On holiday.....

Disruptive Wireless is taking a much-needed break for a week or so.....

But a quick anecdote.... just spotted an advertising hoarding for LG's new 5 Megapixel cameraphone. Where am I? Seoul? Helsinki? Singapore? No...... Kiev in Ukraine.

It's interesting - the shops here are full of the absolute newest handsets - Nokia N-Series, assorted high-end Samsungs and so on. It was much the same deal when I was in Mozambique's capital Maputo at Xmas. I guess the handset manufacturers must realise that there's an affluent elite in nearly every country that absolutely, positively, must have the newest (or most expensive) phone.
