Is this the year of mobile? (Small Business E-commerce Link Digest – January 9, 2010)
Peter Kim thinks 2010 is the year of mobile. I think 2009 already was. In either case, to quote the old song, something’s happenin’ here. Want proof? Check out this week’s links:
- Mobile phones have been a big deal during CES the last few years. This year’s no exception. PC World has a recap.
- ATT&T may already have the iPhone, but they’re adding Android and WebOS models, too. Trouble in paradise?
- Why would AT&T offer Android? Well according to Read/Write Web the platform is showing big growth since launching
- The Atlantic Monthly thinks Google’s got ulterior motives in entering the mobile phone business. Thought-provoking.
- The New York Times’ Bits Blog offers one reason Google’s Nexus One will succeed.
- With all these phones floating around, lots of folks see money to be made. With that, Apple just bought mobile ad provider Quattro Wireless. Clearly, they see a future here, eh?
- Not sure which one to get for yourself? Huffington Post details the Google Nexus One features the iPhone doesn’t have. And Bill Shrink offers the following amazing comparison.

Hi Stepahny,
Thanks for pointing this out. I don’t get lots of traffic from Flock/Ubuntu, but the next design of thinks (coming soon to a browser near you) will be using the latest CSS and HTML techniques to be much more readable on all platforms. Stay tuned! And thanks for reading!
