We have the highest take up of e-commerce in Europe and we have a good response to new technologies, the example used being the Oyster Card. This is m-commerce, not mobile as a whole, but an interesting perspective. His presentation is downloadable from the <a href="http://www.retailevents.co.uk/MobileRetailing08/agenda.htm" rel="nofollow">Mobile Retailing 2008 agenda page</a>. London does have some great mobile startups (I'd like to add <a href="http://www.mymart.com/" rel="nofollow">MyMart</a> in Camden to the list :-). Google's building of a mobile development resource shouldn't be underestimated. Aren't we all playing catchup with Tokyo and Seoul though?

"Markets are always wrong short term, right long term" - they're a bit bipolar, but I think if opportunities do exist, people will grasp at them. I work as an independent consultant/contractor in the London area, and I've noticed an increase in people looking for things like people who know iphone development.

A lot of the work Michael Porter at Harvard Business School now does is around advising governments on how to encourage and develop clusters which implies that laissez faire might not be the best approach. Also, in the short-term markets are influenced by sentiment - the whole web 2.0 mini boom in London may be blinding individual economic actors (investors, entrepreneurs) to the opportunity in mobile?
