[maneck35]

Inspired by the iPhone Apps thread (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=130872843), I'm making one for Android users. I will provide pics and description. These apps should be available on the Android Market. If not, I'll provide links as to where to get them (or just feel free to google them).

So lets get started..

Description: Control iTunes via wi-fi to play your favorite artists, albums and playlists.
