- Verizon Wireless Officially Unveils The Droid Incredible
By Eric Zeman
Verizon Wireless today ended months of speculation and finally announced the Droid Incredible. We pretty much know everything there is to know about this device already. It will be available for pre-order on April 19, and will hit store shelves April 29.

- Twitter Targeting Top Smartphone Platforms
By Eric Zeman
Social networking service Twitter has made a number of interesting moves in the mobile space. It recently released a native Twitter application for the BlackBerry platform, bought an iPhone Twitter app and has now pledged to build a native Twitter app for Android.

- FLO TV Kicks It Up A Notch
By Ed Hansberry
FLO TV is a service that streams TV to your mobile device using broadcast frequencies with a special radio in the device. Now they are going to be integrating more advanced services like pay-as-you-go and DVR-like time shifting capabilities.

- Microsoft Kin Marketing Goes Overboard
By Thomas Claburn
Microsoft's new commercial for its Kin mobile phone is so obviously provocative that it could only be planned. It's as if someone in the company's marketing department said, "We have to make sure this phone is not ignored."

- Verizon Accidentally Confirms 'Incredible' Launch
By Eric Zeman
Early today, a teaser web site went live on VerizonWireless.com which provided some details about the HTC Droid Incredible. The page was later pulled, but not before we learned one specific piece of information: the date the Incredible is primed for launch.

- Testing Apple's iPad On The Road
By Eric Zeman
I recently took a business trip to San Francisco. I took the Apple iPad with me and put it through its paces as a potential laptop replacement. How did it fare?

- Linux Based iPad Rival
By Ed Hansberry
The iPad hasn't even been out for two weeks yet and there is already a Linux rival to the iconic device. As with all rivals, it seems to have more of everything - a larger screen, webcam and USB ports, the latter two totally missing on the iPad. Like all other things Linux though, will the market care?

- HTC May Develop Proprietary Smartphone Operating System
By Eric Zeman
HTC recently indicated that it is considering the idea of creating its own smartphone operating system. I can't imagine a bigger mistake that HTC could make right now.

- Google For Business: Assessing Google Docs
The new versions show Google making a few major bets: That what people want most is real-time collaboration on documents, that they'll do it entirely in the cloud, and that, when it comes to features, less is more.

The biggest leap forward -- Google is betting that real-time, online collaboration is the feature people want.
