A Suitable Mobile Mix

Since being invited to be a part of the Nokia Blogger Relations program, I've had the opportunity to review several eye-popping devices. Its even gotten me to admit that I wanted a bit more from my mobile devices, and my moves have reflected that.

As I to do my part in talking about mobile devices and their suitable (and many times not seen) applications. I aim for a view that speaks on more than just how they work best at my place - that intersection of faith and technology for me. I will highlight the things happening with mobile devices that should be considered by all of us (either in use or the changes in lifestyle). I won't shamelessly promote one product over another; but I will push the mess out of something that works for as long as it does.

So I sit writing this post, knowing that I want to do more, but not want to push readers away who might want to do something with their devices or setup that should be explored.

For example, some of you use Linux (in one or many of its various distributions), and I'd like to check in from time to time with what is mobile and relevant here.

Or really take things up a considerable notch and make that N95 purchase, and use the device at home on the TV and produce programs and materials that can go elsewhere to share Christ's heart and Gospel to all.

I don't know all that's out there so I need you to speak up and highlight those things. Same goes for everything really. I've tried to keep this from being a one man show, but because of things in God's control and not my own, the mix of mobile coverage isn't as varied as it could be.

So what I am asking is how MMM can keep a solid mobile mix? Still exploring the ins and outs of what this all means to the Body, but keeping the voice from sounding the same all the time. I invite you to contact us with products, story ideas, or even be a guest poster; or even just post a comment to an article if it gets you thinking/agreeing/disagreeing/etc.

At every intersection there is more than streets and signs. Life happens. As mobile and web technology have let us see, a lot can happen when people come together and converge on the truth of Christ in the world around us. Let's mix it up a bit folks :)
