September 7, 2011 No Comment
Long before Monday night’s ACC clash between the University of Maryland and the University of Miami was decided, it was undeniable that the Terps had most definitely won the night. The University of Maryland’s polarizing new uniforms had dominated Twitter and the school itself was the No. 1 search term according to Google Trends. So, what was all the fuss about?

When it comes to music subscription services, Spotify isn’t the only game in town — but you knew that already. Here in the States we’ve got Rhapsody and Rdio to name but a couple, and in Europe, Deezer has been making a bit of a name for itself over the past few years. The French service will likely be expanding its reach in the UK, thanks to a deal struck with Orange. Deezer is now available as part of the carrier’s Panther plan — Orange customers on other plans will have to pay

The best content from guardian.co.uk is now available on and offline in a native Android app I am very excited to announce that the Guardian app for Android is now available. The app – which is free to download and is available from the Android Market worldwide – includes the latest news, sport, comment, reviews, videos, podcasts and picture galleries from guardian.co.uk . A full list of features and further information is available from our FAQs , but there are two bits of functionality that we’re really excited about. First, the homescreen is highly customisable – if you like football, you could do away with the usual mix of news and sport and instead see the top five stories from our Premier League page followed by the latest from your favourite team and then Barry Glendenning’s most recent posts. If you want in depth coverage of a particular story, you can add that topic to your homescreen – UK riots or phone hacking, for instance. This level of customisation has also influenced the offline reading options. Rather than manually selecting what you want to download, there is one button that allows you to download your homescreen and your favourites. Alternatively, you can schedule this download to take place at a certain time each day – for example via Wi-Fi before you leave the house and go offline. The app was designed and developed by an in-house team – headed by lead Android developer Rupert Bates – using the Guardian’s Content API . It is the first version of the app and we intend to make improvements and introduce new features in the coming months based on user feedback. A widget is currently on top of our to-do list and we are also thinking about ways to improve the live-blogging experience, but please let us know what you’d like us to add (or even fix!). In other news, our iPad app is nearing completion and I’m happy to report that our existing mobile products are performing really well. The mobile site, m.guardian.co.uk , now accounts for around 12% of our digital traffic on average and witnessed a record 802,975 visitors recently. The iPhone app also goes from strength to strength with a total of 480,914 downloads since its launch in January 2011. As ever, please feel free to share your feedback in the comments below, or get in touch with us on Twitter via @guardianmobile . Android Guardian app for Android Subhajit Banerjee guardian.co.uk
