Best free movie watching apps on Android

With phones and tablets packing lots of storage space, carrying several around movies on the go has become normal. I travel by train each day and see many people checking out TV shows and movies, myself included. With movies being available in many formats it can happen that a phone or tablet won’t play specific formats out of the box. This doesn’t mean you will have to start converting your video files though as there is a big choice of video player apps available. I decided to look at my personal favorites and best of all: They are all free. Continue reading →

Smartphone that are the best for watching movies

Phones have developed quickly over the years. I still remember my first phone with an LCD display where about the only customisation you could do is type a long string of characters to change a ringtone. Storage was only used for your contacts and text messages and the only games you’d have would be those which were installed on it. As the years progressed screens got better, storage increased and the phone turned into something which could do everything your mp3 player, photo camera and computer could. The mobile phone has become something almost everyone carries with them and they can provide you with lots of entertainment in various forms.

My Techviews: Do you really need a new phone?

It has been ages since I started a new blog series, but for the last couple of weeks an idea for a new series has been brewing: My Techviews.

As you can guess from the title it is not going to be about movies (although there surely will be some tech/movie related posts), but it is a new series where I will be sharing my thoughts about tech related things. This might sometimes be some new tech I think is awesome, but it could also be about my frustrations with them. I hope you will enjoy reading this new series as much as I like writing it.

Mobile Phones


The first subject? Mobile phones. Around 80 percent of people (5.9 billion) own a mobile phone and that number is quickly growing. I have had one since 1999 and in those 14 years I have probably owned about 6 or 7 different models, so roughly a new one every 2 years. The reason for upgrading was easy for a while, since you would get one for “free” when renewing your contract and phones were quickly changing, being able to perform more fuctions. A couple of years ago I started looking at the costs and realised it would be cheaper to buy the phone myself and just get a “sim only” subscription, which is a lot cheaper. After this, the only time to upgrade my phone would usually be when it didn’t work properly anymore, but looking around me I feel like I am one of the few people doing it that. Continue reading →
