His blog focuses on observations from his work, often illustrated with beautifully composed photographs.

One thought on “Found On The Mobile Web #210

  1. Hi, YesWAP is really an useful compilation. I have found many useful tools from this.
    tube2mp3 is good. But, once try tubidy.mobi it’s really great. You can can directly search and download youtube videos in 3gp. Also, audio only download feature is also there. More over works flawlessly on Opera mini.
