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 [...]

I’ve stumbled upon eBoy’s pixel art from time to time on the interwebs, but I’ve always thought it looked too busy – at least to be used as Android wallpapers. However, when tinkered with, they look great. Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky is apparently a huge fan, and the first thing he does whenever he gets a [...]

Don’t ask me why, but a while ago I was on the search for a quality wood wallpaper for my HTC Desire. I came across a whole bunch of them (all free) at various places, and here they are. Because the resolution of phones doubtlessly will rise over the years, and since Android has such [...]

During its initial year, the Android platform had some catching up to do when it came to mobile gaming.

The Android platform has numerous fortes, but state-of-the-art features and always being connected come with a drawback: comparatively large battery consumption, and hence short battery life. This is a concern that has been mentioned in many reviews, perhaps particularly in regard to the HTC Desire. Many users don’t consider Android’s lack of stamina an issue, [...]

An Android application that as of now only comes pre-installed on the Google HTC Nexus One, is the 3D Gallery that’s developed by Cooliris. Forbes said it’s “as dazzling as it gets on a mobile screen”, and I’ve always thought the Cooliris app looked quite, well… cool. That’s why I was glad to find out [...]

I’m a self-confessed smartphone geek, and I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’ve actually started fantasizing about my next device. The superphone of my dreams hasn’t been announced yet, since no handset that is currently on the market have all the features I want. A year ago, I wrote a post called Next Phone Dream [...]
