To date there have been many addictive Android games and they have all relied on content over style. Rarely has a game struck me for it graphical accomplishments. Armageddon Squadron is ambitious but does it soar to new heights or crash and burn?
Having recently announced they will be rejigging their pay as you go tarrifs to remove more money from their customers 3 believe that they will be able to increase their customer base thanks to their involvement with the Terminate The Rate initiative.
3 will start to aggressively grow its customer base after termination rates were slashed last week, its CEO Kevin Russell has pledged. Russell said the changes outlined by Ofcom, which will see the rates cut to 0.5p over the next five years, meant he could focus on the mobile operator’s market share.
The existing charges have impacted on 3, which is still to report a profit since its launch in 2003, because it has a small customer base. With a base of just over 5 million, 3 pays out more in charges to rivals than it receives for connecting calls to its network. However, the reduction in termination rates will allow 3 to make more from voice calls and aggressively target new customers with competitive rates

The year of the tablet continues. HP are pushing out their snazzy gizmo with an ad campaign that points out a few features Apple could have put in their iPad but didn’t. The only thing that is missing is a kid at the end with his thumb on his nose, wiggling his fingers and blowing raspberries. Like the iPhone I doubt these will make a huge dent in Apple’s sales but at least there will be a device somewhere along the lines that ticks all the boxes be it from Archos, Dell, HP etc.
Ok I actually hate these videos but I am sure some of you will enjoy this one as there has been so much iPad news over the last few weeks that it has become a bit unbearable.
Enjoy Tom doing his stuff:-
Apple will be holding their iPhone 4.0 event, “Get a sneak peak into the future of iPhone OS” on Thursday, April 8th, yes that is this week, not much notice for all the tech journalists out there.
This is expected to be nothing more than a look at what Apple have in store for the next update to the software that runs the iPhone, like they do every year and no new hardware will be announced, the question is what have Apple been working on, will we eventually see some Multi-Tasking, home screen customisations, they have to deliver something fresh this year as I am seeing a lot of tweets from die hard iPhone users about switching to Android devices, Apple over to you to wow us all over again.

The great mystery that is known as Project Pink will be eventually revealed at a press event on the 12th April in San Francisco according to Cnet.
A source confirmed to them that the event will herald the introduction of Microsoft’s long-awaited new phones for the always-connected crowd. The devices, code-named Pure and Turtle, are both slider phones, each with a touch screen and keyboard, the devices will run on Verizon Wireless’ network and go on sale within the month following the event.
The Pure and Turtle phones, which are part of Microsoft’s long-running "Pink" project, also have Windows CE at their core as well, but aren’t likely to run programs written for either current crop of Windows Phones or those written for Windows Phone 7.
Although Windows Phone 7 is the really hot mobile platform from Microsoft right now Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets will still have to make do for now as WP7S is only coming in stores later this fall. One of those Windows Mobile 6.5 phones is the K01 from Toshiba. Announced at MWC 2010 the phone has just been spotted at the FCC and its apparently coming to Europe and Asia at some point soon. We dont have actual arrival dates and pricing details but expect it to hit carriers in the near
I had a few precious moments with this at Mobile World Congress 2010 and whilst the keyboard wasn’t a Touch Pro2 beater the phone was a wonderful example of just how well rounded Windows Mobile could be. One of the most impressive features being the HD playback, smooth and crisp.
Here’s a heads up from WMpoweruser. Microsoft will not be controlling the the hardware specs of Windows Phone 7 devices. As they point out this is a good thing for one reason, no huge Zune style connectors. However, it does mean will will still have to endure what is a pet hate of mine, incompatibility between plugs and cables provided with various devices. At least we won’t have to suffer the annoyance of the iPhone with all cables looking the same but only working on one particular generation.
2 days before start of sales of iPad, Apple has switched on all the iPad apps…
