If you saw my iPad video earlier this year where I showed how the iPad can be used as a sales tool you would have seen that I used Goodreader for viewing Word/Excel/PDF’s etc. Well now the iPhone version of GoodReader has just been updated to include the newest features added to the iPad version earlier this month. The newest version includes a new PDF displaying engine, offering a much smoother experience when zooming/panning a file, plus AirPrint support for wireless printing. GoodReader now also offers more features for annotating files, including:
· Adjustable line thickness and opacity for drawings
· Redo button in freehand drawing mode
· Freehand drawing tool now allows users to zoom and pan a page with two fingers, useful for long handwritten notes that do not fit on one screen
· Freehand drawing tool now works much faster on pages containing a large number of annotations
Head on over to the App Store from your iPhone and check it out.

One of the more mysterious and ambitious Android Tablets is previewed here in this youtube video. The Notion Ink Adam really looks the biz and there is a huge overlay deposited onto Android. A lot of this seems like it will be alien to an adopter but once mastered it should prove to be productive environment, if all goes to plan. Check out the video after the break:
All those people who wanted to get their hands on Gingerbread and the Nexus S will have to wait another couple of days as the Carphone Warehouse has pushed back the release date of the latest Google handset to December 22nd. And on December 22nd, the phone will be only available at “key stores,” so as you would expect online orders are encouraged with the promise of “instant ship delivery.” Pre-orders will probably get their handsets on Wednesday also..
The Carphone Warehouse has also confirmed the price drop of the Nexus S of £120 to £429.99.

Rejoice Vodafone Wildfire users, you are getting some Froyo goodness this morning! The update brings support for USB tethering, possibility of installing applications to SD card (if supported by the application), native support for Activesync Exchange (email, contacts and calendar sync) and security policies, an enhanced Camera application, enhanced Bluetooth support, speed and stability improvements, multiple keyboard languages and WiFi Hotspot tethering. However, the update does not bring live wallpapers or Flash support in the browser because of “Hardware Limitations.” Vodafone’s words, not mine.
It’s not Gingerbread but still a good update for all Wildfire owners on the Vodafone network and if you are go press those update buttons!

Chat for Facebook Pro is a new BlackBerry app that has recently appeared in BlackBerry App World. Like the title suggests the app will allow you to use Facebook chat from your BlackBerry. This app is not the first to so this as many of the integrated instant messaging apps such as Trillian, Nimbuzz and IM+ offer the same, but where this one is quite nice is that the interface is very much like Facebook and at 79 pence it wont break the bank meaning you can always be in touch with your Facebook friends while out and about.

Announced back in September and first seen at Nokia World in London the Nokia C7 was one of four new devices all running the latest version of Symbian (3). The C7 sits somewhere in the middle in terms of size although the specs are not much different from the N8 flagship device.
Love or hate Symbian, what we can confirm is that sales of the C7 will be high. Nokia are still the worlds leading phone manufacturer and this does not look set to change anytime soon.
Check out the unboxing video below and see what you think of this well built, robust, powerful smartphone.
HTC have created there own YouTube app for Windows Phone 7. If you are a WP7 user then this must be downloaded as it supports HQ playback and is pretty speedy. The app is not yet in the HTC Hub but can found in the Marketplace under apps – music & video.
If you have not seen the app in action then please see the below video where i give a quick demo if the UI and video playback.
I am pretty impressed with this one although there is still some work to be done.
It is the great pleasure we present our Podcast app for Android. It has been a long time coming and the Apple fanboys have been rocking it for a while however we finally got our act together and have gone multi-platform. You can find it now on the Android Marketplace and Appbrain.
Enjoy and James apologises for all the profanity he adds.
