Loyalty card aggregator Stocard now live for UK users
Apparently, so they tell us, Stocard has been doing rather well for itself in some European countries, where it allows users to scan in their loyalty cards and vouchers, then present their mobiles at the till when it’s time to claim points or money off vouchers or whatever the particular promotion may be. There’s an [...]
Samsung Galaxy S II IS update now live for Vodafone users
Hooray. After being embarrassingly beaten by both Three and even O2 at getting Samsung’s “Ice Cream Sandwich” update out in the UK, Vodafone has now launched its Android 4.0 OS upgrade for owners who bought Samsung’s Galaxy S II Android phone through the network. Vodafone’s handling its updates a little differently from the rest of [...]
Huawei Ascend G 300 now available through Vodafone online
Vodafone’s web shop is now accepting orders for the Huawei Ascend G 300, the rather exciting new budget Android phone from the Chinese company. With a 4″ capacitive display and a 1GHz processor inside, the G 300 should, on paper, be the most impressive budget Android phone we’ve yet seen, especially as Vodafone’s selling it [...]
Sky Cloud Wifi app ready for Android users
Sky’s published a new Android app today, designed to help its users keep track of and connect to any accessible wi-fi hotspots out there.

ASDA launches Android shopping app
Supermarket giant ASDA has launched a comprehensive shopping app for Android, which matches the Android delivery option currently offered by Tesco. You can book your ASDA delivery slots, search for items, scan in bar codes of stuff you’re running low on and even amend orders once they’ve been placed, all through the ASDA Android app. [...]
White Motorola MOTOLUXE hits Tesco
Motorola and potato/sausage retailer Tesco have done a deal, which sees a limited edition white version of the mid-spec MOTOLUXE go on sale exclusively through Tesco shops and via the supermarket’s online phone store. Rather annoyingly it’s showing up as being “out of stock” on the Tesco phone site at the moment, which is a [...]
Vodafone Galaxy S II update now tomorrow/next week
After being a bit silly and putting an April 12th date on the arrival of the Android 4.0 update for its Galaxy S II, Vodafone has now had to delay it – until tomorrow. That’s another 24 hours of HELLISH SUFFERING for users who bought their Samsung phones through the network. Here’s Vodafone’s excuse and [...]
Google Currents now available in the UK
The Google Currents app, which is a sort of aggregating service for magazine and newspaper content, is now available internationally. For UK users, you’ll get free sample content from the likes of the Guardian, Independent and The Sun, wrapped up in a very slick interface that’s part Android 4.0 and part glossy Sunday newspaper supplement. [...]

HTC One S review
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).

Panasonic Eluga review
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case. The Eluga’s powered by a 1GHz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor, which is running a 4.3″ OLED [...]

HTC One V review
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but it still arrives running the same HTC Sense 4 interface we saw in the excellent [...]

HTC One X review
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well. -

Sony Xperia S review
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession? -

LG Prada 3.0 review
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting? -

ACCESSORY REVIEW: Case-Mate Barely There for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate. Although this particular product retails for around the same price as FlexiShield’s TPU option, it’s quite a different proposition. Review submitted by extremely patient retro gaming advisor Damo. As the name suggests, [...]
