Application Review: App to QR

Another small and useful app in the android market. This application can give the searchable URL for any application installed on your phone or generate a QR Code that you can use to share via the camera with another friend. I have found it extremely useful. Use the QR Code on the right to go to this application.

Application Review : Ringdroid

Here is an application that is available on android market for quite some time. I just never tried it primarily because my ADP1 just ran out of space for installing additional application. The application is called Ringdroid. The application can read any MP3 stored on your phone or you can record any sound and then it allows you to define the boundaries of what you want to set as ring tone.

Works pretty well and I found it useful. Use the QR Code on the right to jump to this application in the market.
