admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:00:07 +0000

You’ve got to be confident of your product if you’re going to use the word ‘awesome’ in its name. But really, Dashwire’s file transfer app, Awesome Drop, lives up to the name pretty darn well. Here’s a quick review. It’s very simple so let’s have Brody, the ‘Dashwire Intern’ describe it. It’s a… …super easy, [...]

TVcatchup: Another live TV option for Android (UK)

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:51:17 +0000

No sooner had I published yesterday’s post about alternatives to the BBC’s iPlayer for Android since they (the BBC) forced beebPlayer’s removal from the Market than I learnt of another. And for live TV it outplays the other options discussed. Take a bow tvcatchup.com. Like Yamgo.com, tvcatchup isn’t a downloadable app but a web site [...]

Alternatives to beebPlayer / BBC iPlayer for Android

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:26:23 +0000

A couple of months ago Dave Johnston announced on his blog that he was stopping development of beebPlayer, his amazing iPlayer for Android app. Not only that but he had decided to withdraw it from the Android Market.

G1 won’t boot- how to do a hard reset

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:57:54 +0000

I’m not one of those smartphone owners who leaves their device switched on all day and night so the first thing I do before making breakfast is to switch on my ‘trusty’ G1 so it can boot while the tea is brewing. I normally hear the reassuring bong to tell me it’s successfully booted from [...]

Google Goggles Boggles

Have you tried the Google Goggles app? It’s amazing. Flippin’ amazing! I mean really, really mind bogglingly, unbelievably… amazing. You have to try it if you’ve got an Android phone. Err, so what is it? It’s sort of a reverse image search look-up. Take a picture with your phone’s camera and the app tries to [...]

Android ignored in the media. Why?

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:06:35 +0000

We’re all used to tech-blog posts from either side of the iPhone / Android debate which are less than objective. It goes with the territory and it’s fair enough – personal blogs are personal. Is it too much to ask that the mainstream media educate themselves a bit and don’t just focus on the iPhone [...]

HTC Hero is Stuff magazine gadget of the year

admin — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 11:55:41 +0000

British gadget magazine Stuff named the HTC Hero which runs the Android operating system as their gadget of the year at their annual awards show this week. Surprising, perhaps, since the shortlist also contained the iPhone 3G S but it sounds like the Hero got the nod as much as for its innovation as anything [...]
