There was obviously a bit of an online kerfuffle about Retro Calculator, the fantastic little calc app for Android, with the maker releasing a new update that removes all on-screen advertising – and returns the app’s icon to an earlier version.
Here’s the change. Yes, we’re doing news on a NEW LOGO. There really is no end to the tedious details we can report on now, thanks to gaining grab access.
And there’s the icon. The “new” logo is the one on the left, while the “old” one is on the right. The “old” one is now the new “new” one, after people moaned they didn’t like the stylised refresh and campaigned for the original logo to be returned. Some people have even less to keep them occupied than we do.
The maker says the fantastic app is now ad-free forever – presumably because he’s RAKING IT IN thanks to releasing a version of it on iPhone. Retro Calculator is genuinely one of our favourite apps out there, even if we never actually use it. It’s used as a “conversation piece” mainly.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
