- Recession Special: Virgin Mobile USA Touts 'Pink Slip' Program
Posted By Eric Zeman
Pre-paid mobile phone service providers are taking advantage of their
low-cost plans to reel in new customers during these tough times. Virgin
Mobile's latest pitch is that it will pay for up to three months of cellular
service if you lose your job.

- Suppliers: Apple Orders 100 Million 8GB Flash Chips
Posted By Eric Zeman
File this under: Whoa. According to DigiTimes, Apple has placed orders for
up to 100 million 8GB NAND flash memory chips. Gee, what would Apple want
to do with that many chips?

- Are You Breaking Text Etiquette? Is There Such A Thing?
Posted By Eric Zeman
Everyone approaches the way they use their mobile phone somewhat differently,
but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be some basic rules involved. That's
especially true when it comes to using text messages for enterprise communications.

- Will Microsoft Ship Windows Mobile 6.5 Before It Is Ready?
Posted By Ed Hansberry
I read a post yesterday that was speculating that Microsoft may ship
Windows Mobile 6.5 before all of the intended pieces were put in place
and then rely on the update mechanism to release patches and updates
after it ships. I have no idea if that is the plan or not, but if it is,
I actually find it encouraging.

- Yahoo Offers iPhone Messenger App
Posted By Eric Zeman
Yahoo recently made a stand-alone version of its Messenger instant
messaging application available for the iPhone. How does it compare?

- LBS Developers On Symbian And Palm's WebOS: No Thanks
Posted By Eric Zeman
Skyhook Wireless recently polled developers of location-based services
and found that less than 10% of them are interested in creating
applications for the Symbian and webOS platforms. Can smartphone
platforms succeed with such little developer support?

- SaaS Might Be Best Choice For Mobile Workforce
Posted By Mary Hayes Weier
Salesforce.com on Tuesday introduced a scaled-down version of its
mobile software for use on smartphones, including BlackBerry,
iPhone, and Windows Mobile. It's offered a full-featured mobile app
for a few years, and one designed specifically for the iPhone since
last year. But most interesting is how these apps demonstrate that
the SaaS model works exceptionally well for businesses wanting to deploy
mobile software to their workforces.

- RIM Already Working On Storm 2, Adding Wi-Fi?
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to reports, RIM is hard at work on a sequel to its touchscreen
BlackBerry. Unofficially dubbed the Storm 2 by the blogosphere, the big
upgrades include a new screen and Wi-Fi.
