Breakfast briefing: Apple and RIM milk the mobile market

• Have the iPhone and the BlackBerry beaten the rest of the mobile industry into a corner? One Deutsche Bank analysis, reported in the Wall Street Journal, suggests that between them the two companies are responsible for 35% of profit in the mobile phone industry. That's despite only registering 3% of worldwide sales - proof that there is a lot of money at the high-end of the market and very little at the bottom.

• This month's Wired magazine has a big piece about possible moves from the Obama White House to examine Google's growing influence. I didn't spot anything revelatory, but it's a good read and clearly an important subject.

• I can't get enough of this post from Dangerous Minds featuring a hypnotic music video from 1977 - the handiwork of French band Droids, and apparently inspired by Star Wars. As we remember the incredible feat of Apollo 9, it's clear that space is where all the fun happens.
