There are many of our readers sending in emails basically asking what is the point of Adobe Air and what can we do with it, well here is one answer. AppBrain now filters Adobe Air apps; AppBrain will now make it easy to find new Android apps that use Air, so in a nutshell the new filter will now sort by apps that use Air. There are not many apps out on the market that uses Adobe Air and normally the ones you do find is a little weird. Android Community say one example of the weird is the Jell-O bounce app that contains the Bill Cosby bobble head, what is this all about many ask

If you’re unfortunate enough to encounter a problem on your Nokia N8, a hard reset maybe what you need to do. This wipes the entire phone memory and settings fresh to how it was (or should be) when you bought it. It’s also useful if you’re also unfortunate enough to have to send away your Nokia N8 for repair or exchange, or maybe in future  you maybe selling it and don’t want your information/details/media stored onto your device for someone else to access. Hopefully unlike the N97, the N8 will not encounter hard-reset bugs where we constantly have to hard reset

There is apparently an iPhone jailbreak hack called Gridlock which enables the user to place application icons on their home screen and actually doesn’t interfere with their wallpaper and even enables the user to make a pattern. According to an article over on TiPb by Brian, Gridlock for the iPhone is simple to use as all that is required is for the user to hold down on an icon which will make said the application jiggle as normal and then you can move said icon to anywhere you wish. Apparently that is all there is to it with Gridlock for iPhone , and you can’t get any simpler than that can you, just press down and drag your chosen icon anywhere and the job is done. So if you have a jailbroken iPhone and can use Cydia , you can purchase Gridlock for iPhone from Cydia for a very reasonable $0.99, and if you do then drop us a comment on what you think of Gridlock for iPhone.

It appears that iPhone giant Apple doesn’t want anyone using their catchphrase “There’s an app for that,” in any combination other than for Apple products and has thus slapped a trademark on that particular phrase. According to an article over on Gizmodo by Jesus Diaz, the US Patent and Trademark Office has granted the trademark to Apple, and according to said office a trademark is a “word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods of one party from those of others.” So this means if anyone uses any variation of the Apple trademarked phrase, such as say, “There’s an app for this,” Apple has the legal right to send in their legal guns to beat the living crap out of the offender.

Of late there have been many rumours which point in the direction of Apple launching a new CDMA iPhone early next year, most presuming it will be the much talked about and rumoured Verizon iPhone; however apparently a new report adds yet another twist to the rumours. According to an article over on Intomobile by Kelly Hodgkins, this latest report by way of Techcrunch says that Apple’s next-gen iPhone and the Verizon iPhone will not support Verizon’s LTE 4G network but rather the iPhone 5 will be dual-mode GSM/CDMA. Apparently the author of the report suggests that Apple isn’t interested in making an LTE capable iPhone due to the technology being young and emerging, and thus will forego LTE 4G in favour of the more reliable GSM, EV-DO and HSDPA tech. The author also suggests that Apple will not tarnish their reputation by being the guinea-pig for LTE.

The media, both traditional press and bloggers, clearly have their share of journalistic work to do; many writers and reporters do this job admirably. Sometimes, in fact far too often for my taste, the facts get twisted and turned in such a way as to make a story more compelling or salacious than it would otherwise be; to compound matters, headlines are generally worded in such a way as to draw readers into the story. Sometimes neither is necessary, and sometimes both can be a bit misleading

A recent addition to the LG mobile phone lineup, the LG GS170, gave me more than a few troubles recently when I went to have a look at it. It did offer some welcome features, and some worthwhile facets to its operation, but it’s also got a lot of problems to it–a LOT of them

The graphics card that doesn’t require a fridge-sized cooler is turning into something of a rarity nowadays, but we doubt the market for quiet, efficient, and halfway-decent GPUs is ever going to disappear completely. NVIDIA is fleshing out its Fermi family today with a creature that aspires to such epithets, the 96 CUDA core-equipped GT 430

When everyone else was doing 10MP, Fuji were one of the few companies that forcibly stuck to the lower megapixel ranges in an attempt to make the best use out of each and every pixel. Their early finepix models were spectacular, particularly in low light, with low noise in high ISO in comparison to their competitors who sought to attract the naive public with the megapixel race. This is a touch like Nokia with the N86 8MP. They only moved up when they were ready for it, and boy have they shown folks that they’re ready

GSM Arena has already performed a shootout (blind one in fact in an attempt to reduce bias) of the Nokia N8 against the Samsung Pixon 12 . Which as we know, comfortably won, beating out even the dedicated digital camera, the Sony HX5. They said that they didn’t bother with the Sony Ericsson Satio for two reasons – first the Pixon in previous sets has already beaten the Sony Ericsson Satio and secondly, the lack of wide angle in the Satio would make it more obvious. This comparison of the 12MP shooters, N8, Pixon 12 and Satio comes via vnvas  from data.bg. Nokia N8 followed by Pixon 12 and finally the Satio.

Axel from blog-n8.fr compares his Nokia N8 with his Samsung Galaxy S (GT i9000). The difference is most astonishing, especially in low light the N8 shows that this is not merely any old camera phone. Look how much that bigger sensor helps the N8 capture photos in low light conditions (non flash assisted as flash would be ineffective at these distances) Axel notes time and time again the colour accuracy of the N8 (always the first pic in this post) compared to the Galaxy S

The Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type has a fixed focus 5mp camera (no flash). I haven’t had a chance to properly test out the camera – these shots were mostly taken on the move (hence I’ve added to the blurring). Pictures are captured with the camera button on the touch screen.
