Hello

Summer holidays have arrived! Let’s hope the fantastic weather we have had recently will be here to stay, for a while at least.

July took us to LA, Denver, New York and Seattle to name a few! It’s fantastic to go to new places BUT we have discovered there are some things that can make it all a little easier, which we share with you in this month’s ‘Travelling Must-Haves’ feature...

Also this month - which tablet is causing a stir in the office?

Our Travelling Must-Haves...

Our work takes us all around the world enabling us to meet new people and visit new places. However it’s not always plain sailing, so we have put together a few accessories that we feel are essential when on the move - be it work or pleasure.

1. My-Cast Weather Radar by Digital Cyclone
We voted this the best weather app by far, Intuitive, easy to use, uncluttered and great features. Plus it’s helpful to have an idea of what to pack.

2. Yelp by Yelp
Use this app to find restaurants, bars, shops, a mechanic, even a park – it’s all on Yelp, including user reviews and ratings!

3. Skype headset
Excellent to be able to talk for free with friends and family when away for long periods of time.

4. Clearwire Hotspot
If the hotel WI-FI is crawling, this device makes surfing, streaming, gaming and entertaining all possible.

5. WhatsApp
A cross platform mobile messaging app, allowing you to exchange messages with no cost. Available for iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Nokia. YES they can all message each other!
