I’m not sure about you but i’ve been having real problems with the 3G reception on my iPhone. At home it is fine but as soon as i get into work I lose all reception.

Maire Boran wrote a great piece on accessibility in the business section of todays Irish Independent. I’m delighted to say that Segala’s CEO, Paul Walsh was interviewed for the article.
