Aviate for Android, just bought by Yahoo

[Phil Conners]

Aviate is a new type of homescreen that changes during the day and depending on your location. They've been underway for a while but were just bought out by Yahoo who wants to use it to gain an entry into the Android world.

You can read more about Aviate at http://getaviate.com/.

Aviate is still in beta but I've used it for a couple of days and though it's a change from the old well-known home screen it's growing on me. Aviate can be downloaded from Google Play but there is a waiting list. I was able to get in using the code "YAHOO" but that may no longer be available.

If anyone wants to try it out and can't get in any other way, send me a PM, I have a few invites I can give away.
