Whoa, Moto!

HellomotoReliable push email on your phone just moved one step closer to reality.  Motorola finally ponied up the cash for Good Technology, a leader in the mobile push arena.  This should position M nicely for the good ol' fashioned market share punch up with RIM that's bound to hit sooner rather than later.

Moto has already been using Good on the Q so they know what they're jumping into.  Personally we welcome our new Moto-Berry overlords.  One device please!  And make it sexy...  and easy to hold on to... and full of murderous nanobots that will disperse at the click of the send button, swarming out of the MicroSD slot in an evil cloud of death that consumes our enemies before they even know what hit them.  A decent flash for the camera wouldn't hurt either.

Verizon <3's YouTube!

Verizon1_1First things first - let's give the fools at MotleyFool credit for the best headline so far.  We thought of it second, swears.  'Can YouTube Me Now?'  *slaps knee*  Nice one Motleys!

While it's not the first team-up in the new economy space, tis certainly the largest so far.  It makes us wonder who is getting the money for every YT Vcast stream on your phone.  Some of YT's biggest stars are already gravitating towards revenue sharing models like Revver, so how will they feel when their clips are being consumed en masse, sans watermark and they aren't getting a cut?  Maybe Mark Cuban had a point after all.

SCRILLA, PLZ?
