Singapore connects to Android users

Android users may now have access to the latest information about Singapore as its government recently launched a software developed for smartphones running Google's operating system.

Gov.Sg, an application available free of charge at the Android Market, was launched November 19 by Singapore's Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts (MICA) in addition to the version built for iPhones last year.

"The public can now enjoy the convenience of accessing the latest government news updates and electronics services such as calendar of events, directory of contact information, feedback channels, on-the-go," MICA said in a statement.
