UK mobile operator Three – best known for offering unlimited data to its customers – is introducing new tariffs  for customers signing up to the network that will see the amount of data they can use while tethering limited to 2GB, even if the agreement includes ‘unlimited’ data consumption via a smartphone. The move is unlikely to win Three any fans – it was the only network to continue offering unlimited data tariffs when it switched on its 4G LTE service at the end of last year, even for customers who wanted to use that superfast connectivity to tether to…

Way back in July last year, we brought you news on Dollarbird, an awesome app for tracking your income and expenses courtesy of Halcyon Mobile. Though it has partnered with agencies, brands and startups since 2005 to produce apps, Dollarbird represented Halcyon’s first self-branded product. At the time, Dollarbird was an iOS-only affair, though the creators did state that if the reception was positive, they’d be looking to bring it to Android too. Well, it seems that the reception must’ve been positive, because Dollarbird for Android is available to download today, alongside a new Pro accounts feature that’s arriving for…

British broadcaster BSkyb has announced that its customers with HD boxes will start seeing a new electronic programme guide (EPG) that puts less of a focus on live TV from today. Rather than following the traditional route of telling you what’s being broadcast at any given time, the EPG will now include a range of on-demand content (whether that’s catch-up TV, box sets, or movies) as well as live TV. There’s also quick access to the Sky Store from the homepage too. The company noted that the Sky+ app is also being updated to stay consistent with the changes to…

Owegoo is a new travel service from a Swedish startup of the same name. However, unlike most travel booking sites, Owegoo puts what you want to do ahead of where you want to go. So, say for example you have a week (or just a few days) off work and want to book a vacation, but you don’t really care where you go, it just has to be somewhere you can go diving, and perhaps take in a little surfing if you’re feeling ambitious.
