Tarek Abu-Esber is hosting this week’s Carnival at his very interesting blog, tarek speaks mobile. This is another case where the Carnival has lead me to a great but new (to me) site. Tarek’s emphasis is the Symbian S60 platform and his site is full of mouth watering images of the latest hardware (that we will probably never see here in the US – sigh) along with insightful articles on hardware, software, the mobile business and it’s future.

The latest Carnival is a great one. Two posts I particularly enjoyed were: Leonard Low’s on the 2D code’s educational potential – where I learned that Microsoft is adopting Japan’s QR Code as it’s 2D standard, and Stephanie Rieger’s comprehensive overview of the mobile business and mobile culture in Thailand. Congratulations also to Andreas Constantinou whose piece on Customization versus Personalization won Post of the Week honors. Head on over to the Carnival of the Mobilists #51.
