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

It's called Picture of the Day Wallpaper

[snip]

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?

No, that is not the case of Wikimedia Commons featured pictures.

You may wish to contact the author of that wallpaper to let them know.. It looks like they mixed up part of the descriptions between this and their "NASA Scrolling Images" wallpaper:
