Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    The new service, Vodafone Music Reporter, will be offered in Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, and will also feature user-generated content, the telecoms group said in a statement.

    "I guess content is what they want now to drive volumes over the 3G network," a trader said.

    Vodafone shares were up 2.2 percent at 143.85 pence by 4:45 a.m. EDT.

    Vodafone-sponsored music events include Germany's Music Unlimited Cologne festival.
