A new multimedia player for the Android platform was officially announced last week. The player is called DoubleTwist. And this event could go unnoticed, because there plenty of music players available on the Market, and the release of another one is not such a big news… The fact is that compared to some other players, DoubleTwist looks very cool and attractive due to some features and nice design.

The first point of difference is the design. There are not that many players for Android with nice and neat user interface. This software definitely stands from the masses.

Secondly, in addition to playing music, DoubleTwist supports video playback and is able to play podcasts.

Thirdly, there is a desktop client for the player (runs on both PCs and Macs), with which you can listen to the music, subscribe to podcasts and sync all this stuff with your phone. In addition, the desktop client has a tab with the Android Market, where applications are shown with screenshots, descriptions and QR-codes for quick search. Finally, the desktop client has a built-in music store, which could be useful for some users.

I might post a detailed review of DoubleTwist in the near future, however if you cannot wait to try this software, look for it on the Market.
