You may have heard of ChannelFlip. It’s a sort of celebrity-based internet entertainment channel, which offers little clips and monologues from some of the UK’s most commonplace famous faces. Its most popular production so far is David Mitchell’s Soapbox , in which the star of 10,000 satirical news quiz shows talks about… subjects. In a satirical manner.
Now you can access the “content” on Android. Here’s how that works:
Each of the programmes on the new ChannelFlip Android application can either be streamed directly to an Android platform or downloaded and stored for later viewing. So far in the series Mitchell has covered topics ranging from Stag Nights and Weddings, Trying to be Unique with Children’s Names, Nudity on Stage and Screen, Defending the Use of LOL, and Telephone/Text/Voicemail Etiquette.
And here’s what the app itself looks like:
You can find Mitchell’s Soapbox on the Android Market here. It doesn’t look like Richard Hammond’s Tech Head series is taking off quite so well.
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.
