Guys over at the Nokia Research Center are always busy developing apps, which might change the way we use mobile phones in future. Few days back, researchers from Nokia Research Center demoed a Nokia Radar App, which can be easily installed on your phone. By reading its name i thought, the app will show you who is in your close proximity, in the same way a radar does

Filed under: Stocks to Buy The first play with First Solar ( FSLR ) did not work out, to say the least: stopped out at $115 after an initial buy recommendation at $184.50 on June 2, 2009 . Talk about haircuts. Well, the calculation here is that FSLR is now slightly undervalued at $116, but the qualifiers abound for this play, so attention is advised

Filed under: International Markets , Forecasts Thinking about diversifying a portion of your portfolio out of the dollar, and in to, perhaps, other hard currencies, such as the euro? About six months ago, selling dollars and to buy euros appeared to be such a slam-dunk, no-risk investment move. After all, the United States was and will continue to record $1 trillion-plus deficits that are destined to result in further weakening in the dollar in 2010

We’ve yet to experience the Google Nexus One here in the UK but if reactions across the pond are anything to go by, the first Google phone is a bit of a mixed bag. Heralded as the best Android phone to date by many but susceptible to software and network faults according to others (not helped by Google’s customer service which, to be fair, is still in its infancy), the jury’s still out on the HTC built Nexus One. The same can’t be said for the Motorola Droid (which we can expect to launch here later this month as the Motorola Milestone ) which was incredibly well received stateside and tipped as the phone to reverse Motorola’s fortunes.

The recession has had massive global repercussions, from a significant downturn in consumer spending, through irritating alliterative media inventions (credit crunch!!) right down to morale levels. I for one considered selling a kidney to free up some extra cash. Fortunately the recession hasn’t hit LG’s product line as they continue full steam ahead with some great 2010 innovations.

Techradar.com have posted their review of LG’s first android phone, the InTouch Max GW620, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars! The review states “LG has clearly thought about what users want from a phone like this”, listing the easy to use slide out QWERTY keyboard, high quality 5.0 mega-pixel camera, effective social networking overlay and it’s reasonable price as highlights.

The review concludes by describing the GW620 as “a real case of how to make Android work without over-complicating things” echoing the President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, Dr.
