I've been watching Yahoo's recent moves in Mobile and following their new VP of Mobile's blog (Christian Lindholm), and Yahoo seems to be in a prime position to merge their Web 2.0 leadership (Flickr, Del.icio.us, etc) with Mobile, to reinvent the whole thing. We know it's not going to come from one of the old walled-garden carriers-- they're network builders, consumer marketing oriented, and know little to nothing about software and the new open, social Web paradigms that will drive mobile data. I think Yahoo's got a real chance to lead Mobile 2.0 if they can put these new pieces together. Apple's also one to watch this year...
