In Om Malik's post Why Facebook’s Future Is Mobile, I found the following:

With the rise of superphones such as Apple’s iPhone, the BlackBerry Bold and Nokia’s E71 and N96 devices, we are at the cusp of a new era in which the mobile and the wired web converge. This convergence, when married to location-based services, would create a new real-time and highly contextual Internet experience.

I recently pointed out that “as we transition to an increasingly mobile world, the location beacon takes the role of the TCP, and most mobile services (and applications) find their context from this location beacon.” In this brave new world, the browser-centric method of “search, find and consume” is quaint at best. These superphones, driven by location beacon and live Internet connections, need to be able to display relevant data with a lot of serendipity.

The fourth annual Mobile Sunday - an unofficial, informal and generally cool and funky gathering of mobile bloggers and their chums - will be taking place in Barcelona on the eve of this year’s Mobile World Congress (formerly known as 3GSM) on Sunday, February 15, 2009, starting at 7pm CET.

Sadly I cannot make it to the Mobile Sunday to see all the good people around Rudy, but at least we can make it easier to bookmark the place. Scan the QR Code:



You naturally can also type the address in your mobile phone - but your mobile phone only for now : http://dokodare.kaywa.com/place/202031520

PS: If you like to bookmark the place, write a 140 letter message at the place location, check in etc., you better open up an ID. And if you have a question, do not hesitate to ask.

PS2: Two posts you don't want to miss:
Google Next Victim Of Creative Destruction? (GOOG) by John Borthwick
and
Google Latitude by John Battelle

Google Latitude arrived today. Mobile Industry Review and some others think this makes the space more interesting and more dangerous as well. I agree, but still think we are in the very early days with LBS. Still, Google accomplishes where Telcos talk.
