To conclude, check this nice mobile 2.0 definition from Daniel Appelquist:

"Mobile 2.0 is not "the Future." it is services that already exist all around us. These services are maturing at an amazing rate and what they are doing is effectively knitting together Web 2.0 with the mobile platform to create something new: a new class of services that leverage mobility but are as easy to use and ubiquitous as the Web is today. These services point the way forward for the mobile data industry."

It took the internet a couple of years after 1994 to reach its maturity on the technology side, not to forget the business side of things. I believe the time has come for another exciting period, the Mobile Web. Some carriers/operators are finally starting to act – how about you?

Read this entire article if you want to bore yourself to death with lack of content, I mean seriously this reads like a brochure you glance over at the dentists office while you wait in agony for that large syringe about to pierce your gums.

There is a nice list of start-up’s included. Great if you want to check them out. Beyond that … I can’t say much more.
