Best site for nexus one / android news?

Hey guys I usually have a list of bookmarked sites I go to to see if there is anything new I don't know about. Since I am still pretty new to the android community I was wondering if anyone knows of news sites / blogs about the nexus one that gives DAILY news. Daily being the key... otherwise I could just do google searches myself but I would rather have a site that gets all the daily news for me.
Currently I use:
- Android central news section
- Phandroid news section
- Android community news section
- Android Guys
- Android and Me
- Download squad
- Android tapp
Probably my favorite so far is Android guys and Android tapp. The other ones are ok but sometimes have periods of 3-4 days without an update.
Does anyone know of any other good nexus one / android websites that give daily news updates?

Lol, Daily I get it...
Open up the News widget, create a custom new source, type in "Android". BOOM all daily news about Android from dozens of different sites every day.
Just watch out because there are often Apple-fanboyish sites like PC World that spin every single piece of Android news into something negative and end with some rubbish about Apple being better.
But at least it's daily
www.engadgetmobile.com is also the best site hands down for all mobile news. I love Android, but I like to keep up on ALL gadget news, not just tunnel vision Android

Androidspin is my favorite,try it.

I like phandroid and androidspin

You're an Android user right? On the news widget, I added the custom news topics named "Nexus One" and "Android". You'll get updates daily (it can even post more than one update in a day). Feel free to add more topics that you want to follow.
You can also use news.google.com like this http://news.google.com/news/search?aq=0&pz=1&cf=all&ned=en_ph&hl=en&q=nexus+one&oq=nexus

Like Androidspin & Androidguys!

I was about to bookmark androidguys but the page doesn't display properly and icons overlap text in every headline and topic description. I cant imagine anything more ironic than an android site not displaying properly on an android phone. However my stock browser has given me hell since the beginning so it might just b my phone. Also I don't really know how to use the word "ironic"

The Top Free Android Apps

Hi folks,
I've posted about this in the Hero forum some time back, but I'm rocking the Desire now and I hope that you might have use for it as well. I've tried to gather the top free apps Android has to offer, with descriptions, links back to the developers' websites, QR codes and hands-on videos. It's currently more than a 100 apps divided in 11 categories, and I always try to keep the list up-to-date.
What do you guys think of it? Any ideas on how I can improve the guide? Did I miss to include any great apps?
Here's the URL if you want to check it out:
The Ever-Growing List of Awesome Android Apps
Cheers
-- Lars

nice
Nice list, i really liked Buzz Deck and issuu

Have made some major updates to the top free Android apps guide, and it now includes the best widgets and live wallpapers as well. There are of course some good apps missing, but it should be pretty complete and up-to-date.

Running isn't the only form of working out.
JEFit is a fantastic weight lifting application.
VPlayer is a great video player for playing non-native video formats and is vastly superior to rockplayer.
Colornote is a good notes application.
Movies is fantastic if you're into cinema.

thnx 4 ur effort=)

found a few nice apps, also saw some I already had.
thanks

Great idea, thanks. I honestly read these and find them helpful from time to time, which says a lot since I ignore the vast majority of typical low quality internet publications in general.
Nru is another AR app similar to Layar.

Attention, one comment on Amazon says that this book was badly port from Apple App Store to Google Play.

Exchange Reviews with other developers
Lets face it, become successful on Google Play market is nothing easy, yes you need a very unique app but you also need a good marketing campaign in order to get enough downloads and a good rating, most indie developers can't afford that. But wait... there are many apps submitted everyday to android market, that means there are many developers trying to show their own apps, so that means... we are a lot.
Why not help us each others?
Join AndroidKi community and Exchange reviews with other developers!
How it works?
In order to submit your app to get reviewed, you need to review other 3 apps too. Each review gives you 5 AndroidKi points, you need 15 to submit your app. Simple, effective and SEO friendly.

Community help with marketing
Here on XDA I have seen many members collaborate which is great. Nobody is perfect but we can combine our knowledge and create something which is really amazing. This is one of the reasons I like XDA for. :good:
Currently there are threads for developers who are looking for testers, translators and designers.
However, it is a shame if we create fantastic apps and nobody is downloading them.
To bring the collaboration to the next level I set up this thread.
Developers, here are your marketing experts.
This thread is divided into different sections for different purposes.
If you want to participate, send me a PM with a link to your profile and tell me what you are skilled in. I will add you to the list.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO):
Your app needs to be found using search.
Waiting for you to be the first one...

Demo videos and screenshots:
If you present your app in an app store, the first thing in addition to the description your consumers see are the screenshots and the demo video. Providing a demo video is a huge advantage. It is one of the best opportunities to present your app to your costumer.

Yooo man you always come up with something special for us Developers...
Cheers!!

Really great idea and something i could do with right about now! Hope this goes to plan

If I have the time, I'll see if I can write up a more comprehensive marketing guide covering the pricing and promotion strategies and aspects of marketing. Both are really important, especially for this market, and quite a few times I've seen apps that seem to have potential hindered by a not-so-smart/appropriate pricing/promotion strategy that the dev have in place :/

Would be amazing! :good:

Added app reviews category.

Exchange Reviews with other developers
Today Android marketing is very expensive right now, so why not a review exchange?
androidki[.]com
Androidki is a exchange review web totally for free, your app can be reviewed by the web authors and also by other users in the web.
Also reviews are schema.org standarized so the reviews will also appear on google results
Best of luck with your android app!

Well I guess I'll toss my hat into the ring for some more reviews.
I'm doing a little android blog/review thing. It's in VERY early beta and i'm playing with it everyday so it'll be changing plenty.
http://androidsexplained.com/reviews.php
That's the reviews page, I already got a few big apps up, and bunch more I have to upload.
Basically its gonna be the standard bigger apps, and I want to have a good section focusing on the smaller and indie developers. Give some love back to XDA and all that.
Every little bit helps, so if you need a review feel free to message me on here or mail me at [email protected]

Seeing your avatar, I guess that it is Feed the Sheep.

So, you just published your app, but are not getting downloads? Lemme help you there

I just added a new social app recommendation feature to List My Apps which is geared towards discovering the lesser known apps on Google Play. In a nutshell it is a quid pro quo mechanism where users recommend their favorite 'underdog apps' and in return discover what other users consider to be interesting.
Want to promote your own app? Here's how:
Download List My Apps.
Select your app along with two or three other (interesting) apps.
Hit the 'Browse' button
For best results, repeat steps 2 and 3 after a few hours with a different set of apps (optionally: have your friends vote as well). However, don't overdo it.The system is designed to punish gaming.

does the userbase of List My Apps matter? It doesn't seem like much but I think it's a great idea. I'll try it out.

Sounds interesting - will give it a try...

Thanks
Thanks, I'll give it a try. Its nice to find a different type of tool to drive downloads.

I'll try this. Thanks.

Not quite sure what you mean with that.
LMA's target audience is people who provide app recommendations to their social circle. In other words: multipliers. These are the people you want to reach if you want to increase download count.

You should also be doing this with swably and playboard

Whoops, sorry. Copy&paste Typo in the second link -> *FIXED*

thanks.downloaded.

And just pushed a new release. Enjoy!

will try seems better than swably which spams your twitter if you are not careful and it uploads instead of giving some views to the google store, so its not so good.
