There’s no shortage of apps in the Android Market Google Play Store that allow you to access videos from TED Talks. Today TED Conferences launched their official app for Android devices. It features over 1,200 audio and video presentations for easy viewing and sharing on your Android phone, tablet or Kindle Fire and more content being added all the time. The app also has the ability to save content for offline access, which is great for a subway commute or airplane trip.

TED for Android features:

• Up-to-the-minute videos: TEDTalks are published daily, and Android app users can see the latest TEDTalks videos as soon as they’re available online.
• Browse + search: Whether they’re online or off, users can browse the entire TED library – by theme, tag, rating or popularity – and search for a talk by speaker name or topic.
• Easy sharing: Users who are inspired by a talk can share it easily over Facebook, Twitter or email.
• Bookmarks.  Users can mark and save talks for viewing later within their “My Talks” tab.
• Offline viewing: The app is designed to support a mobile lifestyle, in which users move fluidly between online and offline use. Users can download video and audio directly to the device to watch on the plane or other locations where Internet connectivity may not be possible. The full library is searchable in offline mode.
• Curated audio stream. Out for a jog, multi-tasking, or just interested in listening, TED app users can listen to TEDTalks, either on an individual basis or through TED’s curated audio stream.

If you haven’t already updated, the latest version is now available in the Android Market.

It may not be a perfect solution, but the app does work beautifully with only a small bit of lag. As expected, it’s also going to drain your battery a bit faster than if you weren’t using it. But hey, if it saves you from walking into a wall or in front of a car, then it’s worth it.

When Sonic 4 Episode 1 was first released to the market, it began with a slew of Galaxy Nexus owners warning that it wasn’t working on their devices, many of them already outside the 15 minute refund window. We were sure to let everyone with Android 4.0 devices know they might want to wait before purchasing the $3.99 game.

Now Sega has just pushed out a new update to the Android Market and it’s compatible with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. So if you’ve got a Galaxy Nexus, Transformer Prime, XOOM or another device running Android 4.0, you should now be able to download the game and install it with no problems.

Also in the latest Google Docs version is improved support for tablets running Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich. If there’s anything Android tablets severely lack, it’s dedicated apps that work properly with tablets. Hopefully Google will continue leading the way with tablet-optimized apps and other developers will follow suit.

Eventbrite’s recently launched Android app allows you to browse new events, view all the event you’re attending and even pull up your ticket barcode right from your phone for a paperless experience. There’s also features for sharing event info with friends, mapping directions to the event’s location or contacting the coordinator. It seems the only thing missing is the ability to create a new event, a task probably easier accomplished on the full website.

Although the Nook Tablet has been rootable for a while now, the method was a bit complicated for the average user. Now a new method has been released making it simple enough to root merely by copying some files to the SD card and rebooting the tablet. This method is much like the process for the original Nook Color which has been a favorite of modders and ROM flashers since it’s been out. The new Nook Tablet root method should work for firmwares up to version 1.4.1 and brings all-important Android Market access with it. Now if we could just get some Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs for the Nook like the Kindle Fire has been getting a taste of recently. Head over to the XDA Developers thread for all the downloads and instructions.

Sega has finally brought the long awaited sequel to Sonic The Hedgehog to the Android Market. Sonic 4, Episode 1 is now available in the Market for a mere $3.99 featuring 16 levels across 4 acts, 7 special stages, and 2 levels specifically made to use your device’s accelerometer.

The initial download is only 1.2MB, but like the release of Sonic CD before this, you have to download additional game data after installing it. Some users are reporting problems with Android 4.0 compatibility as well as problems downloading the game data. If you’re using Ice Cream Sandwich, you may want to hold off on purchasing Sonic 4 till they get it all sorted out.
