Acquisitions of development companies
Two news stories about acquisitions of companies with mobile application and mobile service development competence, not the least in Java ME and located in India.

As many (most?) future consumer services will rely on client/server setups, with an application (Java ME, and to a lesser degree Symbian OS, Windows Mobile or Linux, yet also Ajax and Flash) in the phone, and the development companies tend to be small, with little stock value compared to the buyers, and often without its own products (often consulting/oursourcing type of companies), it makes sense to buy the best competence that's out there now, and merge with a more market-driven organisation to secure that competitive services can be launched quickly.
