It’s not quite as dramatic as Minority Report, but this ad hoc presentation by Kinect hacker DDRBoxman of Recursive Penguin seems to have recreated something strikingly similar to the gestural interface from the 2002 blockbuster running on a Galaxy Nexus handset. [via Phandroid]

Windows: As a frequent audiobook and podcast listener I find that most of the time long audio files of an hour or more aren’t terrible to deal with until you lose your place and try to find it again while driving or running.

It’s not TV, it’s Hulu Plus and it’s coming to the Android device of your choosing — somewhat, unofficially.

It should give you great video playback right out of the box, though you’ll have tons of options to tweak your video playback to your liking. You can find the full review over at the App Directory.
