Here’s a rather intriguing new concept for a mobile app – location-based reminder notes. Promising to ping up alerts when the app detects you’re in the specified place, GoNotes could put an end to the horrific modern trauma that is forgetting to buy the thing you specifically went to the shop for.
And coming home with biscuits and doughnuts instead. Here’s the description, plenty more data about the app’s inner workings can be had over on the maker’s site:
Need to remember milk at the store? Tell your spouse something at home? Store notes by location and when you’re near by, GoNotes will remind you.
Features:
-See all active notes at a glance
-Set locations using Google Maps
-Reminders even when the phone is asleep or running another application
-GPS & network triangulation
Sounds clever. Looks like this:
GoNotes is up on the Android Market for $0.99 right now. We’ve not tried it. This update is “news” not a “review”. Find it on the Market by doing a search for “gonotes” – one word – if you fancy giving it a shot.
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?
