Xconomy Launches Mobile Channel

Coming on the heels of a fantastic, jam-packed Mobile Madness 2012 event last Wednesday here in Cambridge, MA, Xconomy is pleased to announce the official debut of our new Mobile Channel.

The mobile sector—from apps to iPads—has been a growing part of our daily coverage. Our Mobile Madness conference, meanwhile, has been a mainstay in Boston since its launch four years ago and expanded this past December to Seattle. Given the tech community’s growing focus on mobile, we decided to create a dedicated home on Xconomy.com for news about this important topic. Thanks goes out to the folks at Deloitte Recap, the new channel’s charter underwriter.

As always, we will continue to include mobile in the mix of sectors that we cover in each of the six cities that make up the Xconomy network: Boston, Detroit, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle. But to stay on top of all the news from the mobile industry nationwide, please visit the Xconomy Mobile home page. You can also sign up for our new dedicated mobile e-mail newsletter or RSS feed to get all of the mobile news from around the Xconomy network delivered to your inbox or reader.

Thanks again to our charter mobile underwriter Deloitte Recap, and, as always, thank you to our readers, for making it possible.
