On Wednesday May 16th, Development Informatics Group at the
University 
of Manchester held a one-day international workshop on
"Mobiles and 
Development" looking at the role of mobile devices such
as cell phones 
and PDAs in socio-economic development.

A two-page summary report from the workshop on key issues
and research 
priorities, plus copies of the presentations are now
available at:
http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/research/e
vents/conferences/mobile.htm

An agreed output from the workshop was the creation of an
m-Development 
Network, drawing together researchers and practitioners
interested in 
this growing area.

If you would like to be registered with the m-Development
Network, 
please email me with your contact details.
