The deal for business is tiered, depending on size, but that's Microsoft's biggest customers and it aims to keep them. To that end, the company is unveiling
I've been looking at a few Mpow gadgets recently and so far, they've all done well, giving great performance for not much money. Next in line are the Mpow Cheetah Bluetooth 4.1 Sports Headphones to give them their full title. These are sport-oriented headphones, with a neckband to keep them in place.

If you are looking for a new handset, these are worth a look. Here are the deals. Moto X 2nd Gen 16GB @ £200
