Hasta La Gadget!

DoubleTwist, the iTunes-replacing app that will sync your music to your media player, has gotten its own Android app. DoubleTwist for Android pairs up with the desktop client and lets you easily synchronize apps, playlists, podcasts and videos.

DoubleTwist is the iTunes for everyone else. Slicker, prettier and less bloated than iTunes, the Windows and OS X software will work with pretty much every media-playing device out there, including the Kindle and, if you’re on Windows, the iPhone and iPod Touch. It will read in your existing iTunes library and even lets you shop in the Android Marketplace, just like shopping in the iTunes Store for apps.

I don’t have an Android machine for testing, but from the screenshots this looks more than a match for Apple’s iPod player on the iPhone. Early reviews say its worth using, especially as the stock Android music player is widely regarded as junk. One problem: there’s no widget for controlling from the home screen, although it is promised “soon”.

The app is “free for a limited time”. Available in the Android Marketplace now.
