Carnival of the Mobilists 152 is over at another of my stomping grounds, All About iPhone (no relation!). Leading off with a few homegrown AAS pieces, there are also some thought provoking items from other Carnival newcomers and regulars.

As usual for such events, there are a number of online resources with which to follow Nokia World 2008. The main landing page links to a Tangler discussion group, plus there’s a link to any press releases and live video will appear from 8.15am (GMT / UTC) on Tuesday. If you need reminding to ‘tune in’, there’s even a countdown timer and automated email system. Rafe will be reporting live from Barcelona - watch this space.
