Amazon Kindle and Viber receive updates.

Kindle app for Android got an update today. The update, however, seems to apply to tablets since the only feature listed is the ability to "read more text per page with improved margins and line spacing". Obviously, version 3.4.2 also includes the usual unnamed bug fixes on "some devices".


Viber is somehow similar to Whatsapp. It claims to have 40 million users worldwide who uses the app to make calls, send text and photos for free. Version 2.1.5 fixes an issue with inconsistencies in messaging, sorting...and several additional bugs. Plus they are still working on additional fixes to be "released soon".


If you haven't got the notification on your device yet and you don't want to wait for them to show up, just go to Android Market on your phone and you should see the updates under "My Apps".

Youtube for Android updated; not downloadable via Market on Phone.

The good news is that the Youtube app for Android new features include a +1 button, "watch later" queue and the ability to edit video info while uploading. Now that said, I did get the notification about the update on My "old" Nexus One running Android 2.3.6. But, Android Market listed the item as not available in my country. Youtube, unless I'm wrong, is an open source app that is pre-installed on all Android devices. So why would an update be unavailable in my region? I decided to check on the web version of Android Market on my PC. Sure enough the latest version of the app was listed there as available for download; clicking install and the app was pushed to my device. 


Come on Google, get your act together.


The update can be downloaded here.
