Adventures of Andy the Android

Hi all.
Mods, please move this thread to a more appropriate place if possible.
My name is Kevin, or aka DarkOnion. Many of you guys in the general Android community probably won't know me, but for those in the Droid X and Droid 2 community related the name DarkOnion to the scripts used to root the Droid 2 on Froyo and then the Droid X when 2.2 was made available. Anyways, that is not why I am here today. I just wanted to share an experiment that I am planning to start in the very near future.
It is kind of a social experiment of sorts. What I would like to do is send an Andy the Android plushy around and have people take pics of him doing cool things. Really anything you think would be cool. Trying to get the ball rolling. I got a website going, and I'll be setting up a blog in the near future to keep track of Andy's movements.
Please check out my blog and webpage for more info about how I want to do this. It'll be a lot of fun.

Thanks for the post! I've also been waiting a long time for this.

works great.

Like the note said, it needs to be placed on a dark surface, that was my problem apparently. First try on my dark bed sheet and it worked vs my light-ish brown counter-top.

Yeah took a few tries for the check deposit to work. I had to get the check on a black background too, and make sure the edges are visible in the picture. I was positioning so the check edges were right on the border and it wouldn't work until I moved back a bit.

sweet! installing now

App was a breeze to get it up and running on my TMO-US HD2 Android baby

This is awesome, thank you for posting it.

I have been waiting for this app ever since it came out on the iPhone. Of course now I have no checks to test out the app with!

Thanks for the heads up! I had there original app on my G1 and then they discontinued it so I've had to suffice with SMS account activity and a bookmark.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

[APP][2.2+] Awkward Turtle: Never be awkward again!

Hi everyone!
A few months ago I reached out online looking for a chance to get into Android design, and met a fellow online who had a simple app idea he was working on.
We began our work, and after a few weeks I'm finally able to post here for once instead of just browsing!

MARKET DESCRIPTION:
Don't be an Awkward Turtle.
Have you ever found yourself in a conversation without any idea what to say next? Then Awkward Turtle is the thing for you! Awkward turtle is a free app that will supply you with one of over 150 random facts to get that conversation right back on its feet.
Awkward Turtle has a multitude of facts ranging from the interesting - "Facebook has increased it's revenue by 2400% in the past five years", the thought provoking - "A compressed spring weighs more than a relaxed spring", and also the down right weird - "A donkey will sink in quicksand but a mule won't".
MARKET LINK:
https://market.android.com/details?id=awkwardturtle.frostapplications
This is our first app, so please give it a try and perhaps a market rating on your honest impressions with our effort. We spent a lot of time trying to polish it, and plan on adding new features and content in the coming weeks.
We're also coming across some issues where certain phones should work but don't. It seems to be a market issue, so if you come across such a thing please let us know, or if you're also a developer who has come across something like this your advice would be appreciated. For some reason people find their phone incompatible, yet installing the .apk directly works.
Thanks for taking a look, and I hope you our app can entertain you even just for a few minutes.

Funny app
Great job.

I opened it on a phone so I will comment only on the mobile interface. Probably all points would be the same for the desktop version as well.
1. Drop Times New Roman font from the links. You look like a cheap Chinese package. Try using only two different fonts throughout the website. At the moment you have 3-4.
2. Your logo is retro, in a bad way. That fort is suitable more to a Charleston dance school than an IT website.
3. With your own domain why not have a personalised email as well. [email protected] is really unprofessional.
4. The name irresistibly reminds me of the GSMarena. Why do you think you will survive in the shadow of that website and at least 3 others that offer exactly the same thing/product? What makes you different?
5. Those news that I've opened, it was fun reading them.
