AOL Mobile Apps for Android

by Marland Easter Jul 23, 2010 10:15 AM – Leave your thoughts

In case you haven’t noticed AOL is still around and trying to crawl its way back to be the premier company for cloud services, such as email, and search… back when AOL was gold. Its messaging application still has some legs as an industry standard. They’ve recently released two Android apps; AOL – News, Apps & Sites and DailyFinance – Stocks & News to accompany their growing list of Android apps.

In a quick review of AOL – News, Apps & Sites… this less than revolutionary app for Android. The apps capability is very limited, in which its only a portal to AOL services, such as email, search, and MapQuest. The app seems only useful for people who are already using AOL services, and can save you some time by having all of them in one location with this app. I’m not sure if this is a great way for AOL to get back the some 100 million traffic hits it has lost to Google over the past years, but its seems like a good start.
