facebook-connect
Facebook has just launched the Facebook App Center, an app vestibule to call its very own. It’s an investor-pleasing move, but will it actually be of any use to users? Isn’t Facebook Connect’s auto-posting more of an annoyance than anything? We’ve been pushing this opinion for a long time, but it seems we’re not alone: Orange agrees. Read more

Running a modified version of Android 4.0, “designed for humans”, the Galaxy S3 boasts some smart features including S-Voice speech recognition, eyeball tracking and Pop-up Play, which lets you shove any video clip into a small window so you can multitask with other apps. As we touched on last week, we think it’s the future for smartphones. You might be surprised to know, however, that an almost identical app is already on sale on the Google Play store, and it works on any recent Android phone. It’s called Stick It!, and the developer behind it has seen a staggering sevenfold sales boost since the announcement last week. Read more
