Vodafone: Nexus One “FroYo” Android 2.2 update in the “next few days”
We’ve been keeping deliberately quiet about the status of Android 2.2 for UK-bought Vodafone Nexus Ones, as there’s an ALMIGHTY 48-page thread of pure rage going on over on the Vodafone support site about it – where Nexus users are not happy about Vodafone taking an age to test/tweak the “FroYo” release for UK users… Read the rest
NICHE APP: Windfinder Pro
This is an Android app for people who need to know where there’s some good wind. People like “kitesurfers, windsurfers, surfers, sailors and paragliders” which we’d suggest is quite a small demographic, considering they also need to be Android-owning kitesurfers, windsurfers, surfers, sailors and paragliders in order to download this… Read the rest

£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.

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.
