- Is The Blackberry Torch Flaming Out?
By Ed Hansberry
After being on the market for less than a week, the RIM's new flagship device, the Blackberry Torch with the new 6.0 OS is being discounted, heavily. It came out of the gates at $199 plus contract and is now available for half of that. The combination of less than stellar sales and mixed review are surely to blame.

- More Of Verizon's Roadmap Laid Out
By Ed Hansberry
Additional details for the top carrier in the United States were revealed today and no one will be shocked to see it is full of Android devices. WebOS and Blackberry also have some slots on the list, but no mention of the much rumored Verizon iPhone and Windows Phone is nowhere to be seen.

- Windows Phone 7 Puts On Its Game Face
By Ed Hansberry
Windows Phone 7 will be coming from way behind the iPhone and Android platforms when it launches and Microsoft is doing all it can to boost its acceptance. Right now it seems Windows Phone 7 will be second to none when it comes to the gaming experience, which is tied heavily to XBox Live. Today Microsoft shed some light on their mobile gaming plans.

- Oracle's Suit Against Google Over Java
By Ed Hansberry
Oracle is suing Google over the latter's Java implementation in Android. The question is, did Google develop its version of Java, called Dalvik, from the ground up without borrowing any code from Sun's Java, or did they infringe on Sun's intellectual property, now owned by Oracle?

- Blackberry's Threat From Windows Phone 7?
By Ed Hansberry
Blackberry has long been the king of the Enterprise, aided in no small part to Windows Mobile's decline in recent years. Yes, the iPhone and Android are all the rage in smartphones right now, but do either have what it takes to topple RIM in the enterprise space?

- Who Is Left At Palm?
By Ed Hansberry
Since the announcement in April that HP would be buying Palm, there has been significant brain drain of the mobile tech company. When you buy a company primarily for the intellectual property, it sometimes helps to retain the intellect that created it in the first place.

- Dell Streak Carves Niche Between Tablet And Smartphone
By Ed Hansberry
Dell is launching its Android powered Streak this week on the AT&T network. The screen size is five inches, which makes it larger than a smartphone but smaller than a full tablet. Is there room in the market for this device?

- Flash For The iPhone
By Ed Hansberry
Apple has an impressive number of apps it the App Store and the iPhone is one of the most capable devices out there, but it has one glaring hole in its offerings: no Flash support. Well, now there is an unofficial Flash app called Frash.

- New End User Device Paradigm
We need to deliver the computing power employees require while moving away from the fat desktop PC with its replacement cycle treadmill. Will the winning approach include netbooks, VDI, applications on smartphones, application streaming or some as yet unknown combination? We can't say. But we do know that IT must develop a smart new direction, and soon.
