World Cup Apps
The World Cup is finally upon us and I am one of the unfortunate who does not have the right service in Hong Kong to get television access.
Fortunately information is only a few taps away with my trusty Android.
I have noticed there are quite a few apps to choose from and half the fun will be to choose which app will be the most useful.
Right now I have chosen Goal.com mobile to browse around on the HTC Desire, but there are plenty more to choose from.
Mashable.com have a list of World Cup apps that you can try on the Android and iPhone. I have found one interesting app for the Windows Phone which has a panoramic UX concept that resembles that of the Windows Phone 7 OS.

LinkPush for Android
Since the arrival of my HTC Desire, I have been busying myself browsing and installing apps from the Marketplace. I have come across a small yet useful little app called LinkPush. This app works in combination with the Chrome browser on your PC and Android. When you install the app to your phone you will also need to install a plugin button onto your Chrome browser.
Once installed it will allow you to send any webpage that you are currently browsing on the PC to your Android. Just push the Android button on Chrome and off it sends.
One use is when you are looking for a location on GoogleMaps. Once you have the location you can send it to your Android for later reference.
I am in the midst of moving offices and am currently at the renovation phase. I have been looking at colour palletes online for decoration and painting. So I find it useful when I find something I like I can push it to my Android to show my contractor later
Try out LinkPush and see what other uses you can come up with.
