We like to look at all sorts of apps when we’re deciding what should be app of the week. We’ve had all sorts of apps in the past and our last three picks were the new release from FourSquare, the revival of Hipstamatic in video form and an alternative to Moves. This week though we’ve…
If you’re interested in tech news, it’s the story which has been almost impossible to miss over the last few weeks. Apple is reportedly planning on buying Beats, the headphone and music streaming service, for $3.2 bn. It’s news that has got people scratching their heads around the world; Beats headphones don’t have the best…
Who remembers the original Foursquare? The app which was centered around check ins and for people to find their friends around them. Since it’s launch in 2009, the app has grown to be more of a TripAdvisor rival than a fun checking in app, which seems to have prompted the team to split the app…

It’s called Project Cider and it’s aiming to get iOS apps, running on Android devices and vice-versa. Today the team that are working on it published a video (which you can see…
Any early iPhone adopters will remember Hipstamatic, the original Instagram. It gave users an (arguably) better selection of filters than Instagram and had it’s own network for sharing them within.

We’ve been talking about it for some time now, but today is finally the day Microsoft takes over Nokia. The news first broke on the 3rd September last year when Nokia announced that they were struggling and Microsoft realised that their slow approach to joining the mobile marketplace was having a serious effect on their…
Hope you all had an excellent Easter break (staying well away from any obvious puns here). Now that we’re well into spring, it’s normally the time that people start to think about getting away, if they haven’t already taken a few days off. I’m off to Barcelona in two weeks to catch a bit of…
Announced last week with a load of publicity to boot, Carousel is the new app from cloud storage firm Dropbox. If you’re having trouble finding it in the app store, just search for ” Carousel by Dropbox ” and it’ll be the first listing. The idea behind it is to work as a cloud based…
