GoMo News rant: Useful information in totally useless format
Rating: Pertinent data lost inside an infographic
What is wrong with people? Yet again, GoMobile News has been supplied with some extremely useful and pertinent information for the mobile/cellular industry.

3UK claims highest number of smartphone customers
Rating: Useful data on apps and mobile internet usage, too
The nice cosy chat with 3UK which GoMobile News enjoyed with 3K was literally peppered with info and stats which are pertinent to our readers. Our personal favourite was when CEO, Dave Dyson revealed Top Ten apps which 3UK customers actually use, which might not necessarily be the ones you might have expected. Some of these apps are slightly skewered by the kind of service which 3UK actually provides. For example, the operator has long provided access to Skype via the switched network as well as via the mobile internet. However, they are probably a fairly accurate reflection of the behaviour of UK mobile users in general. Other items of interest are comparisons between the UK operators Home pages and the percentage of customers who already possess a smartphone rather than just a featurephone. Continue reading
