Why Google Won't Sell A gPhone
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4o0ER
This was a rare week when a new rumor about the long-awaited
gPhone from Google arriving ANY MOMENT NOW did not emerge. If I
had a nickel for every time a blogger has announced that the
prospective device has been "confirmed," I'd have a lotta
nickels. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say: It ain't happening.

Apple iPhone Update 1.1.1 Has Been Hacked
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4p0ES
Faster than a speeding bullet, a pair of hackers who go by the
names of "dinopio" and "Edgan" appear to have successfully hacked
an iPhone with the 1.1.1 software and firmware upgrade. When is
Apple going to give up?

Will Apple Open The iPhone When Leopard Ships?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4q0ET
If you haven't had enough iPhone-mania this week, get ready for
some more. The latest iPhone rumor claims that Apple will unlock
the iPhone when its new OS, Leopard, ships. Why would Apple
suddenly open the iPhone now?

iPhone Bricks Prove Apple Isn't Ready For The Business Market
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4r0EU
InformationWeek has been taking a look at Apple in the business
market. While Apple has always been big in certain verticals --
publishing and education, to name two -- it's been weak in
corporate IT as a whole. No matter what the Apple fans claim,
this week's fiasco with bricked iPhones proves that Apple still
isn't ready for the business market.

Symbian And ARM Go Multicore, Future Smartphones To Be Faster
Than Superman
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4s0EV
Amid the furor over you-know-what this week, some genuine news
that's actually pretty cool occurred. Symbian and ARM announced
that future Symbian devices will support multiple CPU cores. (I
don't know about you, but I am still waiting for quantum
processors to take over the universe.) In the meantime, Symbian
smartphones will get a serious boost in performance come 2010.

Has Apple Jumped The Shark And Gone Rotten?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4t0EW
What should have been another glorious moment in the sun for
Apple is quickly turning into a blemish that won't go away.
Rather than bask in the victory of the iPhone, Apple appears to
have undermined itself by bricking modified iPhones. Is this the
beginning of the end?

iPhone Brick Debate Is About Consumer Rights And Smartphone Freedom
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4u0EX
Many Over The Air readers do not seem to understand what is at
stake in the debate over Apple and the iPhone bricks. This isn't
an argument about contracts and Terms of Service. This isn't a
debate about personal responsibility. This is about consumers'
rights and, specifically, consumers' rights to control their own
computing devices.

Microsoft Sounds Off On The gPhone And The FCC Spectrum Auction
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4v0EY
Welcome to an action-packed edition of Take 5, a regular feature
where we at Over The Air ask an industry insider five questions
about their company and the mobile business market as a whole.
This week we focus on the gPhone. Our guest is Scott Rockfeld,
group marketing manager at Microsoft.

FCC Chair Must Face Down The Carriers In 700-MHz Auction Flap
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4w0EZ
I have wondered in this space before whether FCC chairman Kevin
Martin has the, uhh, intestinal fortitude to pull off what will
undoubtedly be seen as the defining task of his career: seeing
through the auction of valuable 700-MHz spectrum so that it
benefits consumers, breeds competition in the carrier-dominated
U.S. wireless industry, and brings in many billions to the U.S.
Treasury. Judging from events of the last month, the answer seems
to be "Nope."

'Brick' Enters Formal English Lexicon As Slang For A Useless iPhone
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4x0Ea
Did you ever think you would read the word 'brick' so many times
in one week? Not only is it a noun (this brick used to be an
iPhone), but it is also a verb (he bricked his iPhone), and
adjective (that bricked iPhone doesn't work). It also happens to
be a town (yo, shout out to New Jersey). It has yet to become a
curse word (Brick you!).

Apple iPhone Bricking Update Disables Bluetooth Headset Indicator
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4y0Eb
Earlier today my colleague Alex Wolfe blogged that the number of
complaints for the software updates on the iPhone were beginning
to lighten. Now, however, it looks as though software update
1.1.1 is breaking the Bluetooth headset indicator on the iPhone
for many users.

