There is a new app out in the market for all Android tablet users, the LilyPad HD. It is actually the very first floating instant messaging app for Android tablets. Basically, the app helps you stay notified about your all your IM activities- even when you’re browsing the web, watching a video on YouTube, playing a game or even watching a movie- because the chat window will continue to be visible no matter what app is open.
Before you get excited about this app, here’s the wet blanket- the app comes with some strange problems. The first, although not a total deal-breaker, is that the app currently supports only Google Talk. However, other IM clients are to be added soon.
The second is that the app is still in beta mode. But what’s most surprising is that the app, despite being in beta mode, is in fact not free! Yes, you actually have to shell out $1.50 just to use the beta app. It is pretty weird to ask users to pay up for a product that is still in beta mode. Beta mode is actually a half-baked product that still needs some issues to be ironed out.
Although it does bring in some pretty awesome functionality to the Android tablets, it is probably advisable to put away your money until the app comes out of beta mode. Rest assured, LilyPad HD is well worth the money!
