You can tell Spotify's getting serious. At their first-ever press conference today, Daniel Ek, Spotify's founder, announced what we've come to expect over the last few days: an app store. The apps will let the 10m global Spotify users add context to their music-listening, by finding out about gigs, and actually helping learn the lyrics to those damn tongue-twisters.
A lot of people are disappointed with Minecraft - Pocket Edition. Through tears and clenched fists, they complain that it's not nearly Minecraft-y enough, with key features in the proper grownup PC version missing from the iOS and Android versions. We would counsel those folks by buying them a beer and telling them to be patient, updates are certainly coming down the pipe. Oh, and by the way, have they tried playing a game called Junk Jack?

Is the whole world of app development on holibobs this week? Sure feels like it. Nevermind, because we have three iPhone apps which will rock your socks off (or burn them off.)
Google sneaks Chrome onto the iPad. You can kinda, sorta get Facebook Timelines without Facebook's help. And as it's the weekend, make and sip a delicious cocktail.
Facebook takes its sweet 'ol time when it comes to the iPad. What it only took forever and a half to get an iPad Facebook app, right? So if you want to enjoy Facebook's new Timeline feature, don't count on Facebook. Instead, download Timelines for Facebook.
I like Chrome. In fact it's my browser of choice. I like it so much I wish there was an iOS version. Well, Google has updated it's Google Search app so that it looks and feels sort of like Chrome.
When 360 Panorama hit the iPhone last year, we liked being able to spin in a circle and have the phone create a panorama in real-time. Now Android users can do the same, thanks to some impressive trickery.
