Goodbye SMS, BlackBerry Messenger and everything else as Facebook launches its Facebook Messenger [download]. That is exactly what the hype is all around though I doubt this messenger ousting any of the existing instant messaging apps on a mobile device. Had it been that way, many other apps would have already got a better chance to oust these mobile applications.

For all those with a jailbroken iPhone, Cydia is an absolute necessity for being the App Store for the jailbroken apps. I have in particular disliked how one can get lost searching through its categories for something you aren’t fully aware of where to find. That to on your iOS device like the iPhone, iPad or the iPod Touch. Think of the same being done on your desktop or your Macs, easy isn’t it? Well Cydia Search from Plant-iPhones is all about doing the same.

App Store fever is coming to Microsoft as well as images of the Windows 8 App Store were leaked on the Internet. The app store is highly likely to feature in Windows 8 and from the images, it seems we will have quite a desktop like feel to it. That’s just my opinion though.

Christmas was big especially when I look at the stats on readership for the posts made on iPhone and Apple in the last one week. I was looking forward for a graph to put a visual representation of the spike in app downloads specifically. And that is what I came across shortly back.

The idea of suing someone sounds fascinating. Of course not being sued is something I wouldn’t personally like being tried upon. There had to be a way to get this going online especially with all those friends on the social networks you are a part of and who are often found doing many things they deserve being taken to court for. Poking on Facebook is one of those irritating habits.

I love Angry Birds and I would gladly state many others love it for sure it can be on iPhone or the Android Platform. Though I must add some salt to the Windows Phone 7 users who might not be getting this game from Rovio till 2011.

I have dearly missed the Google Reader app for my Android device and Google appears to have finally paid heed to this need. The Android devices today embraced the official Google Reader for Android based smartphones bringing your subscriptions right to the mobile device.

The Android Market has just crossed the 100,000 App mark. That’s just what came in as a message on Twitter from the AndroidDev as he shared the Google Mobile OS surpassing a major milestone. I bet the Apple fans are going to jump in with comments slurring that this is no thing compared to what the App Store has to offer and an equally large number of apps for the jailbroken devices. But that’s not the argument for this post.
Google only recently expanded the territories of the Android Market by extending it to over 20 countries. 20 countries plus and an open sourced mobile OS is all you need to attract the brainy developers out there to add more apps, be they utilities or games to the market. The Android only recently took over market shares from the Apple iPhone in the US and it continues to expand exponentially. And while the apps for the iOS based devices might be thrice as many as those n the Android Market [around 280,000 Apps], I can see that the number will be crossed easily in the next year.

Ever wondered who used your iPhone while you left it at your desk at home or office? If this is and you are looking forward to an easy way to find who used your iPhone, there’s iGotYa app at Cydia that lets you do the same.

I bet many folks around us have this urge to see a naked picture or at least come across one randomly. Let me be honest, it happens a lot of times with me when I search for relevant pictures for blog posts. While those minimalist pictures have been taken with the subjects explicitly required to be in those outfit [or without them]. But what about all those pictures in clothes, depicting decency? I mean there should be some way of adding some explicitness to these.
