Mobile platforms, app stores, acquisitions and banking are the posts headlining at the Carnival of the Mobilists #202, which is hosted this week by Mobile Strategy Blog, a site dedicated to understanding and navigating the mobile ecosystem.

I encourage you to explore the content contributed by COM regulars and newcomers including MOPocket (bursting back on the scene after a long break with an in-depth look at Windows Mobile 6.5.1 and an exclusive briefing with Microsoft) and David Eads (a newcomer with a fresh new analysis recent developments in Canada’s mobile banking space.

As the COM’s new “keeper of the tents” I am pleased to report we now have a presence on Twitter (@COTMobilists), the first step in a strategy to communicate our collective ideas and recruit more bloggers. Please also check out the new schedule for 2010. After you have contributed to COM twice you may also host the COM at your site – a great way to raise profile and increase traffic.

I invite you to familiarize yourself with COM’s mission and principles (quite simply to promote the best in mobile blogging) posted on the website and get involved!

Over the next weeks I will proactively reach out to bloggers and contributors to ask for  input to make sure 2010 is an exciting and eventful year for COM. If you have ideas regarding recruitment, events and sponsorship – and any other steps we must take to make COM a vibrant organization with a (combined) voice that matters – please contact me directly (peggy@msearchgroove.com).
