Chrome for Android. Those are three words that many Android fans have been patiently waiting to hear for quite a while (aside from speculation and rumor, that is), and it’s finally here. I’ve spent the biggest part of the day playing with the new browser, and it’s already the default browser on both my Transformer Prime and Galaxy Nexus. Yeah, it’s that good.Before we take a closer look, though, I want you to keep in mind that it’s wearing the beta tag, so it is a bit buggy. There are quirks, missing features, and simple oversights. What we’re really looking at here is potential. Official Android Police t-shirts are now on sale, with over 25 designs to call yours.Done With This Post?

Okay, so Redditastic isn’t technically an app, but it is a pretty sweet widget that lets you throw your favorite subreddits on one of your homescreens. Unfortunately it’s only currently available for devices running Honeycomb or ICS, and it probably won’t see any previous builds of Android simply because scrollable widgets aren’t supported by them unless you use a custom launcher. That being said, if you do own a supported device, this Reddit widget is definitely one to check out.OverviewWhat’s cool about Redditastic is that it lets you create individual widgets for each of your favorite subreddits. You can also choose to have the feed populate with hot, new, top, and controversial threads. Official Android Police t-shirts are now on sale, with over 25 designs to call yours.Done With This Post?

Powow: Text Messaging is an alternative messaging app made by Handmark, the company that produced One Louder Apps. Now, I know that you’re thinking about all of the other messaging apps on the Market and want to know what makes this one special. The fact of the matter is that only a small percentage of the endless waves of similar apps are worth using, and despite missing a couple key features, Powow is one of few I would consider fully committing to.FeaturesAs I mentioned before, this app does miss a few key features, but we’ll get to that later.

I have a confession to make: I’m a system stat whore. Not just on my PCs, either – I want to know what’s up on all my devices, all the time. I’ve been using OS Monitor on my tablets for quite a while now, and while the information it provides is useful, it doesn’t encompass all of the info that I wanted to see at a glance. Furthermore, it doesn’t offer support for quad-core devices like the Transformer Prime.Enter Tablet CPU Usage Monitor, which recently received an update that brings multi-core support (including support for quad-core processors). After spending a few minutes with this app, I can say that it’s exactly what I’ve wanted for many months.

OnLive, the company that has already revolutionized gaming is now gunning for making the same kind of splash in OS virtualization. And not just any OS virtualization, but Windows 7 in the cloud, for free – a set of words I never thought I’d write in the same sentence.Something worth pointing out right off the bat is OnLive’s “groundbreaking video compression technology” that is used to stream the Desktop cloud to your tablet. If there’s one company that has figured out how to perfect streaming of full-screen media, it’s definitely OnLive. I was a bit skeptical at first, but after trying out every aspect of the app through a relatively slow, Spanish Vodafone HSPA+ hotspot here in Barcelona, I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed.

Volume control on Android can be kind of a pain to manage, as there’s multiple volume settings that need to be managed, but it’s not always obvious what settings you’re adjusting when. Slider Widget simplifies this process by placing all five independent volume controls, as wells a brightness control setting, on your homescreen in one convenient widget.The widget not only displays what level the various settings are at, but gives the user a handy slider for adjusting each one without taking up a ton of space on the homescreen. The stock power widget (and the manufacturer variations thereof) generally only allow you to adjust the brightness to a couple of preset levels, and volume buttons only affect whatever volume level you’re currently using.

There has been a trend lately of apps being released that act more like traditional floating windows. LilyPad HD, OverSkeen, and AirTerm have all garnered a lot of interest, but they are single use apps. Floating Widget does just what its name suggests: it makes widgets float on top of your apps. The implementation is a little odd at first, but once you learn the rules, Floating Widget is useful in a number of situations.Getting StartedThe actual Floating Widget app isn’t the most intuitive, and the instructions it offers at start-up are hard to follow until you actually dive in.
