Songbird 1.1 for Android brings lock-screen widget and Honeycomb support
The Mozilla-powered rapidly iterating media player for Android, Songbird, just got updated to version 1.1, bringing with it both bug fixes and new features. Top of the list is Android 3.0 Honeycomb support, so now you can get Songbird on your Honeycomb tablet. Also included is a new lock-screen widget that allows you to control music playback right from the lock-screen.Speaking of widgets, the Songbird team have been working on increasing widget stability and responsiveness, so if you thought it was a bit of a sloth-like affair before, perhaps this will be the fix you need. Bluetooth car audio support has also been added along with better bluetooth headset disconnection handling.
Songbird 1.1 may be out the door, check the source for full release notes, but the team are already hard at work on the next iteration, which should feature landscape support among other things. Head over to the Android Market to get your free Songbird 1.1 download.

Pretty sure that Songbird is not an official Mozilla project.

@Josh It's a Mozilla-based project. They feature it on the Planet Mozilla feed, so it's pretty integrated into the Mozilla project http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla-based.html

@Samuel Gibbs It's inaccurate to attribute Songbird to Mozilla. Technically, Mozilla is tightly integrated into Songbird, not the other way around. As for the link to a list of "Mozilla-based" projects, the very first project is Adobe Acrobat, and I don't think you would refer to it as Mozilla's Acrobat.
