Here’s the music player you will wish your Android phones had

by 725 comments

More than half a year ago Google demonstrated a new Android music player. It had completely new interface, a software menu key and was capable of wireless iTunes streaming.

This particular player has now leaked and is available on the XDA Developers. Bear in mind that the app is in early stage of development and is probably full of bugs.

The leaked music player seems to be a part of the upcoming Android 3.0 Honeycomb, which is expected in the summer 2011.

Just as a refresher, here’s the demo video from the Google I/O 2010 where we saw it first. Back then we didn’t pay much attention to the software menu key. After watching carefully the video of the mysterious Motorola tablet running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, where this menu button appears everywhere, it seems Google may replace the hardware key with a software one.

If you want to try the app right now, you can get it from here. As I said above, it’s buggy and the wireless features won’t be available to you.
