There’s another rugby world cup about to happen, and with it taking place in New Zealand some of the matches occur at very unsociable time of night for us over here. Which is why O2 has created O2 Wake Up, which, er, uses the voices of rugby stars to wake you up in time for matches.
Here’s a snippet from O2′s explanation:
With this autumn’s matches in New Zealand kicking off early in the morning, we’ll make sure you’re up in time for England’s games. You choose the matches you’d like to wake up for, and how long before kick off you’d like to do it. You can also choose which member of the England squad you’d like to be woken up by: Martin Johnson, Lewis Moody, Ben Foden, Chris Ashton or Nick Easter.
I think waking up to the sound of Martin Johnson’s voice is actually the last thing I would ever want to happen. Here’s the app.
Come on England, etc etc. Be as good as the cricket. Thanks to reader Matt for the tip.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
