- Will 2010 Be The Year Of The Tablet?
By Ed Hansberry
Wired.com is predicting that 2010 will be the year of the tablet
PC based on news of industry heavyweights jumping in the market.
I see a lot of potential for tablet style devices, just not at the
sizes people are talking about.

- Microsoft Encouraging iPhone App Ports To Windows Mobile
By Ed Hansberry
Microsoft knows it has serious competition with the iPhone, and as
the launch of Microsoft's Windows Marketplace for Mobile nears, WinMo
project team members are helping developers port their iPhone applications
to Windows Mobile with a few tips.

- Get The New BlackBerry Curve For A Penny
By Marin Perez
When I saw Wal-Mart was selling the brand new BlackBerry Curve 8520 for
about $50 with a new contract, I was shocked at how inexpensive it was.
But Amazon is taking it one step further, and users can get the smartphone
for a penny with a service plan. This is a shockingly good phone for that
price.

- Apple Possibly Lining Up 8GB Version Of iPhone 3GS
By Eric Zeman
According to shipping documents from Rogers Wireless up in Canada, it appears
as though Apple may be fading out the iPhone 3G in favor of a simplified
iPhone 3GS line-up, containing the 8GB, 16GB and 32GB models.

- Want WinMo Apps? HandMark Launches WinMo Apps Store
By Eric Zeman
If you're interested in loading your Windows Mobile phone up with applications
and don't want to wait until Redmond rolls out the Windows Mobile Marketplace,
HandMark has your back. Its new HandMarket Apps for Windows Mobile boasts over
50,000 pieces of content.

- What Were The Top 10 Smartphones For The Second Quarter?
By Eric Zeman
Research firm IDC has offered its take on what the top 10 best-selling
smartphones were in the U.S. during the second quarter. There's one major
flaw, however, that dramatically changes the results for the top spots. Is
one company being treated unfairly?

- Can At-Home Patient Monitoring Boost Health, Cut Costs?
By Marianne Kolbasuk McGee
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that widespread adoption of e-medical
record systems will save the U.S. about $12 billion over 10 years. But other
health related IT tools -- especially web-enabled devices used to monitor
chronically ill patients at home -- could eventually boost those cost savings
higher.

- Verizon Slashes Smartphone Prices
By Marin Perez
Looks like it's dealing days for Verizon Wireless, as the nation's largest
carrier has dropped the price of most of their smartphones to a cool $99
with a new contract. This is obviously in response to Apple dropping the
iPhone 3G to $99, but it also paves the way for a new portfolio of Verizon
smartphones.

- Microsoft Office Communicator Improves Ease Of Use For Windows Mobile
By Ed Hansberry
Microsoft has released an update to its Office Communicator service that will
make it easer for users of Windows Mobile, as well as potentially lowering
costs for your company.

- AT&T: It's All Apple's Fault
By Eric Zeman
Last Friday, the Federal Communications Commission sent letters to Apple, AT&T
and Google seeking answers on the Google Voice application's removal from the
iPhone Apps Store. AT&T has responded by saying that Apple is the one in
control, not AT&T.
