		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret, I love mobile, smart, cell technology. It&#8217;s intriguing and it&#8217;s been so for years, even though the year of mobile has never truly arrived. What does that mean, anyway? What will the year of mobile look like? Has anyone ever defined it and if they have why haven&#8217;t they shared it with [...]]]></description>
