An update on TweakDeck
PaulOBrien in - Android News
UPDATE!
With respect to the below, I sent Twitter a reply saying as requested i'd pulled the app from the Market. They replied:
I asked...
To which they replied...
They also re-confirmed that they are working to get me the contact I requested in the TweetDeck Android team. SO... all's well that ends well, TweakDeck will shortly be reinstated with a new icon and modified Market title. Thanks Twitter!
--------------------------------------------------
It is with some regret that I have to tell you that TweakDeck, my fixed and patched version of the TweetDeck application for Android, is no longer available.
As regulars will know, I started the TweakDeck project as a long time fan of TweetDeck, when the release of the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich rendered it unusable on a number of devices. Over the past few weeks I have fixed a lot of functionality on the device, enabled translation and much more. Of course, I would love to have done so with the TweetDeck team's blessing, but since e-mails have gone either unanswered or bounced and DM's (the advised contact method) have also not elicited a response, there was always the danger that Twitter would frown upon my efforts.
And they have.
Unfortunately, this evening I received an e-mail from the 'Global Brand Protection Manager' at Twitter, stating that...
This is a little bit of a surprise to me as the Market description for TweakDeck clearly states 'THIS APPLICATION IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH TWEETDECK OR TWITTER!' but of course, I completely understand Twitter taking this stance which they are perfectly entitled to do.
With this in mind I have unpublished TweakDeck from the Android Market while, through my new found Twitter contact, I try and obtain permission to re-offer TweakDeck with an icon and name which doesn't risk trademark infringement. I have asked the contact to put me in touch with the TweetDeck Android team and i'll keep you posted on when / if I receive a response.
I'm sorry to disappoint the tens of thousands of TweakDeck users, but I hope we can move forward to find an acceptable solution to keeping TweetDeck alive!

"Thanks Paul. The team loves your work and I'm working on getting you a contact to help answer questions about the app. Our concern is mainly with the use of the bird as your icon, as this is explicitly not allowed as per our trademark policy."
I asked...

"If I can reinstate the app with a birdless icon and without Tweetdeck in the title, with your blessing, that would be fantastic. :-)"

"Blessed."

It appears that your app TweakDeck is causing confusion because of your unapproved use of the Twitter bird and your description as "TweetDeck Based".

ZTE Optik - US only 7 inch honeycomb tablet
Mark Dearlove in - Android News
The 7 inch tablet options in the US continues to increase with and more manufacturers introducing models into what was previously a fairly niche market.
ZTE have announced their first foray in partnership with Sprint. The ZTE Optik will go on sale this week at the headline price of '$100'. This price is only available to those buyers taking out a 2 year data contract with Sprint so its not as good as it looks. If you want to buy it outright then it will cost you the princely sum of almost $350 which is a lot of cash for a tablet of this ilk. Bearing in mind the expected launch price for the Asus MeMo 370T is just $250 for a quad-core Tegra 3 sporting 7 incher, I would be loathed to pay $350 for the Optik.
The specs are OK, 1.2GHz dual-core cpu, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, and a 1280x800 screen resolution, but they are unlikely to tempt people to part with their cash at the price point announced.
I have said it before and I will say it again - where is the innovation from manufacturers? Maybe we will see someone with their finger on the pulse launch something truly innovative. Am I aiming my hopes too high?

Windows Phone 8 new features
Mark Dearlove in - Windows Phone News
After a leaked video from Microsoft that was intended for Nokia, we now have an idea of some of the new features of Windows Phone 8. The video, viewed by PocketNow, shows Microsoft's Windows Phone Chief explaining what can be expected from the next release, codenamed 'Apollo'.
Windows Phone 8 will now be using the same kernel as the full version of Windows 8, as well as the same security, video and graphics models. WP8 will also see expanded support for different screen resolutions - 4 in total. NFC, Skydrive, and BitLocker technologies will be a part of the standard build as will app-app communication capabilities.
The DataSmart feature is designed to reduce data usage by automating switching between mobile data and wifi hotspots, as well as providing a tiled view of your current data usage. Additionally the WP8 browser will work in a similar way to Amazon's Silk browser, or Opera Mini. Your browsing sessions will be routed through proxies which will be able to compress the pages on the server side, reducing your data usage.
It's still early days but we expect WP8 to be launching at the same time as Windows 8 itself which is scheduled for the end of 2012.

