aiMinesweeper is a mobile version of one of the best single-player logical games ever made. The basic gameplay style became a popular but minor part of the puzzle game genre during the 1980s, with such titles as Mined-Out and Yomp. Cube was further succeeded by Relentless Logic, by Conway, Hong, and Smith, which was available for MS-DOS as early as 1985. The game is still very popular among players of different age and social origin. The proof is the fact that it is still included in the latest version of Microsoft Windows.

Our application is classic, “old school” version of that game. All we add to it is our love, style and time Please enjoy of it.

TooDo has many features regarding the handling of the todos and their categories. Most are details, but this makes all the difference with a traditional daily task manager.

TooDo handles a very simple task, i.e. managing todos, but it does that in a smart way, with ergonomics considerations in mind. Here a list of features that TooDo supports.

• Geographically-based reminder notifications by tracking down the Android device location in real time
  Contextually-based reminder notifications when the end-user switches his current context and that a todo matches with that context
• Emission and reception of todos with a complete workflow to one or multiple recipients, via SMS. GTalk is not supported any more
• Two-way synchronization of TooDo todos and categories with the tasks and lists of the “Remember the Milk” service
• Two-way synchronization of TooDo todos and categories with the tasks and folders of the “Toodledo” service
• Supports quick notes: textual, audio, video
• Creation/edition of todos through a rich user interface
• Classification of todos through categories, which propose default behaviours to todos
• Filtering and search of todos
• Various reminder notifications through sound, vibration, led. All notifications can be suspended for a while
• Fully internationalizable (this is not possible for the moment in Android, but all texts are not “hard-coded”)
• Extensible for synchronization to any task manager web service (provided its makes and API available)
• and TooDo is totally free of use.

twitli is a Twitter client for Android smartphones. twitli is aimed at providing a maximum number of features while keeping the user interface easy to use. The number of buttons is limited: rather than putting “follow” and “direct message” buttons on the screen, twitli gives acess to these features by clicking a user name. After clicking a user name you can

• send an @reply
• send a DM
• view that users messages
• view their website
• view their profile
• see their full name
• stop following them

Other features:

• make a picture, upload to Flickr, tweet the picture
• follow users with one click
• show your timeline
• show @replies you received
• show DMs
• switch on automatic refresh
• select number of tweets on your screen

Via the android menu, there is a function “follow” that shows all user names that currently appear in the timeline shown. By clicking a name, you follow that person. This makes it extremely easy to follow people. Following people is what makes Twitter interesting.

The screen of a smartphone is small. That’s why you want to use the space efficiently. twitli shows pictures in landscape view, but doesn’t in portrait view. Showing pictures takes space, so in portrait view you see more tweets on your screen.
