Bill Gates' Legacy: Outmaneuvering The Competition
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKf0EV
George Washington. Babe Ruth. Gandhi. Bill Gates? Say what you
will about that bloated operating system Gates has been hawking
for the past 25 years, history will show that Microsoft's
cofounder and chairman belongs among the world's great champions
and leaders.

Nokia Makes Stronger Push For Business Customers In U.S.
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKo0Ee
On the heels of last week's news that Nokia is selling its E and
N series devices through Dell's Web site, today Nokia made its
enterprise phones much more widely available. Nokia is partnering
with a number of distribution channels to push its Wi-Fi-enabled
E61i and E65 to business users. But this tactic won't affect
iPhone sales come Friday.

smartphones. Get ready for some free mobile phone calls.

Will Widgets Make The Mobile Web Better?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLCu0Ec
The iPhone holds two big promises for the mobile Web. The first
is that users will begin to rely on it as much as they currently
do the desktop Web. And the second is that widgets will be the
answer where previous attempts to improve mobile usability, like
WAP, failed.

Brits Choose Their Mobile Phones Over 1 Million Pounds
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKr0Eh
OK, it's official. You can tell mobile phones have become
embedded in the very fabric of our existence when not even the
jingle jangle of cold, hard cash will pry them from our hands.
Carphone Warehouse's Mobile Life survey confirms this and a few
other interesting tidbits about the importance of mobile phones.

Apple Offers Web Video Tour Of The iPhone
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLCH0Er
It's just one week until the launch of the iPhone and to mark the
final seven days of waiting, Apple has released a Web-based
"guided tour" designed to further whet the appetites of Macheads
around the world.

What's All The BREW-Ha-Ha?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKs0Ei
Last minute happenings at BREW include Javaground's announcement
that its application allows developers to port Java into BREW and
the ITC's spoil-sport ruling that it will not stay the ban it
levied against Qualcomm.

GPS Apps Lead The Way At BREW
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKt0Ej
One thing there is no shortage of at the BREW conference in San
Diego is GPS and LBS offerings. Meet six companies who want to
make sure you never have to rely on a gas station attendant for
directions again.

Qualcomm Wants To Foster Better Relationships Between Hardware
OEMs And Developers
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKu0Ek
While Qualcomm is not exactly trying to be a matchmaker like your
Aunt Tilly, it hopes the new BREW Client 4-Series developer tools
will help hardware manufacturers and developers work together
better. The end goal? Cooler stuff for mobile phones that is
easier to make and costs less.

Beware Of Sticky Fingers When BlackBerrys Handle State Secrets
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FK2r0EH
We're not at war with France, at least not the last time I
checked, but that doesn't mean that the French want their state
secrets coursing through the U.S. telecommunications
infrastructure, courtesy of French government officials addicted
to les BlackBerrys. Sure, BlackBerrys come with built-in
encryption, but is that enough when you really, really don't want
anyone to get their hands on the information you're carrying around?

iPhone Backlash Misses the Point
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKv0El
Fake Steve Jobs is not someone to suffer indignity lightly. And
lately he's had plenty to wax indignant about. We refer, natch,
to the media backlash that has risen to a veritable tide of
negativity in advance of the iPhone launch a mere 9 days away
(and no, I am not blogging from a sleeping bag in front of my
local AT&T Wireless store).

iPhone Will Not Offer The Full Web
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKw0Em
Forget all the hype we've heard. It seems that the iPhone will
not offer the full Web, after all. At least not according to
Apple's developer specifications.

Qualcomm Wants Marketers To Take Mobile Content Off-Deck
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKx0En
Qualcomm has embraced off-deck mobile content and entered the
mobile marketing game. Today Qualcomm announced a new service,
called BREW BrandXtend Signature Solution, designed to let major
brands take their mobile content directly to their customers. As
marketers embrace the third screen, many now want to bypass the
carriers and . Earlier this month Sprite announced what may be
the boldest example of this yet, a new mobile social networking
service called the Sprite Yard. In order to better get a handle
on Qualcomm's move into direct mobile marketing, I sat down with
Mitch Oliver, VP of Solutions & Marketing, Qualcomm Internet Services.

Barack Obama Campaign Goes Mobile For Election 2008
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKy0Eo

organize volunteers. Looks like Election 2008 is going mobile.

AT&T Launches Video Sharing Service, But Not For The iPhone
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLKz0Ep
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson yesterday at the NXTcomm conference
showed off AT&T's new video sharing service. The "first-ever
service" in the U.S. allows users to share live video over their
cell phones while talking. While this is cool, guess what, it
won't work on the iPhone. And this video service is way too expensive.

