DoubleTwist Gives the Android App Market a Desktop Interface

It ’s nice to able to look for , browse and download roving apps from your computing machine as well as your handset . ( See : iTunes . ) Google does n’t seem to realize or wish about this , so 3rd - party synchronize appDoubleTwistpicked up their slack .

In hypothesis , this is Android ’s iTunes : It ’s a place where Android substance abuser can sieve through apps on a larger projection screen , with a sightly more accommodative user interface . In reality , it ’s a bit less : It does n’t declare oneself many sorting or navigation options that Android App Market web browser app does n’t already have , and you ca n’t actually download apps for syncing to your twist . ( The close you’re able to get in DoubleTwist is to use your telephone to scan the QR code displayed on the app ’s itemization Sir Frederick Handley Page , which is pretty convenient , but not as commodious as line up it immediately for induction , as in iTunes . ) Of of course , DoubleTwist still facilitate you synchronise music and video to your Android equipment ( and others ) , and buy euphony from the Amazon medicine store .

It ’s a sizeable try from an outfit that does n’t even have Google ’s approving , but it really just drives the point home that Google should provide something like this themselves . I translate that Android handsets are supposed to be in a computerless vacuum , and that email , contacts and other lightweight data sync utterly well over the air , with the cloud . But it ’s grueling to overstate how crucial apps are to a smartphone OS ’s achiever , and just as hard to overdraw how much nicer it is to have a comely interface for the thousands of apps that make Android great . So , Google : Try it . Or at least help these guys out . DoubleTwist for Mac supports the Android Market now ; sustenance will be added to the Windows interpretation shortly . [ DoubleTwist ]
