Dear friends, subscribers, readers and other randoms:

As you’ve noticed, MobiRiot hit a brick wall on December 12, 2008.  Without boring you with all the details of my personal life that you’re not interested in, just know that the downtime has been unavoidable.  Due to my previous employer closing its doors I was forced to scramble to resurrect another website of mine and look for a new job at the same time.  I’d like to thank the numerous developers and readers who have contacted me to show their support and concern.

However, fear not!  Your friendly neighborhood Mobi is gearing up for a return to glory.  We’ll be back (Terminator voice) in the very near future.

We are looking for contributors (writers and video review folks) who are willing to volunteer to get MobiRiot back to it’s previous levels.  If you’re interested, please email us at MobiRiot@gmail.com.

Thanks for your patience, and here’s to 2009!  MobiRiot will be baaaaaaaack!
