About

The first mobile phone debuted in 1973, weighing 2 kilos. Three decades later that handset is humbled by the swift mini-laptops that we talk on today. With falling costs, rising demand and technology more capable than ever before, the mobile industry  moves swiftly without a pause for most of us to catch up.

This site is about making sense of these changes. Whether you’re a tech addict like us or you just want a practical guide with experience to hand out some helpful mobile advice, we hope there’s something informative for you here.

Please get in touch if any of the tips here have worked for you, you have a comment or you’d like to guest post – blogging is all about bringing the like-minded (and violently opposed) together.
