The big, exciting train service that goes TO ANOTHER WORLD has launched an official Android app, which lets users buy Eurostar tickets through their mobiles – and also supports phone-scanning for completely paperless check-ins.
Any booking you’ve made can be retrieved through your phone, which generates a QR code for bemused ticket staff to stare at. Here it is. This is the only time we’re ever likely to see the words “business premier” on a ticket.
Find it on the Android Market here. It’s free and even if you never use it it will give your phone an aura of European sophistication. Link via Pocket-Lint.
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.
