It’s nearly that time of the year again. Literary critics prepare to sharpen their pens in the hope of puncturing egos while promising new authors are launched onto the scene and publishers rub their hands with glee at the thought of elevated sales.

This year’s list is a classic, if one bears in mind that the Booker Prize inevitably becomes a battle between a young author with a dazzling, if untested, reputation and at least one venerable older writer.

It wasn’t that long ago that mobiles were for phone calls and computers were the means through which you did your accounts, sent emails and accessed a website. The latest generation of mobile phones has taken the hand-held device into new territory, effectively blurring the lines of division between computer and ‘cell phone’.

Improved capacity, memory, speed, screen quality and wireless reach means you can now access virtually every function and facility that was once the preserve of a computer. This includes emails, work documents, photo albums, computer games and the Internet, but also an absolutely huge and rapidly growing number of programmes specially designed with hand-held devices in mind. Generally known as apps, they are revolutionising the software industry in their own right, and taking the digital revolution in a new direction.
