BBC has always been renowned for delivering the latest, accurate news as it happens. An app for Android is a good idea in keeping with the times and like most Android-based news apps, the BBC app is free and can be downloaded from the Android Market .

Our resident Hardware Ninja, Rossi, lives for speed - by uhh riding his bicycle. He's Tech2's utility man, dividing his time between cameras, software and intense bouts of Quake III. He's also a fan of all things obscure, case in point, Live for Speed (sic). Never heard of it? We rest our case. In his spare time he tries to teach our new joinees the tricks of the trade even though the blood sweat and tears, but give him a camera and all things forgotten.
