Carnival of Mobilists #199
This is the 199th Edition of the Carnival of Mobilists. What are people writing about this week?

App Stores

This remains as an ongoing hot topic, it seems we can talk about enough about the phenomenon. mjelly writing about the facts and figures while C. Enrique Ortiz writes about the App Store and integrated billing mechanisms. No doubt the evolution of Application Stores continues.

Numbers, Numbers, Numbers

We never get tired of looking at numbers and trends. Communities Dominate Brands talks about some of the implications about the 4.6B mobile phone subscriptions on earth. Chetan Sharma gives us his Mobile Data Market report for 3Q2009.

Hardware, Software and Services

Steve Litchfield writes about the transformation of the mobile phone. One of these days, I will meet someone who will look at me funny when I used the antiquated term: cell phone. Peggy Anne Salz covers quite a few topics in her podcast with Nokia, Apple, Dopplr, Flirtomatic and more. Mobile Mandala talks about Mobile Advertising and some growing trends.

Advice

And finally, Jose Colucci from Mobile Strategy tells us to Finish Strong or Go Home. It’s good advice not just about mobile ventures, but good business sense too.

Next week is episode #200, hosted by Jaime Wells at mobilestance.
