• Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus Video Walkthrough Review

    I just bought the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus yesterday after the much anticipated wait for the phone to be released. With no walkthrough or video to guide me on how to use it, and hearing that it was much more complex, I launched into a full review of the device right off the back. In the video, you can see the unboxing of the Nexus and the new interface that Google has prepared for us in the device. Packed with [...]

New features. Spices and different types of burgers. Upgrades with the money that you earn in each level. Cons – More of the same, but good if you are getting sick of the older [...]

  • Iris for Android – Video Review

    Iris for Android is an application that tries to mimic iOS’ Siri, which is an intelligent digital assistant. In fact, Siri backwards is Iris. Get it. Honestly, Iris does not bring too much to the table over Android’s standard Voice Recognition System (speech to text) other than some quirky responses. However, considering that a team of developers put this app together in only eight hours, it’s worth taking a look. Pro Was put together in only eight hours, and actually [...]

  • Espier Launcher for Android – Video Review

    Espier Launcher for Android is an application that puts the visual aesthetics of Apple iOS 5 onto your Android device. Some Apple haters will think that this is the most retarded app of all time. On the other hand, people that only have an Android device because the iPhone is/was not offered on their wireless carrier, will absolutely love this launcher. Get the application while it lasts, because knowing Apple, they’ll probably sue the developer any day now… Pro Makes [...]

  • My Country for Android – Video Review

    My Country for Android is a Sim City type of game made by GameInsight. Using the freemium model, this game allows you to build an interactive city. Using the model of Sim City, you can build a city complete with residential, industrial, utlities, scenery and more. However, the game falls into the pattern that other types of these “build me” freemium games have. Pros – Closest to Sim City we have on Android. Cons – Pattern of freemium build me [...]

  • The Ladbrokes Casino App

    When picking an App to play your favourite casino games with, the first thing to recognise is whether they are a trusted name in the business. This is, after all, real money we’re talking about, and the danger of picking one of the more obscure names is that you can never be completely sure they’re trustworthy, in terms of handling your details and guarding your personal information. However, with ladbrokes.com, this isn’t a concern – as a FTSE 250 listed [...]

  • The HTC One

    The Android smart phone marketplace has become extremely crowded as both domestic and foreign manufacturers churn out new devices on what seems to be a daily basis. From a pure supply and demand standpoint, one would think that this would be good for the consumer. However, this has not been the case, especially in regards to HTC’s product line. HTC has been feeling tremendous pressure from both investors and consumers to rifle out new devices on a constant basis, in [...]

  • Current State of the Android Marketplaces

    Co-Written By Sherwinator and Jay Booshay The Android Market is the major conduit for Android users to download applications for their smartphones and tablets. Every day, users download hundreds of thousands of apps a day. A few months ago, Android altered the user interface of its official market. The Android Market is now reminiscent to the design and layout of Windows Phone 7, in that it implements a “tiles” based system. Users can  swipe their screen left, right, up, or [...]

    Otterbox Commuter Case for Samsung Galaxy Nexus – Review

    Otterbox is known for making two great phone cases – their Commuter (medium) and their Defender (super tough) series cases. They release these cases for every major phone, and this is the second case I have used of theirs. I have to say, I have yet to be disappointed by an Otterbox case. Although this one was a little difficult to properly put on, the case is sturdy, thick and will help my phone survive the trauma they usually suffer [...]

  • Followup on ITC Ban of HTC Devices

    Followup on ITC Ban of HTC Devices

    I’ve read on a few sites, recently this morning on XDA, that the ITC ban of the importation of HTC devices scheduled to commence in April, is not as effective as many media outlets, as well as Apple, is making it out to be. The two patents that HTC allegedly infringed upon are very basic Android UI features. HTC claims: “We are gratified that the Commission affirmed the judge’s initial determination on the ‘721 and ‘983 patents, and reversed its [...]

    Apple is Victorious in ITC Case Against HTC

    Apple scored a huge win today as the International Trade Commission ruled in Apple’s favor in its suit against HTC and most of its Android lineup of smartphones. According to The Verge, HTC’s smartphones apparently infringe upon two of Apple’s patents. Apple has been bringing lawsuits against every major Android player for several months/years now, hoping to slow down the growth and increasing market share being consumed by Android. Long story short, come mid-April, HTC will be forbidden from importing [...]

    Little Piano Pro for Android Video Review

    Little Piano Pro for Android was the Amazon Appstore’s free paid app of the day in the last day or two. Little Piano Pro is a great application for musicians who rock an Android device. While it is severely limited in terms of functionality, its basic features are enough to make it an application that every musician should have. Pro Allows users to belt out a noncomplex song on their Android device. Con Can’t even play a three note chord. [...]
