My friends family had some pretty intense Scrabble games when we were growing up. In fact I remember when her dad left them for good in the Christmas of 1989 because her brother won the holiday championship on the word “grushie.” Ironically, this is an adjective that means thriving and healthy which unfortunately her family wasn’t for the next 5-8 years.
Nowadays, we don’t have to consult a dictionary when performing our word processing because if Microsoft Word spellchecker doesn’t like a word, we can simply select add to dictionary like I just did with grushie, and it will be part of our lexicon forever. That may seem fine, but what if you accidentally add a word that doesn’t exist like juveline and years later put it in your business plan?

PowerAMP is a slick-looking music player that is trying to corner the audiophile market. It has a lot to like about it, and some things to dislike. It looks good, and it has some great features, but it still has work to be done.
To start off, PowerAMP can play audio files that the native Android player (and most third-party music players) can't. The list of formats includes MP3 (of course), MP4, M4A, ALAC, OGG, WMA, FLAC, WAV, APE, WV, and TTA. Most of those won't mean anything to many people, but this is good news for hard-core music geeks.
PowerAMP has four different desktop widgets (with album art and without), and two types of lock-screen widgets. It's convenient to be able to play/pause and skip tracks (forward and back) without even having to unlock your phone. PowerAMP's lock-screen widget is the best that I've used.
The player looks great; it has a few different themes you can choose from. And the many menu settings make it pretty customizable. The user interface is not super intuitive, and it's pretty easy to get lost in the menus while looking for a song (or artist). Sometimes the back button moves you up one level, and sometimes it exits out of the program. The app also needs a way to get you back to the main library page with a single click.
Another lack: no way to reorganize the music on your playlists. You can add and delete files to playlists, which is nice (and not included in all music players), but once they're in a list you can't change what order the list plays in. Adding that feature would be a no-brainer.
This music player has come a long way in a short amount of time. The biggest thing it needs is a way to reorganize songs on playlists, and it could use some interface tweaks to make navigation easier. Overall though, it's very good and a worthy music player replacement.
The key to unlock the full version of this app costs $5.

Amazon MP3, an app often pre-installed on Android devices, allows you to browse through Amazon's ever growing DRM-free MP3 library and legally purchase music on your phone. With its most recent update, the app can now stream music that has been uploaded to your Amazon Cloud Drive as well as play files stored locally on an SD card.
While Amazon's music library may not be as robust as Apple's iTunes, I found it a bit easier to navigate on the mobile app. When you find a song you want to buy, you are given an option to either save it locally to your device, or to your Cloud Drive. If you save the file to your Cloud Drive, you can later download it onto your device or your computer at no extra cost. Amazon MP3 purchases that are saved directly to the Cloud Drive do not count against your storage quota.
One of the great things about Amazon MP3 is that you can stream your music to any Android device running 1.6 or higher with the app installed onto it. The only real issue I encountered when streaming over 3G was that higher bit rate files (audio files of a higher quality) would need to constantly buffer. That was not a problem when streaming over 4G or Wi-Fi, but if you don't have a 4G phone then it is kind of a moot point.
Playing music off of an SD card went off without a hitch, though the app only accepts AAC and MP3 formats (sorry FLAC fans). I preferred the Amazon music player over the bland stock Android one mainly because of its tight integration with the Amazon MP3 store. Instead of having to exit the app, an arrow at the top of the screen allows you to switch between the music player and the store on the fly.
Amazon MP3 is great for those of us with massive music collections, but lack the storage to carry it all with us. Even if you don't want to stream music, the Amazon media player is still far better than the default one found on some Android devices. It's free and definitely worth checking out, especially if you use your phone as your main music device.

Bonsai Blast is hard to categorize. It's sort of a puzzle game, but timing, speed, and aim are every bit as important as strategy. On each level, multicolored marbles come rolling in on a track, slowly heading toward a black hole; if they reach the hole, you lose. You control a marble-shooting turret, and your task is to shoot into the train of oncoming marbles, matching three or more of the same color to eliminate them. You get extra points for creating combinations and longer chains.
As the levels progress, the path the marbles take becomes increasingly intricate. Sometimes they wind around themselves, making it very hard to hit the one you want. Other times they come in from multiple places simultaneously. And still other times you can hit them only by bouncing your marble off a wall or shooting it through a pipe. The backgrounds are pleasant, and are designed to look like Zen gardens, which is a nice effect. The game offers 90 levels, and they get extremely difficult--but at no point do you feel that your attempts are futile and you're wasting your time.
The creators of Bonsai Blast do a good job of changing up the game to keep it from becoming repetitive. Eliminating a marble while it's flashing triggers either a special ball (such as a fireball, or a ball of light that destroys everything around it) or an overall effect (such as the marble train rolling backward in the track a ways, or falling rain that destroys some random marbles). You'll really need these power-ups to get through the more advanced levels.
The only negative thing I can say about this game is that I've definitely played others like it before. Luxor Quest for BlackBerry is one, and I seem to remember other Flash-based versions. That said, Bonsai Blast is the best implementation of this type of game that I've seen. It crams in a ton of value (especially for a free game), and I highly recommend it.

he Oxford Dictionary of English app, by Handmark, does a tremendous job of capturing all the OED's information, and making it available on your Android phone. In comparison to Merriam-Webster's dictionaries, the OED goes into far greater detail about each entry. You learn not only the common usage of a word as it is used today, but also the word's origins, its previous meanings, and multiple examples of the word in use. The app version preserves most of those features of the dictionary.
The chief difference between the print version of the OED and the Android app is that the Android app has an abbreviated number of examples of the use of each word in sentences.
Though the app has a high regular price, I bought it on sale for $10. Anyone fascinated by the breadth of the English language will find that this OED app quickly repays the investment.
