Posted by on the 2nd June 2012

It’s a Diamond double weekend here in the UK, with no fewer than four days of crown-wearing celebration stretching out before us as our absolute monarch marks 60 years of some top-notch Queening. Naturally, Life of Android will be joining the pomp and circumstance with our own in-office street party, but if you’re not planning on breaking out the bunting, is there anything else you and your republican ways can to do while the national rejoices? But of course there is!

Five apps for the four day weekend do you? Thought so. Just shuffle down the page and you’ll find this week’s hottest new games and utilities in bite-sized delicious app format.

If you’re looking for more reading material, then point your eyes in the direction of our week in news. There you’ll find a way to Bump your pics from phone to PC, taste sweet justice as malicious malware makers are brought to book, learn of an Android-Google OS hybrid from the horse’s mouth, how the chips are down for Intel as it makes the move into Android-only smartphones, and how to protect your personal data when using public hotspots with the help of of Hotspot Shield.

Whether you’re a monarchist or not, that’s a right royal roundup for you!

 The Island: Castaway

Ever since Lost ended on television and I realised I’d wasted seven years of my life, I’ve desperately searched for a mysterious island that wouldn’t leave me crushingly disappointed. And, unlike answers from Jacob, decent explanations or satisfying conclusions, I believe I have finally found it on the shores of The Island: Castaway…

Smart Tools

It’s the Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK and, thanks to Queen Lizzy holding tight to the throne for 60 years, we get four days off, which can mean only one thing: D.I.Y. Yes, while the singletons play, married couples up and down the country will be enduring IKEA and making home ‘improvements’. And if that sounds like what you have in store, arm yourself with the Swiss Army Knife of apps: Smart Tools…
