Chime.in for Android
We wrote about Twitter rival Chime.in when its iPhone app launched earlier in October. Now it's available for Android too. The idea: micro-blogging, but with the ability to dig in to specific topics, making it easier to find, say, X Factor tweets (or, if you look at it another way, easier to avoid them).
Android
SecureSafe
SecureSafe claims to be "the Swiss safe deposit box for your documents and passwords", looking to provide a more secure way to store and view these from iOS devices.
