Tesco Compare now offers consumers gadget insurance as the comparison site joins forces with providers, Protectyourbubble.com and Gadget Cover.

The move marks Tesco Compares continual drive to add new partners and services that will give consumers greater choice when looking for deals on insurance, money and utilities products. Protectyourbubble.com and Gadget Cover have been providing insurance for many years, offering cover for devices such as iPhones, sat navs, video cameras, iPads, games consoles and iPods in the event of theft, loss or damage.

Typical types of insurance available from the providers include cover for multiple gadgets, and usage abroad – which can be individually-tailored.

Vikki Macleod, Tesco Compares Commercial Director, said: We are pleased to be working with both providers. Alongside giving a broader selection of services, we are introducing people to more bespoke forms of insurance. Gadgets are expensive to replace and mean a lot to people. Thats why consumers can search for a gadget insurance deal.

People are carrying around more gadgets than ever before increasing the risk of theft, loss and breakage. Gadgets, particularly mobile phones, are vital to people and an integral part of their life. Whether the gadget is a laptop, smart phone or camera, many people have at least one gadget they rely on considerably. Insurance can ease the financial burden if someones beloved gadget is lost, stolen or accidentally damaged.

Vikki Macleod summed up: Teaming up with both providers underlines our commitment to expanding our offering alongside our existing services. Introducing people to gadget insurance demonstrates our dedication to evolving with the needs of the modern customer.

Free Android App for Zendesk


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 9, 2010

Today Zendesk, the online solution that reinvents how companies support and engage with their customers, announced the availability of an Android(TM) application for Zendesk. Now, any support agent with an Android-powered phone who uses Zendesk can take advantage of managing support tickets directly from their mobile device. Zendesk customers can download the new application from the Android Market(TM) for free starting today.

“Responding to customer support needs is an around-the-clock responsibility,” said Mikkel Svane, CEO of Zendesk. “As part of our goal to give businesses easy ways to engage with their customers in real-time, we made it a priority to create specially designed Zendesk applications for mobile phones. This way agents can respond to customers on the go and managers or business owners have visibility into what their customers are saying no matter where they’re at.”

Zendesk for Android joins the existing iPhone app that customers have been enjoying since April with more than 10,000 downloads in the first week alone. The Zendesk mobile applications give agents the same visibility into their company’s ticket activity as they would using Zendesk on a desktop or laptop. Zendesk customers can view, update, and create new support tickets from their phones as well as easily configure ticket fields and add comments with the touch friendly applications.

“The Zendesk for Android app is great, I can view and respond to my tickets from my phone wherever I am, ” said Daniel Strauss of Groupon. “The clean, simple interface makes it very easy to just pick up and use.”

Simple and clean… very Google. I love that you can see the installs and active users of your app, though I wonder what "active" means? Are they actively tracking how often someone runs an application…. I hope not! Otherwise, very impressed with this console so far. Works great.
