The list of Squeezebox devices ranges from the Squeezebox Boom, Squeezebox Touch, Squeezebox Duet or the Squeezebox Radio.</p><p>As you might have guessed, it was built by Squeezbox for its own devices, and the controls are “intuitive and seamless”.  Do you want the command of your Squeezebox?  This is the App for you.</p><p>Of course, you have to have a Squeezebox device in order to make this work.  I guess that really goes without saying, doesn’t it?  I figured I had to say it anyway.  Still, here is something that is worth noting.  This Logitech Squeezebox Controller is now available for the Android platform for free.</p><p >Popularity: 1% [?]</p><p >&#13;<br

Serve works similar to PayPal in that it allows users to create an account that can be used for sending or receiving money. Users can access their accounts from American Express’ Serve iOS and Android applications, via the Web, or through Facebook. Serve has two fees, including 2.9% plus $0.30 per load deposited, although this is discounted to 0$ for cash, debit, and ACH. Similarly, there’s a $2 fee on ATM cash withdrawals, although the first withdrawal each month is free. The good news is, American Express is waiving the deposit fee for the next six months. Serve lets users create a master account and you can create sub-accounts for friends or family members. American Express also provides a debit card with each Serve account that can be be used at any ATM or merchant that accepts American Express. “We are working with a range of partners to integrate Serve as a payment  method and deliver customized offers, and we will waive most consumer fees for  the next six months,” said Dan Schulman, Group President, Enterprise Growth at American Express. Hit the jump for the full release.</p><p><strong>American Express Announces Serve(SM), the Next Generation Digital  Payment PlatformServe Offers Person-to-Person, Online, Mobile, and Traditional Card Capabilities  in a Single Account </strong>NEW YORK,  March 28, 2011 –</p><p>American Express today unveiled Serve(SM), a digital payment and  commerce platform that gives consumers a new way to spend, send and receive  money with services that go beyond the existing global payment networks.</p><p>With Serve, consumers can make purchases and person-to-person (P2P) payments  online (serve.com), via mobile phones, and at millions of merchants who accept  American Express cards. Serve unifies multiple payment options into a single  account that can be funded from a bank account, debit, credit or charge card, or  by receiving money from another Serve account.</p><p>Serve is an easy-to-use, digital alternative aimed at consumers who currently  rely on cash, check and debit card. Serve accounts can be accessed via Serve  Apple iOS and Android applications, at Serve.com and through Facebook. Through  Serve, American Express aims to expand into new segments of the market that do  not rely on traditional charge and credit cards to manage their day-to-day  finances.</p><p>“Serve is a new type of payment platform that isn’t tied to a single card or  mobile operating system. It’s a flexible, easy to use platform, which from day  one brings tremendous assets to the alternative payments space and gives  consumers an option to shop on-line and off-line at millions of merchants who  accept American Express,” said Dan Schulman, Group President, Enterprise Growth,  American Express.</p><p>“We intend to quickly evolve the Serve platform by adding new features and  functionality as we learn from consumer and merchant experiences. To encourage a  broad cross-section of people to experience the benefits and convenience of  Serve, we are working with a range of partners to integrate Serve as a payment  method and deliver customized offers, and we will waive most consumer fees for  the next six months,” said Mr. Schulman.</p><p><strong>How it works</strong>Consumers set up an online account at Serve.com or through a smartphone app.  Funds can be added from bank accounts, debit cards, credit and charge cards, or  other Serve accounts. Customers can use those accounts to send and receive money  to friends, pay bills and make purchases online. Serve bridges online and  offline commerce – each customer will be issued a Serve reloadable prepaid card  linked to their Serve account that can be used at any merchant or ATM that  accepts American Express cards.