1 review, 7 opinions (Above average)

 

More information at: IT Reviews, 5/2011 Kaspersky - Mobile Security 9 Smartphone security has been a hot topic in recent times, yet many users are slow to realise the potential dangers that are involved with these devices, with their ability to store sensitive information such as passwords and financial details. The security industry is moving to counter the problem, and Kaspersky is the latest big name to add a mobile security suite to its arsenal. Kaspersky Mobile Security 9 takes a slightly different approach to rivals such as BullGuard by making all of the key tools available through the handset itself, rather than backing them up with an online interface. … to review

While taking full advantage of voice calls and and IM chats, it requires Wi-Fi for this and VoIP isn't yet supported. Then there is the lack of a front-mounted camera on the iPhone, limiting video calls to one-way. Other issues hopefully will be addressed in iPhone OS 3.0. … to review

In comparison, Nokia Ovi Maps has always been a richer experience, but sometimes a little over-the-top just for finding that obscure address. ...

More information at: TrustedReviews, 12/2009 Vlingo Voice Control for Mobile Phones For a number of years now, many phones have had some form of voice command system, letting you call someone on your contacts list, dial a number, play music, or check phone status just by speaking to your phone. However, the choice of functions you can perform has always been a bit limited. Well, Vlingo is here to change all that. With its sophisticated voice recognition system it adds a host of extra voice controlled features to a variety of different phones. So let's see if it's software worth shouting about.

Sky Mobile TV News & Sports MacFormat 2/2010 - Let's face it, Sky Sports is pretty expensive. ... With Mobile TV News and Sport for iPhone, Sky has made all of Sky's Sports channels (Sky Sports1, 2, 3, Xtra and News) plus ESPN, At the Races and Sky News, available to watch on Apple's device. ...

Brushes Viewer 1.1 MacFormat 12/2009 - It's common for Mac OS X apps to have associated equivalents on iPhone and iPod touch, extending their use for users of Apple's mobile platform. Unusually, Brushes Viewer heads in the opposite direction, adding value to owners of Brushes for iPhone. ...

Pocket Piano Plus for iPhone MacWorld 11/2009 - As you might guess, Pocket Piano turns an iPhone or iPod touch into a mini piano. The app comes in two versions: the 59p version has just a standard piano sound while the £1.79 version, Pocket Piano Plus, provides eight additional sounds: electric guitar, sitar, violin, flute, acoustic guitar, harmonica, dog and bagpipes. Other than the additional sounds in the Plus version, both apps function the same.

Groceries MacFormat 8/2009 - A nicely organised alternative to scribbling on a bit of paper, the “Groceries” program allows you to make a shopping list as you think of it, but cleverly organises products in groups to mirror the aisles you'd expect to find them in, in an average supermarket.
