Cellogic officially announces FlyScreen, lock-screen replacement for Android

Some time ago we covered FlyScreen, the cool lookin’ and useful lock-screen app for the Android platform. Now we have the folks behind the app, Cellogic, going all official with the announcement.

As far as I can tell (and I haven’t tried it out myself), the application is a must-have for any effective Android smartphone owner. The idea is to allow users to access popular web services from the idle screen, hence reducing the number of taps required to access content. This is done through widgets, which can be used for checking Facebook and Twitter activities, as well as keeping up with the latest news via RSS. Kinetic scrolling is supported, making the overall experience enjoyable, and there’s also the in-app widget gallery, allowing users to pick widgets they want on their phones.

The best part is the price – FlyScreen is available as a free download and you can grab it from the Android Market…
