Good News Everybody
Good news everyone
I just got permission from Mases that I could develop an Android app for this site.
I have already started developing, and so far I've added the following features:
-Read blog posts on the go
-Listen to ZD podcasts
-Watch walkthrough videos from the YouTube channel
-View the latest artwork from the DevianArt Gallery
-Twitter live feed
All of the features above are available in the app.
I'm currently adding the following features:
-Offline viewing of walkthroughs
-Access to Facebook page
I envisage the app will be available for download within 1-2 weeks, after the necessary bug testings have taken place. The app will launch in Beta form.
Should the succeed on the Android platform, I will port it over to iOS, where I can possibly include more features like a mobile social network.
The app will be available free with ads. (Not annoying ones, I promise
)
If you have any questions, please send me a PM or reply to this post. I'll be creating a thread regarding the app soon, and will post the link here.
Check out the attachments for a sneak peak into the app. App is running in the SDK emulator, framed in Google Nexus 1. Google Nexus 1 image copyright Google and HTC.
[EDIT: Sorry about the small upload size, I uploaded them in a bigger size, they must be scaled down by the forum software.]
I'm a relatively new member to the forums (I've used the actual website for ages), so please +REP me if you like the look of the app, and can't wait for it to be released!
