Sifting through all of the content regarding mobile and apps can be a chore. There's so much information out there, it's easy to feel like a kid in a candy store, eyes wide and mouth gaping at all there is to see. Thus, we thought we would share with you the content we found to be the most interesting and/or noteworthy over the past week. We do this every Friday, so be sure to check back often for some light reading to ease your way into the weekend (since Friday was Cinco de Mayo, we suggest kicking back with a margarita while checking out this week's blog).

Enjoy!
