In the frantic run-up to Christmas, I missed this (which is nearly unforgivable of course): the last Carnival of the Mobilists of the year, this time hosted by Peggy herself on Mobile Groove (something for you to read regularly anyway!).
This version (which you will find here) brings the wrap-up of the best and brightest in mobile-related blogging from the past month and it is well, well worth a read. You’ll get:
- Chetan Sharma’s recount of his latest Mobile Breakfast event. Trends and predictions galore.
- Martin Wilson’s guest blogger Tina de Souza on retail and mobile (one of the more exciting dichotomies to solve).
- Tomi Ahonen has one of his usual brief (not) posts on Nokia.
- WIP Connect’s Carlo Longino interviews Touchtype.
- James Cameron of Camerjam fame interviews Daniel Appelquist from BlueVia (and many things before that…).
- Antoine Wright casts a critical eye on UX for mobile services.
- and, and, and…
Go read it! You know you need it after those few days offline. Perfect snacking.
And, if I don’t speak to you before: have a great 2012 and remember to live life to the fullest – if or if not it turns out to be the end of the world! 
If you are in London (or looking for a rather compelling excuse to come over), you should visit OSiM (short for “Open Source in Mobile” next week. Opening its doors at Olympia on 19 and 20 October (i.e. Tuesday and Wednesday), it boasts an impressive line-up, including speakers from:
- Telstra
- Virgin Mobile USA
- ST-Ericsson
- France Telecom
- Texas Instruments
- Turkcell
- etc, etc
The good folks from WIPJam will run one of their famous Un-Panels, too!
I will be on a panel of bloggers and analysts and looking at “How web service innovation affect and impatc operator strategy and mobile device services” (yes, I was scratching my head, too).
Come over and say hi; it’ll be worthwhile!