</p><p>Unlike traditional debit card accounts, Serve offers users the ability to easily  create, manage, and specify sub-accounts for their friends, family members or  colleagues. Sub-accounts are linked to the master account and allow users to set  spending profiles for everything from children’s allowances to dog walker fees.</p><p>The Serve platform evolved from technology obtained through the acquisition of  Revolution Money in early 2010.</p><p>Serve is available immediately to anyone in the U.S. and is expected to launch  into other international markets over the coming year. American Express will  continue to evolve the features and functionality of Serve based on market  feedback. To gain consumer and merchant insights about Serve and to help shape  upcoming releases, a marketing pilot will also be conducted in Eugene, Oregon.</p><p><strong>Partnerships</strong>While payments are the foundation of the Serve platform, American Express is  also announcing a number of partners who will use the platform to deliver  relevant offers that drive spend and build loyalty. Three of the first partners  are Ticketmaster®, Concur® and Flipswap.</p><p>“A cornerstone of the long-term vision for Serve is developing partnerships  with commerce, gaming, entertainment, and social networking organizations,” said  Mr. Schulman. Partnerships, with players such as Ticketmaster, Concur and  Flipswap will introduce Serve to new customers and help build scale. These  companies have loyal communities of customers, and we are thrilled to partner  with them as we grow and expand Serve’s reach.”</p><p>Ticketmaster will offer Serve as a platform for customers to make and collect  payments toward ticket purchases from other customers. Concur will utilize Serve  as an expense management and reimbursement method for transactions processed via  Concur’s small business expense reporting service, Concur Breeze. Flipswap will  utilize Serve to issue refunds more quickly to consumers who sell or trade in  their old mobile and cell phones for reuse or recycling.</p><p>Details around these and a number of additional partnerships will be announced  over the coming months.</p><p><strong>Giving Back Widget</strong>Serve is also partnering with five major charities – <em>Autism Speaks, Best  Friends Animal Society, Malaria No More, Save The Children and Stand Up For Kids</em> – to enable each organization to raise funds via a donations widget. Widgets can  be downloaded on Serve.com and at  facebook.com/paywithserve, and shared on other Web sites, including Facebook,  to encourage donations. Serve will match all contributions via the widget up to  $100,000 for each charity.</p><p>In the coming months, Serve will offer selling widgets that give customers the  ability to sell items through their own social networks.</p><p><strong>Highly Competitive Fees Waived for Launch</strong>Serve consumer fees will be highly competitive. There are only two fees for  consumers and we are waiving the fee to put money into the Serve account for the  next six (6) months. The two fees are:</p><ul><li>Putting money into a Serve account: 2.9% + 30c/per load, discounted to  	0% for cash, debit and ACH.</li><li>ATM cash withdrawal (after first one each month free): $2.00</li></ul><p>Unlike some other products in the market, Serve has no fees to open an  account, no monthly fees, no fees for P2P transactions, no fees to set up  sub-accounts (up to four accounts) and no fees to use the widgets.</p><p>Merchants who accept American Express cards will pay a prepaid discount rate for  transactions made both in stores and online with a Serve prepaid card.</p><p><strong>Investor Conference Call – Live Audio Webcast</strong>A conference call with members of the investment community will be held today  March 28, 2011, at 11:00 am EDT. The call will be hosted by Dan Schulman, Group  President, Enterprise Growth, American Express.</p><p>Live audio of the conference call will be accessible to the general public at http://ir.americanexpress.com. A  replay of the conference call will also be available at the same Web site  address.</p><p><strong>About Serve</strong>Serve, by American Express, is a next generation payment platform designed to  deliver emerging payments and services to address the changing ways consumers  interact and exchange money — with one another — as well as merchants.

