the APPYS A PPYS Appys Proudly sponsored by The Carphone Warehouse We have announced our title sponsorship of The Appys – Ireland’s only dedicated awards programme for mobile application development and design. With hundreds of thousands of smartphones in use in the Irish market, mobile applications are increasing in popularity across all types of handsets and platforms. The Appys are designed to celebrate the emerging innovation and creativity in the app development industry, rewarding the best Apps on the market along with their developers.
Three of the Best Irish Apps
Creators of Apps are invited to submit their entries into the awards where a panel of 15 judges will carefully consider each entry taking in its usability, production values, relevance to target market, utility, currency and innovation. Apps will be segmented into different categories ranging from Best Overall App to Best Retail App.
“Apps are becoming an integral part of Irish life, and with so many available in the market, it is critical that best Apps and the people who developed them are acknowledged and awarded. As an independent mobile provider and stockists of all brands and operating systems, we wanted to sponsor the Awards to recognise app development across all platforms. We look forward to announcing the winners in November.”

Touchscreen phones Millions of users now use touch screen phones. Quicker and easier to access than actual buttons – it’s now all about the user interface and the software. Manufactures strive to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.
“Photos and movies look much better on a large screen” The touchscreen format was once limited to smartphones and expensive multimedia focused products, not for everyone’s budget. All mobile manufacturers are now producing touchscreen phones to fit all pockets – literally. LG had great success with their Cookie, Samsung with the Tocco lite and now manufacturers are making the touchscreen experience even better and more affordable. But what are the advantages of a touchscreen phone over a regular or ‘classic’ phone? Studies have shown that touch screens, such as automatic ticket machines that you would find in a
train station or a cinema are more intuitive, you see an instruction on the screen and the immediate response is to touch the screen, that response is exactly the same with mobile phones. The fact that many touchscreen phones only have 3 buttons makes it much easier for the manufacturer, there are less components to make and therefore less moving parts that can get stuck or get damaged.
so easy on a touchscreen phone when you turn it on it’s side (landscape mode) a full QwerTy keyboard is presented on the screen and you can type away with both thumbs, much quicker than using a keypad. This format is the future of mobile phones and at The Carphone warehouse we have the range and the expert advice, ask in-store today.
Add the fact that your pictures and movies are bound to look much better on a 3.5 inch screen compared to a 2 inch screen then you start to see why they are getting so popular.
James, Head Office.

In-car accessories At The Carphone Warehouse we feel that safety should always come first. We always suggest that anyone thinking about using their mobile phone in the car should look at the bluetooth options on offer – driving while holding a mobile phone is illegal.
What is the law?
as the phone is not in your hand or being supported by any part of your body, ie. between your shoulder and the side of your head.
It is an offence to use a mobile phone while driving, unless you are calling 112 or 999. If the Gardaí charge you for this offence you will get a fixed charge notice of €60. If you pay the fixed charge you will get two penalty points. If you choose not to pay the fixed charge and are then convicted in court you will get four penalty points and a fine of up to €2,000. Using a hands-free kit with your phone is completely legal, as long
You could be prosecuted for dangerous driving, careless driving or driving without due care and attention because of this. And you could also have your licence endorsed or even lose your licence. So remember, the safe control of your car, van or bus is your responsibility. Don’t use your mobile phone and drive!