Humble Bundle goes Android - some great games and you name the price!
Victor von Zeppelin in - Android News
The humble indie bundle is a PC gaming institution these days. Now, the same sense of smug satisfaction is is available to Android owners too. Each bundle consists of a small group of indie games made available on a name-your-price purchase - simply go to the website, enter what you want to pay (from $0 to thousands of dollars) and enjoy.
Of course, where this bundle differs from buying apps in the market is that a certain, selectable percentage of what you pay is donated to charity, and you can also chose how much you want to give each developer.
The 4 games on offer from the bundle are Anomaly HD, Osmos HD, Edge and World of Goo. I'll preface my short reviews by saying that all of these games are excellent. To the point where you shouldn't hesitate paying at least something to get hold of them. You can even get codes to unlock the games on steam and play them on your PC. For that reason I’m writing this instead as an incentive to pick up the bundle. Remember guys, Charity!
Just be quick. As of writing there’s only 11 days remaining on the deal.

Phone-slinging fun with XAPPR gun
dialmformostyn in - Android News
It’s been a long time coming, and top of any crazy person’s feature wish list, but smartphone owners can finally shoot one another with their handsets! Not with bullets though, you nutter, but geek-safe zeroes and ones.
The XAPPR Gun hooks up to your Android (or if you’re so inclined, Windows Phone and iPhone) and lets you rata-tat-tat your way through shooters utilising your phone’s movement sensors to navigate augmented reality and what not.
But why stop at augmented reality when you have reality right there and iOS-armed friend spoiling for a Xappr showdown? Enter the soon-to-be-released game ATK in which you’ll be able to set about each other in a frenzied gun-fight and prove one and for all which one of you would get out of Nakatomi Plaza alive. And then go for drink and hope no-one saw you.
Check out Xapprgun.com where you can pre-order the rather handsome looking gadget for US$49.99 including shipping and handling.

If you don't own a panda, get a bamboo Android phone
dialmformostyn in - Android News
Of all the different materials you might associate with mobile phones, bamboo is perhaps one that doesn’t spring immediately to mind, but lo and behold someone’s only gone and done made an Android one! In fact they’ve plans to make quite a few as they go on sale across the UK later this year.
The ADzero is the brainchild of Kieron-Scott Woodhouse, a 23-year-old design student, who created the handset from treated bamboo.
Bamboo is a durable material used abundantly throughout parts of the world like Asia for everything from chopsticks to scaffolding because it is extremely strong and light. These benefits will hopefully be evident when implemented in the design of a mobile phone, which can take their fair share of bumping and bashing over the years.
The designer claims the bamboo-encased Android is actually half the weight of the iPhone, despite having a bigger screen.

Reckless Racing 2
Feb 03 2012 09:00 AM | Reesters in - Android News
Polarbit have today released Reckless Racing 2 onto the Android Market.
We did receive a demo copy early to review, but unfortunately the controls on the Xperia PLAY had issues and made it unplayable for me. Not to say that it is unplayable on ALL Xperia PLAYs (I did email and they are working on a solution). We will have a review online in due course!
The game is available to buy NOW from the Android Market priced at £3.17.

Seesmic release 'Ping' - desperate update seeking hordes groan in despair
PaulOBrien in - Android News
Seesmic, makers of, er Seesmic, have today released a new application named 'Ping'.
Available now from the Android Market for the princely sum of FREE, Ping offers the ability to post and schedule pictures and links to Twitter, Facebook Pages and Linked In, each supporting multiple accounts.
Now, this functionality in itself is nice enough, but if i'm honest... I don't really understand why this is a seperate app from the companies main offering. These features would fit great with an update to the main app (which hasn't been updated since June 17, 2011) so for me this is unnecessary duplication. Particular frustration arises from the fact that a Seesmic update featuring Honeycomb support was teased back in May of this year, but never materialised.
Thoughts? Am I being too harsh and a post-only application has value? If you want to give the app a go, head on over to the Android Market.
Thanks SteveEdson for the tip!