While the more-popular LSDJ tracker is powerful, Nanoloop’s interface was unlike anything I’d seen before: aggressively minimal, it embodies in its interface design the feeling of a blank sheet of paper. Adding an idea feels like composition, like genuinely exploring open-ended possibilities and discovering what melodies may result. Now, Nanoloop – already on iOS – is available for Android, too.</p><p>It remains simple stuff, the sense of what a music maker looks like when designed for your hand rather than translated to mobile from desktop, studio-style workstations. There are six fixed channels, each assignable to a synth (FM, noise, or filtered wave) or a sampler. Then, each channel takes eight patterns. There’s a step sequencer, the ability to resample, and song editor with loops. The sampling capabilities are especially nice on Android, as you can now sample from the mic or load samples right onto the SD card. (The mic you can use on iOS, but not the SD card, of course.) You can export OGG files to your library, turning your Android device into a DJ-set-ready pocket music library, or send and receive projects via email. Via iTunes, you can even exchange files with the iPhone version, in case you have an Android phone and an iPod touch or some similar arrangement.</p><p><img

It’s not for chip music, or emulating game consoles. It’s for … well, Android music. But make no mistake: while the tool feels fresh and native to the new platform, it also carries the spirit of the Game Boy version. And that spirit is handheld music making, not just the aesthetics of the chip, but the feeling of using a minimal device scaled to your hands, something you can use on the go.</p><p>Oliver tells CDM that he has used a lot of native code (via the NDK), as he did non-object-oriented C (not Objective-C) in the iOS version. He says it’s about 1:1 C and Java: “I could use the iOS code almost unmodified and get the sound engine and touch input to work immediately. I had an almost fully working nanoloop within few days – without any graphics though.Now I ‘just’ had to write Java code for GUI, file access, recording functions and the different menu structure.”</p><p>The results, he says, are a little strange if you’re looking at the code (lots of getters and setters, C mixed with Java), but it works well.</p><p>Android owners, I’d love to hear how this works on your device. Let us know – just be sure to fill out a bug report. As the Market page notes:</p><blockquote ><p> Nanoloop works on a variety of devices, including HTC Desire, Motorola Droid and also midrange phones such as HTC Legend and XPERIA X10 mini. However, this is the first release and of course it has not been tested on all Android devices yet. If you experience crashes or other problems, please report them via e-mail or the anonymous bug report form at www.nanoloop.com. Thank you.</p></blockquote><p>Now if we can just have some luck with Bluetooth MIDI at our hacklab tomorrow, this could be another candidate.</p><p>Oh, and most of all, I’d love to hear the music you make.</p><p>nanoloop on the Android Market (a stunning EUR1 … that’s a no-brainer. Better than an espresso shot!)</p><p>nanoloop.de [iOS, Android]</p><p>See our previous Android music round-up</p><p>For the historical record, here’s nanoloop for Game Boy on CDM – from 2004. It’s actually come quite a ways since that release, but the spirit is the same.http://createdigitalmusic.com/2004/11/updated-nanoloop-20-game-boy-instrument/</p><p><a

One in 3 American smartphone users have Android — which was during the finish of February. It’s Apr now, so the numbers have been certainly higher, formed upon the three-month trend. Holy Moly.</p><p>Two months ago, ComScore disclosed interpretation for the 3 months finale in December. For which period, Android marketplace share rose 7.3 points; 7 points during the some-more new three-month period. Since the finish of September, then, Android marketplace share rose from 21.4 percent to 33 percent. To be clear: This is tangible subscriber share, definition the implement bottom of U.S. mobile users, not units shipped over 3 months.</p><p>Have we beheld which Apple has proposed to aggressively publicize iPhone 4 upon radio again? Android’s gains have been certainly the vital reason, afterwards there is launch of iPhone upon Verizon.</p><p>But Apple is treading water, with iOS stability the prosaic expansion citation with subscriber share of about twenty-five percent, again — this time 25.2 percent, up from twenty-five percent 3 months earlier. However, iPhone share rose by .09 percent, for the biggest gains between the top-five manufacturers — that’s 7.5 percent up from 6.6 percent. Samsung leads with 24.8 percent share.</p><p>ComScore surveyed 30,000 U.S. mobile subscribers to accumulate the data, as well as that’s the helluva large sample. According to ComScore, 69.5 million Americans owned smartphones during the finish of February, up thirteen percent from 3 months earlier. Only Android as well as iOS gained share — 7.2 points combined.</p><p>By the way, ComScore’s numbers primarily demeanour great for the Verizon iPhone — the “most acquired handset” in February. But perplexing to cut the numbers multiform ways, we do not see where they lead to 1 million first sales, as the little analysts have speculated — as well as the Apple air blower bar of blogs as well as headlines sites shamlessly reported as fact. Remember, Apple as well as Verizon won’t contend how many units shipped, which isn’t standard of an iPhone launch of this stature.