At the end of 2008, the most popular post on this blog visited by readers covered Google's MyLocation service. We learned this year Google's Cell-ID data source originates from wireless sensors mounted on their street cars, confirmed shortly after other 'wild' speculation surfaced. Confirmed indeed, the entire LBS tech supplier and value chain has been consolidated under Google. Mountain View is serious about owning this mode of mobile Search, and organizing the necessary geo info to make it universally accessible is a spare-no-expense pursuit. 

Anyway... like last year, a Google topic this year again wins the most visited and popular post on this blog for 2009 - "How The Nexus One Could Destroy Conventional Mobile Industry Supply Chain Economics". However, unlike last year, I won't further speculate about the Nexus One. I'm done speculating about Google (week-after-week innovations speak for themselves). Plus, we should all know more about the Nexus One in a couple weeks upon release.

At this point, I'm thrilled to see mobile industry US-company wins for Qualcomm's Snapdragon offering (they've earned it) and for a cloud-sync mobile era that Google is leading in lieu of other mobile leaders seemingly caring less about either. I'm also expecting exciting things for 2010. This year looks like the breakout year for contextual voice, mobile VoIP, and over-the-top data-driven smart voice offerings. Maybe we'll even see Apple do a connected mobiletop for widgets and connect that iPhone mobile computer to network mobility. Novel! ;-)
