Seasoned tech blogger. Host of the Tech Addicts podcast.
As the torch passes from Chris to myself Mobiletechaddicts must disappear for a brief moment. This will likely happen tomorrow for a period of X hours and Y minutes. This will give the little people inside the website the opportunity to link the DNS to the negative power coupling of the tachyon dish. Thus the site will be relocated to a different server and everything will be better.
So please be patient and keep the faith. We’ll be back after a short break..
As the days and weeks march steadily by the amount of time for Google to get the 20 new promised Android phones onto the market is slipping away. One of the phone makers that is producing some of the Android devices is none other than Motorola.
PhoneArena have a video review of the new Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy. Most things look fairly standard but the lack of Multi-touch and flash support obviously knocks this down a peg from the HTC Hero.
O2 today announces an agreement with Telmap which will see its personal navigation and mapping service made available to O2 customers on the majority of GPS-enabled handsets sold by O2.

Michael Arrington over at TECHCRUNCH has written a great article about the joys of Google Voice. A topic oft mentioned on sites in the US and is relatively unheard of here in UK/Europe. Could this be the future? Will the likes of Apple and AT&T be able to adapt to this in the future? Have a read.
Well look what finally decided to grace us with its pictorial presence: Nokia’s Rover aka N900 aka RX-51. With the T-Mobile version having just passed through the FCC, the Rover just made its first live appearance and we have to say that we really like what we see of the upcoming Maemo 5 smartphone with apart from the fact that the Z key is not offset — oh and yes, Nokia’s design team is still smoking space key crack. Just in case you don’t recall, it was way back in May when what appeared to be the entire specs for the Rover leaked out. It looks like May’s leak was pretty accurate as here’s what we have today:
With the recent departure of Chris from Mobile Tech Addicts we are looking to recruit a few new writers.

It’s times like this when we think, that it is time to dump our iPhone 3G down the toilet and time to get 3GS! This app, released just yesterday (yeah! we are tracking all new releases daily), works only in iPhone 3GS.
The timing, really couldn’t be more perfect. Just as no less than Apple VP Phil Schiller
has started making comments on the record about App Store rejections, Apple yanks another very popular one from its store. Sex Offender, an app to locate sexual predators in your area, had been consistently in the top 10 paid apps for weeks. And now it’s gone — not just off of the list, but off of the store.
The Secret of Monkey Island was the big one. Whenever a new adventure game – retro or otherwise – appeared on the iPhone, it’s song was lost in the white noise of, "Where’s Monkey Island!".
