Grindr looks like a lovely Android application. Lots of nice people to talk to. Look at them all, lined up and ready to talk about mobile phones. Let’s just install it and see what all the fuss is about.
It seems to be very popular on iPhone, so it must be good.
It won’t be much use where we live. Thanks to reader “Gadders” for the tip. Not that kind of tip. This is a minefield, this one. Do let us know if you’ve tried it out on Android…
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case. The Eluga’s powered by a 1GHz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor, which is running a 4.3″ OLED [...]
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but it still arrives running the same HTC Sense 4 interface we saw in the excellent [...]
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.
Some camera samples taken with HTC’s quad-core Android monster.
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?
We’ve spent most of the last week captivated by the staggeringly sharp screen of the new Sony Xperia S, while putting together what will hopefully be something resembling a review for you all to read very shortly. In the meantime, to be getting on with, here are a few sample photos and videos, taken using [...]
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?
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate. Although this particular product retails for around the same price as FlexiShield’s TPU option, it’s quite a different proposition. Review submitted by extremely patient retro gaming advisor Damo. As the name suggests, [...]
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags. To that end, we’ll be covering a few Galaxy Nexus-themed items over the next few weeks, starting with the FlexiShield Case. Review submitted by reader, writer, gamer and occasional [...]

/ March 8, 2011Finally Grindr for Android!!
Attractive app. Is a little buggy but hopefully they’ll sort that soon.
You need to be somewhere with a high density population to make it worthwhile. Luckily I’m in London where there is an abundance of gays!

/ March 9, 2011Benn, I think its more the case of Grindr getting it wrong on Android first time. I mean their Android based rivals (also on the iPhone,touch and iPad) like Gaydar and Scruff got it right on Android first time?
To be honest Grindr looks like a port and not a re-write. For example Grindr needs GPS turned on to work. The rivals seem to use the Google maps API to get location from WiFi and Cell Tower triangulation (i.e. GPS turned off will not generate a force close , and won’t occasionally put you over 8,000km from your current location).
