2Adds a shortcut to Google’s online applications right in your Windows Mobile’s home screen.
Google Mobile App Review
by on March 14, 2010
This small free app does the seemingly useful thing of adding a shortcut bar to both your phone’s Home screen and its Today page. If however you were expecting the rather resplendent online applications the iPhone is blessed with think again.
The Windows Mobile versions are a repugnant reminder of how behind the mobile-times Microsoft has left this platform. The crude renderings of your usual beautiful Google Mail and Google Calendar cut these back to the bare-bones levels on functionality, while Google Documents becomes a viewer only application.
Perhaps the most usable part is the RSS reader but even this is something of a mess as it desperately tries to render overly long headlines on the limited screen. Of course these are just the mobile versions you can link directly to anyway but the point remains that these are a crude-shadow of what’s available on other platforms and also as standalone forms.

Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.

pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
