Attention, earthlings! The Howcast application for Android has landed. With much of the same functionality as our popular iPhone application, Howcast for Android allows you to browse, search and play Howcast videos straight from your Android-powered mobile phone.  You can also give your Android device a shake to play a random video.

One of the best parts of Howcast Android app is that we’ve modified the video player—you can now navigate within the video step-by-step just like you can on Howcast.com. Want to watch a specific step or happened to miss something? Simply move your track ball to the relevant point in the timeline and jump throughout the video.

With 9 phones currently available across carriers in the US and internationally and many more on the way in the upcoming months, the Android platform is simply exploding.

To learn more about the innovative features of the Howcast Android application, visit http://info.howcast.com/android.  To get Howcast for your Android-powered phone, open Android Market from your phone and search for “Howcast.”

We had a chance to demo our new Android app last month at the Motorola Booth at the CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment Convention in San Diego (alongside two other cool apps— CardStar and Superpages.) Complete With Howcast juggling balls, hula hoops, and an Android robot, people used our Android app on the Motorola CLIQ to learn How To Juggle Tree Balls, How To Hula-Hoop, and do just about anything. Everyone loved the app and got into the act!
