Apple App Reviews

A good choice for UK readers? The Amazon Kindle has only relatively recently made it to the UK, with our US brothers and sisters enjoying the device for some time. As we’ve been looking at our disconnected ebook readers on this side of the pond and scratching our balding pates, US Kindle owners have been laughing through their macchiatos. We’ve been living with the Kindle for several months now and here’s what we think. Starting with the basics, the Amazon Kindle 2, or the International Edition, is a 6-inch ebook reader measuring 203.2 x 134.6 x 9.1mm. Like the other devices we’ve reviewed , it features a 600 x 800 pixel E-Ink display, meaning you get the benefits of long battery life and a natural reading experience that doesn’t strain the eyes like a backlit display might. With the likes of the Apple iPad promising to be all singing and all dancing, the humble ebook reader might look a little bland. True, but they are tools for a task and that task is reading, for which we’ve always said that E-Ink is a good medium

With Snapdragon CPU, Android 2.1 and half a gig of RAM Back at the start of February, some spy photos arrived of a handset calling itself the HTC Incredible , destined for Verizon in the States. It promises Android 2.1, and could be the face of the HTC Legend in the US. However, a few specs and screenshots have appeared on Android Forums which contradict previous estimates of the phone’s capabilities. Instead of a 1Ghz processor, the onboard Snapdragon appears to have been underclocked a little to 768MHz – presumably over battery life concerns. However there’s reportedly half a gig of RAM – not the 256MB that was previously stated. There’s also an 8-megapixel camera, which could put the wind up those who have criticised Android phones for their imaging capabilities in the past, and the device measures?117.5 x 58.5 x 11.9mm – a smidge smaller than the Nexus One. The handset is set for a launch around April or May, so if you’re a Verizon subscriber then keep your eyes peeled. Read Tags: Phones Mobile phones HTC HTC Incredible ?

Apple ’s history of eliminating apps that compete with its own is as old as the App Store itself. So why, exactly, does Barnes & Noble think they can get away with submitting its eReader app for the iPad? From browsers to music players to email, Apple firmly removes any app that could conceivably compete with its own first-party apps. And with the iPad staking its claim as the ebook reader to …

Still no pre-order button, but the promise to be kept in the loop Vodafone ?hasn’t gone as far as putting a date on when they will be stocking the Nexus One ?from Google, but on Friday morning, the UK operator has started taking details of prospective customers that are interested. In a move that will no doubt get Android fans looking for the “pure” Google Android experience giddy with excitement, anyone keen enough to submit their details will be able to stay “in touch” with the UK operator to get more information as and when it’s available. Although users still aren’t able to pre-order the device, based on how the company has previously run things, with this system it means a launch isn’t too far off. Vodafone has always said that it would stock the phone in the UK on contract for those not keen to go direct, however until now it was just words rather than actions. The question is, with the HTC Desire about to be released in the UK as well, has Vodafone left it too late to woo would-be Android fans to the party?
