I’ve been working on an Android app design just when Google finally released Android Design guidelines (ADG). There are also metrics and grids recommendations which I find particularly useful (see http://developer.android.com/design/style/metrics-grids.html).

I just launched a new website of my company FEEL Applications. We focus on mobile apps development, especially HTML5 based apps, but also on native apps for iOS/iPhone/iPad and Android. See the website here – FEEL Applications – mobile applications development. The website is also optimized for mobile use, via media-queries – try it!
Dribbble is an invitation only service (which is great). However, when you are unregistered user, you cannot save your favorites.

There is a single line function MooTools for this, but I used jQuery elsewhere on the web, so I needed jQuery solution. But couldn’t find any good [...]
UPDATE: Helvetwitter is out!

My friend Vojto from http://www.infinite.sk/(check his portfolio, talented guy!) sent me his variation on my wallpaper, which displays to-dos from The Hit List.
