- Fighting Crime With Text Messages
Posted By Marin Perez
Looks like San Francisco is stepping into the 21st century, and it
will be unveiling a way for concerned citizens to text crime tips to police.
It's a good sign that San Francisco's finest are beginning to use technology
to help them fight crime.

- FCC Approves CDMA Version Of HTC Hero
Posted By Eric Zeman
Good news for lovers of the HTC Hero. Today the FCC granted approval
for the device with support for CDMA EVDO technology on board. This
approval pretty much confirms that either Sprint or Verizon Wireless
will be launching the Android-based handset in the near future.

- BlackBerry Browser To Support Both Flash And Silverlight?
Posted By Eric Zeman
Well, this would be a pretty big coup for Research In Motion, if true.
According to a report, future versions of the BlackBerry browser would
support not only full Adobe Flash, but Microsoft's Silverlight, as well.
That would make it a pretty powerful browser, indeed.

- Nokia's Maemo-Based Tablet Makes An Appearance
Posted By Eric Zeman
Nokia World, the number one mobile phone company's annual conference, is but
several weeks away. As anticipation builds for the keynote and news, one
possibility has leaked early. The N900/Rover tablet has been spotted, and
it runs Maemo 5.

- Anticipation Building For Facebook 3.0 On iPhone
Posted By Eric Zeman
A new in-depth look at the forthcoming Facebook 3.0 application for the iPhone
has social networking fans chomping at the bit for the updated software. New
features include a completely re-worked homescreen and the ability to post
videos directly from the iPhone 3GS.

- Microsoft's Dual Strategy With Windows Mobile
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Microsoft's long awaited Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system is due
in just a few months, perhaps by October 1. After that, we were expecting
Windows Mobile 7 to ship sometime in 2010, but now there is an indication
that in early 2010, there will be a refresh to 6.5. On top of that, 6.5 will
remain a viable platform even after 7 starts to ship for lower end hardware.

- HTC G1 Update: Cloudy With Little Chance Of Donut
Posted By Eric Zeman
Some bickering has sprung up recently about what software updates will be
made available to the HTC G1 and myTouch 3G, the two Android phones available
from T-Mobile. Developers are saying one thing, HTC is saying another, and
T-Mobile is sticking to a third version of reality. Who's saying what to whom
and why does it matter: The HTC G1 may be incompatible with future versions
of Android.

- BlackBerry App World Now Available From The Desktop
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today Research In Motion revealed a new, online version of the BlackBerry
App World. The Web-based storefront makes shopping faster and easier. Too
bad you can't buy applications directly from the store, though.

- Defense in Depth And the Rise of Data Loss Prevention
Security pros continue to move from protecting systems to protecting
data, and it's about time. Attackers are getting smarter, and complex
new applications make repelling them ever harder. Technologies like data
loss prevention, or DLP, purport to help. Here's what you need to know about
this emerging discipline.

- State of Enterprise Storage
Continuing to throw precious resources at escalating storage and bandwidth
demand isn't a strategy, it's a recipe for disaster. Diverse drivers -- from
environmental concerns to regulation to data security to business continuity --
mandate a new path. Are you ready?
