Microsoft’s bizarre ‘Star Wars’ Twitter and Facebook app
Microsoft has launched a new app for Android. It’s called Kinect Star Wars, although it’s not Kinect Star Wars at all. It takes your Twitter and Facebook feeds, then makes it so they scroll JUST LIKE IN STAR WARS, also letting you post status updates to Facebook and Twitter. It’s basically an advert for Kinect [...]

Android Spotify will finally include folder support, Android 4.0 design cues, high-res artist photos, Last.fm scrobbling and much more.

“Why wake up to a boring, annoying, standard alarm sound, when you can wake up to your favorite song?”
That’s the BIG IDEA behind Android app Spotilarm, which lets you turn your phone into a sort of retro clock radio by having it wake you using your Spotify favourites instead of a ring tone or MP3. The problem is you’ll require a Spotify subscription in order to make it work, but if you’re already [...]
Hexage’s Radiant Defense now on Android
Hexage, the long-time Android supporter and publisher of some excellent and innovative touch screen games, has another out today. It’s called Radiant Defense, and is another one of those strategic tower defense titles that do so well on touchable devices. Hexage says this one is free to download, but there’s the option to pay money [...]
Loyalty card aggregator Stocard now live for UK users
Apparently, so they tell us, Stocard has been doing rather well for itself in some European countries, where it allows users to scan in their loyalty cards and vouchers, then present their mobiles at the till when it’s time to claim points or money off vouchers or whatever the particular promotion may be. There’s an [...]

Panasonic Eluga review
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.

HTC One V review
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 One S review
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 One X review
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 Xperia S review
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 Prada 3.0 review
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? -

ACCESSORY REVIEW: Case-Mate Barely There for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
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, [...]
