We’ve a soft spot for augmented reality (AR) apps and a dislike of walking into lampposts, so Samsung’s new Road SMS app for the LG Optimus GT540 satisfies both our hunger for gimmicks and personal safety. Available exclusively through the Samsung Apps download store on the LG Optimus GT540 – and, we’re guessing, on the Vibrant, Captivate and any other LG Optimus GT540 variant the company pushes out – the Road SMS app basically overlays a QWERTY keyboard on top of a live view from the phone’s camera.
That means you can strut along the street, texting away to your hearts content, while simultaneously keeping an eye out for open manhole covers, angry dogs or stray celebrities. Unfortunately the app itself is pretty basic: all you have is a keyboard, a shortcut to choose the message recipient and a character counter (which seems to want to limit messages to 80 rather than the more usual 160 characters); there’s no way to browse incoming messages or indeed take a photo for an MMS.
Still, as a free gimmick it’s pretty neat, and we imagine someone will soon rip it from the Samsung ROM and offer it on other custom installs for rival handsets. Full demo in the video below.

I've developed a finger friendly application that allows you to access your Google Voice mailbox right from your handset. Right now, it's pretty simple and just lets you see who called and when and play the voicemail but I'm planning on adding more features such as starring, marking items as read, and transcriptions pretty soon (right now it is 'read only' per say).

Under the white boxes is people's names. It cross references the phone numbers with those in your address book to display by name instead of just the phone numbers. Some caveats/requirements... it utilizes the Silvermoon project for the GUI and therefore requires OpenGL support. It will "work" without OpenGL however it will be rather slow. Also, it saves the configuration and voicemails to \Storage Card\GoogleVoice so it requires a storage card to be present.

Let me know what you think and what sort of features you'd like to see as well as any bugs.
Looks nice. Thanks!
Awesome Thanks!!
It's work just a bit slow
This is a great app, hope RustyGrom can improve the performance of it. Thanks!
I am running this on my Touch Pro2.. Works pretty good. Still some issues with the screens, but over all a great app. If I can help beta test I would love to help.
And thank you very much for your hard work.
This is almost exactly what I've been looking for... however, on my TP2, all I get is a black screen with the soft buttons on the bottom.
Have you ever used Skype for Windows Mobile? Their mobile visual vm inbox is EXACTLY what I want to do with GV... But if I could get this app to work, it would be start...

Any chance to get xap for dev unlocked devices?
I´ve installed it, great browser, musch faster then IE! Even better than Opera Mini. The only complain is that we can choose to be default one.
Sadly, Microsoft has forbidden third-party apps from registering themselves for the "HTTP" and "HTTPS" URI schemes. If we can get write access to the registry (don't hold your breath) we could make it the default browser; my HD7's default browser is an earlier version of this app.
jailbreak version:
Great bur needs support for other User Agents
Excellent browser but it is missing one HUGE feature - support for switching user agents. There are multipe web-pages that just render better if the user agent is set to iPhone / android / iPad and if this feature is supported in a future release this may become the go-to browser on WP8 platform!
Lets get this feature in the next release - please!

Startup founder Anirvan Dam saw that parents wanted to give their kids an online presence, (apparently that’s not just for companies anymore), and that they were really invested in recording and preserving their child’s growth and experiences. Anirvan and his partner, Lovekesh Sharma got to work developing a web-based service designed to meet those needs.

So this post is to ask developers out there, to make a third party client for instagram, there are hundreds of clients for twitter and Facebook, why hasn't anyone made an instagram one? (There are like 3 in the play store but all of em are very bad).
These companies have trillions of dollars and can't make decent apps, I love Instagram, but the android Iinstagram client is HIDEOUS, its all clunky and slow, it does not follow android design guidelines at all, its just a blown up version of the OLD version from iOs 6, bottom line, it sucks.
Here is a mockup of a nice and slick instagram client someone made like a year ago or so, this is what we need, please devs step up and give us a nice instagram client, I'd be happy to pay for it!

INSTAGRAM ANDROID API TERMS OF USE
Before you start using the API, we have a few guidelines that we'd like to tell you about. Please make sure to read the full API Terms of Use. Here's what you'll read about:
Instagram users own their media. It's your responsibility to make sure that you respect that right.
You cannot use the Instagram name in your application.
You cannot use the Instagram API to crawl or store users' media without their express consent.
You cannot replicate the core user experience of Instagram.com
Do not abuse the API. Too many requests too quickly will get your access turned off

Hub Keyboard
Hub keyboard is like your regular keyboard got a promotion to a position where it gets it's own office. After a while they start using a Bluetooth headset and slowly stop hanging out with you. It's a keyboard designed by Microsoft that's built for the Microsoft Office power user.
Use your keyboard to search your documents, contacts, and clipboard data. You'll also have a translate feature to translate to and from different languages. The clipboard will save several of your most recent copied texts and let you scroll through and choose the one you want.
• Clipboard: Easily insert one of your recently copied items
• Documents: Grab and share URLs of Office 365 documents in OneDrive and SharePoint
• Contacts: Share information of a contact from your phone or your Office 365 account
• Translate: Translate what you are writing to another language
The actually keyboard itself is very similar to the stock Android layout. This keyboard app is more focused on adding features rather than redesigning the layout.

Cool concept for a keyboard.
I like how Microsoft introduces clipboard history here, on a mobile platform that has limited use for it, but the feature remains glaringly absent even in their newest Windows release.
I would try this though.. if it was compatible with any of my devices.
Great concept. Too Microsoft-specific (but it is their app!). And since they now own Swiftkey, must expect a much better keyboard, especially for it size.
It isn't too bad in it's current state. Needs some polish and a shine to really show through. I do like the built in translation. Don't like the fact there is not an autocorrect -_-
