You Look ‘Marbellous’ – New Marble Puzzler Hits the iPad
When Billy Crystal dressed up as ‘Fernando’ and uttered the words ‘Darling, you look maaaaahvelous!‘… Perhaps he was referring to the new marble puzzler for iPad from the folks at Tome Studios.

LG Application Store Refreshed, Adding Android This Year
LG’s Application Store launched last summer for Windows Mobile devices, and today announced that on top of a facelift to their site, they’re spreading to Android before the end of the year.

JayBird’s SB2 Sportsband Bluetooth headphones look cool for running
These days I’ll need to grab myself a pair of new Bluetooth headphones. I was thinking to buy some of the so called “active” models that I could use while in a gym or when jogging, and at the moment my top pick is the Motorola S9-HD (if you have any comments about them, I…
AppTech offers free vuvuzela MP3 ringtone; Use it if you dare
By now we all learned to hate vuvuzelas. At first it seemed interesting to see the fans using this obnoxious instrument (if I can call it an instrument at all) at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but soon afterwards it was clear to me – vuvuzela is the instrument of the Devil himself.…
