That's obviously true, but a round of this size was likely several months in the making even for a company the size of Spotify.


So was knowledge of Apple's announcement.


http://tech.eu because where else would people go to find out about cool tech and startups coming out of Europe without having to weed through too much crap?


Oh, plenty more that deserve a mention. Spotify and SoundCloud, sure, but also other music startups like Songkick (YC) and Deezer. On the gaming side, there's Rovio, King, Supercell, Plarium, Wooga, Nordeus, ZeptoLab, Game Insight and plenty more that are kicking ass and taking names.

Others with loads of potential to become big hits include Huddle, TransferWise, 6Wunderkinder, Geckoboard, Jolla, EyeEm, Klarna, Narrative, Magine, TradeShift, HouseTrip, Trademob, Withings, Blablacar, Outbrain, SwiftKey, Hailo, Holvi, Wrapp, Busuu, Babelverse, Trustev and so on. Then there's a whole mobile payment revolution going in Europe (where Square isn't available) with companies like SumUp, iZettle, Payleven and others growing rapidly.

I could go on and on, but there's a few reasons I started Tech.eu and one of them is precisely to highlight the tech innovation that's happening across Europe. :)

Qualcomm, that means no datasheet. Too bad, it certainly looks interesting for the price.


Sorry but it's bullshit. Apologies for self-promoting my The Next Web article on this, but many popular apps seemingly lost a lot of users according to AppData's data. It doesn't add up at all.

this. appdata's data fluctuates wildly quite often. given the quality of the inside network blogs, i'd call any of it into doubt


Martin is from Argentina, not American, and he has built and invested in businesses in both Europe and the US. He knows what he's talking about.


Because it's not an app but an extension.


I really hope this doesn't get down-voted because it's a little promotional, but I posted a video interview with Mozilla's chairwomen Mitchell Baker today, she said some interesting things I think.

s/chairwomen/chairwoman/


Doh!


or simply "chair".


Or just "chairman" because it's the name of a position within a board or meeting and is gender neutral.


I find the term discriminatory against stools and benches.


Give you the ability to see what kind of access you've granted which application, and the option to 'nuke' (i.e. disconnect) all apps in one go. The alerts as mentioned below as well.


From the looks of it, this announcement dates back to August 8? https://twitter.com/workfu/status/233143828503224320 - and as mherdeg points out, their most recent update is to be found on the homepage.
