Black and Chrome: the standard for a lot of devices now?
The other day I had a bunch of devices on my desk, and in between posts and the like, I glanced across at them – at which point I realised that almost all of them have the same exterior treatment in terms of colour, highlights, and styling. What do I mean? Well if I told…

Webinar on overcoming the hurdles of supplying ‘HD voice’

Frighteningly (at least for me anyway) there are something like 18000 products you can choose from – that should keep your unlimited data tariff with your service provider nice and stretched!

UK: 118800 – service suspended, but still plenty of controversy
Now I wrote about 118800 before (here) – in simple terms though, it’s a new directory company, whose directory consists of mobile numbers they bought from various sources – meaning, in simple terms, that if you are in the UK and have a mobile number, it’s quite likely you could be found (or at least…
