It is safe to say that Ghosttown is the app for music streaming, as this is exactly the thought behind the creation of this android app by the folks at Ghosttown Music. This is the app wherein you can search in YouTube any songs that you want for streaming onto your cellular phone or android devices.

The beauty of the Ghosttown app apart from enabling you to search, sift or download the songs you want is in the simplicity of the applications. In fact, compare to other android apps this app will not give you the same headache or annoyance that others has given you.

Moreover, the songs you found in YouTube is easy to add to your playlists or favorites, so you do not have to hunt for them again, and you can share them if you want with your family or friends. Take note, I will not be astonished to learn that this is exactly what you will do as most Android users will do the same once they download the app to their android device.

By the way, the Ghosttown app is free and downloadable in Android Market. You can take advantage of this app if you have an android device and since there is no limit to the number of songs that you can add to your playlists then you can enjoy every song you want, in audio form. The app also works very well with cellular phone with 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Ghosttown app is possible to download while still available, as authorities can shut it down because of the Copyright Law.  So, getting this app while still available is a good idea.

The Wall Street Journal is a well-known newspaper in the U.S but it is more than just another newspaper as this is the largest one in terms of circulation.

Now, this newspaper may be 122 years old but it is moving with the times as there is an Android app now available.

The Wall Street Journal app is perfect for those who wants to stay updated with the current news and for those who does not have the time to read newspaper. There may be news available in the internet as well, but having a newspaper as Android app is still different.

Just like in a regular newspaper, the Wall Street Journal app will also provide the news, analysis and views that readers of this newspaper enjoy. The best thing about this Android app is that you can save the news for later viewing and reading if you want too, in case you are busy. The multimedia of your phone also allows you to view the videos, browse the photos as well as the podcast.

The Wall Street Journal app is downloadable by anyone since it is free but to receive the news you must subscribe to it first.

If you do not mind paying additional subscription fee then this newspaper app is a great android app to consider. The fact that it already receives great reviews in the market, only means many people consider it as a useful android apps that is worth downloading.

The Chinese are open to innovation especially when it comes to cellular phones, with their TV and dual SIM cell phones as evidence of this fact. Now, once again another manufacturing company is about to enter the smartphone market. The Vision as called by Huawei will soon be available and according to them, their smartphone has all the features and specs to compete with the big names.

The Vision is a smartphone that comes with a 3.7” display, Gingerbread and 3D interface customized by Huawei for the operating system of the device. By the way, HTC has the same OS type for their devices as well. So, it makes everyone wonder which one stays at the top once the phone is out.

Huawei maybe a new player but there is no doubt the “Vision” is going to be something. The specs of this phone still not revealed but many people expect already that it will be top of the line. In fact, the probability that it will also be like the present smartphone with front camera, 4G connect and dual core processors is huge.

In addition, Huawei mentioned as well that by the end of the year an upgrade to Icecream is also to be expected. The prototype definitely makes an upgrade a big possibility, so there is a lot to like with the phone that could rival HTC and Samsung.

If you are wondering when you can finally get a hold of the “Vision”, the recent announcement also proclaim that this smartphone will make its debut in style, and will be officially out in the second half of this year. The cost will range $400 to $657 as estimated, but this is just a wild guess by expert. You can reserve your reaction to the price as soon as Vision is out in the market, so we can judge fairly whether it is worth the price tag.
