Commercials can be annoying if they distract you or take all the focus, but they finance quite a lot; I can’t imagine anyone disagreeing. This is not a discussion whether commercials are entitled to exist or not, but merely a post of one of the consequences that the actually do exist.

ABI Research published for some time ago an article regarding mobile marketing and Google recently published a plan of mobile advertising. With these articles in mind, I started to wonder whether some kind of cooperation with OpenMoko and Google was possible.

Of course not to force someone to receive commercials if they don’t want, but instead of using alternative channels with another purpose originally, it could be interesting to make some kind of optimal channel for commercials on mobiles. Clearly it’s something trendy right now, and why not try to take advantage of that?

Now I’ve finally ordered an OpenMoko-phone, a Neo 1973 (Advanced edition) to be specific. I’ve followed the project from the side for some time now, and five minutes ago I hit the “Confirm”-button.

I’m really looking forward to receive it so I can start to play with it I’ll of course try to write something about it in this blog.
