Heya all, I was searching the Android Market, when I stumbled upon this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.practicalapps.android.wallpaper.wi... It's called Picture of the Day Wallpaper
From the market page:
Beautiful daily photos from Wikimedia Commons scroll across your desktop.
Live Wallpaper which displays the Picture Of The Day posted by Wikimedia Commons, an public domain media file repository (commons.wikimedia.orghttp://www.google.com/url?q=http://commons.wikimedia.org&usg=AFQjCNFNTovbfl8ZcrbSTJNc32s9TzrcXA ).
Each day a different glorious image from the Wikimedia Commons image library is automatically downloaded and added to the scrolling rotation of the last six images.
A convenient shortcut to the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Day webpage is provided on the initial application and preferences screens. A preference setting is also provided to control the image scroll speed and position of the image title.
To install this animated wallpaper, launch the application icon or long-click on your phone's desktop, then select Wallpapers, then select Live wallpapers.
*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?
