There are two misleading things in the title of this review: it's not 3 minutes or less, and the app isn't a universal translator. Currently the app translates between 4 languages -- English, French, Italian, and Spanish -- and it doesn't do very well at that. It does translate English to [insert other language here] well, but going the other way is a lesson in patience.
Today's 3 Minute (or less) review is for MicDroid, which lets you auto-tune your voice! I know Jay-Z won't be happy that Android users are downloading this but T-Pain will be thrilled. It's easy to use, just click the "On" button, record your voice, and then click "Off". MicDroid will auto-tune your recording and then ask you to save. Press Menu and go to "Recordings" and you will find all your saved recordings. You can also change the settings around if you like from the app's menu.
This is the first in what I hope will be a nice little series for the site, 3 minute reviews (or less) of new apps to the market. I am downloading these and using them for the first time on the camera, so this is basically what you will see in the first 3 minutes of using the app. Hope you enjoy this one and we'll keep doing this until we run out of apps (NEVAR!).
Oh yeah, one thing I found out after posting this video, you need to go to MENU > EXIT to actually kill the app or it will run in the background and slow things down. Just FYI.
I'm still excited over the Droid X announcement today, and what do I find when I get home? A box from Verizon, of course! What could be in the box, you ask?
That's right! Cookies! Thanks Verizon!
Boy Genius Report just posted that Droid Life has released pics and a boot-up video of the Motorola Droid 2. Here's the specs straight from Droid Life:
Since Sunday, June 6, I have been been using Android 2.2 on my Motorola Droid, the first release was posted by MyDroidWorld Saturday night and many servers were too full to handle the demand. Another release was posted soon after with a few fixes (most notably was the fix for Chrome To Phone) and besides a few hangup everything was running smoothly. I was happy with the MDW release and knew that soon the ROM makers and themers would be using these releases to create and deploy.
Verizon is getting ready to push the Android 2.1 update to HTC Eris phones soon, although they haven't released a date they have released information about the update and what will happen when you update. Like other Android phones, the Eris will get the update over-the-air (OTA) and it will be mandatory.
