If you’ve kept up with mobile technology in 2010, there’s no way you haven’t accessed your email via the web. Even for just a peek. On a friend’s phone… At dinner… While they were in the bathroom. There’s no denying it: in an unintentional homage of vaguely Biblical significance, the trend toward mobilizing your data online to the Big Guy in the Sky has become known as cloud computing. The dream?

As a new media aficionado with a fascination for the shift towards mobile technology, I was oddly amused by the Toronto Star report entitled *cue horror movie suspense music* Are apps stealing our minds? In the iPhone world alone, there are over a 100,000 apps with the a tag line “there’s an app for that.” Yes, this suggests that a simple piece of technology will offer you a blanket solution to all of life’s dilemmas, including boredom; so its no surprise we have a dependency on apps – they do everything for us. Dependent on a piece of technology? nothing new

Sony Ericsson need to produce some amazing handsets during 2010, because truth be told, over the last few years the handsets delivered under the Sony Ericsson name have usually been one of two things, either uninspiring or unreliable! Which is a shame, because handsets like the Sony Ericsson Satio deserve to be premium products with a loyal fanbase, and quite frankly the market needs Sony Ericsson, inspiring and pushing the competition, the same way the market needs the rejuvenated Motorola to do well, keeping the likes of Nokia and HTC, LG and Samsung on their toes. The end result will be we the consumer benefit.

It seems that T-Mobile will be refreshing their tariff line-up in February, looking to offer consumers ‘ultra flexibility’ with ‘great consumer offers’, which all sounds great until you notice that one of these ‘great consumer offers’ is the removal of all 12 month contract options! If the rumour is true, February will see the discontinuation of all Flext and Combi price plans, which will be replaced with a new range of pay monthly and SIM only deals. These tariffs will allow customers to choose from ‘flexible’ boosters of unlimited texts, landline calls, internet and roaming boosters, to build a price plan that offers more of what users need. Given the speed with which mobile technology develops these days, the loss of a 12 month contract option is a real blow, but there may be a light shining in the gloom of 36 month contract deals, in the shape of new telecoms reforms agreed by the EU back in December

The following is a guest column from Mark Jaffe, blogger for Mobile Mandala … I was reminded of an Italian proverb after my son beat me in yet another game of chess this past winter break “Once the game is over, the King and the pawn go in the same box”. It is a humbling thought for anyone or any entity with power. Power truly coexists with all the other forces of the political and economic world, despite the illusion of invincibility.

There are 3 phrases that have rarely been spoken in the same sentence recently: Jobs 2009,Social Media and Mobile Technology are the exception. According to a report by Indeed, 7 of the 10 fastest growing opportunities of 2009 were social media or mobile-tech related, with Twitter showing the strongest growth. This isn’t surprising, of course, as growth is relative and where we were before as social media was not nearly the buzzword in 2008 as it was in 2009. The important aspect here is that as 2010 rolls through, we should expect the gains to continue and the relationship between the economy and the social web to stay tied hand-in-hand. Until the “next big thing” comes out to replace sites like Twitter and Facebook as valid business needs, we shouldn’t expect anything to change.
