Ireland seems like the perfect market as the banks have failed their societal duty to keep businesses going through lending. There are people with money to invest who did well during the Celtic tiger. Perhaps there is a regulatory issue that makes lending unsafe in Ireland. It certainly seems that there is a business opportunity fhere.

This was primarily due to moving from Switzerland to Finland including renting an unfurnished apartment which was a first for me. Now that everything is settled you can count in more updates, photos and links.

It goes on about the options between building for iOS, Android and Windows 8. 

And then Windows 8. If you learn how to build apps for Windows 8 you’ll emerge with skills that are bang up-to-date and are readily transferable into your day job. But again, you might make some small amount of money shifting applications. But things get more interesting after next Christmas…

For me, the key new features are the GPS logging, the enhanced lens range on both sides to 24 – 120mm and optical zoom for HD video recording. I will wait for more indepth reviews before deciding to purchase or not. Click the link above to read the whole feature.
