A new report from information security research and analysis specialists Goode Intelligence says the market for mobile phone biometric security products and services is expected to grow significantly in the next five years.

This year, mobile phone biometric security will generate just over $30 million - but the market is expected to grow to over $161 million by 2015.

Motorola Mobility says it's acquired California-based SunUp Digital Systems.

SunUp's software helps with the delivery and management of premium video across television, smartphones and tablet devices. It's expected to be used within Motorola Medios, Motorola's own 'multi-screen' software system for Internet TV.

Nokia Siemens Networks has completed its acquisition of wireless network assets from Motorola Solutions, paying $975 million in cash. Around 6,900 employees will be joining Nokia Siemens Networks.

Responsibility for supporting customers of Motorola Solutions' GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, WiMAX and LTE products and services - a total of 50 operator customers in 52 countries - has been transferred to Nokia Siemens Networks.

Motorola Mobility Holdings has released its first quarter results for 2011. Revenue was up 22% year-on-year to $3.0 billion, with the mobile devices part of the business generating $2.1 billion. It's still losing money but overall losses were down.

The company shipped 9.3 million mobile devices during the three month period, including 4.1 million smartphones and more than 250,000 XOOM tablets.

Motorola Solutions and Huawei Technologies have agreed to settle all pending litigation between the two parties (assuming certain conditions are met).

It means that Huawei is dismissing its lawsuit against Motorola Solutions and Nokia Siemens Networks.

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

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?

Iain Graham, James Rosewell and Mark Bridge return to review their mobile industry predictions from last year. Which mergers, partnerships and developments did they forecast correctly... and which didn’t work out as planned?

Later in the programme, the team anticipates some of the topics that will be hitting the headlines during 2016.

Mark Bridge learns about the mobile technology trends at Mobile World Congress 2015 by chatting to James Rosewell of 51Degrees, Dr Kevin Curran from the IEEE and Chris Millington of Doro.

They talk about wearable devices, wireless charging, mobile operating systems and much more... including some of their favourite products from the exhibition.

We're taking a look back at the biggest mobile industry news stories from February 2015, including allegations that the UK's security service tried to breach SIM card security by hacking into one of the world's biggest SIM producers.

We also talk about the planned BT and EE merger, the creation of two new UK virtual networks, some acquisitions in the mobile payment arena and a new Ubuntu smartphone.

In today's programme Mark Bridge talks to Chris Millington, who's Managing Director for Doro UK and Ireland.

They discuss the state of mobile retailing in the UK, the future of wearable devices and - as you might expect - smartphones for seniors.

We're back with a month of mobile industry news, including takeover talks and takeover rumours. O2 and Three are said to be discussing a merger... but is there any truth in the suggestions that BlackBerry could be up for grabs?

We also discuss Apple's record-breaking quarterly figures, the highlights of CES and the launch of Microsoft Windows 10, as well as saying farewell to the current version of Google Glass.
