Free app offers Macbook Air prize draw in October, sponsorship deal with SMP gives away music prizes
Appysnap, the iPhone app which challenges players to complete photo-based missions in return for prizes, is available for free to Android-based smartphones from today (Tuesday 11th October).
Appysnap - Snaps
Android users will now be able to collect points and win prizes in return for taking snaps of everyday places, people and themes.
While Appysnap has given away Amazon Kindles, iPods and gift certificates on a weekly basis since launch, players have the chance to win a Macbook Air in October. Every time a player completes a mission by taking a photo, they'll be entered into the prize draw at the end of the month; the more missions a player enters, the greater their chance of winning the prize.
Appysnap is also announcing its first commercial sponsorship deal with ShareMyPlaylists.com (SMP), the music-sharing community for over 100,000 Spotify users. SMP will be sponsoring a series of music-based Appysnap missions in November, with music-related prizes for the winners.
Co-founder Paul Smith says: "It's been a really exciting time for Appysnap since launch. We've been constantly improving the experience for iPhone players since launch, but the number one request has been for an Android version which we're delighted to release today."
Keiron Donaghue, founder of ShareMyPlaylists.com said: "Appysnap is one of the most exciting and interesting apps I've seen, with huge potential for marketing businesses by driving traffic - whether that's through a store's front door, or to a website. I'm very happy SMP is the first to utilise Appysnap to market ShareMyPlaylists.com in an innovative and unique way."
Appysnap, which has players across Europe (in particular the UK, Holland and Ireland) and the US, also plans to launch location-based missions shortly, which will allow players to complete mission s specific to their city or neighbourhood.

Amazon.com has updated its Kindle Android app with features designed to tap into the Honeycomb interface currently found on the Motorola Xoom and T-Mobile's LG G-Slate.
Available now at Amazon's Appstore for Android, Kindle for Android 3.0 is geared for all Android devices but takes special advantage of the larger displays and other attributes offered by Honeycomb-powered tablets.
The updated version offers a virtual bookshelf that stretches across the screen to let people visually browse and view titles at the Kindle store. The new interface also provides quicker access to customer reviews, recommendations, and other items of interest to book buyers. Further, Amazon has tweaked the layout for magazines and newspapers so that readers can now see full color images on their tablets.
Beyond the improvements for large-screen tablets, the Kindle Android app now gives people the ability to pause and resume downloads of any item. A built-in dictionary with more than 250,000 entries and definitions is also included, according to Amazon. Finally, the update throws in a slew of bug fixes and support for the German language.
"We've...created a beautiful new user interface and a seamless shopping experience tailored to the look and feel of Honeycomb tablets," Amazon Kindle Director Dorothy Nicholls said in a statement.
As always, the Kindle app comes with Amazon's Whispersync feature, which synchronizes books and bookmarks across a range of devices so that people can move from phone to tablet to Kindle reader to PC without losing their place.
Starting later this year, Kindle e-reader owners and Kindle app users will also be able to borrow electronic books from 11,000 libraries.

However, Forbes said it's unclear whether the new Android tablet would use the Streak brand name and be part of the same family, reporting that the device at this point is still "unbranded."
Dell has also been busy trying to gear up a new 10-inch Windows 7 tablet. This tablet will reportedly be delayed until the fall, said Forbes, following an initial announcement from Dell that it would reach consumers by the middle of 2011.They probably are smart to move it UP to June because thats when everybody else is coming out with one. Samsung and Toshiba have theirs coming out. Who knows when LG's version and the LG Google version well come out. By the end of summer there could be over 10 Honeycomb tables out.
If you wait, all the Tablet buyers well already be buying. As of now I don't think having this many tablets is good for the market, and in the long term it wouldn't surprise me that only about 5 Google Tables are made brought out each year. As of now there is not enough between each tablet to make any one any different.
