Things have been going fantastic so far. It’s given me a lot more insight into what’s happening on the mobile web than any of the other stuff I’ve worked on. Omar is great to work with, and I got a chance to meet Russell Buckley and have some great conversations over the last week. So today we just signed the papers today to make me an official AdMobber! I’m sure that means I’ll be soapboxing about mobile web stuff even more than I have been so far. Right now however I want to let you know that we’re looking for a few more people for the team. We’re looking for engineers for the server side (LAMP stuff) as well as sales folks. Drop me a line at mike at rowehl dot com if you’re interested.

At some point in the not-distant future, we'll probably be probing the PDA-like applications on cell phones because so much functionality is being stuffed into cells. " Hope this helps. Follow-up:

The authors are Project Director Lee Rainie and Pew Research Center Director of Survey Research Scott Keeter. The report starts out with a survey sample of features that cell users want and wish they had. For example, 4% of users survey use a feature on their phones to get mobile maps, and 47% don't use the feature now but would like to have it. Many other statistics are reported about general usage. The survey focuses on cell phones with internet usage, however contact with them might reveal that a PDA survey is in the wings.

I appreciate that puts O2 and other operators in a super-big category, but then again, they should be in their own classification at this point.
