US Press Don't Get Mobile
Mobitopia disects David Coursey's take on the 5 forces driving mobile technology. Mobitopia's gripe is that Coursey's top 5 list is mostly about mobile PCs, not mobile phones. They make some interesting points, but the points are less relevant to the US market which is where Coursey's remarks are directed. It's not a matter of "getting mobile", it's a matter of how you define it. So while I agree with Mobitopia that Bluetooth, Java, and Symbian are important mobile forces, sadly they aren't so much in the US. That could change, but it won't happen till they take stronger hold in Europe first.![Hide This Hide this](https://ii.techdirt.com/s/t/i/topclose.png)
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
