Hi everyone,
I have just released a free app named TestYou. What is it? An app that offers cute and fun tests to discover new sides of your personality and test your knowledge on a particular topic.
Now is available the Beauty&Wellness test suit, shortly we’ll release many more tests on various topics (we anticipate that they are gonna be about Sports, Fashion&Shopping, Music, Movies and much more).
How clever are you?
TestYou is the test app which has two or more questionnaires for suite on a topic you want to check your training about. Each test consists of 6 questions drawn randomly from a large database, to give every time different pools. At the end of the test your profile will be displayed: if you are not satisfied redo it and find new results!
TestYou:
• is multilanguage (ita – eng)
• has an intuitive and friendly GUI
• is optimized for the last generation devices such as Samsung Galaxy S II
You can find TestYou on Android Market and SlideMe, shortly on GetJar and Mobyhand.
Enjoy it and Merry Christmas!!!
I can't find it?

I couldn't post games-related news lately because I've been VERY busy with the initial Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine’s Annual Best Software Awards nominations, recategorization and the complete redesign of the Communication, Emulators, Multimedia and System main categories. Some of the preliminary results can be seen HERE; note that as we're still urging developers to enter their product info in the PPCMag Encyclopedia of Software databases, some of the brand new categories are still empty. Developers, please PLEASE enter your titles into the Encyclopedia of Software & Accessories so that we can easily nominate it for the Awards (if it’s worthful enough)! Right now, we have to track down each and every developer, which can be particularly complicated with freeware / public domain authors, particularly if they have gone out of business for years (see for example YameCE). For example, last year it took us weeks to, finally, find the contact address of the authors of PocketGBA and Qmail, two excellent, free programs for Windows Mobile. Now, if ANYONE knows n0p’s contact address, please let us know – via his ICQ handle, I, so far, haven’t been able to contact him.
(Yes, this work is MUCH harder than many people would imagine, particularly when you need to review hundreds of different programs - just as I've done with the brand new Emulators categories in the last month - so that you have a clear picture of what should be nominated and what not. Now that I have some free time, I list what has happened in the last month. And, of course, finding and contacting the original developers, in cases, isn't easy either.)
AximSite reviewer Bryan Eley (breley) has just published a really decent review of Mobisation's new platformer game, Boneyboy. As the game has also been highly recommended by both me and Allen Gall (and I've also picked it for the initial Awards 2007 nomination), it's certainly worth a read - and the trial version giving a test ride.
MoreGames Entertainment, the developer of Orions: Legend of Wizards and Enslave, have just released another HIGHLY recommended title, Azgard Defence. Related reviews are HERE and HERE. The second review is HIGHLY recommended: it's been published by the same author, Doug Goldring, as the previous, highly recommended Orions review.
There was another eagerly waited-for release this month: that of PDAmill Game Studios' Rats!!. See for example THIS PocketGamer.org thread for more info. David, owner of PocketGamer.org, has also been promising a review of the title - make sure you keep an eye on his excellent site!
And yes, another PDAmill Game Studios release: Maggot Attack Pinball. Another cool pinball game, worth a test ride (albeit I haven't personally tested it myself as yet so I can't comment on the feedback at the related PG.org thread).
Speaking of forthcoming pinball games, the well-known developer of one of the best text-based adventure games (Fade), Fade-Team, still has no news on their forthcoming(?) Bump Revenge - except for a year-old screenshot. Unfortunately, the same stands for their other, promised title, Keeperbane. And, as far as still-not-released, highly anticipated titles are concerned, the release date of Bonanza Interactive's Prehistoric: Road to Hollywood has still been pushed back - again.
Larry Bank of HanaHo Games (see his blog HERE) wasn't lazy either. He both released Space Invaders Trilogy (see THIS for the PPC and THIS for the Smartphone version) and, even more importantly, a brand new version, 0.24, of his kick-butt multiplatform emulator SmartGear, which is one of the best desktop / handheld gaming console emulators for both the Pocket PC and the Smartphone. Make sure you check it out - or, wait for my thorough review and comparison to the previous version reviewed in several of my emulation-related articles. It's available HERE for download.
IonFX (developers of some 3D hardware accelerated titles like GeoRallyEX) have announced another 3D acceleration-enabled game, Project Outlands. Related PG thread HERE.
C2Matrix has released Fire Hawk, a vertical scroller shooter. Haven't tested it yet so I don't know how it compares to for example SkyForce Reloaded, currently the BEST top-down scroller (if you don't take into account the emulated CPS-2 titles like 1944 - The Loop Masteror 19XX - The War Against Destiny, that is)
Another 3D gaming news is SkyZone Entertainment porting the well-known multiplatform (PC, XBOX 360 and Mac - the latter by no one else than Aspyr Media!) Prey (which is based on the Doom3 engine) to mobile devices. See the related PG thread HERE.
If you like Tetraedge's adventure titles, make sure you check out their latest title, Secrets of da Vinci.
In case you haven't noticed, I've published several kick-butt mostly game emulation-related articles last month (and will also publish some in the near future!). Many of them have been frontpaged by industry-leader PocketGamer.org and Michu, author of the most widely known Emupage, has also made all (!) these reviews sticky in the AximSite Emulators forum, showing these emulator roundups are of indeed exceptional quality and thoroughness. Make sure you read them if you are into gaming on Windows Mobile!
Hey all,
I just wanted to announce I've released a new app on the Android Market. It's called Game Rankings. The basic idea is it allows you to keep track of wins and losses of various games with your buddies and develop a leaderboard to show how well everyone has been doing. It uses the ELO ranking system made popular by chess tournaments, and it works for any one-v-one or team-v-team game or sport. We've been using an earlier build of this at my work to keep track of our ping-pong games, and it's been working well enough that I decided to release it publicly.
Right now it's completely free and open source. In the future I'll be adding a server-side component to allow users to use the same groups across multiple devices. Unfortunately I'll have to charge for that feature to cover server costs, but off-line groups will remain free. It will just be an in-app purchase to convert an off-line group into an online group.
The current version supports Android 2.1 and above, and is also optimized for tablets and GoogleTV (when v2 goes public). Online groups, when implemented, will require 2.2+ (for C2DM).

