Heya all,
I was searching the Android Market, when I stumbled upon this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.practicalapps.android.wallpaper.wikimedia
 
All images are credited to NASA (NASA.gov)
That last line worries me a bit. Are all photos credited to NASA, irrespective of who uploaded it?
OR
Are all photos of the Day by NASA, thereby giving others no chance for a front page visit?

I think they mixed up the credits on this app and their NASA app: "Image credit on the Picture of the Day webpage. Image updates are subject to the availability of the Wikimedia Commons' Image of the Day RSS feed and associated images."  https://market.android.com/details?id=com.practicalapps.android.wallpaper.nasa

I went ahead and emailed the address on the developer's website to ask for the correction. Good catch, Srikanth!
