So that’s the round up for now. But I do have a couple of questions about these round ups which would be really helpful if you could answer.
- Would you find the weekly round ups more useful if you could have them in a downloadable format, like a PDF?
- If there was a weekly email with the round up of mobile news would you sign up to that?
Thanks for you help with that.
