Obviously it’s a GREAT book, we are not commenting on the quality of the literature here – it’s an all-time classic everyone needs to have enjoyed in written form.
What’s RUBBISH about The War of the Worlds on Android is that it highlights the practice in which Android developers stick out-of-copyright (AKA free to reproduce) books up on the Android Market, then attach a price tag to them – in this case $2.99.
It’s a rather shady practice, to say the least. Go and get a copy of the book from a charity shop, if you fancy it. It’s amazing. Then listen to the rock opera, which is amazing too.
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.

/ April 11, 2010Download Aldiko. They have a LOT of classic books on there for free.
There is a paid version but it is exactly the same as the free version. If you really like the app you could buy the paid version after using the free one to show support.
