| Flicksquare Sends Your Foursquare Check-In Photos To Flickr | Top |
| Inspired by a tweet from First Round Capital VC Charlie O’Donnell ( “Can someone hack a Foursquare app that cc’s my checkin photos to Flickr?” ), developer Benny Wong has created Flicksquare, an app that takes advantage of Foursquare’s recent enabling of photo check-in features , allowing you to also send your Foursquare photos to Flickr . While Foursquare gave lip service to working on the Flickr and Facebook export capability a couple of weeks ago, Wong has beat it to the punch. Along with being able to automatically publish photos to Flickr, Flicksquare also includes data like the name of venue checked-in to as well as a link to your Foursquare check-in on Flickr’s photo info. Wong even included Foursquare’s machine tags when About Foursquare made the request . You can keep tabs on the photos being sent through the Flicksquare site and turn the service off if you plain old get tired of it. Wong says he’s taken aback by how much positive response the service has engendered since its launch, “Im surprised its being so well received; I spent an afternoon throwing this together since I’m in NY and I was snowed in on Sunday.” Thanks to Wong and Foursquare, you can now check into the Snowocalypse 2010 venue with a photo and simultaneously send that photo to Flickr.

| Footage Of Android's Revamped Music Player Leaks | Top |
| Earlier this week, some folks over on the XDA developers forum got their hands on a leaked test build of a revamped Android music player that could possibly be shipping with Android’s next OS upgrade, Honeycomb. This evening the footage was spotted by Engadget, and now the word is spreading like wildfire: Android is going to get a default music player that isn’t totally mediocre. Alright, maybe I’m being a little harsh — the music player that ships with the stock build of Android can play music just fine. But it’s also underwhelming, especially when compared to the iPhone’s much slicker music application. It’s drab and there’s nothing like Apple’s Cover Flow — but all that’s changing. As you can see in the video above, the new music app includes a lot more color, flourishes like volume meters next to the currently playing song, and a more visual album view that looks similar to Android’s image viewer. It looks like a solid improvement, but there’s still one feature that isn’t shown: the music store that Google previewed at its I/O conference in May. Google hasn’t said anything about this since, and there are rumors that its efforts to launch a music service have been delayed. Update : A comment on the XDA forum (and one of our comments below) indicate that the app does in fact reference streaming functionality, but it isn’t functional. On the plus side, if you don’t feel like waiting for this new Android music app to ship, there are plenty of other options including PowerAMP and DoubleTwist , which also offers desktop software for managing your media and a very cool new wireless sync feature .
