The article, written by Tennille Tracy went on to state that the traders ignored the downgrade on Motorola by Thomas Weisel Partners Group (I dug it up here) and pushed the daily volume well above the April average.

Weird huh? Here are my three guesses as to what’s going on.

1. Somebody knows something and everyone wants in.
2. The traders are drinking some kool aid we haven’t tasted.
3. Splitting the handset division out on its own is going to be successful.

So, if #3 is the deal here why did it take so many weeks for the traders to figure this out. This news is weeks old now right?

What do you think is going on?

Not all sites get these, I don’t know why; I just know that I don’t always see them. Search for your Company or Blog name to see if you have them.

I checked a couple of blogs I follow to see if they have em. MobileStorm does, and theirs are all nice and neat. How’d you guys do that? Darla Mack has em too and so does MobHappy.

Do you have them?

The more you share the more points you can earn. Accumulated points can be redeemed for free stuff. Except CouldTrade really doesn’t publicize what these gifts might be. I had to dig deep to find this at the bottom of the FAQs page.

Are you using CloudTrade? Did you get any cool Gifts?

You can see the Mr Wiggles Video here.

m.Net Directory of Research Dr. Marisa Maio Mackey is quoted as saying.

“For the first time we’re starting to see the use of mobile data (or non-voice) services has reached a critical mass. MDS will take off in the next six to 12 months”

During their research they discovered that people who accessed a web site from their phone doubled to 40% over the last year and that 80% would increase their usage if it were not for carrier pricing holding them back.

It’s an interesting article, check it out. There’s also a contradicting report from Sony and 3 Mobile that indicates entirely differing results on a similar study.

I’ll let you in on a little secret, the Mobile Web isn’t dead. It’s not entirely understood and some folks are finding that out. Why? It’s a different space. Today, the Mobile Web is a light weight extension of the web and so rendering full blown web apps as they appear on the desktop browser is not really feasible on a light weight extension.

Call me crazy but I don’t believe that’s what the mobile web is going to evolve into. That’s where some over-estimation has occurred in my opinion. We’re just not going to see the entire web and the web sites as they exist today go mobile and why should we?

It has the potential to be the ultimate social network if someone would create the killer mobile social app. While it’s only a lightweight extension other huge advantages like presence of you and others, location and mobility all exist. These are different dimensions that don’t exist on the desktop.

Wouldn’t it be better to have mobile social web apps that let you connect to businesses and individuals based on your location while you’re moving or stopping in new places vs. a mobile version of a desktop based web site?

People want applications like that. They also want to talk to the app not just the device. When will we see voice activated mobile web apps? If I’m on a mobile site and looking at a product I’m thinking of purchasing I want to be able to issue voice commands to move through the process, not type or click:

• buy it
• sign in
• sign out
• call me for payment details

That’s why it’s different. The mobile web apps we’re seeing now are mostly mini versions of existing web applications.

The mobile device is capable of so much more and the startups that figure that out are gonna have themselves some over the counter painkillers.

Mowser is pretty cool, it makes mobile sites on the fly. Heck, I might be interested in it…

I don’t know how much Russell has invested into this, though it sounds like he bet a lot on this project. In fact Russell sounds like he’s hurting so if you’re interesting in owning Mowser get in touch with Russell.

Honestly, I didn’t even know Tellabs was in the mobile space, did you? I know Tellabs from my job. At one time we distributed their equipment but it’s been a while, a long while in fact.

When Verizon did my FiOS install a few Months ago they terminated to a Tellabs Ethernet Media Convertor on the side of my house. So, chances are if you have a FiOS connection you might also have a Tellabs box bolted to the outside of your house. It’s a Fiber in Ethernet out device.

I found the series advertised on RCR WN. They shoulda just YouTube`d these things instead of paying advertising dollars to get the word out. Anyhow, here they are.
