Interestingly, you can either run [your own](http://hellyeahbitch.com/mobile/?ref=chrismessina.me) rivers [without relying](http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/new-york-times-for-your-mobile-phone/?ref=chrismessina.me) on Dave to [offer the content](http://www.scripting.com/2006/08/21.html?ref=chrismessina.me#newMobileStuff) or [set up your own](http://www.xfruits.com/factoryjoe/feed/?ref=chrismessina.me) at xFruits, as [John Walker](http://www.jwalkerlive.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) [suggests](http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/new-york-times-for-your-mobile-phone/?ref=chrismessina.me#comment-78619).
