Android tethering app

For those who haven't been following Android Market news, it was widely reported over the last week that Google was yanking apps from the marketplace that allowed users to connect their computers and other Internet devices to a G1 for surfing on...

Android app review - Sweeter Home

I knew this would happen. I recorded a video while a new version was being released. Development is moving so quick on this project that any review will be outdated the minute it gets posted. That's O.K., though. You can watch my vid for the...

Initial Impressions: BlackBerry App World

For BlackBerry users across North America, the day has finally come where RIM has joined the ranks of Android (Android Market) and Apple (App Store) with the launch of the BlackBerry App World.  Referred to as "an exciting new sales channel" by...

Does iPhone really need fingerprint scanner security?

Digging into another Apple patent filing, Apple Insider discovered a reference to some really crazy biometric security stuff for the iPhone. The patent — which was filed back in September and only recently published — covers fingerprint...

aHome, revisited (already)

I have to drop a quick update here to my lukewarm post on aHome. Three days after I reviewed it, mAPPn released version 1.4.0 of the program, and almost all of my complaints have were addressed. First and foremost. aHome now has the Cupcake QWERTY,...

Face detection for Android (and iPhone)

It may not be available for a little while, but don't be jealous, Android fans, when your iPhone buddy starts bragging about the inevitable face detection app headed to their phones in the next few months. Face.com just launched a face detection app...

Android app review: aHome

I've tried various versions/incarnations of all of the Android home replacements I'm aware of: dxTop, Open Home, and aHome. I settled on aHome lite as my favorite because it was exactly that - lite. There were a couple of handsome, practical...

Android app review: GMote

GMote has been a tough nut for me to crack. Not so much in terms of using the app, but in terms of filming and editing a review. The program is robust and full of useful features. I wanted to explore them all - and in three different operating...

Android app review - dxTop

Buying from the priced Android Market is just too easy, and I've had a hard time holding back. $3.99 is a bit steep for the average app, but as you'll see, dxTop is unique. It provides enough new functionality to satisfy geeky urges, and has great...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

Ive got this app. Some negetive feesback which will hopefully get the developers to fix it in the next release E.g. try typing ‘good’. you get ‘god’. Why? Because it not a true t9. Its a combination of t9 with multi tap So if there is ever a word...

Re: aHome, revisited (already)

John, I'm debating using aHome, but I have a few questions. First, how much internal memory does the app take up? Lately I've been having to be choosy about what apps to install because of storage concerns. Second, how much of a CPU hit does this...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

I've got a HTC Magic.Predictive text doesn't work in the Dutch language settings. It only shows my personal "User dictionary". It doesn't even work in compact qwerty and T9. I allready did a reboot. In English it all works fine. How can I solve...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

I purchased this app for my mytouch but I can't seem to make it my default keyboard. I think I have to ask for a refund.

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

Maybe this is because your area does not support pay app like I do. I am in HK and the provider cannot figure out how to set up the pay app so we can only get the free app. I would like to know if better keyboard support the handwriting mode? That...

Re: Android app review - Better Keyboard

Does the HTC keyboard work with Open Home? I would love Haykuro's keyboard but I don't want it to conflict with Open Home.
