeats yet again, but we shouldn't look an [almost] gifted horse in the mouth. Here are today's apps and games: That's 0 new apps, 8 new games, and 2 apps that were already on sale before. Can we haz some more apps, please, Google? Here are all the days so far if you want to see them again: Source: Reddit, thanks rokazas and everyone who helped out! Read More

Something interesting is going on in the Android Market this morning. A bunch of our favorite apps are suddenly going for a dime, with no real rhyme or reason for the discount. @dirkyd3rlc and @Pat_Huey on Twitter alerted us to SwiftKey and Minecraft on sale for 10 cents, and we've found others. (Update: And in the UK, the apps are going for 10p each, not 6p, which would be converted from 10 cents U.S. We definitely smell a trend here.) Here's the list as it stands. There may be others. (Sing out in the comments if you spot any.) Can't tell if this is a glitch (which seems a tad unlikely), or some sort of coordinated effort. Regardless, might as well take advantage. Read More

by The Echo Nest has issued a challenge to music identification services like Shazam and Soundhound with the launch of Echoprint, an open-source music fingerprint service that will let any developer create comparable apps. To create this free music ID technology, music intelligence company the Echo Nest partnered with 7digital, giving developers access to 13 million songs. That catalog is expected to grow as more partners are added. According to the Echo Nest, EchoPrint, as an open-source offering, will improve in functionality the more developers and app users play with it. The Echo Nest’s partners have already been using EchoPrint for 18 months, so it’s not coming out of the gate untested. The Echo Nest also partnered with the open music encyclopedia MusicBrainz, to make more music-resolving apps Echoprint-aware in the near future. EchoPrint could be a big game-changer in the music ID sphere. Shazam and Soundhound are constantly innovating — Shazam just scored $32 million in funding and is now investing in “Shazamable” television shows and ads, and Soundhound just released another voice-activated app called Hound — but now more players will be entering the ring. How do you think this tech will affect the music ID realm? Read More

by Ever had a spirited argument over song lyrics while at a bar? Well, music recognition service Shazam aims to stop such bloodsport with a new feature called Shazam LyricPlay. Shazam LyricPlay, made possible via Shazam’s acquisition of synchronized lyric technology from Tunezee, adds another level of discovery to the Encore premium version [iTunes link] of the iOS app. You can now tag a song, and the option to check out lyrics will pop up. Just click on “lyrics,” turn your phone to the side, and the lyrics will scroll in time to the song. The real-time scrolling feature doesn’t work for all songs, sadly. The lyrics library includes more than 25,000 songs, which means that you’ll be able to sing along more accurately — but no less off-key — to even more of your favorite jams. It’s like mini karaoke for your pocket, without all the weird videos featuring cows and nonsensical stories about gangsters. Competitor SoundHound’s free app [iTunes link] already has lyrics, but they don’t scroll in relation to the song. Image courtesy of Flickr, pfly Read More

SoundHound launched a new mobile app for Android and iOS-based devices to allow users to search for music information using their voice. Sounds easy and easy it is. Simple fire-up Hound (that’s the name of the app), say the name of a song, artist or band and let the application do its magic, returning instant results with artist info, previews of top songs, lyrics, videos, sharing features and more. You may be thinking something like “that’s cool, but I can do most of it with the Google voice search.” Exactly, I do agree with that statement and honestly can’t imagine myself “hounding” for songs. Using the “classic” SoundHound app (which works like Shazam) makes perfect sense, but searching for music information with voice isn’t as appealing… or at least me thinks so. And this is especially true for Android smartphone users who usually have Google search widget (which comes with the Mic icon for voice search) on their devices’ homepage. I do agree with SoundHound’s idea to make voice search simple and deliver fast results. However, I can’t imagine Hound’s icon on my phone’s homescreen nor using it when I need song information. What do you say? Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis. Read More
