If you are an Android fan and have been paying attention, you’ll know there are a few Google apps which we can’t get in the UK yet. Google Music is the biggest one (all your music in the cloud), but there are others. Google Currents is the new news reader with a sexy edge. It’s [...]

Awwwwoooooga Awwwwoooooga this phone is stolen or lost…. That is the cry of an Android phone protected by Avast! Mobile Security. A new app I discovered just the other day completely by accident. I’ve always been a fan of Avast! Anti-Virus since I ditched Norton back in 2005, so I was thoroughly disappointed when I [...]

For a while now, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a Google Chromebook – just for something to play (and write) with on the train. But much to my annoyance, Samsung pushed back the release date of the 3g version until the 1st of August. Which was just rude. Anyway, in the meantime, [...]

Now I’ve gone from a smartphone to an Android powered HTC Desire HD. Wow. [...]

I don’t normally get suckered in by advertising, but I have to say, there’s something very appealing about the new Samsung Galaxy S phone. I saw an advert this morning for it in a newspaper (which I’ll be damned if I can find on the internet) which mentioned the Google Goggles app I’ve talked about [...]

Google has come out with a funky new little thing called “Google Goggles“. An application for their Android operating system for mobile phones. It looks pretty nifty doesn’t it? The application allows phone users to take a photograph of an object, landmark, logo or even a shop front, then (nearly) instantly get that information sent [...]
