Certain apps can't be downloaded to a Kindle Fire from Google Play. Doing it this way is called sideloading.

In google play they ask which device you want to install on. Where is there an option to download the app (or apk) to your desktop?

Edit:there is a chrome extension that lets you do it, but it's not a built in feature of google play.

With all the advertising that chase was doing for their in-app check deposits, I wondered when will BofA do the same, so I decided to just checkout the BofA app, and low and behold they also have check deposits.

I guess they need to invest a bit in marketing.

Cool, thanks! Based on your post I checked Wells Fargo and I see they also secretly snuck it into their app!

What's a good app to hold ur passwords and credit card info?

I just saw a cool Google Maps trick.
Open Google Maps on your Android device and follow these simple steps:

1. Press and hold on an area you want to explore (or type in an address)
2. Tap the info box that pops up and hit “Street View”
Now for the cool part...
3. Tap the menu button on your phone
4. Select “Compass mode”

You can now explore the imagery by moving and tilting your phone!

Yup it is a very cool trick, its been around.

Can anyone recommend a good recording app on Android (for smartphone) that records good quality?

I currently use "PCM Recorder" which (as of when I checked, a while ago) seemed to record in the best quality (for a free app;))

Anybody have any experience with recording on Android?

The important factors are: High quality recording and playing, and the ability to edit the recordings (trim etc..) which I can't do with the app I have now..
