WRS stories about “cell phones”
Mobile phones and brain cancer? Scientists still don't know
Tuesday, 18 May, 2010
Is there a link between brain cancer and mobile phones? The expert answer is…we don’t know. The world’s largest study on the possible link between brain tumours and mobiles has come up inconclusive. The authors presented their findings at the United Nations in Geneva yesterday. They say mobile users can take precautions in using their phones until there are some more definite answers. WRS reporter Alex Helmick has more.

Swiss aim high on mobile recycling
Thursday, 14 May, 2009
Do you have a mobile phone stuck at the back of a drawer somewhere, gathering dust? If you’re not going to use it, you’d be better off recycling it – its components could then be re-used for other things. This weekend might be a good time to have a mobile-phone clear-out. Swiss non-profit recycling organization SWICO is setting up collection points in 300 locations across Switzerland, as Catherine Allen reports.

Forget about your wallet, just make sure you have your mobile. Making quick payments by simply swiping your mobile phone over a machine is already common practice in Japan, India and even neighbouring France. Now. the big mobile phone operators in Switzerland are now putting their heads together to make this possible here too. But they say a security conscious mentality could cause delay. In the mean time, one Geneva start up has found another route to allowing mobile phone payments, and it is fast turning into a hit on Facebook and Myspace. Lucas Chambers reports for WRS.
