| Foursquare updated - Now includes lists and sorting of friends Posted: 29 Sep 2011 07:27 PM PDT The latest Foursquare update for Android is now available for download in the Android Market. Nothing huge will be found here like previous versions where we got a whole new UI but lists is now included and that's been lacking on the Android front until now.
All of those things should help keep things more organized and functional for all you Foursquare users out there. You can jump past the break for the update link or just fire up the Android Market if you already have Foursqaure installed.

| Postcard on the Run lets you easily drop word to friends and family Posted: 29 Sep 2011 03:26 PM PDT Since we're on the road so much, we're always on the lookout for a good postcard app. And an old favorite was just released for Andronid. Postcard on the Run has a great UI, with easy instructions and options to use pictures from the camera, your gallery or even Facebook. Pick the pic, and Postcard on the Run mails it anywhere in the world. But what if you don't know the physical address? (That's a common problem in a lot of address books these days.) Postard on the Run has its "Postal Gopher." Just give it the e-mail address or cell phone number of the person you're trying to send to, and it'll contact them, then update your address book and send. Other options include cropping the photo, leaving a message, adding a real signature (as in sign with your finger) and even a GPS map of your location you're sending from. It's pretty slick. Prices vary from 99 cents to $1.69 per postcard sent (add 20 cents for international), and you can pay by credit card or PayPal. (We'd love to see in-app billing added so we don't have to enter our credit card -- again.) We'll be giving this one a go this weekend from the Big Android BBQ, no doubt. Hit up the download links after the break.

| Supposed 'list of files' for Verizon Nexus Prime leaked, bloatware free Posted: 29 Sep 2011 01:32 PM PDT A list of the installed apps in the ROM for the Verizon Nexus Prime has been leaked, and they are unsurprisingly bloat free! OK. That's not surpring since it's a Nexus device, but surprising because it's Verizon. Some of us (cough) thought would never happen. (And I'm required by law and/or Phil to point out that we first brought Verizon into the Nexus equation way back in June.) We have no idea of the validity or source of this one -- or just how finished a build it might have been pulled from -- but we're going to go on assumption that a device tester was able to get the info out there, and let's all hope it's final. It's a long list, and we want to discuss some of it, so hit the break and play along. Source: My Droid World

| Android Quick App: Intimity - For the ladies Posted: 29 Sep 2011 01:06 PM PDT Any woman can tell you, tracking your monthly cycle is not the most fun thing ever. Trying to plan around it can be a real pain, and let's just be honest, it's really not the easiest thing to stay on top of. We have enough going on in our daily lives without having to stop and try to calculate if today is an especially good day to get pregnant or if that spontaneous weekend trip is going to be hindered by mother nature. Intimity is a new app aimed to make it all effortless, so that with a glance at your screen, you can tell what your body is planning for you. Getting started is pretty simple. Simply input a few dates and indicate if you are trying to get pregnant or not, and the app does the rest for you. The main screen shows the current date, the day of your cycle you're on, and if it's a fertile, not fertile, or ovulation day. It was funny to me that the picture of the girl changes depending on those circumstances; if you're not trying to conceive, on fertile days she's dressed very prim and proper, and on non-fertile days she's ready to party - and vice versa if you are trying to conceive. Options at the bottom of this screen take you to view a monthly calendar that is in the shape of a flower with many petals. Spin the flower to choose a date, and you can enter notes, weight, mood and other details. You can even view statistics about your cycles and be notified when it's time to take birth control. All in all Intimity is a handy app that takes much of the guess work out of at least this aspect of being a woman. Whether you're trying to get pregnant, or trying NOT to get pregnant, this app can be a great tool to use. You can grab it in the Android Market for $1.35. Download links and screenshots are after the break!

| Cut the Rope updated with 25 new levels, Om Nom hungrier than ever Posted: 29 Sep 2011 12:52 PM PDT Cut the Rope, the popular and highly addictive game that introduced Android to Om Nom and his sweet tooth, has been updated with 25 new levels. Toy Box 1.1, available now, ups the ante to 200 levels total, and also adds new game mechanics in which you can use a trampoline to bounce candy into Om Nom's mouth.

| Motorola Xoom Wifi gets another update to build HTK75D Posted: 29 Sep 2011 12:17 PM PDT Word on the street, in our inbox and on our Motorola Xoom Wifi edition is that an update to Android 3.2.1 is rolling in. The "new" Android Market's also along for the ride in build HTK75D, which would be a bigger deal if it wouldn't have updated itself later anyway. But might as well have it tucked into a nice update. More in the Xoom forums

| Android kids app: The Ogglies - A Dragon Party Posted: 29 Sep 2011 12:04 PM PDT Chances are your kid likes dragons and will also jump at the chance to say "firebottom." Why not combine the two with the children's book "The Ogglies - A Dragon Party for Firebottom." It's the latest in a nice little run of interactive children's books now available on Android. "Firebottom" also has puzzles and music thrown in, so you're not just reading the book. It's on sale through Oct. 6 for around $2. We've got links and video after the break.

| HTC Holiday checks in at the FCC Posted: 29 Sep 2011 10:58 AM PDT If the HTC Holiday is high up there on your LTE capable device want list, you shouldn't have that much longer to wait. The FCC has done their due dilligence and gave the device blessing to proceed with 1700/2100/700 LTE bands intact. If you're looking for any carrier details in the FCC filing, you won't find them but this one has been pegged for AT&T since it started popping up.
