Apple Music is almost here and all the competing music services are rolling out new features to try and compete with the big dog. Shazam has opted for social elements with a new area in the app called Personal Music Home which shows off what your favourite artists are listening to.

You've been able to follow artists for a while but now thirty of the services biggest artists have opted to share what they're Shazaming.

Artists include Pitbull, Calvin Harris, Robin Thicke, Clean Bandit, Maroon 5, Meghan Trainor, Coldplay, Usher, One Direction, Alicia Keys, Imagine Dragons, Linkin Park and many more. Even Pearl Jam are in on the action.

Adding up all the followers for the thirty acts and there are over 600 million people wanting to know what they're listening to.

So if you want to know what Calvin Harris hears and feels like sampling whilst out at the shops, you now can.

It's an interesting concept to take people - and potentially artists - away from the likes of Apple Music but it's only really going to appeal to the core fans; it's going to need a few more acts than just the thirty ones here. Hopefully more will be added soon.

• How does Apple Music compare to Spotify?

One of our longest-standing annoyances about the iPhone might soon be solved, as Apple is apparently looking to increase the storage capacity of its upcoming models.

However rather than boosting the top end above 128GB it's seemingly looking to make changes to the mid-tier models. At least that's the implication of a report in the Korea Times.

It doesn't get into any more detail than that, but given the extremely restrictive nature of 16GB models we hope it could mean an end to them, with 32GB becoming the smallest size.

The more the better

Apple has apparently been pleased with the sales of its 64GB phones, which suggests consumers are looking for higher capacities than 16GB. Given that Apple doesn't sell a 32GB iPhone 6 it would make sense for that size to replace 16GB in the iPhone 6S.

The report also claims that Samsung is in negotiations with Apple to supply flash memory chips for the next iPhone, though apparently no agreement has yet been made.

This information all comes from "a source close to the deal" and as always we'd take it with a healthy helping of salt.

Even if it is true it sounds like it's all just things Apple is considering and there's no definitive information on what Apple's storage plans are - so the 16GB iPhone may not have breathed its last just yet, but we live in hope.

• The iPhone 6S could also be bigger than its predecessor.

It seems the cat is well and truly out of the bag when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy A8. We've heard specs, we've seen pictures, and now we've got a video.

The footage, which was obtained by Nowhereelse.fr, shows the Samsung Galaxy A8 from just about every conceivable angle, as well as showing the camera in action and various settings screens to further confirm some of the specs.

It all echoes what we've seen and heard before, but it's a little bit harder to fake the look of a phone on video, so there's a good chance this is the real deal.

Samsung's slimmest

It looks slim, which it certainly should, given that it's supposedly just 5.94mm thick, and it seems to be sporting the metal frame that we've seen in all the pictures.

The video also mentions that the Galaxy A8 has a 5.7-inch 1080 x 1920 Super AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 386 pixels per inch, an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 16MP rear camera, a 5MP front-facing one, 16GB of expandable storage, a 3050mAh battery and Android 5.1, all of which we've heard before.

What we're still less sure about is when it will launch, though we'd expect it will be soon given that it's been so heavily and consistently leaked.

That just leaves the question of whether it will launch worldwide, as so far only a Chinese version has been certified, but the word is we might at least see it across Europe and Asia.

• It might be slim but the A8 isn't as premium as the Samsung Galaxy S6.

Amazon wants to decrease the wait between you buying items and them appearing in your hands – it's even working on a drone delivery service to make it faster – but now some UK Prime customers can receive their purchase within an hour.

Prime Now has launched in certain London postcodes offering 60 minute delivery between the hours of 8am and midnight with over 10,000 items up for sale including games consoles as well as daily essentials like coffee and nappies.

Even if you live in London it's quite unlikely the service will be at your address yet though – at the moment it's only for the real central areas in London. You can check whether your postcode is covered here.

I want it now

Amazon hopes to launch the service in the remainder of London and other UK cities by the time the year is out.

Prime members can download the app now and if you want it in the hour window you'll need to pay £6.99 or you can opt for a specific two hour window for free.

It takes quite a lot of effort to be able to get an item out to you within an hour so don't go expecting Prime Now to launch across the country by the end of the year – it's still only really possible in major cities.

A new set of images have been leaked that might show Motorola's upcoming Moto G (2015) handset.

If these images, which were leaked to TechnoBuffalo by an anonymous source, are legitimate then it is our best look yet at the still unannounced budget smartphone.

The images show a device that's very similar to the one seen in previous Moto G (2015) leaks, with a metallic strip running down the body underneath the rear camera.

Pass the source

The high quality nature of these shots gives us a very clear image of what the Moto G (2015) could look like, and they might even be official Motorola press images.

However it's worth remembering that the source who provided the photographs is not verified, and that the Moto G (2015) has yet to be announced, so we still do not know much about the next handset.

The Moto G 2015 has been previously rumoured to come with a 5-inch screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chip, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage and Android 5.1.1.

A release date has not been confirmed either, though with the Moto G (2014) launching in September last year, could Motorola be planning to launch the next one around the same time in 2015?

• Moto G vs Moto E vs Moto G 4G

Soon we can be as anti-social on holiday as we are at home, as the European Union has struck a preliminary deal to end roaming fees by June 15 2017.

The decision followed 12 hours of talks with EU lawmakers according to Reuters, and will mean that hopefully by mid-2017 you'll be able to travel to any of the 28 EU member nations and use your phone exactly as you would at home, with no bank-breaking fees.

It's a decision that's been a long time coming, as prior EU agreements had already aimed to lower the cost of roaming abroad and it's good news for, well, everyone, except mobile networks we suppose, and Three specifically as it will lose one of its main selling points.

Not so neutral net

Another seemingly positive outcome of the recent talks concerns net neutrality, as the EU apparently plans to order telecoms operators and ISPs to treat all internet traffic equally. This agreement will come into effect in April 2016, but allowances for providers to set aside parts of their network for "specialised", "higher quality" services suggests the net might not be so equal after all.

This all assumes we're even still in the EU by then, but it certainly gives us a couple more reasons to stay.

• Google also has its eye on an end to roaming charges

Microsoft is going through some big changes right now: it just sold part of Bing Maps directly to Uber and it seems like Windows Phone may soon be up for a change as well.

Rumours are suggesting Satya Nadella and his Senior Leadership Team are discussing the option to drop Windows Phone from the mobile phone line and smaller tablets.

According to leakster MSFTNerd Twitter account Microsoft would instead offer Android with particular apps and services pre-loaded.

Take all this with plenty of salt, but it wouldn't be the most unlikely thing to happen - especially as it comes just days after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella sent staff a mission statement affirming that the company must "make some tough choices in areas where things are not working."

RIP?

Microsoft previously made a deal to pre-load services on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge including Skype, OneNote and Office apps.

The new rumours suggest Microsoft and Google would partner in a deal that would see the latter develop specific versions of Google Maps, YouTube and Search for the Microsoft desktop OS.

We've reached out to Microsoft for comment but we've yet to receive an official response. Some may see dropping the Windows Phone platform as admitting defeat but a focus on apps and services may be what the company needs right now.

Microsoft is going through some tough restructuring measures right now but dropping Windows Phone all together is a drastic step.

Although not released under Microsoft's reign, the Nokia X and Nokia XL were the first Nokia devices to run on the Android platform and we've yet to see a follow up - could it soon be that all Microsoft devices are running Google's OS?
