This month, we’ve taken the covers off our very first Android app. While everyone else is working out how to get magazines into tablets, we thought we’d come up with something more useful – a media player.

RockDroid is a simple but really functional media player that handles all of the Android media formats – AAC, MP3, WAV for Audio and MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 for video – all in the one application.

It automatically searches out all of your media files on your Android tablet or smartphone and lists them for you ready to play. RockDroid will play music or video files. It’ll just play them one after the other and will happily work in portrait or landscape model.

We’ve tested it on a range of devices include the Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire, Legend and Wildfire smartphones. We’ve even tried it on the Millennius SmartQ tablet.

RockDroid only needs Android 1.6 operating system to run and you don’t need the Android Market app on your device – you’ll find everything you need to install RockDroid on your smartphone or tablet on the cover disc of the January 2011 issue of Australian PC User magazine – out now.
