What an absolutely awesome idea for a phone app – BHTrans Cameras v0.2.2 lets you browse the feeds from Brazilian road traffic CCTV cameras. No, really!
“This application displays images from traffic cameras in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. You can pick the camera you wish to see from a list or a map, or you can just ask for the camera closest to you.”
See? Look at their funny Brazilian cars. And they have blue buses. Madness.
BHTrans Cameras is an incisive commentary on today’s transient and voyeuristic society, one which encourages the viewer to not only look outwards at the traffic problems of a Brazilian town, but to also look within ourselves and ask important questions about our role in shaping modern culture.
And it’s good fun for ten minutes if you’re connected via wi-fi.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
