As part of Amazon’s overarching goal to be the center of your shipping life, the company debuted an aggregator of daily deal services (think Groupon and Living Social) 2 years ago. The initial launch was limited to the United States, but Amazon Local has since expanded to foreign shores; last year, Amazon rolled it out in the UK. Now, the company’s making Local’s companion Android app compatible with UK deals. In addition to UK availability, the updated Amazon Local app fixes bugs and improves the user experience. Amazon hasn’t officially announced when we might expect rollout to other countries, but hopefully that happens sooner rather than later

The British Broadcasting Corporation has released its catch-up service on Windows Phone with the iPlayer now available for Windows Phone 8 consumers. The app enables users to check out shows they may have missed the past seven days across the BBC channels. As we’ve covered previously, the BBC hasn’t developed a native client as such, but has opted to start with a mobile web wrapper of its website. So why have we said it’s a “strong start” if we’re only looking at a wrapper
