Emporia RL1: a straightforward phone for today’s world

Emporia and Vodafone have just announced the release of a stylish-looking feature phone that’s meant to be the “most straightforward mobile phone in the world” – which is possible, considering how incredibly complex most devices are nowadays. The RL1 lets you text, make calls, store numbers, set alarms, birthday reminders, and solve your mathematical problems with a calculator. Other than that it does nothing else; which somehow reminds me of the Bluchip BC5i except that the BC5i doesn’t pretend to market itself as a cool, simple phone – it gets straight to the point.

While the RL1 is a pretty decent feature phone with a talk time of 3 hours, the worst part about it is its price tag. The phone costs $99 (£60) on Vodafone’s monthly pay as you go plan.

Wall Street Journal App for Android

The Wall Street Journal really needs no introduction. The largest newspaper in the United States by circulation has been around in print since 1889 and now, almost 122 years later – it’s finally made its way to the Android smartphone.

The Journal has made the transition to the small screen for folks who want news on the go. Sure, the WSJ website has always been around, but the dedicated app takes things to the next level. The app provides news, views, analysis, and real-time quotes straight to your Android-powered smartphone. It also has the ability to save news for later reading, and a multimedia section for browsing photos, podcasts, and watching videos.

While the app is free, it unfortunately needs an additional mobile subscription on top of your current online subscription. Something a lot of folks won’t be pleased about. However, costs aside, it’s been getting some great reviews on the Android Market.
