This week is Microsoft's MIX10 conference. While I'm not attending in person, I am trying to catch the keynotes and as well as following some of the Twitter comments. In Scott Guthrie's opening keynote, there was a lot to be noted. It was clear that some of the big news was on Microsoft's efforts to take one more stab at the mobile market.
Over the last few days, I've had a number of statistics related to mobile devices come across my desk. For example, a press release from Prompt Communications for asknet included a few stats on mobile growth. For example, 2010 mobile sales are expected to top $1 billion. This was after an expectation that the mobile commerce market sales would top $750 million in 2009, a 117% growth.
Today Google announced Buzz. This will be added to Google. You'll find new icons on mobile google as well as find more on buzz at buzz.google.com. Google Buzz should allow you to share and communicate inside of Gmail and more. It extends what Gmail does with social networking. It tends to bring social media to gmail.
As a person running web sites, I get press releases on a regular basis. Being that the sites I oversee are focused primarily, on developers, it is no surprise that most of the release focus on developers and development. Of course, every now and then I get a press release that leaves me wondering a bit.
