Popular music streaming service Rhapsody has leaped on the Nexus One publicity bandwagon, today revealing a public beta test of its music streaming app for Android. The good news is you don’t have to have blown $529 on one of the new Google devices – Rhapsody says its Android app will work on all Android phones and OS versions, even the antiquated old G1.
And look, Rhapsody’s showing the music app working on an HTC Magic. The EuroDroid Magic is still considered current-gen, even today, after Nexus Day. Hooray.
If you want to sign up because you live somewhere where Spotify isn’t available, head over to Rhapsody’s Facebook page – where you can email them to register to take part in the public beta test. If you’re not a current Rhapsody subscriber, don’t worry – you can test out the app FOR FREE for seven days.
The sign-up email asks for “city/state” details which makes us think it’s probably going to be a US-only beta, plus Rhapsody’s “Unlimited” web service isn’t available in the UK – but we shall see. Android is an international world of love that transcends international boundaries, right?
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ May 19, 2011Zune and iPod: Most individuals.compare the Zune to the Touch, however after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light-weight it is, I take into account it to be a slightly distinctive hybrid that.combines qualities of each the Contact and the Nano. It’s totally colorful and lovely OLED display screen is slightly smaller than the touch display, however the player itself feels fairly a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/three as a lot, and is noticeably smaller in width and top, while being just a hair thicker.
