The folks at Site5 are helping me get the blog back in order. Not sure what occurred yet, still getting things back online.

On the rest of the handset makers. Pretty much the only thing holding back the iPhone from winding up in most consumer pockets is the price.

Not for long, Fortune is reporting a $200 price drop is coming.

Motorola, who has just been getting blasted all year saw their stock rise 2.4% yesterday and it wasn’t based on sales performance or some new handset that’s gonna drive consumers wild like Razor did. Nope, it was market players according to the WSJ.

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?

Looks like we made the Alltop Small Business Edition, thanks Guy and thanks Kim for the suggestion!

I think Google is starting to like me again, I discovered tonight that I have SiteLinks. Not really sure how they picked the pages that are highlighted though.

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?

If you haven’t seen the CloudTrade video it’s pretty funny. CloudTrade is a social mobile network that lets you share music, photos and videos.

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.

The Australian IT has reported that the University of Adelaide and m.Net have performed research leading them to believe that critical mass is about to occur with the mobile web in Australia.

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.
