Call Log Shortcut Released

I just released a simple shortcut to your android device's call log view.
Many phones simply does not ship with a direct link from the launcher to the call log.
This ultra-simple app solves that problem and provides you with a pretty icon to place anywhere you want as a shortcut in your launcher.

Version 1.01
* Added a better looking icon. Thanks goes to Johan Sebring for that

Version 1.0
* Initial release. Fully functional

FindMyPhone alpha

I just started a new project called "FindMyPhone". It's supposed to be a robust and 100% free app to let Android users find their lost or stolen phone.
Currently I'm letting the user sending an SMS with a secret text to the phone and then get an automated response back with the location in an Gmaps-URL.

It uses the GPS and currently it's not at all as robust as I wish.

Future additions should be:
* Continious GPS updates via some kind of central server. Maybe via blogging API?
* Using alternative communications channels if texting is not allowed or if the SIM (phone number) has been changed
* System should look for open WiFi APs to communicate.
* Accumulate and store location over time and allow sending the track once an viable internet connection is found.
* Track new SIM (phonenumbers) to enable tracking of a potential thief / finder of the phone.
