MobileRead, an excellent resource on those things concerning mobile technology and specifically ebooks, has published some great articles over the past few days that are worthy of note.

Consumers Want More From Mobile Phones - this is pretty much what we are seeign now. People may not be ready for a full computer in their phone, but a working calendar and tasks list, as well as some suitable camera and music abilities are on the plate for more and more phone users. At some point, this will tip into some mobile friendly applications that make the phone a competitive computing platform for many people.

The future of eBooks looks dim in one article, while in another, traditional publishing houses are putting ebooks and eink devices to task - while it is true that ebooks have not taken off, some of the upcoming technologies conerning eink and content distribution will make for some change. I personally think that ebooks and eink devices are better served and developed for areas where there is not already a computing infrastructure and where the lack of that infrastructure would persuade more innovative and accessible technologies to take flight.

So there is a little something for you. Kinda neat if you ask me, and we haven't even broke forth Issue 4 yet. Its coming, and yes, you will be able to read it anywhere.
