After a hiatus, The Comunicano Daily is back. Today, we'll lead off with what is a stellar review by ZDNET's Matt Miller about client Sonim's new XP7 AndroidSmartphone.  Back in 2005 when Comunicano launched the Nokia Blogger Relations Program Matt was one of the first "pro" bloggers we contacted because he lives smartphones and has now for well over ten years.

Public Perceptions of Privacy and Security in the Post-Snowden Era

Privacy evokes a constellation of concepts for Americans-some of them tied to traditional notions of civil liberties and some of them driven by concerns about the surveillance of digital communications and the coming era of "big data."

And the Pew Report is timely, as Facebook is struggling in the area of Privacy, as they try to balance how they make more money with advertising.
