Pandora 5.0 brings the tablet UI we've all been waiting for, Chromecast support hinted
Oct 30th 2013, 13:10, by Quentyn Kennemer

pandora chromecast tablets

We’ve been getting a little tired of getting our internet radio on our Android tablets through an app that looked like it belonged on an Android tablet. Sure, the tunes still sound just as good, and we suppose you’re not really looking at the app too much when you’re listening, but it was still a bit hard to look at. Thankfully, today’s update changes that for good.

The app keeps all of the same functionality you’re used to, such as support for lyrics, the ability to rate music, the ability to view your profile information and more, except it does it all in a much more spacious viewing area. There’s one interesting change seen in the Google Play screenshots that aren’t in the current app, though — the app has a Chromecast icon at the upper right.

Google officially announced Pandora as an early Chromecast partner when the HDMI-based media streaming dongle was first announced, but we have yet to see the fruits of that little partnership. The latest rumors suggested we were “days away” from seeing Chromecast support in Pandora, so it sounds like things are right on schedule. For now, just enjoy the new tablet experience, and keep your fingers crossed that it won’t take as long to bring Chromecast support as it’s taking Google to launch the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat.

Vodafone UK extends '4G bonus' to end of January
Oct 30th 2013, 12:34, by Alex Dobie

Vodafone

Vodafone has announced that it's extending its "4G bonus" program through until the end of January. The promotion, which was originally due to expire at the end of October, gives Vodafone Red 4G subscribers 4GB of bonus data for the life of their contracts. What's more, SIM-only customers and 12/24-month customers on contracts that include a bundled 4G phone will get three months of unlimited data for three months, then double the standard data allowance plus 4GB for the life of the contract. That's a lot of data.

With the extension of this Vodafone deal and new price plans launching from EE today, we're starting to see the UK LTE marketplace becoming a bit more competitive. That trends looks set to continue into December, when Three UK launches its LTE network along with unlimited data and a promise not to charge extra for the service.

Is this a picture of the Nexus 5 fresh out of the box?
Oct 30th 2013, 12:21, by Quentyn Kennemer

While we’re still waiting for Google to officially unveil the Nexus 5 (as well as Android 4.4 KitKat), one lucky soul over at Overclockers seems to have gotten their hands on the device. User Nickyyy claimed to have received stock of the device, potentially for a shop he or she works at. When asked to tell more, they simply responded with the photo you see below.

nexus 5 leak

It appears to be a Nexus 5 in the flesh, with the device looking to be going through the boot process. Off to the left of it is a box that looks Google-y enough to make this leak believable. There isn’t much else that can be learned from such a simple photo, but the leakster mentioned we should be seeing it in “the next few days.”

They wouldn’t say much more than that, unfortunately, but we have more than enough information about the device itself. We should be getting a 5-inch full HD display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi ac and NFC.

As you can see we know nearly everything there is to know about this device, except one thing — when, where, and how much. Get on it, Google!

Google Maps gesture controls: ''Look ma! One-hand!''
Oct 30th 2013, 11:47, by Kris Carlon

There's no underestimating the usefulness of Google Maps across all platforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone and don't forget the web. Google's mapping service has helped us all at least once out of a bad situation. There are some gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom that are well known, but others, including the ability to use the application one-handed, are less well known. Here's the full list of Google Maps gesture controls.

EE extends 'Cash on Tap' payments service to four new devices
Oct 30th 2013, 11:58, by Alex Dobie

Cash on Tap

Galaxy Note 2, Note 3, S4 Mini and Sony Xperia Z1 get support for NFC payments app

British mobile operator EE has announced that it's extended availability of its "Cash on Tap" NFC-based payment system to four new Android smartphones: the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3 and S4 Mini, and the Sony Xperia Z1. The Mastercard-backed scheme allows users to pay for purchases up to £20 in value over NFC at some 230,000 outlets across the UK. EE notes in today's press release that it's currently supported by big-name cafe and takeaway brands, such as McDonald’s, Caffè Nero, Pret A Manger and Greggs.

The new devices join the Sony Xperia SP and Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4, which were already enabled for Cash on Tap. To use the service, subscribers will need to have an EE-branded version of one of these devices; unlocked versions aren't supported. What's more, you'll need to have an NFC-enabled EE SIM to get started.

Cash on Tap support for more handsets are due to be announced in the coming months, EE says.
