My good friend Rofl contacted me this morning about his new application for android called ‘Scrollcut’.

Scrollcut is a shortcuts widget which allows you to add any application shortcut, bookmark shortcut, etc.. to it and also allows you to have different sized and multiple widgets.

The application is beta at the moment, but Rofl is hoping to have available in the market soon, so if you are one of the brave, install via his website now or wait for the finished product?

NOTE: Rofl also developed Android Agenda Widget.

Swype finally comes to Nokia devices, the much used Swype for Android has been enjoyed by myself for a few months now and anyone with a Nokia S60 5th Edition phone should download this application now, its that good

Swype provides a faster and easier way to input text on any screen. With one continuous finger or stylus motion across the screen keyboard, the patented technology enables users to input words faster and easier than other data input methods—at over 40 words per minute. The application is designed to work across a variety of devices such as phones, tablets, game consoles, kiosks, televisions, virtual screens and more.

Download Swype for Symbian.

Gravity for Nokia S60 devices has been updated to v1.32 Build 6601 and brings a brand new photo section layout and improvements all round. This version will be uploaded anytime soon to the OVI Store for everyone to use, but can be downloaded right now from my Downloads BETA page.

Tweetdeck for Android is now updated to v0.9.5 and brings compatibility with all Android phone OS versions, ability to remove accounts, Reply to All, Translate tweets and a few bug fixes. This version is also available for download in the Downloads BETA page

I went to Nando’s in Preston last night and on my way back I decided I wanted to goto Tesco in Blackpool, so I got out my HTC Desire mobile phone and used the new Google Voice Actions and spoke clearly into the phone “Navigate to Tesco in Blackpool”.

What I got back from the Google servers just underpins what everyone has been thinking for awhile….

GOOGLE IS EVIL!

TweetDeck have finally released the much awaited Android application to those willing to try out the BETA.

The TweetDeck for Android like its big brother application on the Desktop allows you to add accounts from Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz and Foursquare and to add columns for people and searches (keyword, hashtags).

Now TweetDeck isn’t fully finished, remember its a BETA and not an official public release, so there are things missing that you might expect from a Twitter client like audio notifications,  customisation for Update Interval and select photo service to use (YFrog is the default), but what we do have is a fully functional Twitter client which is fast and smooth. Many people have complained about the grey look of TweetDeck, but I like it and the notifications for a Hashtag column will keep me updated on events which are happening.

Honest I’m really liking Tweetdeck, I can post text or photo to Twitter, Facebook and Google Buzz at the same time and I have actually started to interact with people on Facebook, something I’ve not done in awhile I’ve ditched Seesmic for the moment and using TweetDeck, there has already been an update to the application over the weekend to allow font change and I’m hoping for more great updates in the next days/weeks.

Register for the BETA (its on Version 0.9.2 now) over on TweetDeck  and follow TweetDeck on Twitter for updates.

UPDATE 17/08/10:
The Android TweetDeck Beta app has been updated to v0.9.3 and can be downloaded from here TweetDeck for Android (57)

This latest beta release contains the following changes:
- Fixed an issue with font-size slider on certain devices
- API is now at level 5, which should ensure full compatibility with Android 2.0
- Many data optimisations including size of queries and greatly reduced Facebook image sizes
- Added option to control refresh rate per column under Manage Columns (Not final UI, this will come in another update)

Nokia Conversations Promotes Sym4Square
http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/08/11/symbian-foursquare-video

I’m shaking my head in disbelief as I write this blog post at the sheer stupidity of someone on Nokia Conversations, YES STUPIDITY, for they are openly promoting an UNSIGNED application on it. Nothing wrong with Unsigned applications if you get them signed via the SymbianSigned SAFE process, but Nokia Conversations are openly promoting a developer who is bypassing the SymbianSigned process and creating Developer Certificates for individuals, Yeah just screw all the good work done by SymbianSigned and just jump on the latest FAD!

I’m all for promoting a Brand product or FAD, but they should never NEVER undermine what they are supposed to be acheiving (a safe platform) by promoting a chinese developer who is bypassing the official SymbianSigned process and creating Developer Certificates to allow his application to be install on Nokia devices.

What are you playing at Nokia Conversations? Pull this post or loss all respect I ever had for You and the SymbianSigned process. There are hard working developers who pay bloody good money for a genuine Publisher ID ($200) to allow their Unsigned applications to be tested and verified safe before they can be signed by SymbianSigned, not themselves.

I’m I missing something here or is the media person creating the next hype post for Nokia Conversations just made a BIG boob?

Let me know what you think and comment here, on the Nokia Conversations post and on twitter!

UPDATE 11/08/10 11:55 – It took them bloody long enough, but Nokia Conversations have seen sense and removed the Sym4Square Video post. Still not got a reply back from Nokia Conversations to my comments on the post or Twitter!

Its being described as the “Mean Green” away kit, but its more like a “Puke Green” away kit to me. I’d just started to actually like the old Bumble Bee away kit and thought Celtic couldn’t come out with anything worse than this, but low and behold they prove you wrong.

Just imagine you’ve been on a Saturday night out and feeling under the weather for a Sunday stupid 1215pm SkySports Kick-Off and you take your seat in the stadium and all around you you see this……

Sick bags at the ready

Nokia CP-402 Sports Armband

The Wife loves Spotify on her Sony Ericsson Vivaz and when I mentioned she could get a sports armband and listen to it while running I was given the task to purchase her one.

I thought as I looked through the crap on eBay and Amazon, why did I open my big mouth, but it took me asking on Twitter what’s a good sports armband that I got several replies saying the Nokia CP-402.

Now the Nokia CP-402 seemed a bit pricey, but looking at the tacky cheaper alternatives I decided to just shut up and pay up and I’m glad I did.

The SE Vivaz fits perfectly into the Nokia CP-402 and it fits neatly round the Wife’s arm (<cough> and my arm). There is even a little pocket on the back of it to fit a single key into, which is very handy.

Originally purchased from Play.com £12.95, but after 10 days they still didn’t know when they would get stock in, so cancelled that order and got next day from Amazon £16.95.

Thanks to @inque54 on Twitter for pointing me to this great free android game of online scrabble.

Wordfeud for Android will allow you to play friends or complete strangers at scrabble, hell you can even chat to them while you play as Wordfeud has a built in chat client.

Wordfeud will also check in the background for game changes and notify you straight away.

What you waiting for? Install, register and invite me for a game, my username is gerrymoth
