WEIRD APP: Age of Consent, for the “hardened sex tourist”
We love this description attached to the Age of Consent Android app. It’s brilliantly honest:
Whether you’re taking part in a pub quiz when that tricky question on a country’s age of consent arises or your a hardened Sex Tourist looking for a new destination, this app is the perfect reference tool.
BIZARRE COMMERCIAL APPS: Capture the Rainbow
This is a rather peculiar recent new arrival on the Android Market. It’s basically an advert for colourful E-number based confectionery brand Skittles, only wrapped up as a photo editing and sharing app… Read the rest

VIDEO: Stalker footage of Samsung Galaxy Tab
This poor Samsung employee was spotted using the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab on public transport. A tech-aware member of the public promptly filmed him using the thing, and bravely invaded his privacy to fire off a few questions!.. 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
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. -
