Whether it’s by giving people access to banking, furthering education or saving lives, the reach of mobile is incredible.

Looking back at living with the Nokia N8: A long term review
March 7, 2012
This is a post that I have put off for quite some time now. It started out as a three month look and then roughly six months. That turned into a 12 month retrospective but then I was fortunate enough to get a Nokia N9 in for review at around that time so that idea fell by […]

October 27, 2011
Amidst the euphoria (and disappointments) of the launches yesterday, the Asha S40 devices , the Lumia 710 and the stunning Lumia 800 running Windows Phone Mango, a couple of new applications were rolled.
