Until now, there hasn't been a true peer-to-peer application for Android, or indeed any smartphone. There are a slew of helper apps, like the excellent Transdroid, but their main purpose is to allow remote, on-the-move management of your installed-at-home BitTorrent and Gnutella clients. FrostWire is different: it brings P2P transfers to your phone -- yes, FrostWire shares ringtones, camera photos, music and apps that are stored on your phone.
FrostWire for Android Tech Specs:
Installed Size -- 700KB
Speed/Responsiveness -- Nippy, could not discover any slow-downs (Android 2.1 @ 600 MHz, LG GT540)
User Interface -- Not fantastic, but easy enough to learn -- it's a very simple app, after all
Configurability & Extensibility -- Lots of network configuration available -- but I still don't see why you would use this app on your home network... and you can't control your mobile operator's network setup!
License -- Free, open source, but it costs $5 from the Android Market (free download here)Tags: android, file sharing, FileSharing, frostwire, mobile, p2p, peer to peer, PeerToPeer, piracy, review
