Blimey, TWO new Breaking Art Android apps in the same day? Hot on the heels of this morning’s Beer in Japan comes Engrish Crock – an app the maker says was BANNED from the Apple Store due to… we’re not sure.
Engrish Crock basically takes all the amusingly mis-translated examples of “Engrish” found on Asian product packaging then applies a clock over the top of it, giving you a constant stream of odd translations. While also telling you the time.
Here’s the description:
“The app that Apple refuses to allow on the AppStore comes to Android, proving that the Android Market is open and not subject to silly arbitrary rejections on a whim. What is Engrish Crock? It’s a clock of funny English spelling mistakes from I Can Has Cheezeburger. It’s hilarious. It shouldn’t have been rejected by Apple!”
Like this:
This is a paid-for app, which will cost you the local equivalent of 69p. Find it in the Android Market by doing a search for “Engrish”. We’re still working on a painless way to include QR codes.
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?
Ken @ Ken's Tech Tips
/ May 17, 2010You can include QR codes using Google’s QR Code API – they allow you to hotlink it straight into your webpage.
e.g. http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=135×135&chl=market://details?id=com.breakingart.engrishcrock
If you know the marketplace URL/id just change it at the end… or I find it easier to use something like Androlib.com which generates the QR code URLs for you :)
Hope this helps!
