Things we like: A boost for mobile and Vogue's pop-up cafe

A new survey from Opera Mediaworks suggests that mobile is now the first screen for the majority of people in the UK, with apps for Mail Online and 8 Ball Pool (pictured) reaching more than a million users in March. However, those numbers are still dwarfed by the UK’s most popular app, the free BBC iPlayer, which boasts 5.5 million users.

Vogue’s pop-up cafe 

Pop-up shops are in vogue at the moment, so it makes sense that Vogue should launch its own pop-up café. Celebrating 100 years of the UK edition of the iconic magazine, its publisher Condé Nast is hiring out a space for three months in The Village, the unashamedly posh part of Westfield London. Shoppers who fancy a Champagne cocktail while looking at a selection of vintage Vogue covers can check out the cafe from now until 25 September.
