The Motorola Moto X smartphone opens this week's show, despite not having a European release... but there's plenty of other UK news.

We talk about O2's plans to launch 4G mobile services later this month, we look at the ASA's ruling against EE, we contemplate the government's plans to eliminate some mobile 'black spots', we wonder when Android's market share will start to shrink - and we discuss many other mobile telecom stories as well.

We start this week's show by discussing the recent quarterly results from Google, Nokia, Vodafone and Microsoft.

There's also time to talk about SIM security, Ubuntu's crowd-funded smartphone, the HTC One mini, smart watches and an unusual process for recharging your phone battery.

Financial betting platform XP Capital has started enabling new customers to verify their age and identity by holding official documents in front of an Apple iPhone camera.

The company’s iOS app has integrated Netverify from Jumio, which can scan driving licences, passports and ID cards and then confirms their authenticity.

Karsten Nohl from Berlin-based Security Research Labs has found a way to use ‘over the air’ updates to take over mobile phones.

Although it only affects older SIM cards, he says the security flaw could affect up to 750 million phones worldwide.

We start this week's podcast by talking about an Android security risk - before moving on to new 4G services from EE, a drop in Nook tablet prices and a couple of quarterly results that disappointed the stock market.

In addition we discuss insurance complaints, Bluetooth Smart technology, a new multi-million investment in Shazam and some research about the future of apps.
