With so many of us now using social media apps I thought would shown you how a few are handled on the Samsung Galaxy S that I reviewed recently. As you will see, the Galaxy S is a great mobile tool for taking care of your social media needs and with its 4 inch Super AMOLED display using these apps is a truly enjoyable experience.
In the below video I will give a basic tour of Facebook, Twitter for Android and MySpace on the Galaxy S. I hope the video is of some use if you are considering buying the device.
A few days ago I unboxed the HP Photosmart A532 which had just come in for review from IT247.com In the post I promised that we’d be running a competition here on the site in conjunction with IT247.com to give away a Photosmart A532 printer – A new one not the one I unboxed and reviewed.
So while I am putting together that review it’s time to kick off the competition!
Entering is about as simple as it gets. All you have to do is follow IT247.com on Twitter and retweet the following tweet: "RT @IT247uk I’m hoping to win an HP Photo Printer with IT247.com – Find out how you can enter too: http://bit.ly/aAY8w3" You can also click the retweet link below to save you copying and pasting the phrase. Your twitter name will be entered in to the draw. You’ll have to keep following us as we’ll notify winners via DM.
IT247.com will pick a winner at random and will announce who’s won, via Twitter, on the 21st July.

You more than likely saw the post I did the other day mentioning that GiffGaffs goody bags were currently half price. To follow on from the good work GiffGaff are currently doing we are lucky enough to have set up an interview with Mike Fairman, their CEO.
Even better news is that you will be able to listen to the interview as we will be recording it next Tuesday evening as part of our regular slot on the mobiletechaddicts podcast.
The podcast is normally posted late Tuesday evening so from then you will have the opportunity to hear what Mike has to say. Head on over to mobiletechaddicts.com for download details or just do a search on iTunes.
We need your help though. We would love you to submit any questions you have for Mike. We will endeavor to ask as many as possible but depending on the quantity we have we cannot guarantee all will be asked.
We are rather excited about this opportunity and hopefully this will be one of many similar interviews to come in the future.
So, either submit your questions on the forum under this post or you can email to Matt or myself.

If you are after the HTC Wildfire sim free we have some good news. devicewire.com will have the Wildfire in stock over the next day or two so if you want one you had better get your orders in quick as I think this one will be pretty popular. At only £224.95 (Incl. VAT) the HTC Wildfire represents real good value for money. It is not the cheapest Android phone but what you are getting is more or less the HTC Desire experience on a smaller and less powerful device.
If you have not read our Wildfire review please do so and then head on over to devicewire and place your order.

Vodafone’s modifying the firmware upgrade before they gear up to launch it for their Nexus-toting customers. Afraid that Vodafone might be omitting key Android 2.2 features such as internet tethering and hotspot capabilities, those customers have taken it to the official FroYo Nexus One thread on the carrier’s forums.
After a large thread of confusion and miscommunication, it’s said that the modifications are to ensure MMS and Voicemail features are working properly before Vodafone would have to eventually deal with a large influx of customer complaints. Who wouldn’t want their carrier looking out for the best interest of their device, right? Wrong!
A lot of the uproar stems from the supposed fact that Vodafone promised Nexus One purchasers (in voice and in writing) that they would not be touching any firmware updates for the device (and apparently they don’t care if that right would come at the expense of a buggy launch). As they understand it, all updates should be coming directly from Google.

Some will say its the ugliest phone about but I honestly quite like it. Filling a niche gap that is currently empty, this front facing Qwerty keyboard Android phone is going to be a social networking must have. The Charm is one of the smallest Android phones measuring only 67.2 x 98.4 x 11.4 mm and weighing in at 110 grams. It features a 2.8 inch screen which is one of the first QVGA displays (320 x 240 resolution) on an Android phone in the U.S.
Units that were sent out for testing suggest it features a 600 MHz TI OMAP3410 processor (unconfirmed) with 512MB ROM and 512MB RAM.
As if it wasn’t expensive, the trend continues for the Bedazzled iPhone with an stylish array of diamond crystals. This version of the 32GB white iPhone 4 comes with a “hand finished wallet made from real Ostrich foot” just to turn most women off. For a meagre £12,995 you can have one, but be quick as there are only 50 units will be available for retail. iPhone 4 from Gresso is obviously going to turn some heads and help you stand out. Muggers and burglars, take note.

Earlier today we brought you the BlackBerry 9800 video and now we have the 9670 courtesy of salomondrin.net
Not sure how this guy has his hands on the new devices but I want to go round his house to play!
As you will see, this version of the 9670 flip is not running BlackBerry 6 but it does have some new features such as tabbed browsing.
Although the BlackBerry 9670 does look bit strange when open I think it looks really cute when closed. Perfect for slipping into a pocket and not having to worry about scratching the screen.
See what you think in the video below and let us know your thoughts over on the forum.
We have seen the BlackBerry Slider 9800 on video before but this new one from salomondrin.net shows what a truly beautiful device the 9800 is.
Not only do we get to see the device in detail but also the forthcoming BlackBerry 6 OS and that too looks pretty sweet. Not quite on par with Apples iOS4 but none of us BlackBerry addicts expected it to be. A definite improvement either way.
Anyway, enough of me yapping. Check out the excellent video below.
