This is a rather excellent niche Android app, designed to help outdoor folk assist in the tracking of DEADLY CONKER-EATING MOTHS that are gradually eating away at the UK’s stock of horse-chestnut trees. Here’s a little snippet from the official explanation over on the Android Market:
What is happening to Britain’s horse-chestnut trees? Since 2002 Britain’s conker trees have been under attack from a non-native moth – and you can help scientists at the Universities of Bristol and Hull monitor what’s happening. The Conker Tree Science: Leaf Watch app shows you how to identify affected trees and enables you to submit your geo-located leaf photos.
Do some proper science on your telephone…
…and get a legitimate excuse to spend even the sunniest of days staring at your mobile. Read more about the conker-attacking moth at the University of Bristol & Hull’s web site. They made the app.
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?
