Like many others, I have a smartphone and so I have my email, agenda, contacts, … with me on the road. Great. And I got access to the Windows Live services like Mail, Messenger & Search and even a Live.com page as well. But I really miss good content for mobile. Amazingly there’s not that much out there that is enabled for mobile. This shouldn’t be all that expensive though so why not? Your customers are going mobile, shouldn’t you as well?
BBC has got a decent mobile version, which I use mainly to follow the F1 races while I’m out, the other stuff is much too UK focused for me. Also TIME has a mobile version, but that’s no use for me at all. Local content? Business content related to Marketing, Online, … I don’t have any. Simon Andrews posted a top 10 mobile (applications) a while ago, but again apart from a mobile Wikipedia, there’s not much I’ll be using. And last but not least, Micropersuasion is available on mobile. Still, if anyone knows some good mobile ready sites on Belgian news or sites related to marketing, advertising, internet, … just let me know. I got some traveling ahead :-)

[...] a little over the last few months and I must say I like that one a lot. Maybe you remember that I asked for mobile content last year, and I can’t say the landscape changed a lot. Luckily I’m on the Deepfish [...]
[...] Apart from all that greatness, I’ve been a very active user of the mobile web for the last 6 years or so as well. First on WAP on my old Nokia 6310i for instance, later on Vodafone Live with a Sharp GX30. Back then I was still working on Kinepolis‘ new media strategy and we invested in this back then already. Today Kinepolis is still one of the very few Belgian companies with a decent mobile site, for which you got to give them credit. But even outside Belgium, there aren’t many mobile specific sites, which already resulted in a shout-out more than a year ago. [...]
