LauncherPro Plus launches – costs money, uses widgets
We do love a bit of alternate launcher action, with the superb ADW.Launcher happily powering our little HTC Magic. One of the other popular Home screen replacements out there is Launcher Pro – and the maker has now updated it again to Launcher Pro Plus… Read the rest
The worst leaked phone photo of all time
Honestly, what on earth is going on with this? It’s supposed to be an Android-powered Motorola portrait QWERTY slider, although it could just as well be anything else going on picture quality alone for all the detail we can get from this… Read the rest
British Airways launches an Android app
We’re mentioning this because BA has used an HTC Magic as its example Android phone. We use an HTC Magic. It’s nice to see it still out there… 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

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. -
