International remittances sent via mobile phones to reach $55 billion in 2016

According to a new report from Juniper Research, almost $55 billion in international remittances will be enabled via mobile devices in 2016, up from less than $12 billion this year. Unsurprisingly established migration corridors such as the US-Mexico and intra-regional transfers across Africa and the Middle East will lead the growth, though inter/intra-regional activity from and within Western Europe will account for the largest remittance volumes by the end of the forecast period. The research company goes on suggesting that touchscreen interfaces, apps and Internet access will help drive the … Read more

That said, one Sony Ericsson smartphone, Xperia active, has found its way to Newegg, which is selling the SIM-free version for $369.99. Yeah I know that sounds kinda steep, but as I said – you don’t have to sign a two-year contract with the purchase. Those who don’t know what this particular handset is all about should … Read more

Galaxy A phone

A friend recently asked me about the Galaxy A phone, saying someone has told him such a device exists. At first I said “it’s a scam” but later on I did some research and found such a device in our very own database. Heck I even wrote about it in May of last year (forgot about it). But… there’s big “but” here. To my knowledge, that phone was never released outside of South Korea. Plus there’s no reason to want one – it’s pretty much the original Galaxy S under … Read more
