Been missing Skype from your Android device? Well, the good news is that it is now in the Android Market just waiting for you to download it.
If you have not used Skype before then I suggest you give it a try. What it will give you is free Skype to Skype calls and messaging worldwide, as well as discounted call charges to non Skype numbers.
Here’s what Skype have to say –
HTC today unveiled a new colour and finish for two of its most popular Android-based smartphones, HTC Legend and Desire.
The uniquely-designed and iconic HTC Legend will be available with a phantom black finish. The style and form factor for which the HTC Legend has become known remains the same, with its smooth, continuous surface, machined from a single aluminum block creating a seamless compact frame.
HTC Desire is also now available in brilliant white for the first time, providing a stunning new look for the phone which has become popular for the richness and quality of its visual and multimedia experience.
To be honest with you I was not very excited about the prospect of doing the Samsung Apollo review. Within five minutes of playing with it though I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that a cheap Android phone that as far as I am aware is exclusive to Orange may have been given an Orange overlay and spoilt. Although Orange have added some of their own customisation to the Apollo you don’t have to use it which is a god send.
Read on to see what I mean and to get my views on this Android 2.1 device which costs under £150.00.
It’s Sunday so we thought we would bring you something a little light hearted and fun.
Drums for the iOS is a rather neat drumming application which is a little different to all the others in the iTunes store. AT 59 pence for both iPhone and iPad it wont break the bank but will give you hours of fun.
So what makes Drums unique compared to all the other drum apps out their?
You will have to watch the video for that, and no taking the mickey out of my virtual drumming skills please!
With the BlackBerry Torch 9800 now available in the UK I thought I would do another quick video showing you a few of what I think will be the most popular applications and features on the device.
I have been using the Torch for about three weeks now so hopefully my Torch skills are a little better than on my original video when I was at the BlackBerry Torch launch event.
Sadly my review device went back to RIM yesterday but I havn’t got long to wait for my own one. Clove are expecting delivery this week so my one should be with me soon.
If you are considering getting the Torch please feel free to use the Forum to ask any questions.
You may remember a while back we mentioned the integrated services from Everything Everywhere, the parent company that now owns both Orange and T-mobile.
Orange have released a short video on YouTube which explains nicely how the first stage of the shared networks will operate.
Read on to see the video.
As promised, below is the second Windows Phone 7 video I recorded this week. This time a Microsoft dude (AKA Oded Ran) talked me through a few features on the new operating system.
Microsoft really do have some nice features on this new OS and in particular I love the people hub and how it integrates with your Facebook contacts. They have given some serious thought into giving us consumers what we want and making life easier for us by using a mobile device.
Enjoy the video and I hope that next time we get our hands on a WP7 phone it is to review it.
O2 has opened its first concession store with a Sainsbury’s supermarket.
This first new venture has taken place in the recently refurbished 100,000 square foot Sainsbury supermarket in Crayford, near Dartford.
O2 trained staff and managers will run the concession and will sell the same products and services found in a typical high street store, including both prepay and contract, the Apple iPhone 4 and fixed line services O2 Home Broadband and O2 Home Phone.
O2 claims the concession will operate to the same level as its retail stores offering the same levels of customer experience.
O2 is expected to open further concession stores within Sainsbury’s, which has a footprint of 537 supermarkets and 335 smaller convenience stores.

Good news if you pre ordered the Nokia N8. Nokia have confirmed they have now started shipping so fingers crossed it wont be long until the N8 hits your door step.
Nokia’s latest entertainment smartphone, the highly anticipated Nokia N8 with Ovi services, has started shipping. Customers who have placed a pre-order for the Nokia N8 in Nokia Online Shops and Nokia retail stores will be the first to receive their Nokia N8. Market availability will vary by country and by operator, with broad availability in the coming weeks.
Desperate for a BlackBerry Torch 9800? Well you can get one from the high street tomorrow morning, 1st October.
Phones4U will have the Torch in store and online in the morning so if you have been patiently waiting and you don’t mind shopping there head on down. I’m not 100% which carriers it will be available on but I guess it will be Vodafone.
