This is my first time hosting CoM. Sorry for those who normally read my blog, I’ve been offline for a few weeks, but back at it again.
Antoine RJ Wright has a post Why Use A Web Server on a Mobile Device. I think he is attempting to host the post from his mobile phone. He apologizes in advance if the post is not available during the day.
Sachendra Yadav wrote about LBS: User Acceptance is the biggest challenge for Location Based Services (LBS).

Holly Kolman from mobiEnthusiast has a post about how in Japan, it’s a common place for people to write both a mobile and web version of their site. This would seem against all the rules of SEO, Pagerank and marketing that I have known, but each mobile market has its own rules that work.
Andrew Grill writes about Advertising in 2020 – A Sneak Peak From Ogilvy and Acision. There is also a link to a whitepaper with more details.

Lastly, Embee Mobile Blog wrote about the demise of Virgin Mobile USA’s Sugar Mama service: No More Sugar Mama – Where Can I Get My Fix?. People like free stuff. Take it away from them and they will find alternatives.
