    Want to know just how strong your cellphone signal is? Now there’s a map and an app for that.

    OpenSignalMaps uses our Android smartphones as probes, crowdsourcing locations of cellular towers and their strength. See the 'black spots' that will kill your call, and where reception will be best.

    Developed by Staircase 3, the company plans to create accurate signal maps with its Android app and OpenSignalMaps website. The company says the beta version of its Android app OpenSignalMaps has been downloaded more than 80,000 times, as you can see by its maps, the crowd of Android users (mainly in the U.S.) has already contributed millions of signal strength readings.


    Download the app using the QR code above, or by searching the Market for OpenSignal.

    Take a look at the images below and you’ll see how OpenSingleMaps, a Google Maps mashup, shows its data two different ways: pinpointing cell towers and then showing a heat map of cell coverage.

    Tweetdeck is something that sits open on my desktop 24x7, usually annoying people with its constant chirping. I swear by it, and have waited for Tweetdeck for Android for some time.



    I'm very happy to say, it's almost ready!

    Evidently, it's "more than just Tweetdeck on Android." :
    First off, we've built Android TweetDeck from the ground up to be true multi-stream, laser focused on showing you all your friends' cross-service activity in one app. Multi-column is still the order of the day but now columns are blended based on the type of activity rather than the service. And all this whilst retaining the most powerful functionality from each included service.
    Keep your eyes peeled for announcements of availability. We will let you know as soon as we do!