</p><p>Android’s smartphone subscriber gains have been zero reduced of unusual as well as clearly unstoppable. That puts Research in Motion, which share declined 4.6 percent over 3 months, as well as Apple in difficult spots. RIM is right away entering giveaway fall, from the height perspective. Android as well as iOS have been where the apps are. While Apple leads by perfect series of mobile apps, Android gains continually.</p><p>Developers typically go where the income is. As Windows PCs have shown, the height with biggest series of users offers the largest economies of scale. Android is headed in the right direction, whilst RIM’s BlackBerry OS is starting the wrong way. Apple is consistent, which is worthy performance, though the numbers need to be bigger to win the mobile height wars.</p><p>Answering the Question</p><p>Can Android be stopped? Should it be? The answer is complex.</p><p>1. As the Personal Computer marketplace has shown, standardization around the single, widespread height is hugely beneficial. Developers can write applications once which many people can have make use of of anywhere. Standardization additionally is great for ancillary hardware, such as peripherals. There have been outrageous benefits to businesses as well as consumers as well as to the ecosystem of third-parties ancillary the platform.</p><p>2. However, Macintosh’s marketplace share gains over the past decade uncover which developers as well as alternative third parties will await the second or even third platform. Since Apple non-stop the initial sell store in May 2001, Mac’s U.S. marketplace share rose from about 2 percent to scarcely 10 percent in fourth monthly calendar entertain 2010. Mac OS X launched in 2001, with meagre series of apps. There have been copiousness today, as well as there would be fewer or nothing if developers weren’t creation money.</p><p>3. The dungeon phone marketplace has prolonged upheld mixed platforms in assorted degrees of dominance. BlackBerry OS, Palm OS, Symbian as well as Windows Mobile were successful in varying ways prior to iOS as well as Android handsets debuted, in 2007 as well as 2008, respectively. Right right away the marketplace is combined around 5 vital mobile handling systems. Android, BlackBerry OS, iOS, Symbian as well as Windows Phone 7/Mobile. Windows Phone will reinstate Symbian, as Nokia switches first handling systems. These 5 (four by 2013) have been becoming different places though none’s upon all sides is nonetheless certain.</p><p>4. Microsoft-Nokia is unexpected the furious label able of rocking the market. As we posted dual days ago, Google as well as Microsoft have been the usually approach competitors between the vital handset OS developers. Android as well as Windows Phone have been protected by third parties — not Android, Blackberry or iOS. IDC predicts Windows Phone 7/Mobile will be second to Android in smartphone OS shipments by 2015. I’m doubtful of IDC’s forecast, for reasons eccentric of the marketplace intensity (like new longed for predictions as well as flighty mobile market). But if Microsoft as well as Nokia can get handsets to marketplace fast with great applications as well as services upheld by the handset maker’s outrageous production as well as placement network, Windows Phone could put the breaks upon Android — in any case of where presumably ends up in the marketplace share race. Quite possibly, rsther than than the single gaining over the other, fiercer foe for same handset manufacturers as well as developers could have approach for any or all of the end-to-end competitors to pull ahead.</p><p>5. Android’s fragmentation undermines the platform’s appeal. As of Apr 1, usually 2.5 percent of Android inclination ran the newest versions — 2.3 or 2.3.3, according to central Android Developers stats; that’s up from 1.7 percent dual weeks earlier, by the way. The others: 63.9 percent Android 2.2; 27.2 percent v2.1; 3.5 percent v1.6; as well as 2.7 percent v1.5. Android 2.3 expelled about 4 months ago. But the fragmentation is broader, with Android 3.x for tablets. As Nokia already has shown with Symbian, fragmentation diminishes the end-user knowledge as well as creates problems for developers as well as their customers. Just since Android gobbles up marketplace share similar to Pac-Man, doesn’t meant the broader height will yield the applications people wish many or can have make use of of simply enough.</p><p>6. Apple’s mobile height is the many constrained choice right now, as well as it will be until some-more of the competing handling systems — similar to Android, BlackBerry as well as WebOS — boat upon tablets as well as alternative inclination in further to mobile handsets. The cloud-connected device epoch is bigger than smartphones. Apple offers the height which beam from $49 iOS inclination to $2,499 Mac OS X laptops.</p><p><a

The website is shown but the application list is empty. This is what we see:</p><p>“Failed to load application list. Try again later.”</p><p>This is since over 18 hours now. We would like to upload new releases as we promised to our customers. We just got the first two complains. Why do we developers don’t get any information about outages???</p></blockquote><p>Many other developers have taken to the forum to report they are suffering from the same problem, some expressing dismay at the fact a Google employee hasn’t acknowledged the errors despite the fact the issue was raised three days previous.</p><p>Those who were persistent enough have been able to upload and update applications, resubmitting requests via the Android Developer Console until uploads or edits were recognised.</p><p>With upload or edit functionality temporarily unavailable, it is possible some developers are missing out on issuing updates and bug fixes for paid apps, potentially affecting sales volumes.</p><p><a
