The 2010 World Cup<\/strong> is just days away, meaning now is the time to arm yourself with as much soccer-related paraphernalia as you can get your hands on. I’m already tooled up with sticker albums, replica shirts, and air horns but being a bit of a techie I thought I’d deck my Android phone<\/strong> out with World Cup gadgets too.<\/p>\n

Although the Android platform doesn’t have quite as many World Cup apps as the iPhone<\/a> or Facebook<\/a>, there’s plenty of football fun to be downloaded from the Market. Here are some of my favorites:<\/p>\n

Simply shake your phone or tap the screen to bring the noise.<\/p>\n
