Live Wallpapers
Android 2.1 introduced Live wallpapers. These are
background wallpapers that can be animated and made
to react to events on your phone. For example, they
might respond to you touching the phone, the time of
day, or the sounds playing on your phone.
Several Live wallpapers come with your DROID,
including the red, lit robotic eye that you see in the
DROID commercials. You can also download new
wallpapers both as free and paid apps.
The screen on the right shows the Shake Them All!
wallpaper by Yougli; one of the Live wallpapers
included in this app shows the Android logo falling in
slow-motion on your screen. It reacts when you shake
the screen or touch the androids as they fall.
The disadvantage of Live wallpapers is that they take
more power to display, especially if they have interactive
features.
