- Mobile Search And Web Use Climbing Rapidly
Two reports came out today that detail how quickly users are
adopting the mobile Web and the tools that it offers. According
to ABI Research, mobile search grew by 14% from 2007 to 2008, and
Opera says that it saw double-digit gains in the use of its
mobile Web browser between December and January.

- Opera Brings Gears Support To Mobile Browser
Google Gears is a great tool to have if you need to access
certain Google or other Web services and there's no Internet
connection available. Opera has extended the ability to use Gears
to its Opera Mobile 9.5 browser, bringing new potential to the
offline powers of mobile phones.

- Nokia Mulling Laptop Business
Nokia's CEO recently said that the company is thinking about a
future in laptops. Can the Finnish maker of cell phones
successfully make the leap from cell phones and Internet tablets
to full-featured laptops?
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=33&m=31769836&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDYxNzU3NzcS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Android Users Can Look Rich, Too
Remember that $1,000 iPhone App "I Am Rich?" The app showed a
glowing red jewel, and ... well, that's about it. The point was
that you could afford it and show it off. Now Android users can
have that same kind of fun, and you'll also be able to get a
recession-friendly discount as well.

- Did Steve Ballmer Just Cut The Legs Off Windows Mobile 6.5?
Speaking yesterday, Steve Ballmer revealed that Microsoft will
release Windows Mobile 7 in the year 2010. With Windows Mobile
6.5 devices not hitting the market until the end of 2009, why
would anyone bother upgrading to WinMo 6.5, when WinMo 7 is right
around the corner?

- Microsoft Confirms Windows Mobile 7 Release In 2010
Just a week after Windows Mobile 6.5 was announced at Mobile
World Congress, Steve Ballmer spoke at a strategic update meeting
and said that Windows Mobile 7 was coming in 2010.

- Google Vs. Symbian: 'My Linux Is More Open Than Your Linux'
It looks like a war of words has broken out between Google and
the Symbian Foundation over which mobile platform is truly more
open. Is there really a right answer to this debate?
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=22&m=31769836&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDYxNzU3NzcS1&mt=1&rt=0

- BlackBerry E-Mail On Windows Mobile
RIM announced a BlackBerry on Windows Mobile Service at Mobile
World Congress, according to TheStreet.com. If you are tied to
BlackBerry e-mail but prefer a device that has a bit more
computing power, this solution may work for you.

- AT&T Wireless Customer Charged $28,000 To Watch Football Game
Taking your cell phone to other countries can be a recipe for
disaster if you don't take the right steps ahead of time. One
AT&T customer learned the hard way that data roaming charges are
no joke.

- Mobile Microfinance: Its Time Has Come (Video)
Very few of us get to see our daily drudgery contribute to
something politically, environmentally, or sociologically
charged, to a cause with greater implications than the outcome of
driving the machinery of Brand X or Company Y; sleepless nights
reimagining business processes, building customer portals,
renegotiating a key vendor contract, all for company, livelihood,
or a write-up in HR's internal newsletter.

- Stolen WinMo 6.5 Phone A Great Case Study For Mobile Security
Last week during Mobile World Congress, a prototype HTC phone
with an early build of Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 was lifted
from Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo. In response, Microsoft wiped the
device remotely. This example proves why mobile security needs to
be taken seriously.

- What Better Use For An iPhone But To Drive A Car With It?
This week at the Geneva Motor Show, a Swiss company called
