Tesco: NFC is “Past Its Sell-By Date”

Bad news for those who'd like to see NFC phone payments like Google Wallet actually take off in the UK. The Tesco retail juggernaut has basically said it's a load of crap, and that it's already out of date. It's just not "cool" enough, apparently. Read More >>

Parliament Gives Google Another Tax-Related Rodgering

Google's suffering a bit of an 'out of the frying pan into the politician's lap' moment. Having recently been accused of being tax cheats, Google's now apparently a liar as well. Awkward. Apparently, one of the cornerstones in Google's tax argument was that it doesn't have any salespeople in the UK, something job advertisements seem to disagree with. [Reuters] Read More >>

Carphone Warehouse Adds the Whole of Best Buy Europe to Its Empire

Having set up a joint venture with Best Buy in Europe, the American retailer has recoiled back into the US, selling its half to Carphone Warehouse. Considering Best Buy didn't exactly do that well in the UK, I'm not sure it's that great a purchase, but who knows. We might get more Best Buy stores opening here again. [FT] Read More >>

Nokia’s Attempt to Block HTC One Sales Has Failed, For Now

Nokia's spat with HTC over microphones thankfully won't affect sales of the awesome One for the time being. HTC's apparently free to use the HDR microphones it bought from STM electronics and to continue to sell HTC Ones with them already in until further notice, which is good, because HTC really needs the One to do well.

The Only Thing Apple Really Sells

A recent Wall Street Journal article posits an interesting question: Is Apple a hardware company or a software company? Does it sell iPhones or iClouds? The answer has deep implications for how analysts evaluate the company's worth.

The HTC One Could End Up Getting Banned From Europe By Nokia

It's managed to get a preliminary injunction against HTC, which could see it barred from sale in Europe. Read More >>

Only 318,000 Brits Are Using 4G in the UK Right Now

For the first time since launch, EE's busted out some real subscriber numbers, and it seems not that many Britons have actually jumped on the 4G bandwagon yet. Only 318,000-odd people have plunked for one of EE's high-priced 4G tariffs, which in comparison to EE's total subscriber base of 13.7 million is still a drop in the ocean. Mind you, that is after only five months. Read More >>
