Every Saturday we round-up the week in mobile applications bringing you news of the biggest new releases across all major platforms and a host of reviews from T3's App Chart. Let's crack on...
APP NEWS:
Sky News comes to iPad, no messin'
Sky's iPhone app and Mobile TV iPad app are two of the finest available to UK iOS-lovers and now Sky News has launched a stand alone app with live video feeds, and on-demand streams from the top stories of the day. It's free for now, but non-Sky subscribers will have to fork out for it later in the year.
Google revamps iOS app
Up until now, iPhone and iPad owners have had to put up with basic old web search until now, but Google has now released a self-contained app for iOS, integrating Google Apps, account log-ins and easier access to refined searches. It's about time, and it's free.
US military to use smartphone apps.
We all love a good military strategy action on our smartphone from time-to-time, but now Uncle Sam wants to bring that to the real-life warzone by equipping soldiers with smartphone apps. There's a couple in development; one will control the video camera in drone planes, allowing for the easy spotting of 'accidental' civilian targets, while the other will use GPS to let grunts know what areas have already been hit when they enter a warzone.
Android to be 'best mobile gaming platform'?
A bold claim considering the wonders on offer in the App Store, but Sony Ericsson reckons the Xperia Play phone will turn Android into the place to be for mobile gaming. "We've worked very closely with Google and Android to make Android the best mobile gaming platform and really go beyond the competition,” says Sony Ericsson's UK marketing man Dave Hilton.
App makers help out Japan with cheap games
While we've had to put up with tasteless and tactless stories from some gadget sites about how the Japan disaster may hit component supplies and delay launches (give us a break) it's good to see some positive vibes coming from SEGA and Capcom who have dropped the price of apps like Sonic and Street Fighter to donate all the proceeds to the recovery effort.
Dead Space overhauls graphics for iPad 2
EA has served-up the first evidence of what the iPad 2's nine-fold graphics improvement can offer with the new iPad version of Dead Space. Already out in the US, it looks almost PS3-like. UK gamers will be able to get their hands on Dead Space for iPad 2 on launch day next Friday
