Audio tags are looking more and more like the new QR code - not only are they way less ugly than those jagged black-on-white squares, but you don't need to take a picture of anything in order for them to work. (See also: Shazam and the Super Bowl.)
The big news about the launch of Android Chrome was tarnished a little in the eyes of some by the fact that it doesn't arrive with Flash Player support of any kind. And it won't be getting any, either, according to Adobe.
The must-have app on the iPhone is not iMessage. It's not iTunes or Safari or even Find My iPhone. It's Instagram, the photo-sharing app that once described itself as "quirky." Cultish would be more appropriate these days.
The Windows Store will be Microsoft's answer to the Mac App Store. The Verge got an unnamed Microsoft source to squeal about some of the games that will debut in the marketplace. Yes, of course Angry Birds is in there.
Clocks that tell time in fascinating new ways are everywhere. I saw a clock that lit up the quarter hour the other day. It was beautiful. The Nooka app based upon their watches falls into the beautiful timepiece category. It won't replace your regular clock, but it will make checking the time a more invigorating experience.
If you want to be ripped like those American Football guys you're going to have to workout. Like all the time. You shouldn't even be reading this post. Quit your job and download an NFL player's workout app. Or if the cold snap has inspired you, go after a hockey puck. Forget it, I know we're all just gonna sit around and play video games on our iPhones.
Managing content on your Android gets to be a pain pretty quick. How much music can I put on here? Did I sync all those photos to my computer? Is this document the most up-to-date version?
Pixound brings an intriguing approach to the music app: letting you play any photo as if it were a musical instrument. That was enough to get our attention, and when we first started playing around with the Pixound app for iOS (£0.69), we thought it was a neat gimmick, but probably not worth that much.
A special treat today, folks. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is an interactive adventure where you play a dead man trying to solve the mystery of his own murder. It's a classic film noir template overlaid with lateral puzzle solving and quirky humour, bought to you by the same team responsible for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. NO OBJECTION!
If you're one of the rare Gizmodo readers that occasionally takes a break from performing internet speed tests and checking for new OS updates to watch sport on TV, you may like this. The official RBS Six Nations Live Challenge app.
Certain members of the internet community will be infuriated by research from app-monitoring company Crittercism, which claims Android is a more stable OS on the whole than Apple's iPhone system.
Video games are not known for their subtlety. Spice Invaders has a frightening message about ecological disaster and rapacious commerce, where the Earth is under attack by Space Pirates over control of a precious resource. The kicker is, you and friends get to play as the villains.
iPhones. iPads. Android. We've updated all of our essential apps lists to include a few forgotten favorites, some long awaited arrivals and, as always, even more amazing apps. Check them out!
The limitations of typing on a touchscreen hinder how effective tablets can be as productivity tools. There is hope, though, at least for iPad users. This TypeWay keyboard supposedly makes things easier, by adapting the key layout for each user.
That image up there is the aspirational lifestyle of the average Marks & Spencer shopper, as presented through the shopping chain's new app for Samsung Smart TVs.
