Relatedly several users have also mentioned that Google plans to start selling ads for cell phone-targeted websites. "The company said that its new product, AdSense for Mobile, would establish a cellphone advertising network in which Google would match ads with the content of mobile Web pages, much as it does online.

    Is it just me or did someone else read that as a "Google Powerpoint Competition". For a second there I lost all respect for Google thinking they were hosting a contest on who can make the prettiest set of slides :D.
