    NewsRob (Google Reader / RSS): All done in the app

    Alot of RSS readers on the market look pretty but when you click on a story take you straight to the web page. That for me defeats the object of the whole google reader concept. News rob doesnt do this. All stories are loaded within news rob itself with cut down layout and graphics enabling...

    Falling Ball: A neat time waster

    Such a simple premise for a game. Dodge the ever increasing number of balls by running back and forth by tilting your phone. However it really isnt as simple to play it. The varying bounces and speed of the balls make it a very challenging little game. Great for killing a bit of time.

    Smart Keyboard PRO: Nice layout

    I tried 4 or 5 keyboards before settling on this. While it may not have the gimmicky approach of swype or slide it it is a very well laid out keyboard thats an all in one package. By that I mean theres no requirement to go off to the market place to find more themes etc. From within the...

    Epicurious Recipe App: A must have for cooks no matter what skill level

    Im not normally a big fan of these programs as typically they contain overly complex recipes with ingredients that aren't readily available. However this app is brilliant. It has a variety of categories for both food and drink enabling you to browse for what you need without having to wade...

    Smaller facebook widget?

    Hi All I've been on a mass retheming kick today. Adding home++ and a whole shedload of widgets to streamline my use of the phone. However after re-organising everything I found that the facebook widget is just that bit to dang big. From what I can tell its 4 x 2. What I'd really like is...
