- Does RIM's Tablet Make Sense?
By Ed Hansberry
It seems everyone is jumping on the tablet bandwagon and Apple's iPad success is just increasing the excitement surrounding the form factor. Unlike the iPad though, RIM's tablet is rumored to be a companion device to the Blackberry, not a stand-alone tablet.

- AT&T Exposes iPhone Customer Information
By Ed Hansberry
Not content to let 3G iPad users have all of the fun, AT&T decided to let iPhone users in on the data exposure game. Those jumping on the iPhone 4.0 bandwagon early today may have been shown your iPhone account information during the upgrade process rather than their own.

- 3G iPad Hack More Than Email Addresses?
By Ed Hansberry
If you have a 3G iPad on AT&T's network and you are one of the lucky 114,000 who's email addresses were exposed, you might have a bit more to worry about. In fact, even if you aren't one of those originally identified has having their email address exposed, you might still have something to worry about.

- Microsoft Paying For Porting iPhone Games
By Ed Hansberry
Microsoft has been throwing around cash lately to help bolster the application offerings for Windows Phone 7. Compared to Android and iPhone application stores. Windows Mobile's library is at best anemic. To make matters worse, everything has to be rewritten for WP7. Microsoft seems to be taking the "if you want things done right, do it yourself" approach to filling the library.

- Because A Single 1GHz Core Isn't Enough
By Ed Hansberry
One of the hot processors right now is the Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The HTC HD2 uses it, as well as the recently released HTC EVO 4G on the Sprint network. If that kind of power isn't enough for you though, there is hope. Qualcomm has just announced a line of dual core 1.2GHz Snapdragons.

- T-Mobile, Not Verizon, Getting iPhone Next? No
By Eric Zeman
"When will Verizon Wireless get the iPhone?" is a question I still hear every day. According to Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu, the iPhone is headed to T-Mobile next, not Verizon Wireless. Unfortunately, Mr. Wu is wrong.

- 114,000+ 3G iPad User Emails Exposed
By Ed Hansberry
Adding to AT&T's troubled reputation is the recent security breach with iPad 3G users accounts. It has been labeled the worst security breach in Apple's history and it is a breach that was beyond Apple's control as it all happened on AT&T's servers. The list of who was exposed is a veritable who's who list of politicians, corporate executives and celebrities, along with the average Joe here and there.

- 5 Steps To Get -- And Stay -- FISMA Compliant And Secure
Implementing a program that is effective in actually securing assets and will continually address compliance is difficult. Guidelines such as the NIST 800 series, the Center for Internet Security Standards or even DISA's Security Technical Implementation Guides are confusing, and furthermore, much of the underlying data to be protected changes so quickly that yearly reviews of controls are woefully ineffective. Here's a better plan.
