(Credit: Crave UK) A teeny-tiny phone with a worldwide roaming SIM is just one of the products we're looking forward to at the huge mobile phone event of the year, Mobile World Congress, which starts on February 15.
Roamobi is a SIM card and a range of super-cheap phones especially designed for you itchy-footed travellers who don't want to pay extra for calls, texts, and data while you're abroad.
The SIM card is the smart bit, with built-in technology that helps it recognize available networks and automatically reroute your outgoing calls to local access numbers, so your pricey outgoing roaming calls become less damaging incoming calls. It will also support multiple incoming numbers, and automatically assign you with a local number when you roam into countries where the networks support that feature.

With the invite teasing people to "Come see our latest creation," no one knows for sure exactly what Apple has up its sleeve. But the rumor mill has been busy speculating on some type of tablet device that would let people surf the Net, watch movies, read e-books, and probably perform other tricks conjured up by the mind of Steve Jobs.
Sources have reportedly told The Wall Street Journal that the device would be a 10- or 11-inch touch-screen tablet offering wireless access and sporting a price tag of $1,000. The rumored device of the day, however, is a reported 22-inch tablet PC.
Further details are of course sketchy now, and we probably won't know much more until January 27 arrives. But we'll keep you updated with any further information as it comes in.
