Cramer ImageIf you are a fan of and an investor in the mobile web via smartphones and portable devices, then you do not even have to be a dedicated fan of Jim Cramer to become a fan of Jim Cramer for at least the time being.  On tonight’s MAD MONEY on CNBC, Cramer endorsed this move to the mobile web as the next investor opportunity as huge opportunity for many companies in the space.  But he also noted that he wants to buy the tech companies on pullbacks as he thinks the market for technology stocks is taking a little breather here.  Cramer believes that there is room for all of these major companies to make major cash as a result of the switch to newer and fast smartphones and mobile web devices.  He thinks there is room for all companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) for the iPhone, Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) for the Blackberry, and Palm Inc. (NASDAQ: PALM) for the new Pre smartphone.  He also noted QUALCOMM Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) as a winner in the space.
