kindle – On Technology and the Future: Education, IoT, AI, Mobility, Games

This week’s Carnival of the Mobilists comes to you from Kansas, more specifically from Steven Hoober, and here’s what he has in stock for you:

Will larger screens lead to poorer mobile web sites?
Do apps beat browsing?
What will be the best mobile advertising networks 2012?
Do QR codes work? Someone had a look at TfL’s (better known as the operator of the London Tube) numbers.
What can advertisers expect from the Kindle Fire?
Would you close your business for two days per week? A look at retailers and the benefits of mobile-optimized websites.
Will Windows Phone 7 be cutting it?
Android and Apple have not won the smartphone war.
Have you ever heard of a “wearable computing equation”? Check it out!
What is the spectrum/bandwith crunch in Boise, Idaho?
My little piece on the revolutionary (well, perhaps, “only” disruptive) French operator Free.
Image processing in Generation M

The carnival is live here. Go read! 🙂

A new year, a new carnival (which will returned to weekly editions now, too). This week’s edition is hosted by Mark Bridges over at thefonecast.com, and he includes posts, such as:

Lots of reminiscing on the past year (on mobile marketing, the greater scope of the mobile landscape and – albeit in Spanish – a reminder of a joke from all the way back in 2004 when someone suggested in April Fools’ fashion that Apple – hold your breath – might launch a phone bypassing traditional network operators).
Of course some predictions (general ones as well as a look on where mobile development specifically might go) and Tomi Ahonen’s latest on why all roads lead to Mobile (as in tech, not as in Alabama).
A couple of posts on what might or might not happen to WebOS following HP’s open-sourcing announcement (comparisons to Symbian’s fate included).
More on dying platforms with a piece on mobile flash.
Ad performance benchmarking (Admob vs mobfox).
A call to prepare for the (presumed) ascent of the Kindle Fire.
And, finally, a nod to my two posts on Angry Birds and my take on the dubious assertion that “social lost its sizzle“.

The carnival is here! Go, read it! 🙂 And if you’re a blogger wanting to participate, head over to the Carnival’s revamped homepage where you will find everything you need to know about submitting entries and even hosting one on your own blog if you are so inclined.
