Bluetooth 2.x is getting somewhat old in the tooth – it has been around for over two years. Its successor Bluetooth 3.0 has been certified for some time, but has not hit the road so far. It looks like this will change in the very near future – the Bluetooth SIG has just certified a Samsung phone with a Bluetooth 3.0 radio: Further information can be had at the URL below: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=16289

I wrote recently about the concept of location becoming more important than standard SEO in terms of mobile search, but with the proliferation of mobile apps becoming a de-facto branding method for many advertisers entering the mobile channel, optimization is taking on an entirely different role. A great article published by Patricia Brusha on HospitalityNet discusses mobile apps and their growing popularity among marketers, and posses the simple question “could apps be the new search?”  She describes the current state of mobile apps and likens it to a time 10 years ago when Websites were gaining popularity.  At that time, consumers would ask a business “do you have a website?” and usually be quite impressed when the business would say yes.  Today, not having a website means you’re really not a business, and the same concept will soon evolve with mobile apps as well.

Ford Motor Company, in an attempt to drive interest in its completely redesigned 2010 Taurus, launched a national mobile campaign at the end of last year that ended with an overall CTR of 20%, and reached a total mobile audience of over 1 million consumers. The campaign, powered by Mobile Posse, utilized full-color, full-screen creatives to showcase the exterior design of the new Taurus and highlighted select engineering and interior features- including the available 365-HP Ecoboost V6 engine, radar-enabled technologies, and massaging seats.  By the end, nearly half of Mobile Posse’s unique users clicked on a Ford ad during the campaign. The campaign was the first by an automaker to utilize Mobile Posse’s idle screen “click-to-mobile web” functionality, which enables consumers to launch a complementary mobile website with a single click.  After viewing the Ford Taurus ad, users were invited to visit Ford’s mobile website to find a local dealer.

So far, Palm’s Pre has been knocked off in China. In the rest of the world, no manufacturer felt motivated to touch the form factor so far. Given that the folks at Alcatel’s always had a slightly strange taste (I knew an insider there), the look of the OT-980 does not surprise me too much: According to the French site frandroid , the box will drop in four to five months. It will have an MSM7227 CPU, 192MB of RAM and a QVGA screen

The Mobile Marketing Association has revealed pans to restructure into business units in its operating regions, which include Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Latin America and North America. As a critical component of the MMA’s restructuring effort, the “roles and responsibilities” of managing directors in their respective regions will expand to focus more intensely on “local needs.” The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), a leading non-profit trade association, was established to “lead the growth of mobile marketing and its associated technologies.” By restructuring the MMA to follow mobile marketing’s growth into newer, and more localized territories, the MMA will likely serve more efficiently and effectively in its capacity. “The restructuring enables us to address the growing popularity of mobile marketing and our increasing membership all over the world, while enabling a measure of ‘geographic specificity’ to how the organization operates,” said Federico Pisani Massamormile, interim MMA CEO.
