ANDROID app scans BARCODES, DOWNLOADS TORRENTS

AndroidAndMe is running a bounty program for Android applications. individuals can request a particular application as well as pledge money to be awarded to the designer who delivers the practical app. [Alec Holmes] just satisfied the very first request by producing Torrent Droid. You can utilize the app to scan media barcodes as well as then download the associated torrent. It utilizes the phone’s video camera to catch the product’s UPC barcode (similar to compare Everywhere‘s cost lookup) as well as then searches major torrent sites like The Pirate Bay to discover a copy that can be downloaded. After getting the .torrent file, the app can submit it to uTorrent‘s web interface for remote downloading. The app will be released later this month as well as you can see a screenshot trip of it on Alec’s blog. It’s skeptical that an application such as this would ever remove Apple’s app store approval process.
