So there I was, around midday, looking for a way to get to my next appointment. I was [...]

The official Twitter app has been updated to version 4.0, bringing with it a new design that finally fits in with Android’s Holo design language, autocompletion of usernames and hashtags and the ability to show photo galleries, apps and product listings in Tweet detail screens. Having been quite a critic of previous versions, I have [...]

Facebook recently sent out invites to their press event that is taking place on April 4, which has set the rumour mill ablaze once more.
