Minima Pro is currently discounted to 99c if anyone's interested. Really amazing material design live wallpaper.

Nice find. Thanks.

I just purchased it.

For those using Swiftkey and feeling the Easter cheer, there's a pretty cool chocolate keyboard you can download for free.

Chrome on Android is terrible

The datasaver option works quite well. I get about 50% data compression.

Google has released a handwriting recognition keyboard:

Direct competition to the MyScript Stylus keyboard
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visionobjects.stylusmobile.v3_2_store
and Samsung's Note handwriting keyboard (which is based on the MyScript keyboard).

Wow looks good, English and Afrikaans working fine so far, can read my terrible handwriting.

it's Eskom and here's the link

I haven't installed doesn't appear to be much different to Grid Watch, what someone needs to do is get the schedules map based to Google maps, it would really help being able to look at a map and see if you're going into a suburb that is being shed or is about to go dark, would have helped me last night with movies. Got to my local movie house last night to find that they were in load shedding, went just across the road to a different complex that still had power and within 20 minutes of the movie starting they also go shed.

It's a bit inaccurate though. Last night it said "Stage 3" and a link to click on "Source". When you click on source, it showed stage 2.

I think it's an updating bug, also noticed that, as soon as you move it to the home screen it updates to the current status

If you are in CT then Eskom and the City were on different stages, caused some confusion

Can anyone recommend an app, to turn an Android tablet into a "handsfree kit"? I want to replace the radio in my wife's car with tablet (for navigation, music, etc) but she'll miss the bluetooth handsfree too much.
