New Android app The Concorde Experience gives aeroplane enthusiasts a stack of information on the sadly departed supersonic icon, from way back when rich people could get to America very quickly indeed. Developed by National Museums Scotland, the app features an audio tour of a parked-up Concorde by a former pilot, photos, technical data and more.
Here’s what it looks like. Sensitive readers may wish to look away, as the word “cockpit” is visible in the starboard screencapture:
Check out the app’s listing on the Android Market. It’s free, plus there’s a photo of a Vulcan up there too. Everyone loves the Vulcan.
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.
