One in ten British kids own a mobile phone by the age of five

The age gap in mobile ownership and spend in Blighty is shrinking.

More than a million British children get their first mobile phone by the time they are just five years old, uSwitch research reveals.
According to the study, the typical British child gets their first handset by the age of 12, costing just £125 on average, which is a little more than half of what parents spend on their own mobile devices.
Young ‘uns also spend about £11 per month on mobile bills, compared to £19 by their parents. However, more than one in ten (11%) children end up with bigger outlays than their old folks.
In something of a shocking revelation, 42 per cent of mums and dads admit they seldom check how much their children are spending on mobile phones, with just a quarter of parents bothering to place caps on their kids’ contacts.

Live news Android Ice Cream Sandwich rollout is go for HTC Evo 3D

Android Ice Cream Sandwich rollout is go for HTC Evo 3D

Unlocked phones only, though.

HTC has begun rolling out Android 4.0, A.K.A Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for the HTC Evo 3D, giving the year-old smartphone a fresh lease of life.
The phone-manufacturer is making the update, which brings some smart new features to the handset, available initially to owners in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

As it stands, however, ICS is only up for grabs if you've got an unlocked Evo 3D. Owners of network-branded models will have to wait until it passes through testing with individual carriers. And as experience tells us, that could take months.
Features it adds to the handset aren’t yet confirmed. But potential additions take in the rather specious Face Unlock security feature that uses the front-facing camera to scan would-be users’ faces and will only become unlocked for the owner. Or at least, that's the theory.
Also likely to make the transition to the Evo 3D are a range of user interface tweaks and enhanced multi-tasking.


so enjoy and use now Android Ice Cream Sandwich rollout is go for HTC Evo 3D, on your Mobile Phones news.

HTC One red colourway announced, pre-order live on Phones 4U

Flagship phone gets busy with the blusher.

HTC has deviated from tried and trusted gun-metal grey and black colour options it favours for its flagship phones, with a ‘glamour red’ (their words, not ours) edition of the One.
Available to pre-order now at Phones 4U, which has exclusive rights to sell the red version in the UK, the re-sprayed handset goes on sale officially in mid July. The One will be free from £33 per month on monthly contracts.

HTC's handset is unchanged from the more sober hued models in the design department. And given the acclaim heaped on its unibody aluminium construction, it’s not hard to see why.
And the features are the same too. That means you’ve got the same UltraPixel camera, a 4.7-inch full HD display and a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor.
The One runs Android 4.2 out of the box, with a revamped version of the HTC Sense user interface slathered over the top that apes the more ‘alive’ feel of Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system.
Philip Blair, President of EMEA at HTC, said: “We have always been committed to offering consumers the flexibility to share their personalities through their choice of mobile phone, whether through colour, customisation or features.

HTC Desire 200 gets official

Desire brand gets a reboot

HTC has turned to a handset brand synonymous with its glory days of 2011 to revive its flagging fortunes, in the shape of a new low-cost addition to the Desire range.
Dubbed the Desire 200, the as-yet un-priced kit packs a 3.5-inch display with 480x320 resolution, as well as a five-megapixel camera. Perhaps surprisingly for a phone so obviously pitched at the low-end market, Beats by Dre audio technology is on board too.

Other than that, spec-sheet details are scanty. But the product listing on HTC's site does tell us that it’ll be 3G-only and packs a 1GHz processor courtesy of Qualcomm and 4GB of internal storage. This can be boosted by up to 32GB adding a microSD card.

BlackBerry PlayBook denied BlackBerry 10 upgrade

PlayBook even less fun than before.

BlackBerry’s CEO Thorsten Heins has confirmed that the company’s PlayBook tablet will not be getting an update to the mobile-maker’s critically lauded BlackBerry 10 software.
The news came in an investors’ conference call earlier today. Heins had said at a major event in January that the slate, which has been a commercial flop, would eventually get BlackBerry 10.
However, he has now admitted the engineers at BlackBerry couldn’t get its sleek new OS to work satisfactorily on the PlayBook.
