  iPhone rumours continue to rumble on with the current clouds of tea leaves apparently signifying that iPhone nano is off the agenda, to be replaced by iPhone Senior and iPhone Junior. Which in turn ha...

The other big iPhone news has been the march towards 1 billion App Store downloads; something Apple heralded by releasing lists of the to-date top 20 paid and free apps.

All that activity could have reaching for your relaxation salts, or why not try iPhone’s Yoga Stretch application?

Of course, the competition has also been busy, although Nokia’s Q1 financial figures suggested it isn’t quite as busy as it’s been in the past. ‘Only’ 93.2 million handsets sold between January and March dotchyaknow. It’s still the biggest phone maker in the world.

The Nokia 5800 has been selling well however, and there are rumours it’s going to be getting a new higher quality capacitive screen.

As for Nokia’s software developers, they’re still coming up with new inventions such as the mobile, location-aware social networking app Friend View, and adhoc social mashup service Easy Meet. There’s also a new version of the Opera Mobile browser coming to Series 60 phones.

When it comes to Android, the big recent news has been the unveiling of the 1.5 version of the SDK (aka Cupcake), which when finally released will support video recording and YouTube uploading, software keyboards, stereo Bluetooth, better UI, smooth browsing and faster GPS location amongst other features.

Google also released improved mobile Gmail performance, although this was in-browser rather than supported within the Gmail Android app. Similarly, we were unsure about the thirdparty fBook app, finding it didn’t provide (m)any improvements compared to accessing the social network site through its official Facebook mobile version using your phone’s browser.

We do however like Shazam’s Android app, although the news BlackBerry users who want the full experience will have to pay a one-off fee was £5 seemed to confirm the view that the pricing model on the BB App World has yet to enter the real world.
