Unlike in Rio, the Carnival of the Mobilists knows no off-season. The busy people who make up the mobile-focused blogosphere have cranked out another quality CoM, #24 to be exact.

Among those opening up a can of mobile whoopa** this week are:

MTW commenter Tomi Ahonen on Vodafone's strategy

Darla Mack on excise taxes

Justin Oberman on....excise taxes

Emily from picturephoning.org on Hedy Lamarr

And the hits just keep coming. Thanks to everyone for raising the bar again.

Next week, follow the trail of discarded batteries and Red Bull empties over to Golden Swamp.
