A super encrypted safe zone in Android

Here is an inexpensive way to make sure your passwords and other sensitive data is safe on your Android device. CryptoSafe Pro

CryptoSafe Pro

CryptoSafe is a professionally developed Android application that allows you to store your sensitive information, passwords, bank accounts, credit cards, etc. safely and securely inside an encrypted database.

A unique feature of CryptoSafe is that it allows you to create multiple passwords and to maintain multiple sets of entries. If one of your passwords is stolen or compromised the other passwords are still safe. If your phone is confiscated, or if you are forced to reveal your password, you can always keep some harmless-looking set of "Decoy" data encrypted under an alternate password, give up that one and keep the real entries secret. This feature is called "Deniable Encryption" and it is only one of the ways in which CryptoSafe maintains the confidentiality of your private information, as CryptoSafe has been carefully hardened against attacks, much more than other password apps in the Android Market.

* Strong Triple-DES+AES Encryption * Deniable Encryption * Encrypted Database * Multiple Passwords * Passwords NOT stored in the phone * Encrypted Backup to SD Card * Encrypted Backup to e-mail * Encrypted Backup to Google Docs * Encrypted Backup to FilesAnywhere * Remote Wipe via SMS * Easy browse to websites * Automatic Timeout * Duress Password * Stealth Mode * Self-Destruct

* Website Passwords * Bank Accounts * Credit Cards * Notes * Private Contacts Read more at market.android.com

Voice Search, Visual Search and Results Prerendering

Google is constantly innovating. Other companies would settle into a nice comfortable niche and start exploiting their customers.

Google Adds Voice Search, Visual Search and Results Prerendering

Two of the most important Google mobile services: voice search and visual search will now be available from your computer. Voice search, a feature that's built into Android, also works in Google Chrome and allows you to search using your voice. Chrome added support for the Speech Input API back in April and it's the only browser that implemented the API. Right now, Chrome's speech input feature is only available for English.

While voice search and visual search are useful, the most impressive search feature launched by Google today is Instant Pages. The new feature only works in Chrome 13+ (available in Canary/Dev Channel and soon in beta), but it will radically improve your search experience. Chrome prerenders the top search result if it's likely that you will select it, so you no longer have to wait for the page to load. You might remember a feature called "prefetching" that was first supported by Firefox. Prerendering is a lot more powerful than prefetching. Read more at googlesystem.blogspot.com

App Widget Picker for Android

This app organizes your widget list in Android so you don't have to scroll through multiple size configurations for each widget. The various sizes get added to what appears to be links to the actual widget.

Hooray for more organization and customization!



I love Android.

For those of you that like tricking out your home screen, you know widgets are a must. However, many of you might have noticed that having a lot of widgets means your long press widget menu is long and clustered. Thankfully,  boombuler over at xda has thought up a solution.

Enter AppWidgetPicker. Looking at the screenshot, you might notice that you don’t see “Grooveshark 4×1,” “Grooveshark 4×2,” etc. Instead, you’ll notice the subtle “(x widgets).” For those of you who like staying organized this install is an absolute must. You’ll no longer have to sort through 12 different minimalistic text widgets in order to get down to your Pandora widget. It’s such a simple concept and boombuler pulls it off so well. The installation is pretty simple and it will work with all non-sense based launchers.

Hit up the thread on xda to see more! Thanks again boombuler! Read more at www.talkandroid.com
