- Latest Mobile OS From Microsoft Cannot Turn the Tide
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Microsoft launched the Pocket PC in 2000 and really turned the tide in
the mobile device market, long before there were smartphones. Palm was
the leader, but due to advances by Microsoft and Palm resting on their
laurels way too long, Microsoft became a dominate player in the PDA market.
The PDA market though has all but vanished and smartphones have taken their
place. Now Microsoft finds itself the underdog, and its latest release, Windows
Mobile 6.5, won't be enough to turn the tide.

MacBook Pro laptops, 14 iPhones and nine iPod touch handhelds in a

you can bet thieves can make off with employee hardware just as easily.

loss prevention, or DLP, purport to help. Here's what you need to know about
this emerging discipline.
