We are watching the newly released apps in iPhone app store every day and when we notice something of interest we are reporting here. While there are many apps that let you excercise muscles in your fingers, or even tongue, with this app, that was released to the app store merely few hours ago, you can excercise muscles in your eyes:

Using the Acer s200 at the moment I’m suitably impressed by the snappy Snapdragon processor. The idea of phones using this processor as a standard is tremendous. LG’s new device caught my attention over at Slashgear. Android and a slide out qwerty keyboard look like a winning combination.

LG have announced that they will be offering a Snapdragon-based Android smartphone in Q2 2010.  The device – which will initially be available in the Korean market – has not yet been named, and LG are keeping full specifications close to their chest, but according to the company’s VP of electronics, it will be a “more mature” device than the LG GW620 Eve which went on sale in Canada this week.

The first iPhone app store revolution was the launch of the app store – the first one that provided automatic updates and global distribution and very good conditions for developers – 70% of sales goes to developers. Everybody had to rethink everything then. Now second time such moment of rethinking has arrived.

Now Apple has done it again and the second app store revolution has just begun. Think about it: how it is possible that an app that is FREE is among top grossing apps, i.e. apps that earn the most money:

Last night I picked up our HTC HD2 review unit. Having played with a pre release model earlier I was pleased to get my hands on one of these puppies at last.

When you first see the HD2, chances are you’ll think that it’s a beast of a handset, and to be honest it is but using it for just a few minutes you soon forget about how big it is and start loving the fantastic and responsive 4.3″ CAPACITIVE touch screen – this is what all Windows Mobile should be like!

There’s plenty of horsepower under the hood and the OS runs smoothly. Granted I’ve only been using it in anger for a few hours but haven’t noticed any slow-downs.

The only significant negative that I have to say about the HD2 at the moment is in the battery department. While I’ve only been playing with this handset for a short period of time it seems clear that the battery life isn’t the best and it looks like I’d only be getting about a days worth of use out of it. It could be that the battery life will improve with a couple of proper charges and once I stop using so intensely or even that a later ROM update will extend the battery live but as it stands the battery seems a little weak in the HD2. Could it be that the huge screen it too much of a drain?

I don’t want to go ahead and spoil the full review too much and we’ll have an HD2 unboxing and tour video online for you shortly so let me leave you with a few screen shots of the HTC HD2 to whet your appetite!

Some screen shots of the HTC HD2 or “HD2 Porn” as we like to think of it!

Please do submit your questions about the HTC HT2 to me via the forum or via the comments link below and I’ll either answer you right away or else I’ll ensure that the answers are included in the HTC HD2 review.

EDIT: Our extensive HTC HD2 review is now live on site.

Another day, another Android phone. Here’s a snap shot and article I noticed over at PMPtoday of a new device that might just turn some heads next year.

The last time we talked about the Dell Mini 3i Android phone was way back in August when it debuted in China. That particular model was only limited to the Asian country and sadly lacked bothWiFi and 3G connectivity. That was 3 months ago, but today, a Dell Mini 3iX Android phone was spotted over in Brazil.

While it looks every bit the same externally as the one in China, you’ll be happy to know that this Dell Android phone finally comes with WiFi and 3G UMTS/HSDPA as well as tri-band (850/1900/2100MHz) network support. Its other specs were specifically detailed out, but we’re guessing it’ll pretty much retained most of its features although we’re not ruling out the possibility that other enhancements could have been added to this latest version of the Dell Mini 3i. The price and release date of the Mini 3iX likewise wasn’t available.

According to reports this morning by T3 Magazine here in the UK, the Droid won’t be launching on mobile networks O2 or T-Mobile, with Nicola Shenton, Head of Handset and Device Marketing at T-Mobile UK, confirming to them today that they passed up the Droid some months ago.

According to Shenton, they tested it six months ago, though it wasn’t running Android’s latest version of software, Éclair 2.0, at the time. She recalled that it was a “great phone, had a lot to offer” and that the software, even back then, was still used to the Droid’s advantage. Why T-Mobile passed up the Droid is unknown, but with the network already selling the G1and Hero (both manufactured by HTC) and the Huawei-made Pulse, there’s a chance that it just didn’t sit right amongst their portfolio, or for their target customers. T-Mobile’s become known as the destination for Android devices here in the UK, thanks to its early involvement with the Open Handset Alliance and the launch of the G1 last October, where it was the first company worldwide to release an Android mobile.

With T-Mobile and O2 out of the Motorola Droid race, it’s up to Orange, Vodafone or 3 Mobile to bring this innovative Android device to the UK.

On a slightly brighter note, Superetrader have just opened up Pre-Orders for the European version of the Droid, which will be called the Milestone at a price of £439.99 inclusive of Vat, but no idea yet on the availability.
