Russell Beattie on: Helping the Mobile Mashup Discussion

Good overview of the fusion of mobile and Web services.

Link: Russell Beattie Notebook – Helping the Mobile Mashup Discussion.

MashupCamp is actually going to have a discussion about Mobility, which I’m extremely happy to see. Here’s the current description of the session from the Wiki:

Consider the content and services that are being supported by today’s mashup API providers… events, places, relationships, media, messaging, search, commerce, and storage. Now match these with the functionality provided by the software components found on today’s most dominant device, the mobile phone. The telcos have so far failed in their attempts to provide a compelling and usable personalized experience that successfully integrates the obvious relationships between these offerings. This is a compelling opportunity that needs to be addressed by those interested in tearing down the walled gardens that have been erected by the proponents of the so-called Open Mobile Alliance (OMA).

So since I’m in London and can’t attend, I wanted to help direct this discussion a bit from here, and correct some issues I have with the description.
