data streamed from the track directly to your Android device. Whether you’re on
the go or sitting in the comfort of your home in front of the TV, the app
delivers live F1 racing data to your Android device. Once you’ve tried this
fantastic app you’ll never be able to watch Formula One without it again. F1
Timing works on a variety of the most popular Android devices including the
Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire, Nexus One, Motorola Milestone and Sony Ericsson
X10 to name a few.
Zoom
in on live maps and watch the race unfold in front of your eyes
The F1 Timing app instantly delivers track
positioning and data stream from the race course to your smartphone. Follow
your favorite drivers through the interactive 3D map and watch the race unfold
before your very eyes. The map includes all sorts of features, including the
ability to focus on a driver and rotate the map. The F1 Timing App puts you in
the driver’s seat like never before. The Live Leaderboard lets you know who’s
in the lead. You can even view pit stops, so you’ll be the first to know who
will cross the finish line first and emerge victorious.
There’s plenty of useful data available at
your fingertips just waiting to be discovered. Not only can you view an
interactive map, you’ll even receive live tyre data feeds to your smartphone.
If you’re a data junkie this is a must-have - find out the exact tyre type and
compound each driver is using at any point in the race. Not only that, you can
even view the two previous tyre types used. Depending on the weather
conditions, tyre types can be a factor in influencing the results of the race.
Follow
a race with fully interactive 3D maps
The Live Timing feed delivers a host of
useful data to your Android device. Receive up-to-the-second positions, lap
times, gaps, sectors times, circuit data, speeds and race status. DRS (Drag
Reduction System) Zones, a new addition to F1 in 2011, have been brought to the
app. What’s a DRS Zone? They’re a point in the track where drivers can gain an
aerodynamic advantage to pass fellow drivers on their way to victory. These
zones are clearly marked on the track, so you’ll know if a last second
come-from-behind victory could be on the cards.
You’ll never need to worry about checking
Formula1.com again for the latest news. Breaking F1 news as it happens is
instantly delivered to your home screen so you’ll never miss an important news
story again. You can tinker the news settings to make sure your racing
experience is perfect. Our only major complaint is at £19.99/$33.99 the app is
very pricey. The free version is hardly worth downloading - it’s just an
advertisement for the paid version. You can barely do anything.
If you’re a serious F1 racing fan this app
is a must-have, but if you’re a casual viewer you might consider saving your
money.
A
host of information is at your fingertips, including tire type and DRS zones

Rethink
- Tasks done the new way
Smartphones were supposed to make our lives
a lot simpler, not more hectic. Feeling overwhelmed with all the apps you have
to check and the tasks you have to remember on a daily basis? Take control of
your smartphone - and your life - with Rethink. Rethink is a revolutionary way
to keep track of all your daily tasks in your busy life. This isn’t your
typical run-of-the-mill task manager app - Rethink takes task management a step
further by allowing you to create context-sensitive task reminders. You’re no
longer bound simply by time - you can create tasks that are triggered by events
in your daily routine, so you can concentrate on the important things in life
and not have to worrying about picking up bread and milk at the supermarket.
Rethink offers the perfect balance between
simple, yet effective, in one powerful app. Setting up task reminders is quick
and easy. You can set up task triggers when you arrive at a specific location,
contact friends and family, connect to a Wi-Fi network or at a specific time of
the day. For example, if you need to buy some stamps from the post office you
can create a reminder next time you’re driving by so you’ll remember to stop
in. Do you ever finish a conversation with a friend and only seconds later
realize you forgot to mention an important detail? Create a reminder next time
your friend calls or sends an SMS message so you won’t forget.
This is only the beginning of how Rethink
can make your life a whole lot easier. There are a host of extra features
including the ability to trigger multiple tasks, synchronize tasks with your
default calendar, and color code tasks for easy management. Never feel
overwhelmed again with Rethink, the application that promises to change your
life.
Verdict
Take your mind off daily tasks and let
Rethink take care of the rest
