Play Champions League with Heineken Star Player...
To kick off, let me just say that I think this is brilliant - it’s not perfect and there are some niggling elements to it, but as an original, engaging idea for an iPhone app this is great.
Heineken have released Star Player, a game that you play during every UEFA Champions League match whilst watching the game live on TV.
It’s basically in-game gambling, but for points not cash....

The iPad is a good looking piece of kit… and at £400-£700 a pop, it’s definitely worth looking after and protecting. So where do you start when looking for an iPad case or sleeve?
Lets face it, the bog standard Apple iPad Case is extremely dull, over fiddly and also hides the slick looks of the iPad away behind the boring black plastic exterior and there’s a lot of crap out there....
