Find out the true definition of AC Slatering with Das Krapital racy reference book The Viz Profanisaurus - the legendary rude slang dictionary - has transcended to a new medium with its first iPhone app.
The swearing bible, edited by the publication's fictional Roger Mellie "The Man on the Telly" character, features over 12,000 dirty definitions from "Ale Force Winds" to "Zipper Zeppelin" and comes to your iPhone or iPod touch for £1.49.
"Cross-linked entries enable you to finally make sense of what a sleeping fruit bat is and why you'd never want to mention knuckle glitter in polite company," says that app's brazen description on the App Store.
Naturally, the app allows you to share the sniggers with your Facebook and Twitter followers, while singling out your top definitions in the favourites section.
The arrival of the uncensored app is a curious one considering Apple's previous record with close-to-the-mark apps, baring sexual content, which Roger's profanisaurus.

| Telephone is the greatest ever gadget, says T3 readers Posted: 06 Sep 2011 08:14 AM PDT
T3 readers beg to differ with Stephen Fry's list of greatest ever gadgets... Last week we asked for your feedback on Stephen Fry’s somewhat controversial list of the most important, best and greatest gadgets ever. Fry positioned the humble cigarette lighter as his number one gadget.
The results were tight between it and the TV in second place, but the telephone scooped your favour by 3 per cent, with 24 per cent of the votes. Below the TV was, surprisingly, the Apple iPad, followed by the wristwatch, the lighter, the laptop, the ball point pen, the Apple iPod and the Typewriter.

Channel Five leading the way, but Welsh network S4C could also be in with a shout. Channel Five looks set to go HD next year, with Ofcom announcing plans to bolster Freeview’s hi-def offering with a fifth channel. Ofcom has begun a bidding process, with final applications due by 17 October.
Five would be the obvious choice, with the BBC’s two HD channels and ITV and Channel 4 taking up the four current slots. However, because of Five’s minimal amount of original programming, Welsh channel S4C is expected to mount a strong challenge.
Word is that whoever gets the new channel will be able to launch it on 1 April 2012. That’s just over 15 years since Five was first aired.
The question is, would you be keen to watch Big Brother and the travails of England’s also-rans in the Europa League? Tell us now over on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Featuring the same 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display that have made the original, black, Samsung Galaxy S II the UK’s most popular handset outselling Apple’s formerly dominant iPhone 4, the latest edition of the Android 2.3 handset differs only in its white coating.
Available to snap up from Vodafone now the Samsung Galaxy S II White is free of a £36 per month 24 month contract with 900 monthly minutes, unlimited texts and a 750MB monthly data allowance included.

| Motorola Xoom slips to £329 Posted: 06 Sep 2011 01:00 AM PDT
32GB Wi-Fi Motorola Xoom now just £329, as slate struggles to sell. The Motorola Xoom has just had another major price cut, this time being slashed to just £329 by Dixons. The 32GB Wi-Fi-only model is now significantly cheaper than the entry-level iPad.
On top of that, the 3G model now only costs £399, making it £100 cheaper than the 16GB 3G iPad. That’s sorely tempting, even if the 10.1-inch slate has been superseded since its release earlier this year.
The Xoom got off to a sluggish start, shifting just 100,000 in its first two months. But with the HP TouchPad’s bargain bucket success in recent weeks, it seems Moto is keen to cash in, perhaps ahead of a second bite at the tablet cherry. The Xoom 2 has already been leaked extensively and is expected before the year is out.
Tempted? Or are you holding out for an even bigger reduction? Let us known now over on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

| iPhone 5 reservations kick off Posted: 05 Sep 2011 11:43 PM PDT
First come, first served tickets for iPhone 5 being handed out by Deutsche Telekom. Deutsche Telekom has become the first network to offer punters the chance to reserve an iPhone 5, even though the next-gen Apple handset hasn’t been made official. The network has confirmed the plans, which were leaked by a German iPhone blog last week.
German phone lovers who want an iPhone 5 will be able to pick up a reservation coupon from Deutsche Telekom stores as of today. A spokesman for the network said it would not hand over details of the new device or its release date.
The German carrier says it’s making the move to stop any bottlenecks when the phone does get released, with a mad rush for the long overdue mobile expected. The iPhone 5 is said to pack an 8 megapixel camera, larger screen and speedier A5 chipset.

| HTC Flyer Android Honeycomb update: first screen shots Posted: 05 Sep 2011 11:30 PM PDT
HTC Flyer owners look lively: Android Honeycomb is finally heading to your tablet. The HTC Flyer, the Taiwanese mobile maker’s first foray into tablets, is finally set to get an Android Honeycomb update. The new software has been leaked online, with new screenshots showing just how the beefed up OS looks on the 7-inch slate.
Punters can now use the Flyer’s unique stylus on the entire device, instead of dedicated apps, while HTC Sense has been given a tablet makeover. It seems HTC is keen to ensure that its custom skin works with Honeycomb, despite suggestions from Google that the vanilla version of the OS is just fine.
Owners can get hold of the ROM for the new update now, although that comes with all the attendant risks of installing unreleased software. If you’re unsure, best wait until HTC begins the official roll out.
Can’t wait to get Honeycomb on your HTC Flyer? Or already priming yourself for the next-gen HTC Puccini tablet? Tell us now on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
