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 [...]

While most Android live wallpapers are all about the eye candy and wow-factor, Album Art takes an entirely different and more subtle approach: it collects the cover art for the albums in your music collection on the SD card and creates a wallpaper of them. The covers are stacked in a collage, and there are [...]

Back in May, Gameloft released a series of games for Android to mixed reactions. On one hand, the company was praised for the impressive graphics its lavish games featured, but at the same time Gameloft received criticism for not making the titles available in the Android Market. To add insult to injury, Gameloft initially had [...]

Alongside Touchflo 3D by HTC, SPB Mobile Shell has been one of the most popular user-interfaces for Windows Mobile devices for many years – and justly so. It makes Microsoft’s in many ways archaic OS more slick and up-to-date, and back in October last year, I recommended version 3.5 of the UI that had just [...]

One of the devices I’ve been most curious about the past couple of months, particularly in late 2009, is Nokia’s Maemo 5 powered N900. After the slightly disappointing Symbian^1, which failed to bring something new to the table, the Linux based, open-source OS Maemo 5, that features tight Internet integration, seemed like the perfect way [...]

One of my major beefs with Symbian^1, is the fact that it lacks proper threaded text messaging. On any other modern smartphone platform, messages are threaded and displayed as conversations, which is [...]

First of all, I have a confession to make: I have been a total Android fanboy for a year and a half now. You might think this makes me biased, but there’s a flipside to that coin: after having spent countless of hours reading about Android, the expectations of my first device running Google’s OS [...]
