The Carnival is always worth waiting for!
Welcome to #166 – the Carnival of Mobilists’ one hundred and sixty-sixth post, which by my calculations means the Carnival has been active for over 3 years now. This is the first time WIP has hosted, although we have been an active friend of the Mobilists for almost since inception. Our conclusion – hosting and reading all the posts is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with great reads! Enjoy…..
Our very diverse set starts with Dave Levy from Most Likely To Die Alone (just checking out that threat advisory system is worth a visit); where he takes a different twist on the mobile privacy debate and asks the question: “Will we, as audience members and mobile phone users, care nearly as much?”
Wading into the mobile operating system quagmire as he often does, Andreas Constantinou from Vision Mobile, goes behind the scenes to find out why LiMo is still catching up to Google and Nokia and why its effectiveness will be limited – unless LiMo goes back to the drawing board. What does this mean for the future of mobile Linux?
Volker Hirsch from Volker’s Thoughts takes a different twist on reviewing the impact of the iPhone by looking at Apple’s assault on existing gaming platforms through iPhone and iPod Touch.
Interviewing Tomi Ahonen, Author of Mobile as 7th of the Mass Media gave Antoine RJ Wright “a good bit of a kick in the pants” and some new insight regarding how he viewed the mobile industry.
Andrew Grill from London Calling, collected some mobile gems from Rory Sutherland at Ogilvy and Chris Carmichael of British Airways when they spoke to a room full of brands and agencies in London at the UK MMA meeting.
Dennis Bournique from WAP Review, one of my favorite bloggers, went to an Ovi App Store developers event at Nokia’s Silicon Valley office in Mountain View and gives the low down in “Ovi App Store Details“.
Post of the Week: Goes to Andrew Grill at London Calling, for his gems on mobile marketing; and reminding us how Twittering can be a good way to take notes for future posts (not to self…..)
Next Carnival: oh – lol it is at London Calling! Tune in there next week for Carnival #167.
