The idea is the same: play back songs and it'll automatically download lyrics and album art if you don't already have it.

The lyrics will also auto-sync to the song (most of the time), and if they don't, you can manually sync them by hitting the screen, which will then get sent back to their servers for the next user. There's also other neat features like using a Google map to see where you are, and even search for song lyrics for songs you may not have. If Android's capable of getting at the very least, iPhone-level applications on a regular basis, there may be hope of expanding its userbase to non-technologists and tech geeks. Check out the live flash tech demo below too. [Tune Wiki]

<![CDATA[ TuneWiki Is the Karaoke-Like Lyrics App Apple <em>Must</em> Include in iPhone ]]>
Lifehacker's Adam Pash (co-author of the best iPhone book with some dude called "Jason Chen") told me this weekend about TuneWiki, an iPhone application that downloads songs lyrics from the web and shows them synched with the song in real time, karaoke-style. It works great and, being a closet karaoke whore, I admit I'm hooked. Apple must include this app integrated in their next firmware update. Watch the video review and, for an alternative take, you can see Californian high school cheerleader Rosita (yes, she's as sexy as it sounds) telling its virtues after the jump:

Rosita gives good reasons on her own but for me, TuneWiki is just perfect for drunk nights in the bar, when everyone wants to sing for some reason and nobody knows the exact lyrics to a song. Or maybe it's just me. Whatever. In any case, if you enjoy music and singing or reading lyrics as you listen to songs, TuneWiki is a must. [TuneWiki - Video review music by Goldfrapp]
