Android Market packed full with new features

The Android Market now features a web store, where you will be able to freely browse the wondrous collection of free and paid apps.

Should you decide that a particular app is worthy of your hard-earned - go ahead and purchase, and the app will be remotely installed to your phone/tablet over the air (OTA).

Perhaps, however you want to try out the free version first. But "Oh what a pain" you cry, realising you will have to then un-install the free and download the full. No more! Google has freed you of such hindering tasks; the in-app purchases SDK was released today, allowing developers to include support for buying full versions, or add-in packs from within the app itself.

No more themes littered throughout the Market!

O2 launching nation-wide WiFi hotspot

Not so much a 'hotspot', as a blanket of general heat, O2 is intending to provide a technology and service to "enable a seamless customer experience", which will "at least double the number of premium hotspots currently offered by BT Openzone and The Cloud combined by 2013".


Bold claims, and to make such a service "free to customers" too, just why are they doing it?


Well, they worded it well, the service may be free "to customers", but you can rest assured they will be getting their pay cheques from the ad companies. The other benefit will be ease on existing 3G, and future 4G networks.
