Last week we ran a short competition for a bit of fun to win the following:
The competition closed on Friday. Thanks to all of you who entered, but the lucky winner was Marc Crane of Norfolk thanks to his rather amusing reason as to why he should own the above.
Because I can play with the giant phone cardboard cut out and pretend I’m a midget! It’s almost as fun as buying a multi-pack of crisp and emptying all the packs into the outer bag then eating them and pretending you’re a Borrower!
A play on a Bill Bailey sketch but we still laughed!
We got in touch with Marc (who was possibly a little over excited at the thought of a cardboard cut out) and he has been sent his goodies.
He kindly sent us a picture of himself with the prize!
We will be running more competitions in the near future so be sure to keep checking http://blog.clove.co.uk

Want to prevent WaveSecure from being uninstalled on your Android phone? Now you can with WaveSecure UPA (Uninstall Protection Add-on). Once loaded, WaveSecure and WaveSecure UPA watch out for each other. If you uninstall WaveSecure UPA, the main WaveSecure app locks.

WaveSecure prompts you to load UPA from the Android Market once registration is complete. Users who do not have access to Android Market can get the latest UPA here.

In addition to keeping your data safe, you will be able to access them with a web browser. Anytime. Anywhere.

LG Electronics plans to release an Android-based tablet by the end of the year according to PC World. It’s reported that the tablet will be part of the LG ‘Optimus’ range, but will not be ready for another few months yet. LG is one of South Korea’s largest electronics makers and has already unveiled three smartphones in its Optimus range, including the Optimus Z, which features Android 2.1 and a 1GHz Qualcomm SnapDragon chipset.
LG will join several other large electronics manufacturers in releasing a tablet device to rival the iPad. The Huawei S7 is the only tablet scheduled for a Q3 release at the moment, but Samsung, HP, ASUS and Blackberry are all expected to have tablets released by late 2010/early 2011. This level of interest in the market can only be good for consumers and should help to keep prices competitive and affordable.
