The coolest things for the coolest phones
Opera may not be the most popular desktop browser around but it has gathered a large following on mobile handsets, with some reports stating that the Java version is now more popular than the iPhone’s Safari for browsing the mobile web.
But is it really worth using up valuable space on the phone memory for something [...]
Big Ben is a combined phone lock, screen saver & reminder app for S60 5th edition phones. A jack of all trades, but is it a master of any? .

Music and visual effects go together like wine and cheese, as anyone who’s tried out some of the popular music programs’ visualisations will attest.

SlideIt Keyboard is another angle on the problem. It’s a sort of mash-up of the last two – a touchscreen that you use via [...]
Cocktails are strange and magical alcoholic concoctions. Unlike other high-alcohol beverages like whisky or rum that you crack open and pour out of a bottle, cocktails require a very delicate balancing act of ingredients, meticulously measured up to produce a unique and pleasant taste.
They’re also notoriously difficult to pull off successfully without at least some [...]
The smartphone is now a powerful pocket computer, capable of running many strange and wonderful apps and exploring every corner of the internet. Oh, it also makes phone calls.
Naturally, the two facets of the smartphone can be combined via internet telephony or Voice over IP – using your tiny computer’s internet connection to make free [...]
