Hi,
This is my first App, hope you like it.
You can search for a book by author or title.
It will return you a list of books and you can then view the details about it.
You can even share the book details with others.
There is also a link to the preview of the book which opens up in browser.
The Ui needs some work, I will work on it as and when I get time.
You can download it from Google Play.

I use NewsRob to read Google Reader Engadget.com articles, but it never downloads the comments and is unable to do so. I have to open each article in the browser in order to read the comments, and use Home Long Press to swap back and forth between the two apps constantly.
Is there any Google Reader app that allows you to see the full webpage within the app? The free-er the better.
I use NewsRoom does the same thing. I can just press back and it goes back to App. Outside of comments its all there though , images etc.
Even the stupid Geniewidget leaves the app now.
I hate it. Should be self contained.
it doesn't allow comment viewing but most dont however I for sure reccommend Pulse, very pretty and intergrates with google reader. I reviewed it here on Droiddog
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/07/app-review-pulse/
Google Reader itself doesn't show comments if they aren't in the RSS feed.
The engadget app does that. Its pretty decent and you can post and reply within the app.
I'm looking for a news reader that will pull the entire article instead of just the RSS feed (which is just headlines). I take the train to work every day, and I'd like to be able to read the news even when I'm underground.
Does anyone know if an app like this exists or is in development?
google newsreader from stock roms has an option to "download full article".
open app, go to settings-> google news settings -> second checkbox "pre-download text".
cannot tell the exact name, because I work on a german version of google news.
NewsRoom can do that too, but it's paid.
"Pulse News Reader"
Great rss/news reader I found yesterday
Full articles in app (click "web"), pictures, widgets
Free in the market, no ads!
[edit] I'm just looking at pulse now, and I don't think it will actually pre-fetch the articles. Sorry. Still a good reader.
Version 1.8 of Pulse News Reader (in the Market now) includes this new feature:
Offline sync: No internet? No problem. Pulse loads the news stories you read, and makes it available wherever you are.
I use NewsRob. Does offline caching to SD card and lets you configure how many articles and lets you decide what to cache (Images, articles, websites). I syncs with Google reader. I love it!
I figured out how to get high res contact photos.
First you need ICS
Have a google plus account and google plus on your phone
Create a folder on your computer called contact photos
Load all your contact pictures into this folder
Put this entire folder onto google+ picasa web albums
Have google+ picasa web albums synced to your phone with the google+ app
You should see in gallery an album called contact photos
Manually link all of your contacts to these photos
Now all of your contacts have high res photos! Its kind of time consuming but its finally a work around the stupid google blurry pictures. I have spent countless time googling a work around. I hope this helps everyone out!
They are working on it as we speak. Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, but personally I think I'll wait until I can manager higher resolution photos directly from GMail Contacts. Saves any future hassles
i hope they fix this!!! i hate low res contact pics.
It's not exactly a fix... but I've gotten many of my contact pictures in high res through Facebook and HaxSync. As long as you have them as a Facebook friend, you can at least see their face clearly with this
The only problem is, if you have to blast your contacts storage or switch phones for any reason, the pictures that get synced back down from Google are the low res versions, then you have to manually re-do the photos all over again. It's disappointing that Google has taken so long to fix what seems like a relatively simple issue.
The other suggestion from Google was to sync your G+ contacts to your phone, but most of the people I contact via text or phone aren't actually on G+, and most of the people I have as contacts in G+ I don't communicate with outside of professional social networks.

Manually choosing pictures for each contact is not a fix!
I have put together a tiny app that syncs the photos on the phone to picasa web thus preserving its quality. Of course you need to have choosen a high resolution photo on your phone.
This being probably my first post, I can't include a link so have a search of it on Google Play and if you found it useful, post the link yourself.
Search for "Contact Photo Sync" on Google Play (remember to include the double quote marks in your search).
I've also released the code under GPLv3. To get the code, search "contactphotosync" in github.
Hope this helps some of you
That is supercool!

^ THIS
THAT APP did a good job for ICS AOSP user,
which google failed to provide.. :good:
i personaly dont like another app solution,
which syncing it with FB photo.. even though it's HD.
FB photo profile sync just sucks big time..
i simply don't want my friends picture on my contact phone is just like:
Cat, Guitar, Car or natural scenery,
or maybe his / her picture but way too far from camera..
which s/he set as profile picture on FB.
that app really good, suits my need, which i can't found for months..

Hello all!
I published an app some time ago, it has not been very popular, but i think it could be very usefull for ppl.
Its name is Image Sharer, and allow you to find images with google (or other web, you can type an url in nav bar) and share the images you find directly with your apps, for example chat apps like whatsapp, line, facebook messenger etc.
Works like a gallery, but you find the images on the web and share directly, no need to download them and then share with other tools.
The link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.golgorz.imagesharer
I hope you find it usefull, its free (there is a paid version too), if you use it and want to send feedback i would be very thankfull for it.
Cheers.
