Mobile World Congress is over bar the shouting and while it was perhaps more subdued than usual there were still plenty of excellent devices we got to see in the flesh. Why does it matter? The Pocket-lint team on the ground at MWC 2022 chose their top 10 products of the show, which you can [find out here](. What's my take? The return of MWC was most welcome, even though the show was understandably less busy than in its pre-pandemic heydays. Not only did some companies pull out prior to the event, but many have since switched to their own online launch schedules - no longer reliant on conventional timings. That being said, the team were still enthusiastic about many of the products that did make it to the show floor, including a few laptops/2-in-1s, such as the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro and Android-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook. Chinese brands also seemingly dominated the handset launches, with the Honor Magic 4, Poco X4 Pro and Oppo Find X5 Pro among those to stand out. But perhaps most exciting of all, the continued emergence of MediaTek as a mobile chip supplier and Qualcomm's persistent enhancements to 5G technologies will benefit us all the most in the near(ish) future, Certainly, MWC 2023 is shaping up to be an even more exciting playground. - [Mobile World Congress 2022: All the announcements that matter]( Marvel's Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Punisher and more switch to Disney+ on 16 March Marvel/Disney What's happened? Fans lamenting the removal of Marvel's multiple live action TV series from Netflix will be excited to learn that [they all arrive on Disney+]( in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand on Wednesday 16 March. Why does it matter? Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Punisher, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders will join Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the streaming service, bringing all of Marvel's live action adaptations under the one banner at last. What's my take? Disney+ has certainly changed a lot since its launch in 2019. Originally designed as a family streaming platform with a remit of child-friendly content only, its success and robust parental controls system have enabled Disney to widen its content range. First we had the Star sub-channel launch in the UK, Europe and other territories that don't yet receive Hulu. It gave Disney a chance to offer mature, even 18-rated shows and films from the library it acquired with the Fox acquisition and more. Now we're getting the darker Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series originally housed on Netflix, and within the usual Disney+ experience to boot. That's actually a significant decision by the House of Mouse and could see other, more mature content made in its various universes - Star Wars, for example. It opens a whole new world of exciting possibilities, for sure. Whether that happens or not is by-the-by for now though. Just being able to watch Daredevil and Jessica Jones alongside Hawkeye and the forthcoming Moon Knight is enough for us for now.
