IRVINE, CA - Kelley Blue Bookwww.kbb.com, a provider of new car and used car information, announced the official launch of its app for Android mobile devices, in addition to its iPhone and Windows Phone 7 applications.

Since its launch in the Android Market on November 15, the app has received more than 50,000 downloads and is currently among the top 10 free Lifestyle applications.

Kbb.com's app also features a widget that can be positioned on the user's home screen to track their vehicle's value.

The widget can be accessed after downloading the app. Configure the widget by long-clicking on an empty space on the Android desktop, choose "Android Widgets," and then select the kbb.com widget from the menu.

As a fun added bonus for its Winter 2010 launch, there is a winter-themed "Easter egg" within the kbb.com Android app, featuring snow and a sledding child.

"Kelley Blue Book took the Android app a step further in creating a pricing widget, giving consumers the information they need at their fingertips," said Justin Yaros, executive vice president of product design and development for Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com. "The information found in the app and widget can help car buyers and sellers make more educated decisions with a better understanding of their current ride's value and what is considered a great deal for a new vehicle. With the all-new app, kbb.com provides trusted valuation information not currently found within the Android Market."
