Taking a virtual Bop down memory lane
PLAY:If you're of a certain age, you'll remember Bop It. The game has now made its way onto the iPhone and iPad, thanks to Electronic Arts, and has opened the game up to a whole new generation of players.
For those who have never played, Bop It works by issuing increasingly faster commands to players. It’s perfectly suited to touch-screen devices, with solo modes and multiplayer options open to players.
Aside from the traditional commands, there’s a few new ones in there too, and the iPod and iPhone version allows you to unlock new objects – or Bopjects, if you feel so inclined.
A trip down memory lane for some, a new addiction for others.

Grid service provides clear picture of online photo collection
SHARE:If you have a Facebook account, chances are that you have a few hundred photographs cluttering up the place. And if you have a Twitter account, you probably upload a few there too.
Grid is a starter project from Vvall, which will gather all your photographs from social networks and organise them by the week they were uploaded. Essentially, it allows you to “rewind” your memories. It also gives you some interesting statistics on how many photos you’ve uploaded in total, and what your average was per day. grid.vvall.com
Android makes right call to solve app issue
BROWSE:Previously, one of the biggest frustrations for Android users was the market interface. If you wanted an app from Android's app store, you had to download it through the handset, unlike rival Apple, which allows you to download it via the PC.
In recent weeks, Google has come up with a clever solution. The new web-based Android market allows you to search for the apps you want and install them directly to your phone, without having to connect it to your PC. If you have more than one Android phone registered to your account, you can choose which one to send it to. Simple stuff. market.android.com
