Ready Your Droids for the ComicBookBin App for Google Android

No geek is left behind with ComicBookBin 1.0 for Android!

CALGARY, Alberta, (September 22, 2010) – If metrosexuals use iPhones and dudes Palm Pres, who uses Google Android? Geeks of course and they are usually upfront about their comic book collecting unlike metrosexuals who keep their love of comics in the closet and dudes who don’t read as many comics because they’re busy practicing tricks on their skateboards. Well, geeks now have something to rejoice with ComicBookBin for Android.

ComicBookBin for Android is similar to the same app enjoyed by metrosexuals and dudes but created raw just for geeks. “In ComicBookBin for Android,” says developer HervĂ© St-Louis, “we’ve done away with that clean polished Apple/Palm look and went straight for the groovy white text on black background enjoyed by real geeks. We didn’t even try to root some blur or sense in the whole thing. It’s pure unlocked Android love.”

The app has the classic utility features all comic book collectors expect from a ComicBookBin app. It’s got the newsreader, with access to over 12,000 articles from the Comic Book Bin Web site. It’s got the store locator that actually works unlike those other wannabe comic book apps. Of course, you can search for stores in other cities and find more details about them such as their location on Google Map, phone numbers, addresses and Web sites, if available.

Finally, geeks have access to the most comprehensive comic book convention calendar through ComicBookBin. Geeks stuck on Android 1.6 to 2.1 can even add events to their Gmail calendar app. Yeah, baby, here’s a first! An app that offers more features for non Froyo users! But Android 2.2 geeks shouldn’t worry too much. They know how it is with Froyo. It’s groundbreaking, so Google managed to break a few things in the upgrade! We’ll fix it as soon as Google makes its unpublished APIs for the 2.2 calendar app, public or we’ll patch something first.
