This is the final episode of Mr. Mobile, but you haven't seen the last of host Jay Goldman. Jay revisits episode 1 of Mr. Mobile on Fizz Weather for the iPhone by taking a look at an awesome weather app for the iPad. Weather HD uses your iPad's glorious screen to give you a glimpse of what the day's going to look like.

Jay Goldman takes a look at SportsTap, the ultimate Android app for sports nuts. Just about every competitive sport is covered here: NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL as well as NCAA sports, motor sports, golf, tennis and, of course, football AKA soccer. SportsTap is by far the best way to keep on top of all pro and college sports, including teams that are close to you using LocalTap. If you're looking for

the best Android app to keep on top of the FIFA World Cup

, look no further.

Basecamp is a great way to keep your projects in order. It's like a

virtual project manager

that keeps the team on track with milestones, to-do lists, chats and whiteboards. Jay Goldman takes a look at Insight, the best way to access Basecamp and all your projects, lists and all that good stuff right from the Insight app. You can post, read messages, view files and see the overall progress of your projects.

Two cool apps that extend the functionality of your iPad. One adds the missing camera feature (sort of) and the other turns your iPad into a second monitor (sort of). Both of these apps can be a little buggy, but it's pretty cutting edge stuff and definitely worth a look, if only as a proof of concept.

Android games suck

. No disrespect meant to the hard working devs out there, but it's largely true. Jay Goldman, AKA Mr. Mobile, scoured the Android Market to find

the best Android game

going as a look at what's possible on Google's mobile platform.

If you've ever woken up to a blaring alarm only to feel like you just went to bed five minutes ago, you're not alone. The problem, if Sleep Cycle alarm clock is to be believed, is that you're getting woken up at the wrong time in your sleep cycle, when you're in a deep, restful slumber. Sleep Cycle alarm clock uses your iPhone accelerometer to judge when you're ready to be woken up and as a result, you'll feel better rested. Jay Goldman explains.

You've got a brand spanking new iPhone, iPod or iPod Touch. You've got a less than brand spanking new car though. While many newer cars are offering USB ports or at least an AUX in jack to crank your MP3 player's tunes through your car speakers, it's a fairly recent phenomena. Chances are, you'll need a work-around to get the music from your iPod running through you car stereo. Jay Goldman abides with two simple and elegant solutions from Belkin.

If you're a travelling salesperson or otherwise a road warrior or if you particularly enjoy printing out pages that look like they came out of a circa 2000 fax machine, Jay Goldman has just the device for you. The PrintStik prints from your Windows PC, BlackBerry

Jay Goldman takes a look at the

iPad's software

side. As we heard previously, he's already impressed with the hardware. Time to see if the software measures up. He's impressed with the on-screen keyboard and a lot of the apps he's tried but not so impressed with the fact that there's no

multitasking on the iPad

. For that, we'll have to wait unti the release of

iPhone OS 4.0, coming to the iPad

in the fall.

Jay Goldman offers an

in-depth review of the Sony Ericsson Aino

. This

unlocked GSM phone

includes some smartphone features but lets you sign up for feature phone service prices from your wireless service provider. As you're paying full pop for this little beauty, the initial sticker shock will be eased by the fact that you'll never have to sign a far reaching, long term and severely limiting contract from your mobile carrier.