WiMax To Replace Wi-Fi And 3G For The Enterprise?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLK10Ec
The study about mobile WiMax, which was conducted by Motorola,
found that 49% of respondents said they would use it to surf the
Internet or read email. On top of that, 45% of enterprise users
would use it for work-related purposes. But just how important is
the ubiquity of wireless coverage?

Qualcomm Offers Companies The Chance To Market, Sell Services Off-Deck
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLK20Ed
In the first of what is sure to be a flurry of news from the BREW
conference in San Diego this week, Qualcomm has announced its
BREW BrandXtend Signature Solution. The offering is aimed at
brands looking to make their products available to mobile users
both on- and off-deck. Will companies take a sip of this new brew?

Bye-Bye E62, We Hardly Knew You
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLK30Ee
AT&T is sending the E62 out to the smartphone retirement village.
That's right, the smartphone that was destined to kill the
BlackBerry is now nothing more than a memory in the minds of
mobile geeks and abandoned enterprise users. What happened?

Mobility And Enterprise 2.0: Are These Two Ready To Play Together?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLK40Ef
I just returned from a panel on business mobility at Enteprise
2.0 called "Integrating the Mobile Worker." Everyone there seemed
eager to learn one thing: Is business mobility ready for
Enterprise 2.0? The answer: You'd better make sure all those
Enterprise 2.0 applications can work on smartphones.

Will Enterprise 2.0 Kill Corporate E-Mail?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FKeQ0EZ
One of the themes that emerged during this morning's keynote
sessions at Enterprise 2.0 was how Web 2.0 technologies act as
new communications tools. Some technologists (including a few of
the speakers this morning) suggest that Web 2.0 could kill e-mail
for consumers. Could technologies like social networks, blogs,
Skype, and IM kill e-mail for businesses as well?

Mobile Web Browser Wars Heat Up With Addition Of Revised Opera Mini
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FKcx0EC
Unlike the regular Web browsers (you know, IE, Firefox, Safari),
mobile Web browsers aren't really in a pitched "war" for market
share. I say it's high time they had a war of their very own,
though, and Opera is firing the first shot with its newly revised
Mini 4 Web browser. Does Opera sing high notes, or fall flat?

All Knowledge Is Social At Enterprise 2.0
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FKeR0Ea
I am at the Enterprise 2.0 conference today in Boston. Enterprise
2.0 is a relatively new term -- it was first coined in March last
year. But it has captured the imaginations of technologists and
vendors around the world in just 15 months and gone memetic. But
what does Enterprise 2.0 really mean for businesses?

Dell's Mobile Phone Strategy: Selling High-End Nokia Devices
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLK50Eg
This isn't quite the line of thinking people had in mind a few
months ago when tossing around the idea of Dell entering the
smartphone business. Dell's small business Web site is now
selling unlocked E and N series Nokia phones. If you ask me, the
deal is better for Nokia than for Dell.

Why Doesn't Wi-Fi Work On Many Corporate Campuses?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLK60Eh
While some Wi-Fi evangelists wax poetic about the potential of
muni Wi-Fi and free broadband wireless for the masses, I have a
much simpler question: Why is Wi-Fi access on most corporate
campuses so bad? Corporate Wi-Fi has been around now for five to
six years in most work environments, but it's far from usable
most of the time. Coverage is often lousy (why is there access in
some cubes but not in that corner where you always have that
annoying weekly staff meeting) and sometimes it's just impossible
to get on. Why can't corporate Wi-Fi, you know, just work?

Yahoo CEO Out: Does This Mean Panama Is A Flop?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FKcr0E5
Yahoo CEO Terry Semel resigned today in a move that sent
shockwaves through the Web. Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang will
replace Semel at the top spot. Despite Semel's best efforts --
buying Overture and building Panama -- Yahoo hasn't been able to
keep up with Google in terms of search or online ad growth.
Today's announcement opens up plenty of new questions.

The Only Way Ahead For WiMax
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBADD0Hi7YQ0G4U0FLK70Ei
While I had my head down cranking out a feature on Intel's
ultra-mobile future last week, Sprint Nextel chairman and CEO
Gary Forsee for the first time raised doubts about the future of
Sprint's WiMax network project. According to the Wall Street
Journal, it appears that a spin-off or a joint venture of some
kind with Clearwire could be in the offing, which could well be
the only way that WiMax will actually get off the ground in this country.
