- Are Mobile Devices Closing The Digital Divide?
By Ed Hansberry
Mobile devices seem to be closing the digital divide. More and more
people are getting online with cell phones, but the uptake is really
strong with minorities according to a report by the Pew Internet &
American Life Project.

- Verizon BlackBerry To Pack Wi-Fi
By Marin Perez
The spies over at CrackBerry said Verizon Wireless will soon be getting
the BlackBerry 8530. The great thing about this is that this handset
packs Wi-Fi. It's about freaking time.

- Motorola Delivers Profit, But What About Handsets?
By Eric Zeman
Motorola announced its second quarter earnings and surprised more than
a few by turning up a profit. This is certainly a positive sign, but
Motorola has yet to deliver a winning handset this year. Or last year,
for that matter.

- Spin Control? Apple Explains Why Jailbreaking Is Bad
By Eric Zeman
This is rich. A day after Apple's claims that jailblreaking iPhones can
cause catastrophic harm became public, Apple updated its support page
to explain exactly why jailbreaking iPhones a bad thing.

- LG's 'New Chocolate' Touts Sex Appeal
By Eric Zeman
Today LG confirmed a long-rumored device, the BL40 "New Chocolate".
This touch-based phone features a gorgeous four-inch display and more
closely resembles an actual chocolate bar than any of its forebears did.

- AT&T Blocks Google Voice From iPhone
By Ed Hansberry
According to Daring Fireball, the AT&T has pushed Apple into blocking
the Google Voice app from the App Store. This is just one more example
of the carriers not getting it and trying to impose their petty
restrictions on us for fear of becoming a dumb pipe.

- U.S. Gov't: Thou Shalt Not Text And Drive At The Same Time
By Eric Zeman
It finally happened. With texting-and-driving incidents gaining more
and more national media attention, it appears as though the recent VTech
study pushed the U.S. federal government into action. Today, lawmakers
proposed a national ban on texting and emailing when behind the wheel
of a moving vehicle. Will it work?

- Verizon Spills Details About The V CAST Apps Store
By Eric Zeman
Today, Verizon Wireless held a developer conference in San Jose. The big
news? An app store is coming, and Verizon is working with RIM, Qualcomm,
and others to make it happen.

- Novatel's MiFi Adds GPS, MicroSD And U.S. 3G Support
By Eric Zeman
Today Novatel rolled out its latest rendition of the MiFi, the 2372. It
covers all the major GSM-based mobile networks, including GPRS, EDGE,
UMTS and HSPA. The MiFi 2372 takes things a bit further, however, with
added storage capacity and a processor capable of running apps.

- Verizon's FiOS Customers Get Free Access To Wi-Fi
By Eric Zeman
If you are a customer of Verizon's fiber-to-the-home FiOS Internet service,
you'll soon be able to access a number of public Wi-Fi hot spots for free.
Too bad smartphones aren't supported.

- Optimize Global Sourcing
Too often, outsourcing application development doesn't deliver the
savings CIOs expect. Using visualization software to give partners
a clear picture of enterprise application requirements helps eliminate
the risks and unexpected cost of globally sourced development projects
while delivering the results that the business demands.
