RUBBISH APPS: HTC launches four utterly useless HTC Sense Android apps
For some odd reason, mobile manufacturer HTC has decided to strip a few apps out of its customised (and great) Sense Android user interface, which appears on a few HTC phones, and offer them up individually on the Android Market for users of the HTC Hero and DROID Eris Google phones to have… Read the rest
Nimbuzz brings VoIP chat app to Android
Social specialist Nimbuzz has released a new version of its chat tool for Android phones, bringing VoIP (free voice calls, via the web) to Google phones and also supporting chat through Skype, Google, Yahoo!.. Read the rest
GOOD APP: UltraChron Stopwatch Lite
If you have a regular need to know how much time you spent doing something – for example, how much time have I WASTED doing a rubbish blog about PHONES that no one reads today?.. Read the rest
Motorola Backflip (AKA Enzo) pics hit the web
Another over-designed Motorola Monstrosity(TM) appears, courtesy of the visually impaired monkeys that staff Motorola’s phone design lab. Android blog Phandroid has the disturbing photos, one of which we have stolen and reproduced here as it’s unlikely they’d be able to stop us even if they wanted to… Read the rest
Android Developers Blog breaks down Android userbase
Look at this lovely image, uploaded today by the Android Developers Blog. It shows who’s using what Android OS these days, who’s upgraded to Android 1.6, and that 0.3% of Android users are still using Android version 1.1… Read the rest
PHOTO SAMPLES: Shots taken with an HTC Dream, AKA T-Mobile G1
Ahh, the good old T-Mobile G1, known as the HTC Dream in other places. The Android phone that kicked it all off… Read the rest
Introducing the… Camangi WebStation Android tablet
The, er, Camangi WebStation is an Android-powered portable home internet tablet thing, that, despite having a very, very silly name, looks like being an extremely decent device – if only because it’ll let us run Android apps on an enormous 7″ screen that maxes out at an 800 x 480 resolution… Read the rest
THE APPS WE USE: Android tethering app PDANet
PDANet is AWESOME. Very, very amazing. It works, too. You download the app via the Android Market, install the PC version from the maker’s web site, then plug your Android mobile into your computer via a USB cable (or use Bluetooth, but I didn’t bother trying that, learning one new thing a day is challenging enough)… Read the rest

Galaxy Nexus review
Google’s third Nexus is bigger, once again made by Samsung and features the new Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS. It’s obviously going to be good. But how good? -
HTC Sensation XL review
The HTC Sensation XL is an odd one by HTC. It updates the screen size of this year’s HTC Sensation to 4.7″ and includes Beats Audio enhancements, but you lose a bit of processor speed – the HTC Sensation XL is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz brain… Read the rest

Motorola RAZR review
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. -
Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray review
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 Optimus 3D review
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. -
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo review
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? -
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo review: Camera and video samples
To accompany our Xperia Neo review we’ve put together this collection of photos taken using Sony Ericsson’s latest Android phone, which features an 8megapixel Exmor R sensor… Read the rest

INQ Cloud Touch review
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.