Got NFC? What are you doing with it?
PaulOBrien in - Android News
NFC is here. The Nexus S has it. The Galaxy Nexus has it. Some Galaxy S IIs have it. The forthcoming Xperia products are going to have it. But the thing is, what are you going to do with it? This is the dilemma that hit me when I got my Galaxy Nexus. I had a Nexus S previously and just didn't use NFC, but I figured I must be missing out... so I started having a play.
The first thing I tried was hacking on a copy of Google Wallet, which worked great - to a point. I managed to get everything working and redeem my free $10 prepaid Google Card, but then, since i'm in the UK, that was the end of the fun - no way to top up.
The second thing I tried was beaming stuff between devices over NFC, which works well too - but that gets dull very quickly.
The third thing I tried (after a tip from Arne at theUnwired), was scanning my NFC enabled passport. For this I used NFC TagInfo and the PassportImageDecoder plugin. Nice, I can see a bunch of information about myself and even my passport picture!
Again - this got boring quite rapidly!
Where NFC really starts to get interesting is with your own writable tags. Sony plan to exploit this on their new range with their SmartTags, but rather than paying £14.99 for 4 shiny ones, you can buy simple tags for less than a quid each. I bought 5 for £7.50 from nfc-supplies on Amazon, but they actually seem to be cheaper at RapidNFC (UK) or Chipwave (US). I'm currently using NFC Task Launcher to hook into my Tasker setup, and it's pretty cool. I'm just walking around the house looking for things I can automate with NFC tags.
Details of my setup after the break for news page readers...

Sky Go for Android slated for February release
PaulOBrien in - Android News
Well, it's been a long time coming (it's been out on iOS for a while, as per Sky's usual releases), but Sky have announced that their Android 'Sky Go' release is set to happen in February ('next month', the article was published in the last few days of January!)
Sky Go is the TV service that is available at no extra cost to Sky customers across PC, laptops, iPhone and iPad, with access too all five Sky Sports channels, ESPN, Sky News and 11 Sky Movies channels in line with your subscription. Sky is also adding support for Sky Atlantic effective immediately and Sky 1, Sky Living and Sky Arts 1 in the next month.
The Android release will initially be limited to the most popular Samsung and HTC handsets (it's unsure whether this is a marketing or technical limitation). As a Sky customer myself, this has to be good news... particularly since it doesn't add any cost to the subscription and my experiences testing Sky Go on iPad have been largely positive!
More details can be found at Sky Help and Support.

TurboViewer provides FREE 3D viewing for DWG files
Novek in - Android News
TurboViewer isn't the first DWG viewer on the Android Market, but it's the first to provide fluid viewing of 3D objects!
Using your Android device for viewing of CAD drawings won't seem like the best solution when you're behind your desktop, but on the move, at a conference and so on it may well be the best option! From my point of view, as an actual user of AutoCAD, it will be a nice addon when I want to show off my new drawings in meetings.
Read on after the break, where I'll go more into detail.

Wondering what to do with NFC? Take a look at this ...
Mark Dearlove in - Android News
So you have a nice shiny Galaxy Nexus with Near Field Technology built in. Have you ever used it for anything other than scanning everything you can find with a RFID tag in it?
Luckily there are some very clever people over at Stanford's MobiSocial Computing Laboratory who have been looking at new and interesting ways to make use of NFC technology. The video below is a year old, but I think it shows the potential for the NFC technology.
How would you like to play Poker against your mates using your phones as the controllers and having the whole game displayed on your TV? Well the Stanford guys can make that work!
Maybe you want to instantly display photos stored on your phone onto your 50" TV. They have cracked that too.
How about a collaboration session where a whiteboard is displayed on your TV and all the drawings/text are transmitted from your shiny Nexus? Yep, they have that covered too.
They also show off streaming a netflix movie, and presenting a slideshow from their handset.

T-Mobile Changes data Plans for Mobile Users
flibblesan in - Android News
Following on from the announcement of the 'Full Monty' plan, T-Mobile have made some major changes to it's data plans for mobile users. According to source ITProPortal, plans will now be split into four different packages with the following allowances:
The WiFi is provided by BT Openzone via it's UK wide hotspots.
I can't help think that T-Mobile are trying to get customers to move to the more expensive 'Full Monty' plan which provides an Unlimited mobile data allowance. I personally feel that T-Mobile's offering is not as competative as other operators such as 3 who provide a unlimited data on the One Plan for £25 per month which also includes tethering.
