The 2008 and 2009 recession saw consumption fall for the first time in 20 years, and that slow-down in America spread to countries as far apart as the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, China, India and New Zealand.

It defines pupil mobility as pupils who change school from one school year to the next, but its particular focus is on pupils changing schools at times other than natural transitions, such as from primary school to secondary school.

Meanwhile, Google's Android Market doubled over the last quarter to around 20,000 apps.
In this talk Doug Dixon explores the range of apps being developed for these new pl
