Although we just recently mentioned one of our favorite Pod Casting apps, DoggCatcher, we thought it would be worth noting again in a separate post, as the developer has just given it an update.  Now at version 1.1.1823, the update provides a cleaner, streamlined UI.  In addition, he added a theme option which allows you to toggle between dark and light backgrounds.  Furthermore, when playing a particular pod cast, you can now see the title directly above the player no matter where you navigate within the app, so you’ll always know which feed is currently playing.  And while most are complaining about the small fonts, I think the minor UI refresh compliments the app very well.

One of the features in Froyo that is dead useful is the Chrome to Phone extension, allowing you to send pretty much any kind of info while you are browsing to your Froyo based Android handset.  Up until now, the functionality has been limited to Google’s Chrome brower, but according to the unofficial Google blog, there is now an extension for Firefox that has the same functionality.

It is called send-to-phone, and installs within a few seconds into your Firefox browser.  It adds an option to your right-click context menu to send the selected info to your Android handset.

Now, this is only available to those lucky enough to be using Froyo on their phones, but with more handsets getting Froyo pushed to them, it won’t be long before you may be able to test this out for yourself.  Let us know how it works for you in the comments!
