Hi! We would like to tell you about a new application for smartphones and tablets based on Android called Droid Translator. Easy-to-use service simultaneously translates voice calls, as well as messages in the app and calls via the usual mobile connection, but what’s the most important – the video-calls via Skype. The translation performed automatically – the only thing two users have to do is to install the software to their mobile devices and speak as usual, each in one’s own language. Download and test the beta version here:

Hi
With My Position it is possible to se actual GPS information via the phones built in GPS and send the position to others via sms or email.
When sending the position via sms or email it is possible to enter a telephone number or email address. It is also possible to select a contact from the contact list.
Sending the position is possible in three diffirent ways.
1) As coordinates which can be inserted directly in Google Earth or Google Maps.
2) As a link to Google Static Maps. When the receiver opens the link the phones default web browser connects to the internet and shows the position on a map in 400x400 pixel resolution.
3) As a link to Google Maps. This option is mostly suitable when sending the position via email.
It is also possible to see ones own position on a map where Google Static Map is being used. The phones default web browser will open and connect to the internet and shows the position on a map in 400x400 pixel resolution.
This is a very good function when you are in a big city with many streets.
There is also a sos function which sends the position and a message of help. Again it is possible to send via sms or email.
The application is developed on a HTC Touch Diamond 2 with Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. Maybe the aplication can be used on other WM 6.1 phones but that have not been tested.
The application requires .NET Compact Framework 3.5 which can be found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2ZGV1DNJ (to HTC TD2).
When the application is installed it can be found in Start --> All --> My Position by using TouchFLO.
Everyone is welcome to express theirs opinion about the program, cons, pluses etc.
Last I want to tell that installation is ones own responsibility.

A couple of problems
This app is so close to what I want but it has a few problems.
When selecting a contact to send to, it adds a right paren ")" to the email address or phone number. It also includes this person's name when sending an SMS message. This causes the email to bounce and the phone number to be invalid for an SMS message.
When sending a message with a Google Maps link it would be nice to be able to select which language to use for Google Maps. I would like the english version.
Does anyone know of another app with similar functionality?
3/7 update, I found this app, GPSLocation and am using it instead.

Another TTS engine
Flite: a small, fast speech synthesis engine (a WinCE native application - freeware)

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who has some apps on the phone which could be used to dial phone numbers (between skype, google voice, different sip clients and some regional IP-based telephony apps).
So I'm wondering if an app exists or if there's an API provided by Google to build one which could be used as a standard dialer and then use some of these apps listed above to dial numbers based on dialplans?
Ideally it should be able to make calls thru the native SIP client (as configured in the phone), although I remember checking out if it was possible when the native SIP client was first introduced a while ago and there was no API to access the existing configuration from an app.
Hi, I am looking for an App that integrates with Android to provide Text To Speech functionality to WeChat so that I can click on text and the App will read it for me, either in English or in Chinese. I have Swype for Speech To Text, but I am looking for an app to do Text To Speech. I am looking for an App that is NOT Google related because I travel to China often and Google has chosen not to do business in China.
Tried installing 'Robin' but the first thing it wants is Google Voice Search which doesn't work in China
Does anybody know if there is a TTS engine which is NOT based on Google Text To Speech?
