Sprint announced on Wednesday the availability of its new Direct Connect Now Android app, which brings push-to-talk capabilities to the Kyocera Rise and LG Optimus Elite with support for other devices “coming soon.” Compatible with both Nextel and Sprint Direct Connect devices, this free app features group calls for up to 21 people, touchscreen controls, call alert notifications and contact synchronization. While we appreciate this advancement in push-to-talk communication, we can’t help but shed a tear reminiscing about the good old days of Boost Mobile’s “where you at?” campaign. Please join us as we pour one out and celebrate faded memories of the chirp.

Having already conquered over 70 countries in its relatively short history, CloudOn decided it was now time to make its handy cloud-based tools available to all Android and iOS users around the globe. Aside from announcing its worldwide invasion, CloudOn’s also outed version 2.5 of its application on Google and Apple’s mobile platforms, bringing with it a slew of new traits into the mix — among these are a FileSpace for “real-time context around any document,” the ability to add single-tap annotations to Word, Excel or PowerPoint files, an all-new ribbon that’s enhanced for tablet use and, naturally, universal language support. It’s worth noting that while all of these novel features will be available on Android / iOS at some point, the former two are currently only compatible with Cupertino’s devices — however, CloudOn has told us the missing goods will be making their way to the other side very soon. We’re not exactly sure when that’s going to be, but if you’re still interested in grabbing the app, you’ll find the necessary download links below.

Since getting outed just head of Microsoft’s big reveal, Xbox 360’s SmartGlass has been under wraps. When Xbox Live VP Marc Whitten officially introduced SmartGlass soon after at E3 2012, we learned a teensy bit more — tablets and smartphones (Android, Windows Phone 8, and iOS, even) would get second-screen functionality via an upcoming free application — and got some hands-on time with it. That application has yet to launch, but Dance Central 3‘s SmartGlass functionality is already here. Well, almost here — the game becomes publicly available tomorrow, and the app won’t launch for a few weeks still — but we got our hands on Dance Central 3‘s SmartGlass companion app a bit early at a New York City review event last week.

Being the first SmartGlass application to launch has its advantages, such as setting the bar. By no means is Dance Central 3‘s SmartGlass application a thorough, necessary accompaniment (for a game that already requires Kinect, that’s probably a good choice), but it does add some neat side fun for friends waiting in the wings to get their respective grooves on. “Party Time DJ” allows friends — employing their iOS, Droid, or WP8 tablet/smartphone, via the Xbox SmartGlass app — to queue up the next song in the game’s neverending “Party Time” mode, or create a playlist. They can also queue downloadable tracks to the Xbox 360 (which thankfully requires approval on the 360 prior to purchase), or swap difficulty settings. Sadly, though the opportunity for real-time griefing presents itself rather clearly here, developer Harmonix chose not to allow song-swapping or difficulty changes mid-song. “Because it would kill them,” Harmonix rep Nick Chester told us.
