Two recent (and relatively quiet) mobile industry news caught my attention:
Sybase/Mobile 365 – Sybase acquires Mobile 365. Mobile 365, a messaging infrastructure provider, will be operating as Sybase Mobile 365, a wholly-owned subsidiary. This will give Sybase an edge in mobile infrastructure, as Mobile 365 has in place the operators relationships, infrastructure, and customer base. I've used (integrated with) Mobile 365 in the past to provide server-side (text) message delivery.
MySpace/UIEvolution – MySpace has decided to go beyond MNVOs (Helio) and into the handset mainstream by making a deal with UIEvolution to develop MySpace Mobile. UIEvolution is the same company that created ESPN MNVO mobile experience. This deal will allow MySpace to maximize their customer reach. This is a smart move by MySpace, and congrats to UIEvolution for the win.
