You probably don’t spend that much time reading Google’s official Android Market site, seeing as it’s a quite appalling “read only” collection of rather out-of-date information on a seemingly random selection of apps. It is the one area of Android unlikely to have Steve Jobs losing any sleep.
However, Google’s Android Market site has now been given a refresh. A visual refresh, as there’s still no way to buy apps online or even search for apps by name. This terribly under-developed public site remains one of the biggest and most puzzling RUBBISH THINGS about Google’s approach to Android.
Here’s the “new” look:
And that’s it. The same uselessly tiny collection of highlighted apps, with no search, no shopping facilities and no phone sync options. Only now looking a bit nicer. A bewildering waste of time. Link via TechCrunch.
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.
