Android Market Down

Around 11:20PM CST I noticed that the Android market place was not working. I restarted my phone & it still didnt work. I contact about 20 or so other people who had a Android OS phone & they were having the same problems. I then sent out a tweet aksing others. It seems as though Other across the globe is having the same problem.

Definitely not a device issue, with all devices affected and displaying server errors, it has been down for at least an hr now . Users on twitter are speculating (hilariously) either terrorism or elite hackers. It's probably safe to say it's a bit more innocuous than that.

It has also been noted that some cannot watch youtube phone either.

What are you thoughts?

I have contacted android & google on this problem. Still waiting for a word back on it.

Android Facebook app gets upgraded

f you have been using Android for some time now, im sure you are quite familiar with the official Facebook application - which actually isn't that great.

The new app. being dubed version 1.3 is alot better then the previous old sluggish app that never worked
You can now respond to friend requests within the application - without the need of going to the mobile website. Another addition is the "picture timeline" feature which you will find at the bottom of the screen. It displays photos from your friends and updates it automatically as soon as new feeds arrive.
Check out the fb app. review video below & go upgrade yours
