Samsung Electronics Co. UK Ltd, the UK’s number one TV brand with the most awarded TV range, today announces British retailer, Marks & Spencer (M&S), as the first UK retail partner to create an App for Samsung Smart TVs.
The new App which is available to download from Samsung’s Smart TV App store, Samsung Apps today and developed in collaboration with the multichannel video agency Adjust Your Set, will give viewers access to the latest in high street trends as well as tips on lifestyle, food, fashion and technology all from the comfort of their living room.
Viewers interested in fashion and home trends, advice on selecting the perfect wine, beauty tips or recipes, will be able to switch straight to the M&S Smart TV App on the biggest and brightest screen in the house.
Guy Kinnell, Marketing Director for TV, Samsung UK comments: “The development of the M&S Smart TV App highlights the popularity of Smart TV as the most immersive and interactive format for consumers.
Everything Everywhere today announces the launch of large scale integrated marketing campaigns for the T-Mobile and Orange brands – delivering a bespoke creative platform for each, both of which are set to run for the entire year and will demonstrate the clear differences between the brands and needs of the two customer bases. The initial iterations of these new creative platforms will be launched for both brands simultaneously, as Everything Everywhere aims to gain significant market share of voice throughout February and March.
The T-Mobile campaign will bring together everything that Britain loves, to celebrate something else that Brits love – a real bargain. This could – and will – be anything from space hoppers and cheese rolling, to conga dancing and fake tan – with each iteration set to show different items, personalities, concepts and of course obscurities, all of which will be celebrating all things British.
The first of the ‘What Britain loves’ ads opens on a quaint village. We start with seeing a group of adorable grannies, who are joined by a large marching band. The group quickly swells to include micro-pigs, chanting football supporters and fake tanned Beefeaters – all of whom then hurtle down a hill after a large piece of cheese. The end result is a huge mosh pit of hundreds of eclectic British characters all dancing round a giant cheese structure, celebrating the new ‘The Full Monty’ plan, which offers unlimited internet, texts and ‘shed loads of calls’ all for just £36 per month.

There seems to be quite a bit of chatter around the Xperia S release date following Play.com listing it as January.
The official line is that Sony have only ever communicated the first week of March with all customers and distributors.
Clearly this may well change as these things do but if you are waiting out for what looks to be a great Android device you may have a longer wait than expected.
Nice phone though!

The chaps over at crackberry.com have today posted that it looks like both Facebook and Twitter for BlackBerry will soon become BBM connected apps. The number of connected apps has really grown since BlackBerry 7 was introduced and while I personally may not want all my Twitter and Facebook updates to be posted on my BBM status it will certainly be a nice option to have.
Nice work RIM. Now lets get some beta versions out please!

CoPilot Live, the leading sat-nav app has reported an overall 40% year on year rise in sales of its Android app (Q4 2011 vs Q4 2010). With a record 1.2bn app downloads over Christmas, and Google recently announcing over 250 million Android devices have now been activated – the Android app market is clearly booming, and the growing demand for high-quality Android sat-nav apps comes despite the free navigation solution pre-installed on most devices.
I know have CoPilot Live for Android so expect a review in the coming weeks.
David Quin from CoPilot Live says; “With Google maps, many people thought that there wouldn’t be much of a market for paid for sat-nav apps on Android devices. However, we’re seeing monthly app sales volumes continue to grow, illustrating that Android users are increasingly looking for solutions which offer more than the free software they have already. It also shows a growing willingness for Android users to pay for apps with genuinely useful features, despite a previous focus on free apps.”
