Preparing your Mobile Device
Mobile technology is becoming increasingly advanced, and the rate of change is
increasing. We’re constantly updating software to keep up with the evolution of
handsets and other devices available, and developing new apps (or “applications”,
for those who still prefer whole words) for other operating systems and hardware.
Thus, we can’t tell you exactly how to prepare your mobile device here. Firstly,
there isn’t enough space on this page to cover all compatible mobile devices. More
importantly, any information we print will probably be out of date by the time you
read it!