The iPhone Update Woes Are Not Unique
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY4z0Ec
As any long-time Apple user knows, Jobs and Co. offer frequent
updates to the base Apple operating system, iPod software, iTunes
software and other patches, plugs, and fixes. Not all of them
have gone smoothly. So why all the bad press just for the iPhone?

Those Stuck With iPhone Bricks Should Blame Apple, Not AT&T
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY410EP
Among the Apple fans, bloggers, and general tech geeks there seem
to be two sides to the iPhone bricking debacle: Those who blame
Apple and those who blame AT&T (NYSE: T). So who is the guilty party?

Next Generation iPhone Could Have An Intel Inside
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY420EQ
According to DigiTimes, the iPhone could sport "Intel (NSDQ:
INTC) Inside" branding. Could this be one of the details about
the next-generation iPhone?

Rumor Round-Up: Now RIM Is Making A Touch Screen Device
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY430ER
The latest scuttlebutt from the Interwebs has purported spy shots
of the BlackBerry 9000, a fantastical iPhone look alike that
sheds keys entirely for what appears to be a touch screen. Why is
my BS meter clanging loudly?

Palm Admits New Operating System Won't Be Ready For A Looooong Time
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY440ES
Speaking to analysts and press on a recent conference call, Palm
CEO Ed Colligan came forward and said its next-generation
operating system -- promised for late 2007 -- won't be ready
until late 2008. This is a bad set back.

An Upgraded Opera For Mobile Browsing
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY450ET
The Opera Mobile browser is preferred by many to Internet
Explorer Mobile for Web browsing on Windows Mobile-based
equipment. So it's good news for lots of people that there's an
incremental upgrade just out, Opera Mobile 8.65. And Version 9 is
on the way. And if you're a BlackBerry user, Opera wants you as well.

Oops, Blodget Does It Again, Prediciting Google At $2,000 A Share
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY460EU
It looks like Henry Blodget may be up to his old tricks again.
Yesterday Blodget predicted that Google could hit $2,000 a share.
Is this realistic or is it the Dow 36,000 thesis of the Web 2.0 era?

Four Reasons I Think Google May Try To Become A Carrier In India
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY470EV
AT&T this week applied for a license to offer wireless service in
India. The move is AT&T's first step toward becoming a carrier in
one of the fastest growing wireless markets. Will Google follow
in AT&T's footsteps?

Isn't It Time Apple And AT&T Opened The iPhone?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY480EW
Why is the iPhone still a closed shop on AT&T's network? At the
time of the launch Apple suggested that it was necessary to keep
the device locked, but hinted that the device would be eventually
opened. It's four months later and the iPhone is still locked.
How much longer must developers wait?

HTC Touches A Nerve With New Touch Screen Smartphones
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY5A0Eg

but HTC -- a Windows Mobile smartphone manufacturer -- gave the
iPhone a run for its money with 800,000 HTC Touch phones sold in
a similar period. It unveiled even more of them yesterday.

How Is MSN Losing $1 Billion A Year?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY5C0Ei

Web company losing money -- insert irony here), Microsoft's MSN
is losing $1 billion a year. That's right, $1 billion.

Five Reasons Nokia Should Buy Skype From eBay
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY5D0Ej
According to Henry Blodget at Silicon Alley Insider (Henry
Blodget and Silicon Alley, two great Web 1.0 tastes that go great
together?), eBay's acquisition of Skype can now be officially
tagged a bomb. How long will it be until Google, Yahoo, or
Microsoft buys Skype?

Does AT&T Hate The First Amendment?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY5F0El
According to Gizmodo, AT&T has modified its Terms of Service in
such a way that could allow the carrier to drop customers who say

http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDpN0Hi7YQ0G4U0FY5I0Eo

bluntly, the mobile Web sucks. Karp is a blogger for whom I have
a tremendous amount of respect, but, on this topic, he's totally wrong.