I'd love to hear some of your feedback. Either comment here or put an issue on the Google Code page.
Thanks
Greetings all,
Today I released my first app on Google Play Store, and would like to know your opinions especially because I have tested it on only three devices - HTC Desire and One V, and Samsung Galaxy Fit. The game was written as my first app for android a long time ago, with A LOT of documentation online, and I decided tu publish it as a small test for upcoming apps and games.
It's free of ads, and has the sole purpose of learning, so if you install and want to be of assistance, I will be very grateful. Contact me here, or on the developer e-mail (if you do so, please say you are from xda): [email protected]
Be sincere, I know it is a very simple app and the next one that I am working on right now will be far better, but please use an appropriate language.
If you reply here include:

Hello everyone!
We have released pressureNET 2.1 and are excited to hear your feedback. The app is mostly only useful on devices with barometers, such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 10, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy SIII and Xoom, but all Android 3.0+ devices can run it. We've built a worldwide network of atmospheric pressure measurements and have collected more than 8 million so far. We hope to use the data in order to improve short-term, local weather prediction. If you check out our blog below, you can see a teaser of the incredible resolution we have for events like Hurricane Sandy.
The new update brings important bugfixes and a new UI along with the announcement that we're going to be releasing a fantastic tool within a few days that lets you view all of the data on the web.
You can download pressureNET from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.cumulonimbus.barometernetwork
And see the source code for the app at https://github.com/JacobSheehy/pressureNET and for the server https://github.com/JacobSheehy/pressureNETServer
And if you're looking for more details, check out our blog entry at www.cumulonimbus.ca/pressurenet-2-1/
Thanks and have a nice day!
We have just released our first Data Visualization tool for pressureNET. This is also open source (github.com/JacobSheehy/pressureNETAnalysis) and it lets you view the data that we're collecting.
Until now, it was very difficult for our users to know what kind and what quality of data we were gathering. Now you can go to http://pndv.cumulonimbus.ca and view our archive over the last year. The page shows a couple of datepickers and a google map as controls: move the map around, change the dates and watch the graph load. You'll see a plot of all atmospheric pressure measurements we've collected during the timeframe you specified and within the latitude/longitude grid visible on your map selection.
We are working now with atmospheric scientists to make use of this data in the best way we can. Our primary goal is to improve the state of weather prediction for everyone, especially smartphone users .
Enjoy! And if you have feedback, please let me know. We are working every day (especially during the holidays, since this is all done in our free time) to build the best products we can. Thanks again for your time.
Another quick update for the XDA community: We were recently featured in Wired Magazine!

Top Picks: Betting Tips
The app provides the best betting tips and preview predictions for sports. The main focus is on soccer picks but occasionally there are also picks for tennis games, basketball and ice hockey matches.
Our selection of betting picks is based on experts research and analysis of statistics.
We also use a little bit of help from artificial intelligence and machine learning.
However apart from the complicated algorithms and calculations there are many different things that could have big impact on the match and completely change the game scenario. Therefore we take into account other bits and pieces such as:
previous games from historical data
current form and fitness
general motivation to win within the team
missing players and injuries
weather conditions
Key Features of the App
betting tips are provided on a daily basis, depending on the market availability
each pick include date, discipline, theoretical odds and sometimes name of the competition or league
configurable odds format where you can choose from American, Decimal or Fractional odds
automatic push notifications whenever sport picks are available, you can disable it in the settings
monthly statistics where you can check how successful are our predictions by tracking things such as yield, average odds and profit
you can share sport picks with friends via different communication channels
