StumbleUpon, which is a super-popular social web rating tool that millions of people use but no one ever seems to talk about, has released an app for Android. It’s rather simple – you login or create an account, then get pinged with an endless list of web sites from your chosen categories.
You then give them a thumbs up or down, and move on – pausing only to share or read any pages you like. As a way to waste time while connected via wi-fi, it’s great.
The only problem with StumbleUpon on Android is with the entire format of the system itself. Vast numbers of spam sites are submitted, meaning it’s rather rare to actually “stumble” “upon” anything of great interest. It’s basically a Chatroulette of web browsing. Great fun, if you have hours to waste, though.
Read all the official words & stuff about the new mobile apps over on the StumbleUpon blog.
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.
