OpenIntents

Our latest application, OI Update, is now in the Market. It keeps version information of all your installed applications in a central place and notifies you of available updates. The main advantage for developers and end users is that not every application has to include their own update routine. This saves a lot of duplicated code, and many applications can drop the INTERNET permission if they only used it for automatic updates.

One of the first applications to make use of OI Update is OI Countdown. The application does what it says. Features include notification with sound and vibration, and you can define an unlimited number of named countdowns that you can launch concurrently. Make perfectly boiled eggs while you take out the pizza of the stove when it just starts to get crispy.
