Here are few of the useful mobile tools for entrepreneurs launched at 2008 CTIA Wireless convention.

 

1. Send money using your cell phone! Obopay announced new functionality that lets people send money to and receive money from anyone using any mobile phone with existing bank accounts. Before, mobile payments were a pain because the money lived in a separate mobile account and moving it to a regular account was cumbersome. No more. The company claims that there’s no catch. It does cost 10 cents to send any money (regardless of amount). Compared to traditional money transfer services like Western Union or online ones, it is a huge bargain.
