The Round Up Returns! Here’s a collection of the highlights over the last month

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.

1. Would you find the weekly round ups more useful if you could have them in a downloadable format, like a PDF?
2. 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.
