Standing Mobile

Mobile Tipping Point

September 14th, 2006

I saw the announcement about the News Corp and Jamba deal the other day and immediately sent an email to my buddies telling them that 6 months from now we will look back at this as a major inflection point in the evolution of mobility…

Although, this announcement has been overshadowed by announcements from Apple and the latest pushes in video this week, I still think this is the case.  Mobile devices are capable of doing some amazing things, like reading RSS of course Once the masses get exposed to these capabilities on their mobile devices (via channels like MySpace) the whole mobile space will benefit and flourish.

On a related note, the work Dave Winer is doing to push his River of News on mobiles is also helping the cause… even though I personally don’t see the utility in the River when I can have the Gator (more on that later), I still applaud Dave for getting mobility some love.
