Welcome to the 67th edition of the Carnival of the Mobilists - a weekly showcase of the best writing on topics related to mobile phones.

The Mobile Future - We have some great items this week. To start off, many mobilists are pondering what's next in this industry that is so rapidly evolving.

• Krisse at AllAboutSymbian asks, Do smartphones need to be anything more than a browser and a phone? A great look at whether web apps will dominate mobile as well as desktop computing.

• Bill Day on Apple’s three screens opportunity. Apple has become a content distribution powerhouse with iTunes. Can they leverage that into IPTV and mobile dominance too?

Content Creation - The craft of software development as it applies to mobile.

• On C.Enrigue Ortiz' Mobility Weblog, CEO explores the opportunities and challenges for developers in getting their content on the most valuable of all mobile screen real estate in The Next Battlefront (for Mobile Applications).

• At VisionMobile, Liz Laffan has a comprehensive piece on a couple of tough choices that need to be made at the start of any mobile development project in To Build or to buy? To Patent or not to?
