- Smartphones -- And The Apps Users Install On Them
By Ed Hansberry
Once a niche market of geeks, apps for mobile devices has turned into a major business, thanks mostly to Apple's masterful creation of a solid device locked into a single application market. Before that, while some application stores existed, there was no one stop shopping and few offered pleasant on-device shopping experiences. Geeks and techies could side-load apps from their PC's, but most people didn't bother. Now that has all changed.

- Android Gains Better Media Player Via DoubleTwist
By Eric Zeman
One of Android's biggest weaknesses is its wimpy media player and lack of native media syncing software. One company is trying to remedy that by offering both a player and syncing software for the Android platform.

- T-Mobile Brings Back S60 With Nokia E73 'Mode'
By Eric Zeman
Nokia and S60 fans have reason to be happy with today's news. T-Mobile is launching the new E73 Mode smartphone on June 16 for just $70. It comes with a full QWERTY keyboard and a five megapixel camera. Nokia pitches it as a business-worthy device. Is it?

- Steve Jobs' iPhone And iPad Musings From D8
By Eric Zeman
The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher recently interviewed Apple CEO Steve Jobs live at the D8 conference in California. Jobs dished on a number of topics, including the iPhone and iPad.

- RIM Touts BlackBerry Efficiency As Benefit For AT&T
By Eric Zeman
Following AT&T's revised smartphone data plans, Research In Motion made an announcement of its own. RIM claims that because BlackBerries are "significantly more efficient than other mobile platforms," most BlackBerry users should be able to take advantage of AT&T's lowest data plan. Of course, RIM has missed the point entirely.

- AT&T Kills Off Unlimited Data Before iPhone Launch
By Eric Zeman
AT&T today introduced completely overhauled pricing for wireless data plans. The bad news is, no more unlimited data for smartphones and the iPad. The good news is that iPhone users will finally be able to tether to their laptops.

- FTC And FCC Complaints On The iPhone
By Ed Hansberry
Any popular item is bound to have its detractors and the iPhone is no exception. Most of the complaints we hear about don't involve the device but either the carrier, AT&T, or Apple itself in some of its decisions about the platform, especially how it arbitrarily decides what apps will and will not be in the App Store. What issues are serious enough though for a consumer to lodge a complaint with the FCC or FTC?

- Google Offers More Thoughts On Android Fragmentation
By Eric Zeman
One of Android's biggest drawbacks -- according to users -- is the fragmentation issue. Some devices "get stuck" on one version of Android and are left behind while other devices -- and their apps -- can update and enjoy new features. Google says it is working hard to rectify the "compatibility" problem.

- E-Mail: Let's Get Unified
We define the next-generation communications utopia as a system that provides employees with e-mail, instant messaging, collaboration, presence, voice and video communication, and structured data integration via Web client, desktop or mobile device. But before you get too excited, realize that most IT groups won't so much be running toward this new collaboration strategy as slinking away from siloed systems that they never quite got running correctly.

- 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.
