This week the Carnival of the Mobilists – the weekly line-up of the best blogs and bloggers on all things mobile – comes to us via Andy Favell over at MobiThinking, a valuable resource with a good selection of mobile advertising stats, reports and white papers. Between Andy’s outreach for old and new Mobilists to

If you read any other tech blogs (which you of course don’t, you loyal things you), you’ve probably heard all about Apple’s lawsuit against HTC. I’m not a lawyer, but just to bullet point it – Apple is saying HTC is infringing on several Of their patents. What’s so fascinating (aside from just
Anyone remember those “leaked” Windows Mobile 7 screenshots that were floating around the internet over a year ago?
After the big WP7 announcement at Mobile World Congress, I think it was pretty clear that they were, indeed, fake. However, something didn’t quite add up… If they’ve been working on WP7 for so long, why was
Our friends at VisionMobile are conducting a mobile developer survey, sponsored by O2 Litmus. The survey close date has been extended to March 26 and the results will be published in Q2 2010. And there are prizes! All participants will be included in a draw for 24 great prizes:

I’m excited to be returning to Austin for a visit in a couple of weeks, not just because I’ll get to spend my birthday with a ton of great friends, but also because it’s South by Southwest time. It’s been pretty amazing to watch how SXSW Interactive has grown over the years, and particularly how
This week the Carnival of the Mobilists comes to us via Caroline Lewko and the brand-new (!) WIPConnector. The new site consolidates all of the sites– including the blog, WIPJam information – into one destination and invaluable resource for developers. Please redirect any links you have to the new URL. The line-up of #213 must-read posts
This week the Carnival comes via the personal blog belonging to Terence Eden, mobile enthusiast and Vodafone manager. COM #212 features a broad mix of posts, ranging from a new VOIP white paper available for download to the definitive list of mobile’s top 25 giants. What is high on the mobile agenda? Read on and
The inimitable Tomi Ahonen (turned Wayne’s World J) gets us into party-mode when he hosts COM #211 at Communities Dominate Brands. The line-up of topics is almost exciting as the Mobile World Congress taking place as we speak. Among the posts you shouldn’t miss:
Dennis Bournique at WAP Review reviews the Opera Mini browser and asks why
Martin Wilson over at Indigo 102 hosts the Carnival for the first time. Martin’s summary (one of the best written I’ve seen) expertly outlines the posts and their key takeaways. From mobile metrics in the UK to Alcatel Lucent’s developer platform to Nokia’s smart move – it’s all at COM #210. Among the highlights:
Tomi Ahonen is
Many thanks to Dennis Bournique at WAP Review for jumping in to host COM #209. He had a flood of submissions – including a post from a Carnival newcomer (always welcome!). Here are some good reasons to go back and check it out. From new white papers to a look at the iPad launch to
The Carnival has Olympic fever this week, coming from Vancouver, where Caroline Lewko has the latest installment up on the WIPConnector. Be sure to check it out for this week’s best blogging about mobile!
It’s wonderful to have Antoine RJ Wright take the helm of Carnival and walk the talk by hosting the blog (yes the blog) on a mobile phone. (Although the mobile phone platform can be a challenge at times.) Among the topics under the Carnival tent this week:
World Cup content & what fans REALY want Redrawing the smartphone
Via EngadgetMobile, the Nokia C6 was approved by FCC. Looks like the new C-series is headed to the market soon. Alessandro
Meetings! We all hate them. Sometimes they are necessary. But what if you could minimize the number of meetings (and in particular status meetings) necessary to keep a project moving in the right direction. When I’m running a project, especially one with tight time-lines, I’m used to running daily (quick) “stand up” meetings in which
Wow, what a great MobileMonday Austin event we had last Monday Feb 22. With around 120 people attending, a great agenda and speakers, and a good time, it is safe to call the event a success. The opening by David, the demos by the various companies and the panel on Monetizing Mobile Apps moderated by
During the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona I signed up (thanks to Andrea) for the Android developer mini conference. Surprising everyone, Google gave away a brand new Google Nexus One to anyone who attended the sessions.
I played a bit with the phone. It’s very responsive (I bet, with a 1Ghz CPU!!). Touchscreen is good,

Via Ugur, a great news for Flash Lite developers who want to monetize on their content. Kuneri has launched an in app purchase method.
“In App purchasing, powered by Tanla License Manager integrated to Kuneri’s Rapid Application Development toolkit KuneriLite, aims to provide a solid monetization and DRM solution to Flash Lite developers, by enabling In
Everybody knows about the Starbucks example of location-based ads: you walk past a coffee shop, and it sends a coupon enticing you inside to your phone. Most sensible people realize it’s not a great idea (see Russell’s definitive fisking of the concept), but the idea lives on. Monday’s NYT had a story about how clothing
I posted a question/request to the OVI Publisher discussion forum regarding the support of the .pip file format to protect content installed via a .sis file. I sent an email as suggested from the OVI support team and waiting for an answer. Also for anyone who published content on OVI Store via nfl packaging for S40, check

I hate telemarketers; nothing personal, but I hate when they call home and when they call my mobile consuming my minutes! If you want to avoid being called by telemarketing companies, you should add yourself to the National Do Not Call List. Add your mobile and your home numbers.
The National Do Not Call Registry gives you
One of the finalists of last year’s Mobile Peer Awards in Barcelona was Mob4Hire, which showed an awful lot of potential. I caught up with them this year again at MWC and was really pleased to see that they were fulfilling their early promise and adding new services to their core offering. Mob4Hire is the inspiration
It’s February, which can only mean one thing in mobile — MWC in Barcelona. I’ve stayed home in Las Vegas again this year as I finish up my MBA courses, but I’ve been living vicariously through Twitter and following along with the news, while looking at pictures of jamon (see right). A number of topics
