Rob Orr - Samsung’s former Vice President of European Telecoms Operations and the temporary UK ‘head of mobile’ when Simon Stanford left - has been appointed by Virgin Media Business as its new Director of Large Sales. He’ll report directly to MD Peter Kelly.

Mr Orr had previously worked at Research In Motion (BlackBerry) and was appointed as RIM’s UK and Ireland managing director in 2012.

Peter Kelly said “As a business, we are committed to finding the right solutions and meeting the needs of enterprises across the UK, and Rob’s appointment will help us to achieve that goal. With over 15 years’ experience in the fixed and mobile telecoms sector, Rob will undoubtedly be an asset to our team. I look forward to the role he will play, alongside the rest of our business, in driving Virgin Media Business forward in 2015 and beyond.”

ExclusiveKapture review: the audio-recording wristband

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
