Weather Maps for the iPhone

Here is a free app that I have on my iPhone which gives some good and detailed weather information it's called Weather Maps and gives weather information right across the world. Plus it's also free. " All continents (except Antarctica) are covered, so now you can talk about the weather all day. Showing rain, temperature, and cloud coverage details means you'll never get caught out in the rain. All maps downloaded are smart cached so you can always be sure that maps are available to view at a later time." More deets after the jump.

Good feedback about expansys

[From James Gleaves] Hi Sammy thought I'd drop a lineI purchased from expansys and received great service. I purchased a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc for my daughters birthday.I explained it was her birthday the next day and needed a quick send out. I was pleased to say it came the next day even though I placed my order at 3pm. I wish other online stores acted the same, it will be my pleasure to shop at expansys again and thanks to them my daughter received the phone the next day. Please recommend expansys Sammy. [SAMMY Happy to.] Expansys - http://www.expansys.com/

Sidekick 4G review

[From Eric Mann] Engadget did quite a good review of the Sidekick 4G which I believe runs Android. "It's been nearly two years since we last reviewed a T-Mobile Sidekick, and it would be a vast understatement to say things have changed. Then, they were designed by Danger and manufactured by Sharp, and were the messaging phone of choice. Today, following fiasco and failure, the Sidekick empire is in ruins. But good ideas and their originators live on, and several of Danger's brightest wound up in Mountain View, California. Danger's Andy Rubin founded Android, design director Mattias Duarte built Honeycomb (after helping craft the Helio Ocean and webOS for Palm) and now, the Sidekick itself has joined its founders in the house that Google built."

Sammy's Diary - Using my iPhone to take pictures of the street party

Obviously it's a royal wedding today in the UK and so today its a public holiday and very much everywhere is a street party as you can see from my pictures below which I've taken on my iPhone. Everyone is happy, lots of people talking photographs on their mobile devices, I've seen a lot of people with iPhone and . Blackberry devices. Its great to see everyone getting into the spirit. I've had a busy day on my iPhone and thankfully my battery is doing a great job and lasting well into the day. I hope that you are having a great Friday.

I took the pictures using the excellent Instagram for iPhone.

I'm now watching the Royal Wedding on my iPad

[From Andrew S] Hi Sammy, I see that PalmAddict started in 1999, when Prince William was still at school. Keep up the good work! It is slightly annoying that I have to watch video on CNN because the BBC website says "Cannot Play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version." Back on the big screen, the BBC version has better quality video. Even more annoying is that some of the CNN video on "The Royal Wedding: Encore Presentation" says "So Sorry - While joining the party with our live video experience doesn't require a royal invitation from the queen, it does require a flash compatible browser! What to do?? Catch live coverage through the CNN mobile apps or by downloading Adobe Flash Player!" even though my Mac does have Flash Player.

Android is buing sued because of Android phone tracking.

Like the two iPhone users, they're hoping to represent other Android owners in a class-action suit." Read in full.
