Thats what android is trying to do, right? ]]>Jan 25th 2010 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/What are you talking about?
Songbird looks just like iTunes but purple dude. Same button placement, same volume slider, same folder management...

can't wait until they get all the kinks out. dT still isn't as user/customer friendly as say iTunes. Until then I'll continue to use iSyncr from the andriod market ]]>Jan 25th 2010 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/
Right, of course!

Except for the Amazon thing is ready to go, tons and tons of addons, and a level of custom-ability that not standard Mac user would be prepared for.

But yea, just purple]]>Jan 25th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/

I've used it with my G1, and now my Nexus One, and it really works great.

The developer is awesome, too; very responsive and helpful when you have a problem or a suggestion.]]>Jan 25th 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/

Note: if you plan on buying a phone to use this, make sure it is compatible. Not all phones are.]]>Jan 25th 2010 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/
(Yes I could just use LISTEN or Mediafly or many other apps, but I don't have wifi at work, etc. and downloading and syncing is quicker/easier this way).

As for tMo - dT is a PC-side app - pre-loading it on the phone doesn't make any sense - it's not an Android app. (is it... yet?)]]>Jan 25th 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Jan 25th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/
-Podcast catcher!
-Better music controls in the bottom left corner.
-Syncing with the iPod touch/iPhone! Technically, this COULD be done, since the dock connector was opened up by Apple a bit I think? You could have it interact with YOUR App/Or an app someone made and DoubleTwist, so you can have your own little Music player. Most likely you'll have to be jailbroken though. But I'd jailbreak to do this.
-A unified, universally recognized standard. As in, have an API that developers can take advantage of to interact with DoubleTwist. Multi-device, multi-platform. Not sure how to properly explain this.
-PLUGINS! And Plugin-store/marketplace/manager. Allow easy access to a repository of plugins that people can get. Like plugins that allow for Last.FM Scrobbling, Tweeting, Music Discovery, other social stuff.
-Show some love for the Linux/Unix peeps!

The UI (On OS X anyway) is superb. It's something I wish iTunes was, since they crapped it up in iTunes 9. I have really high hopes for DoubleTwist.

Wow, sounds like Firefox in some instances. I'm sure they'll get that resolved though.

iTunes is currently using 60 MB of memory on my machine (Win 7 64-bit).]]>Jan 25th 2010 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/

Again iPhone IS only phone on the planet that can truly replace an mp3 or touch. Thats the reason for extreme record breaking iPhone sales. Fo some reason bloggers don't understand needs of the masses or regular consumer. We need to open our minds bloggers. ]]>Jan 25th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/
I use my BlackBerry (Curve 8320 and now 9700) currently for my dedicated music player, and it does a fine job doing so. Hopefully my Nexus One will be up to the task.]]>Jan 25th 2010 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Your mouth is moving, but I hear steve talking...

I hated my iphone and especially hated itunes. The locked in "user is to dumb to handle anything else" experience was insulting. Nothing like trying to corner a market and stifle competition by making all your products proprietary and exclusive. I hope the DOJ and EU both rain hell itself on apple one day.

DoubleTwist, Songbird, WinAmp and several other products are easy to understand they just need exposure. They also open up all ipods etc to other music sources. Honestly the best thing would be for a big name like Amazon to partner with one of these guys for distribution and brand recognition. Since apple wants a piece of Amazons ebook pie, they should be going more aggressively at apples music pie.

If by "geeks" you mean "those with basic computer knowledge and IQ greater than 90" had no issue, I agree.]]>Jan 25th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/
@shagrath all these "partner" deals (T-Mobile and DoubleTwist in this case) in many regional and cell type markets, along with the conflict between the brand names (LG, HTC, etc), and Android's open source nature is leading to a lot more fragmentation compared to the simple experience of an iPhone. That said, @logic thinker, don't agree at all, don't want to have to use a proprietary app to do things, plug and play storage is the way.

I'm only commenting because I want Android to do well but I'm not sure it's shaping up well.]]>Jan 25th 2010 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Jan 25th 2010 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Jan 25th 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Jan 25th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Jan 25th 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Jan 26th 2010 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/doubletwist-partners-with-t-mobile-for-android-music-management/Jan 26th 2010 5:48PM
