Apps of the Day: Steve Jobs Remembrance and MagicLocker
Before we start apps of the day, we want to take one last moment to remember technology pioneer Steve Jobs, who died at the age of 56 after losing a long battle to pancreatic cancer. Without his vision and Apple’s execution of it we may not have the same sort of Androids we love today. Below is an app to show your remembrance of him. Partial proceeds are supposedly going to the American Cancer Society, but we have not yet been able to confirm this. We’ll be digging. In the meantime, take a look at the app and another cool one below.
Steve Jobs Remembrance App – This app boasts a noble cause. Buy the app and a portion of the funds will supposedly go to the American Cancer Society. No word on how much that portion is. Honestly, we don’t even know if this is legit – we’ll be trying to contact the ACS to find that out. Still, it’s a good idea to celebrate the memory of a technology pioneer. The app simply allows you to post your Jobs-related thoughts for others to see. $.99. [Market]
MagicLocker – Ever wanted a legit iOS-style lockscreen without being rooted? How about a Samsung Galaxy S style lockscreen? Or a Pulp Fiction lockscreen? Sound awesome yet? MagicLocker transforms your lockscreen into all of these and much more. Lockscreens are dynamic and rich in functionality. Many different screens – some free and some paid – are available in the market meaning it shouldn’t take log to find something you like. I’m just going to pretend my Samsung Galaxy S II is an iPhone 4S and call it a day. Free in the market. [Market]
