- Is Multitasking On A Phone Really Necessary?
By Ed Hansberry
One of the big debates on mobile platforms is whether or not multitasking
is really necessary for smartphones. In general the power users argue it
is. OS designers tend to shy away from it though in order to maximize
battery life and minimize any lag on the device due to memory consumption
or CPU bottlenecks. So which is it?

- Skyfire Cancels BlackBerry Browser Until Dev Environment Improves
By Eric Zeman
Skyfire's CEO Jeff Glueck recently posted a blog explaining why the company
is halting development of its Skyfire browser for the BlackBerry platform.
The biggest reason? Glueck cites a bad developer environment, singling out
BlackBerry's Java-based systems. Skyfire is focusing all its efforts now
on Android.

- Android Market Gains Whopping 9,300 Apps In March
By Eric Zeman
March saw amazing growth in the Android Market, which added an amazing
9,308 new applications. What's even more interesting is that the size of
the Android Market has doubled since January.

- Google Overhauls BlackBerry Map App, Adds Voice Search
By Eric Zeman
Today Google announced a new version of its mobile map software for
BlackBerries. The new software is a major revision, and adds tons of
new features, including voice search and integration with Google Buzz.

- Google Giving Up On 'Revolutionary' Android Sales Model?
By Eric Zeman
Accessories for the HTC-made Nexus One have begun appearing in T-Mobile
retail stores. Is T-Mobile preparing to stock the Nexus One? If so, does
that mean Google is giving up on its plans to sell Android devices directly
to consumers? Also, an "Incredible" device is preparing to launch with
Verizon Wireless.

- RIM's 'Magnum' To Be Holy Grail Of BlackBerries?
By Eric Zeman
One reason Research In Motion's BlackBerry devices have been so
successful with business users is because they have great keyboards.
That hasn't stopped business users from moving over the iPhone in droves,
in part, because of its touch interface. BlackBerry hopes to hold onto
its customers with the Magnum, which features both a touch screen and
a keyboard.

- Apple's Next Big Thing -- Mobile Advertising
By Ed Hansberry
Less than a week after the iPad was launched, Apple is ready to announce
its next product. Consumer's won't buy it, but just about everyone with
an Apple device will be exposed to it and make use of it. Get ready for
a whole new advertising campaign on your iPhone or iPad.

- Apple Suggests iPad Wi-Fi Fixes
By Eric Zeman
Apple has backhandedly acknowledged that some iPad users are experiencing
trouble connecting to Wi-Fi networks with their devices. Rather than admit
that the iPad is to blame, however, Apple passes the buck to poorly configured
or poorly placed Wi-Fi routers.

- Why IT Must Sort Out App Mobilization Challenges
Application mobilization tools are both more effective and more confusing
than ever. Meanwhile, today's smartphones represent the cutting edge of the
computing industry. They're powerful computers, and your best and brightest
employees wouldn't consider leaving home without their devices of choice.
And therein lies the problem: There is such a thing as too much diversity.
