DoubleTwist Brings The Android Market To Your Mac’s Desktop

on 03/31/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

DoubleTwist’s latest update should be quite useful to Mac users, as it adds to its media syncing functionality for non-Apple devices like Google’s Android. The best feature of the latest version is that you’re able to browse the Android App Store directly from your Mac’s desktop; similar to browsing Apple’s App Store on iTunes, and if you decide that you want something, you can just snap a photo of the QR code on the screen, and it’ll be downloaded directly to your Android phone. Compared to having to search for that specific program on your phone’s tiny screen, this is certainly going to be a lot more pleasant. DoubleTwist is currently working on an over-the-air (OTA) download method, which would allow you to send the apps to your phone without having to go through the hassle of scanning the QR code. That being said, it’s still a very useful application to have.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
