Mobile Point View hosts the Carnival for the first time. Aweh my bru! (Welcome!) It's vacation time around the Mobilists' world so let's head to to the beach...Pick up a snowcone and fries down on the 
boardwalk, open your umbrella, spread your towel--those of you from the upper crust slip into your cabanna (no worries, this ain't no Redneck Riviera)--and join some of the best global mobile content, comments and community of opinion influencers surfing the web as they gather to thrash on Mobile Point View's beachbreak.
Tide's rolling in, thankfully the line up's a zoo today, so grab a stepdeck and catch the first wave focusing on the consumer with "Isn't it time we put the customer at the centre of the mobile data value chain: A new value chain for the Mobile data industry" by Ajit Jaokar of Open Gardens. Hang ten and stick with consumer dudes by ridding the barrel of Abhishek Tiwari's coverage of the impending Google Phone in "First Free Mobile, Now Free Phones!" a follow up to his post last week at CoM #84, with cool pics brah. Here comes a righthander and Judy Breck at iCommons.org, "Sprint Ahead for Learning", where she covers a missed opportunity by Sprint to highlight the learning power of mobile. Rightous words, Jude. Darla Mack, aka Mobile Diva, feels caught inside between content providers and carriers' ability to universally render games to handsets with "Is it Me or is EA Mobile Just Not Getting it?" C. Enrique Ortiz from ...about Mobility, provides this week's Utopic Post: "The Dimension of Space & Movement in Mobile Applications" covering mobile gyroscopic inertia measures...shaka boggas submision.
Carve into the combo swell from Pocket Picks where Casper Field shoots the pier on both sides of the pond by speculating whether the UK will deregulate spectrum in "FCC Opens up Portion of US Airwaves: Will OFCom do the same in the UK?". Doubling back to Fraser MacInnes also at Pocket Picks who covers Apple's maneuvering for ad driven music services before UK regulators in "Ad-funded iTunes for our great grand-children?" And finally Pocket Picks' Chris Leonard covers how "Nokia Opens its first design centre in India."
Riding a Cnoid, Denis at WAP Review asks "Do Transcoders and the iPhone Make the Mobile Web Obsolete?" illuminating how full web browsers are affecting mobile technology. All bathemetry to me, brah. Debi Jones dials us in with a podcast interview at MobileMessaging2.0 covering Mobile Social Networking in "MoSoSo Experts Panel: MOKO, Twitter, Juice Caster" where she chats with Nick Desai of Juice Wireless, Biz Stone of Twitter & Paul Gruber of Loop Mobile. Paul Lamb of SmartMobs, does the final drop in "Smart Shopping Mobs" addressing consumer swarming buying behavior and how businesses are reacting to this phenomenon.
Dudes, the tide is rolling out! The next CoM hosts are Carlo Longino and Russell Buckley at MobHappy. Put out the bonfire, pack out the trash and all you mobile mobsters drop in at Carlo's & Russell's casa or at another weekly Carnival. All participants writing about mobile are welcome - these are public beaches. Thanks for the mullering-free visit and throwin' serious heat today! Joller rager--we're dunzo.
