Cool Android Stuff
Systems administrators can now all rejoice for a decent mobile SSH client is now available for the Android. ConnectBot is a Secure Shell client for the Android platform allowing systems admins the ability to remotely connect to a system while on the go to do whatever system admins do.
But the guys behind ConnectBot are thinking much bigger than just SSH, their ultimate goal is to include file transfers between servers and the actual phone. Definitely a project to keep tabs on.
The Android Developers Blog has given us a look at the latest application they developed called AndroidGlobalTime. The program seems to be an interesting blend of Google Earth and a user-friendly global time app.
Venture Beat recently did a review for a karaoke application for the iPhone called Tune Wiki. The girl reviewing it is really cute but I’m not sure what her point was about her deaf parents. Something about how her parents don’t know what she’s listening to and the Tune Wiki lyrics as well as the phone’s vibration feature helps them. The application was demo’ed on Google’s Android and it looks like a lot of fun. All you would have to do is make sure to plug your phone into a TV so the lyrics can be read by all and have the sound playing out of a decent system. Karaoke is best shared with friends!
