There is naturally an abundance of wallpaper sites on the Internet and it’s easy to find good pictures to use as either desktop or Android backgrounds. Even TechCredo has posted tons of wallpapers and we’ve also compiled a list of the top Android wallpaper apps. However, a comparatively new wallpaper site is so surprisingly good [...]

I won’t write much about Stellar Escape here: the first game from Swedish newcomer Orange Agenda, because the demo video below does a pretty good job showing what it’s about. What I can say is this: entertaining gameplay, great on-screen controls, excellent graphics using the Unity 3D engine, and OpenFeint integration with online leaderboards. There [...]

About two months ago, I contacted Steve Albright – the developer behind the task switcher Clutch. I just wanted to thank him for what I personally thought was a fine app that I had used since it first was released. I also suggested some visual improvements such as additional padding between the app icons, and [...]

Even though Android’s task switching feature has been rather mundane up until Honeycomb, it has served its purpose very well. By longpressing the Home button, we’ve been able to switch between recent apps – and for 9 out of 10 users this will probably suffice. But if you want to expand and customize the app [...]

Android is getting more and more great games for each day that passes. However, the games that feature the most advanced 3D graphics generally require the very latest hardware, such as a dual-core Tegra 2 processor. Those games are showcased in Nvidia’s TegraZone app. But luckily, there are also many games that rely on fun [...]

To change the homescreen wallpaper is of course the easiest and most popular way of customizing an Android device. I usually copy entire folders with wallpapers in them from my computer to the Images folder on my Android’s SD card, and TechCredo hosts many large wallpaper collections. But there are several excellent apps in the [...]

The native Android 3D Gallery app – some people love it, some people don’t. It has a visually appealing interface, but in my opinion, it’s impractical. I dare anyone to locate a picture in a large collection and set it as your homescreen wallpaper faster using the Android 3D Gallery app than what can be [...]

Karoshi was previously only available as a Flash game for PCs, and as such, it has received quite a lot of praise. One of my favorite magazines, Wired, had Karoshi Suicide Salaryman on its list of the top 5 PC games in 2008. Since yesterday, we can now enjoy this beautifully offbeat platform puzzle title [...]

Google has just released a new app in the Market called Androidify that lets you build your own custom Androids. Via a surprisingly convenient interface, you can change your Android’s proportions; give it accessories, different hairstyles and beards, and the clothing of your choice. There’s a The Sims/play dress up appeal to the app, and [...]

In April 2010, I bought the HTC Desire – one of the most powerful Android devices at the time. Despite the fact that I had set my mind not to upgrade so soon after I got the HTC Hero back in September the previous year. I even wrote a post for Android Guys called “Saving [...]

There are certainly Android apps that are more cool, innovative and advanced, but these are the 20 applications I use the most from day to day. The list may be a bit boring, predictable and familiar, but the most practical apps are often less exotic. Games aren’t included in this list, and neither are native [...]
