Alien Dalvik enables the majority of Android applications to run unmodified, allowing application store owners to quickly kick start Android application store services by simply repackaging Android Package (APK) files.

From a user perspective, Alien Dalvik is completely transparent. Alien Dalvik applications appear as native and can be seamlessly installed on device without user disruption. All the user sees is that he now has access to a wider range of applications, thus encouraging a higher frequency of downloads and increased ARPU.

“The proliferation of Android has been staggering, but there is still room for growth. By extending Android to other platforms, we are opening up the market even further, creating new audiences and revenue opportunities,” said Simon Wilkinson, Chief Executive Officer, Myriad Group.

From application components to complete device integration, Myriad provides best-in-class Android solutions. As a founding member of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), Myriad has been playing a key role in Android solutions since its early days. When partnering with Myriad for Android application development or porting, operators, OEMs and application store owners will benefit from Myriad’s rich heritage in Java technology and unique Android expertise.

Myriad Alien Dalvik will be commercially available later this year on the MeeGo platform. Other platform support will be announced in the coming months. Alien Dalvik will be demonstrated for the first time on the Nokia N900 at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from February 14th-17th at the Myriad hospitality suite located at The Avenue, Stand AV91.

The QMobile app allows you to stream music, digital pictures, and videos from the NAS server and play directly on the Android smartphone using 3G or wireless connection. It can also transfer your picture from the smartphone to NAS server directly. Other than the Android version, the company has already released the QMobile app for iPhone users.

We’re excited to announce that the Box app for Android is now available as a free app for all devices that support Android OS 2.0 and above. The app is fully optimized for the Android platform, making it easy to access and share all your business content faster than ever before (this is by far the speediest app we’ve ever built!), and because search is a cornerstone of Google and Android, we’ve built sophisticated search functionality into the application, with full text search capabilities for users on the Business plan. Lastly, the Box app lets you upload any photos, documents or media from your Android device directly to Box, basically eliminating any concerns about local storage limitations.

Second, today we demonstrated new mobile editing capabilities for Google Docs on the Android platform and the iPad. In the next few weeks, co-workers around the world will soon be able to co-edit files simultaneously from an even wider array of devices.

“We are pleased to announce QMobile application as the first multimedia app for the connection between NAS and Android devices. For now, both iPhone and Android users can have fun with their mobile device and QNAP NAS,” said James Wu, Product Manager of QNAP Systems, Inc. “Users no longer need to be concerned about synchronizing the multimedia contents to the mobile device. They can save storage space of the mobile device and get a compelling user experience with QMobile,” James Wu added. QMobile is compatible with Android 1.5/1.6/2.1 platforms, and needs to be used with a QNAP NAS server running V3.3.0 management software or above.

“These applications are just another example of how we offer our users a true handsfree experience and a seamless integration between their BlueAnt device and their smartphone,” said Taisen Maddern, Executive Chairman of BlueAnt Wireless. “The applications also demonstrate that our commitment to supporting our users continues long after they leave the store. As well as adding extra features and enhancements through free applications such as these, we also release regular firmware upgrades to add new features to our devices. These are available for users to download from our website, free of charge, and apply to their BlueAnt device.”

The applications work with any Android handset running Android OS 2.0 or above, and are available as a free download for all S4 and T1 owners.

“Kindle for Android is the perfect companion application for Kindle and Kindle DX owners, and is also a great way for customers to enjoy over 540,000 books in the Kindle Store even if they don’t yet have a Kindle,” said Jay Marine, director, Amazon Kindle. “We think customers are going to love the convenience and simplicity of having instant access to a massive selection of books from Amazon on their Droid, Nexus, Incredible and many more Android devices.”
