It’s a big worry, running out of credit when you need it most. But now Vodafone UK pay as you go customers can stay in touch, even when out of credit, with Vodafone Buzz Back. Buzz Back lets customers send a free text message to friends and family on any network asking to be called back. It’s simple to use. Customers text the number of the person they want to call them to 30303 and a text message will be sent, as if from them, asking for a call back. There is no charge to send or receive the messages, and no pre-registration required.
We’ll let the customer know that their message has been sent and the service can be used twice a day. Customers don’t have to be out of credit to use the service – meaning they can save their top up for other things.

With the demand for sat nav apps on tablets growing, and the new iPad hitting the shops tomorrow, 16th March 2012, CoPilot Live, the leading sat nav app is celebrating with special offers on its iPad and iPhone apps:
· CoPilot Live Premium HD for iPad and iPhone will be £39.99 instead of £47.99
· CoPilot Live Premium UK + Ireland for iPhone will be £19.99 instead of £24.99
The promotion will run from 9am on Friday 16th March 2012 to midnight on Monday 19th March 2012.
David Quin from CoPilot Live says: “With their larger screens, tablets offer a practical and clear platform for navigation, and we are seeing the demand for high-quality navigation apps on such devices continuing to rise. The new iPad is surely set to continue this trend, with its amazing high-res ‘retina’ screen allowing for incredibly sharp HD map displays and even clearer directions.”
Whilst I work away at my review of the new Archos 101 G9 it seems they have preparing a new line of tablets to succeed the G9 range already. The Archos G10 xs series. Showing off a concept demo featuring a keyboard dock, magnetic screen protector with a mouse pad it seems the device(s) will run on something like an OMAP4470 1.8Ghz Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 with SGX544 graphics or even the OMAP5430 which can also run upwards 1.8Ghz or more. Before all specs are announced Archos have already targeted this device at the £250(ish) pricing point.
In addition to their Arnova, budget, range Archos Elements brings Google Certified tablets at as low as £100. A reliable source believes Archos Elements will bring the Rockchip RK30 Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 performance and higher capacitive screen resolutions than Arnova at extremely competitive pricing.
