RadiusTalk is not actually an app as such, more a mobile web tool that utilises some of your Android phone’s geo-location tools – giving you the chance to engage in potentially life-threatening scenarios involving chatting to strangers who happen to be in your area.
Anonymous location-based chat? This can’t end well. Here’s the description from the maker:
“Chat anonymously with people around you, anytime, anywhere. Boring meeting? Friends running late? Alone in the park or even at the bar? Open radiusTalk and feel the thrill of talking to nearby strangers.
Available on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Android (2.1+)
To use it simply navigate to http://m.radiustalk.com on your mobile device!
And here’s what it looks like. It’s running on an iPhone here, but seeing as it’s a web app it ought to look the same on your Android phone, give or take a few pixels and text boxes:
We’re not in possession of an Android 2.1 handset, so are doing this update on trust alone. It had better work, Radius. We’re trusting you on this.
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?

/ June 8, 2010It loaded ok on HTC Desire but don’t know if it works as it found noone else near. My girlfriend has a Desire too so as soon as she gets home we will test it out for you.

Broken?
