We are doing a lot of Drupal work lately. Drupal is a very powerful Open Source software solution which allows very rapid development of new community and content sites. Many parts are pre-built, which dramatically lowers the cost of building and maintaining a web site.
Here are some interesting Drupal links if you are interesting in learning more on the technical side.
Some links we have found useful for developers wading into Android development:

Please contribute useful Android development sites to share with the community. Post them as comment and I will include and attribute them. (This will cut down on the spam).

So, I have had the opportunity to test an unlocked iPhone on the T-Mobile network. It is the older 2G service iPhone, but this is perfect for me as most of the t-Mobile coverage in my area is 2G anyhow. Besides, 2G runs with less power and if an application can run on the 2G network, it will definitely run on the 3G without an issue.
So far, so good. Now with a single SIM card, I can develop and test on both Andriod and iPhones without having to have 2 phones and 2 services. Definitely a nice situation to be in.
Here is a good article on Syncing Gmail, Google Contacts, etc.

The mobile web continues to grow dramatically. It is no longer possible (if it ever was in the past few years) to ignore this growing online population. It is critical to include Mobile Internet customers as well as social media in your business plans.

Major Changes in the Search World
Bing and Google will now (or will shortly) be indexing tweets near real time. This is a disruptive change to search and how businesses can leverage it. It will be interesting to see how today’s major search players handle short messages and what attributes they find most useful.
It is no longer possible for your business to ignore social media. Be sure that you are on enaged and therefore stay on the map of potential customers. Traditional SEO strategies will need to evolve to include an integrated traditional web and social media approach.
