Tech Crunch yesterday revealed plans for Google to launch a music service in the imminent future. Exciting news for all GW620 fans. This means that depending what service Google will be offering, it would make Google a Spotify competitor.

Mobile World Congress is upon us!
It's particularly exciting for us here at the blog this year as we have a guest blogger, Marc from Coolest-Gadgets, acting as our man on the ground to cover all the LG news from MWC, as it happens, and a lot more besides -no pressure Marc!
