APP NEWS:

Android app news: Google Docs gets native app
What a lovely addition to the Android Market Google has fashioned here. The native Google Docs app for Android allows you to create and have access to your cloud documents in a beautifully clean interface, but also has a special trick up its sleeve. There's an OCR reader on-board to enable you to take pictures of text and then transform them into editable documents.

APP REVIEWS FROM THE T3 APP CHART:

iPhone app review: Championship Manager 2011
The season is about to reach its climax, leading to a long, boring summer of cricket and tennis for die-hard football fans. One way to escape that is to continue the season all year round with a dose of Champo on the iPhone. It's a slightly scaled down version of the desktop classic, but remains a complex and enjoyable run-out.

 

iPad app review: AmpliTube
How about turning your iPad into a fully-functional guitar amp, complete with a whopping 11 different effects pedals to create every sound from Seattle grunge to good old British heavy metal? AmpliTube  for iPad ably performs that task. Just plug in your guitar thanks to one of the available add-ons and you're good to go.

 

BlackBerry App review: Battles Unlimited
Some games transcend the sophistication offered by the modern smartphone and battleships is one. Battles Unlimited for BlackBerry. This free game offers all the standard fun of playing against the computer, against another player on the same handset but also against random opponents online. All three work well and for free it's one helluva bargain
