All About Android 203: Wow What a Huawei Watch

This week, while in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, I was a guest on All About Android to talk about what is happening in the world of Android.

Thanks to Jason and Ron for having me on the show and to my colleagues who facilitated my participation from the apartment in Barcelona.

Did you find our Huawei Watch meltdown funny? You weren't alone: the good people at TWiT.tv made a TWiT Bit out of it.

You can vote for my app in the Arena (Cat Simulator) until Tuesday March 10th here too.

Mobile World Congress 2015: Mockodile Heaven!

As many of the readers of this blog know, I am a fan of fake crocodile on my devices. Whether it is a red mockodile with white finish on my Samsung S5 or an external case on my Nexus devices, the plastic hide is a favourite of mine.

Today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona I came across a thing of beauty. Something that transcends the soul of a spirit mockodile: a device with uncanny resemblance to Vertu devices made out of brown mockodile.

The device in question is the Doogee Titans2 DG700. If you aren't sold on looks and feel alone, you should be. What are the specs? Irrelevant question in my opinion, but here they are anyway:

• 4.5" qHD 540x960 IPS display
• MT6582 quad core processor
• Dual Standby microSIM
• Android 5.0 (where 5.0 is handwritten in crayon)
• 8GB storage / 1GB RAM (expandable with MicroSD)
• 8.0 MP back / 5.0 MP front cameras
• Mahoosive 4000 mAh battery

Sadly the lovely rep for Doogee, Vivian, could not sell me the demo device which didn't turn on and I'll have to order one online. 

The mockodile jamboree didn't stop there. I came across the stand of Italian accessory makers Celly, who had a mockodile pyramid display.

The future is bright, the future is mockodile.

What's in your bag Matteo Doni?

From tomorrow, I will be attending Mobile World Congress in Barcelona for Skyscanner.

As most tech websites with people attending events, I thought I might as well show off the gadgetry I will be taking with me in the image below.

Tesco's version of camouflage Crocs and a selfie stick.

If you hadn't already got the reference, this is a homage to Matthew Inman (aka The Oatmeal) and his selfie stick shopper guide.

On Tuesday night (Wednesday morning for me) I will also be a guest on All About Android talking about a device I have been reviewing and what's happening at MWC.

Will you be at MWC 2015 and want to meet up to talk mobile tech? Feel free to leave a comment below and we'll see if we can meet up amid the madness.
