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.

Google-owned Motorola Mobility has announced its new Moto X smartphone, promising that every Moto X sold in the USA will also have been assembled in America.

The handset will be available in the US, Canada and Latin America within the next few weeks, although there are currently no plans for a UK release.

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.

Google has announced its quarterly results for the three months until 30th June 2013. Revenue was up 19% year-on-year to $14.11 billion and net income was up 16% to $3.23 billion, although operating income was down slightly to $3.12 billion.

Revenue at Motorola Mobile increased to $998 million, although operating losses grew to $342 million.

Motorola Mobility CEO Dennis Woodside has announced that the company’s forthcoming flagship smartphone - the Moto X - will be assembled in the USA, although components will be sourced worldwide.

The new device is being described as the first smartphone that’s ever been assembled in the United States.
