The image before you is something that Android aficionados have been begging Google for over the last several months â€" an updated music app. Compared to iOS, webOS, and in some regards, even BlackBerry, Android’s music app is bare bones and an eye sore to boot. However, at the Google I/O 2010 press conference earlier this year, a heavily updated music app was shown off. The most obvious change was the UI. It was a lot cleaner and more modern. However, the real treat were numerous wireless capabilities, including the ability to purchase music on your desktop and then push it to your phone.
Thanks to one handy/lucky/clever XDA user, that very same updated music app can now be yours, although sadly without the handy wireless features. However, the heavily tweaked UI manages to make the jump as does a multitude of various bugs (beware). Besides the flashier graphics, a new menu button appears top right, perhaps signaling and end times for hardware buttons (at least the menu button at least). Furthermore, tapping the music app’s own icon top left takes you back to the main “home†of said app â€" A handy feature given the predictably deep nature music playlists can have.
