Android Fever – the 5 must-have apps for the World Cup

The world cup has started. No, literally – it kicked-off about an hour ago. The office here at work has absolutely no men at all and there are only women left. And me, of course. Naturally, I'm watching the world cup on a streaming feed and enjoying my solo status. For the rest of you unlucky folks who don't have such a lenient (or slack) Internet policy, Mashable have compiled a list of the top five must-have applications for your Android phone for the 2010 World Cup, so you need never miss a goal, booking or metatarsal injury. While each of the five applications is slightly different, there is invariably something for everyone – well, if you are interested in keeping abreast of the World Cup, anyway. It might be worth trying out all five, seeing as they look pretty polished and funky. The five similarly-named applications are: World DroidCup 2010 World Cup World Cup 2010 World Cup Essentials Goal.com In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the next four weeks of football, if only for the fact that the office will be half empty.

LG will launch 20 Android phones this year

We all know that the Android tsunami is upon us, but I still find it amazing just how many devices are  being released by manufacturers. Today, LG announced that it will launch not 5, not 10, but 20 Android handsets by the end of this year. They didn't stipulate which markets would get how many, or even outline any new phones in the works, but we can expect an Android flood from Korea. Clearly, LG want to up their position as the third biggest handset maker in the world (number 2 in the US). At least their not doing it by creating their own wacko OS. [Via Unwired View] Article by

QuickOffice Connect Mobile Suite for Android

QuickOffice Inc. has just launched their Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite for all Android 1.6+ devices. What's notable about the Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite (Since Quickoffice has been out for over a year) is the added ability to edit MS Office files (DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX) and save them to cloud storage services such as Google Docs, Box.net and Dropbox. The app does cost $15, but if you're a business user who needs the ability to edit MS Office files on the go, then this might be a worthwhile investment. It should be noted that the $15 is apparently an "introductory price" for the new release. So I wouldn't take forever to decide if you want this.
