This release mainly addresses some issues with regards to the USGS site changing some of their urls and paths. I have updated the apps in order for all urls to load correctly and direct you to the right web page. I also made some minor cosmetic changes.

Earlier this year I released version 1.04 of Equake and Equakelite on the Android market:

Besides a number of bug fixes and improvements in performance I added a lot of new features. Such as:

• Sorting of a list of earthquakes by magnitude, region and date
• Quick navigation to top or bottom of a list of earthquakes
• Ability to reconfigure app while it’s running (also for the Lite version)
• Added option to increase readability using a semi transparent background (also for the Lite version)

In addition the Lite version will now load a tab with information about the earthquake when you press the info button, instead of loading the market to show the full version.
