Yesterday I received a free Nexus One from Google as part of their Android Developer Seeding Program. Reader Widget Free qualified for this so I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who downloaded, rated and provided feedback on it. It has been downloaded over 22000 times. Also thanks to those who [...]
I have just uploaded version 2.8 of the Reader Widgets, both Pro and Free, to the Android Market. Here’s the changelog: Added zoom controls to the WebView. This means multitouch also works on Nexus Ones running update 1. Bug fix: users upgrading from V2.6 to 2.7 may have experienced problems with the webview requesting a [...]
It’s been a busy day here at ubikapps.net. I have just uploaded Reader Widget Free and Pro version 2.4 to the Android Market. Here’s the change log: Speed improved by requesting gzip compression from the Google Reader API. I have tried to get this working before and the solution turned out to be using a [...]

… I’m not asking for anything for this Christmas but for next year I want the perfect Android phone to be released. Maybe a keyboardless Droid, maybe the Nexus One, Two or Three (or six?) but with the following: 3.7 inch 854×480 screen Decent camera with: Flash (xenon if possible) Physical button that can be [...]
Don’t get me wrong I love my HTC Hero and it’s Sense UI. I just don’t like the fact I have to wait longer for Android updates compared to other phones. I’m sure when Eclair comes to the Hero it will be great but I just can’t stand missing out on all the new apps [...]
