OK, another quick one for you SWFC fans out there. If you were already subscribed to my calendar for the 2011/2012 season, you need to do absolutely nothing :D We've made it to stop one on our way to the Premiership hopefully and arrived for a new season in the Championship. Kicking off locally(ish) with a game against Derby County, I've updated my shared calendar again this season. Hosted on google calendars and available to you and your Android/Nokia/iPhone/pc/mac whatever device nice and simply and without cost. Woohoo! Again, if you were already subscribed to this calendar for the 2011/2012 season, you need to do absolutely nothing :D This link will take your calendar program to fully list the fixtures and location of games, complete with times and location info, straight on to your device. The map and location functionality will also help if you are a super travelling fan for finding the ground allowing you a single click to load maps. ;) If you have an iphone you can go

NFC Sony Smart Tags and the Xperia S

In a the very first meet of the Sony Ericsson Test Lab, we were asked what we thought might be good for the future of mobile phones and I thought I'd chuck NFC in as a possible solid upcoming performer. It was something I first visited with Nokia. Sony have now brought NFC to a somewhat physical form with Sony Smart Tags. The more I look at these tags, the better I think they could be...

Cool and probably a way I'd set it up too. But in the morning, you'd need to edit your profile to get back to normal... will we find that very quickly our house/office/car looks like a Christmas tree decorated by kids?

Well, I thought I'd just ask so using social media I posted the following question: @OrangeHelpers if a customer wants to go from sim to micro sim, do you charge them? @O2 if a customer wants to go from sim to micro sim, do you charge them? @ThreeUKSupport if a customer wants to go from Sim to micro sim, do you charge them? Job done. Then just 15min
