PADDY POWER GAMES WEB APP


Paddy Power has launched an iPhone web app which offers a selection of casino games ready to play on the go. Gold Rush features fi ve reel slots with free-spins bonus feature, wild symbol and 50 win lines. There’s multi-hand Blackjack,


letting you bet on up to three hands at the same time, and Poseidon’s Kingdom, a sea-themed fi ve reel slot offering free-spin bonus and wild symbol. To start playing, visit www.pad- dypowergames.com on your iPhone browser.


ESB


The ESB app is ideal for those with an indoor, or otherwise inaccessible, electricity meter and who tend to often miss the meter reader. This can result in running into diffi culty with bills which are based on estimated readings over a long period of time, so this easy to use app allows customers to gain much more control over their electricity bills. You are not limited to submitting readings for just one property either. For instance,


maybe your mum doesn’t have an iPhone yet or still hasn’t gotten to grips with the web, but would like to be able submit her own meter reading. If so, this app will let you register her address (and as many others as you like) so you can submit readings for her too.


It’s now even easier to fi nd your perfect car with motoring site Carzone.ie. Currently the No 1 free lifestyle app in Ireland, the Carzone app provides all iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users’ in- stant access from the palm of their hand to the biggest range of used car stock in Ireland, whenever and wherever they want. You can search for your perfect used car by make, model, price range, year, location, body type, colour, fuel type, engine size, mileage, doors, transmis- sion or seller type. You can also access full screen photo galleries, with zoom and rotate func- tions, and easily refi ne and sort your search results. Not only that, but you can call or email the seller at the touch of a button.


According to Carzone, download- ing its app will allow you to begin the search for your dream car on Ireland’s largest showroom of used vehicles.
