The Google-owned Blogger network has released a free app designed to enable people who have built their blogs on the Blogger platform to easily update them from their Android smartphones. Unveiled this week, the program lets people bang out copy, and take photos with their phones, from directly inside the app--and then either publish their words and images straightaway or save a draft for later. Posts and drafts can be viewed directly in the app or, by way of a quickly accessible menu, in a browser. Users can also select their location and include that information with their post, switch between different accounts and blogs, and select photos from their gallery for uploading.

This morning Google held an event to showcase Android Honeycomb, the new version of the mobile OS that is focused on tablets.

37-43 Android Source Files Copied Line for Line From Java; Oracle Licks Their Lips | Android Phone Fans

The issue here isn’t that Google “borrowed” that source code. Nor does the new heft of it give that much more weight to the case in question.

Top 10 Android Apps for the Samsung Galaxy Tab
Tablets are all the rage at the CES this week, and while some feel Android is not ready for tablets yet my experience with a Samsung Galaxy Tab conflicts with that POV. I grabbed a Galaxy Tab when it first appeared on the market and it has become a powerful tool for me due to an assortment of good apps. The Android Market is growing every day as new apps appear, and it can be difficult to find the good ones. Here is a list of the top 10 Android apps I use daily on my Galaxy Tab.
