MTV has just announced the release of an update to its popular music discovery app – MTV Music Meter 2.0. Available on Android and iOS device, the app allows users to follow and stay up to date with their favorite artists, as well as check out song samples, music videos, photos, news, similar artists and rank them. Since its release in March 2011, the app has been downloaded over a million times.

Version 2.0 introduces a bunch of new features such as the ability to discover where and when trending artists are performing near you with tour date integration provided by Songkick. A new genre selector has also been included, which lets users view artist rankings by music categories including Up & Coming, Rock, Hip-Hop, Indie and Electronic Dance Music.

However, the app now includes ads – which may or may not bother some people, though it gives users a way to discover more content and products. MTV Music Meter is available now as a free download on the Android Market or Apple App Store. Sounds like a pretty handy tool for discovering new music. Give it a go and let us know what you think.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
