News and Notes
Hey all;
Its been a slow week over here with the team getting some reviews under their belts ready to come in the next days/weeks and so we have all been trying to stay on top of some of what has been going on. Here are some snippets of some of recent notable news items that we haven't posted:
For those whose mobile tech is a laptop or tablet PC, using a web browser has been a question of the incumbant Internet Explorer, or the upstart FireFox. Both browsers have seen updates this week; both touting increased features/ease of use and security. If you are one who uses your laptop/tabletPC in public wifi hotspots, then you should most definitely upgrade to the latest of either of these browsers for safe and effecient browsing.
- Download IE 7
- Download Firefox 2
The Gadget Pastor has recently done a review of the newly released Google Maps PalmOS application. I have it on my Treo 650 and its about as close to having a GPS without having GPS as you can get. Read the review, then download Google Maps for any mobile device (just point to this link via your mobile browser and it will let you know exactly the download your phone/PDA/smartphone would need).
We chatted some about FaithMobile some time ago, I checked out the site yesterday and notiiced a slew of new offereing and downloadable content. Most of it is designed for normal phones (not smartphones) and the prices seem quite reasonable for the type of content being offered. Check out FaithMobile for you or someone you know who could use a phone-reminder of God's heart for them.
A good way to keep up on some of the more popular and infulential topics in mobile technology is to check out the Carnival of the Mobilists. This week marked the 50th carnival and it was hosted at MobHappy. Check it out for a ton of other mobile tech articles (many of which just blow my mind about what is being done in different parts of the world).
A last news item that caught my eye recently was the subject of mobile created content and how that would be that thing that drives people to using mobile devices more, and there being a market for things like mobile Internet and mobile services. Check out the article at GigaOM, and then the nearly at the same time posted article at M-Trends. There is most definitely something brewing in terms of mobile content delievery.
A final note is something that is a bit more hands on and local. Right now the MMM team is spread out pretty much across the US (its really neat how God made that happen - there are some blessed folks on this team). But what is needed is some people who are located in the Baltimore, DC, and possibly Philly areas to be team members so that MMM can start extending services to local organizations. If you are located in or near one of these metro areas and would like to know a bit more about what I mean about establishing a local team, shoot us an email and we will be glad to give you the details in email-print. NOTE: this doesn't mean that the current team is being disbanded, only that MMM is looking to take the next steps in being a resource that is touchable (not just readable).
