A new app that is available to download from Google Play could just be what you need to help grow your business using mobile phone technology. From what I gather, the app is basically a means to create your own application for use on an Android mobile phone or an iPhone.  For example, one small [...]

Google + for the iPhone

Google2

Google and Apple may be having a litigious time of late, but it hasn’t stopped the creation of an app that let’s iPhone users connect with their Google plus account. Google + has caused something of a problem for many in the digital world.  Some love it; some hate it.  Personally, I am just unsure. [...]

New web browser for your tablet

nine-Andriod

Tablet devices appear to be the new laptops nowadays.  I say this because it seems an increasing number of dedicated tablet web browsers are being created. For instance, OverSkreen is used on Android devices.  It apparently floats its web-windows on the top of the screen, which allows you to have more than one screen open [...]

Have you ever wanted to create your own ringtone rather than simply downloading available tones from a specialist site?

In a disappointing move for RIM, the US National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has decided to switch to the Apple iPhone and drop the BlackBerry.

Interestingly, along with Google and some other big [...]

Charging on the Move

If there is one thing that can be really annoying, that is forgetting to charge your mobile phone before leaving the house.  It might be my age, but I must admit that I’ve done this on quite a number of occasions. However, there is now a solution to hand – literally.  A hand held mobile [...]

Will Apps Really Replace the Real Thing?

Games

This Christmas, my eldest son did something I haven’t done for quite a few years.  He bought a board game.  What’s more, both my children were happy playing Monopoly together as well as the new game.
