Soundhound - What's that song?

Sound Hound

I have had SoundHound on my phone for ages. When Shazam can out for free on the Amazon market I loaded it on my tablet played with it a few times and forgot about it because it was rather lame (bad orientation, cut of screens). Last night there was a song on the television I was trying to figure out what it was and after Shazam failed me again. So on a whim, I loaded Sound Hound and was very surprised it was tablet optimized and it works my better for me. Try it for yourself.
SoundHound includes:

  • The world's fastest music recognition: name tunes playing from a speaker in as little as four seconds - now unlimited
  • The world's only viable singing and humming recognition
  • Instant lyrics and artist info
  • Split-second Say search: just speak a title or band name to check it out
  • NEW: Unlimited IDs in this free version - get SoundHound Pro to go ad-free and enjoy more features
  • And there's more: Geotagging options, Facebook and Twitter sharing, previews, purchase links, full length YouTube videos, and your favorite artists' top songs and bios.

Glow hockey for your tablet

Glow Hockey

Glow Hockey is a free tablet app that if fun and colorful. It plays just like air hockey, the only thing it is missing, in my opinion, is 2 player. Not a bad time waster.
Give it a go.

Dolphin Browser Beta has working Flash

Dolphin Browser Flash Xoom

I downloaded the new Dolphin Browser beta today and although it has some orientation issues during set up (it wants to be held like a phone/portrait) it seems to be working well. This is my favorite browser on my Droid X for a number of reasons, color theming, a massive amount of plugins being the greatest attraction for myself. Yes, there are a few quirks in the beta but so far so good. We have a working Flash, no lag, and the ability to close Facebook chat windows in the browser.

So if you have a Xoom tablet you may want to
give the beta a go.

Beautiful Widgets -Beta works with Tablets

BWbeta

She is still a little rough around the edges but the beta is looking good. The only glaring issue I can find is when you go to set up the the toggles, the list comes up but it blank. You can still choose them and they work but you play guessing games on what you are selecting.

Try it for yourself. Download now.
