Happy Sunday everyone. So, if you were too busy over the week to keep upto date with all the happenings in the world of mobile technology, or just want a refresher on what made news, you’ve come to the right place.
Every Sunday we will give you the weekly roundup of the news.

We are back in full swing with all the guys fishing out the stories that will make the news.
After a major site redevelopment a few weeks ago, the site is running full speed. WJD Design has done a great job redesigning the site from the ground up.
Our thanks to Wayne at WJD. We are also making little tweaks here and there, in presentation as well as download/upload time.

This week was the CTIA show in New Orleans USA and we were there, John Innes our guy down there sent back great tweets, blogs and live feeds. There is a special section covering all his Live reports and articles.
