Mobile enterprise webinar today
This afternoon I'm moderating a webinar, "Web in Motion: Competitive Advantage through Mobile Web Applications," with Shubha Govil from Sybase iAnywhere. We're going to talk about making the case for mobile enterprise. As I've said before, I think mobile enterprise is a surprisingly undeveloped segment of the mobile marketplace. I included a sneak preview from the presentation below. Click here to register! We go live at 1pm ET today, Tuesday, October 17. There will be an archived version of the presentation up later today. Hope you can make it! -Eli

Echovox, a European mobile content firm, received $5M in funding from Newbury Ventures. The company will use the money to expand its operations and open an office in Paris.

Mobile start-up LimeLife received $5 million in first round funding. The company produces mobile content for women.

The Seven Network, an Australian TV channel, will invest AUS$2 million in mobile content start-up mNet.

Intel has invested an undisclosed amount in Mobilians, a Korean mobile payment firm.

There has also been quite a bit of consolidation in the mobile space. Sybase recently bought Extended Systems, Yahoo bought VerdiSoft, and NeoMedia bought MoBot (see below for details). Meanwhile, m-Wise plans to acquire a small to midsized mobile content provider in the near future to bundle with its mobile content delivery technology. - Eli
