Andy Moore, a dotMobi Certified Mobile Web Developer created a great plugin for Wordpress to make the site dotMobi compatible.
With the help of this plugin this site got 5 points (out of 5) at the dotMobi-Ready test.
This plugin is really great work!

Unlike traditional AJAX Web Frameworks, mojax Moblets do not run within a browser and are not subject to the availability and quality of a network connection. Also, unlike a web application running on a mobile device, a mojax moblet has access to lower level device features such as Camera API, Push Messaging, Bluetooth, Location Services, Contacts and more.
From my point of view mojax is a great project, which is in private beta at the moment, but really has the potential to become a interesting counterpart to Flash Lite. I’m looking forward to see how this project evolves. Maybe I find time to try it out by myself.

As you might know the European Union resolved to reduce cost for roaming.
Telcos are frightened to lose income - studies expect cuts of 2.4 Billion Euro. It isn’t a big surprise that telcos react in such a way.
Austrian Telcos are thinking about ways to counterbalance this cuts and expect the fall of the subvention of devices, but they agree in not increase the costs for national calls.
I absolutely welcome the reduce for roaming and I’m absolutely convinced that more calls will be made if prices fall and that telcos won’t have to compensate such high loses. Furthermore I often read and heard about the fall of subvention and nothing happened. So don’t panic, market will regulate this for us.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) will become a important field for web designers and marketers in the next years.
The website www.mobilesearchmarketing.com targets this aspect and provides several tips and guides.
I’m not sure if there is a big difference in SEO and SEM for mobiles or for the “normal” web. IMO this is the same and a good website has to fulfill both.
