Hey Ian,

Thanks for the roundup.

You might want to start putting the date in the title of the post because now we have related posts with all the same name!

Take care,
Timen

Ha, you’re right Timen. Today was the first day I put the date in to at least differentiate a bit between each roundup.

I think that these round ups are very helpful. I am overstretched beyond belief and just don’t have time to surf the blogging world. I would rather come and find edited news sources! So thank you from here in Marrakech.

Since BNT had selected “Cell/Mobile Phone Basics for Travelers” as a pick of the week, readers may wish to see the follow-up article “Connecting to the Internet When There’s No Cafe in SightÃ¢â‚¬â€GPRS” which is posted at: http://bluesuitnomads.typepad.com/blue_suit_nomads/2007/10/connecting-to-t.html (or at http://www.bluesuitnomad.com).
