This week's podcast begins with a report about a delay - or perhaps even cancellation - for the UK launch of HTC's Facebook phone, the HTC First.

We then move on to Vodafone's results, an Android app scare for Sky, Samsung's successes, contactless payments, potentially life-saving QR codes and an uncomfortable story about a smuggled mobile phone.

Television broadcaster Sky has said its Android applications are safe to use.

The company’s Twitter account and its Google Play account were both apparently taken over by the Syrian Electronic Army, which warned customers to uninstall the apps.

British Sky Broadcasting Group plc has agreed to buy the O2 and BE consumer broadband and fixed-line telephone businesses from Telefónica UK. Adding these half a million customers will make Sky the second-largest provider of broadband in the UK.

Sky is paying Telefonica £180 million for the deal, with the option of an extra £20 million if the transfer runs smoothly. It currently has 4.2 million broadband customers and 4 million telephone customers.

One of the biggest companies meeting the UK's demand for public WiFi is The Cloud, which has spent the last few years putting its network into thousands of venues.

Ofcom has published new research that looks at customer service satisfaction with the UK's largest landline, broadband, mobile and pay TV providers.

Thousands of consumers were interviewed in February as part of Ofcom's research and were asked to rate their customer service experience if they'd recently contacted their provider.
