- Making The Case For Feature Phones
Posted By Marin Perez
I've long thought that features phones like the Samsung Rogue were on their
way out because low-cost Android devices or other smartphones would eventually
make their way down market. After conversing with Frank Meehan, CEO of INQ
Mobile, I may be reconsidering that stance.

- Palm Pixi Gets The Hands-On Treatment
Posted By Eric Zeman
I had a chance to spend some time with the new Palm Pixi this afternoon.
It's small, light, and perfect for users who prefer the candybar form factor
with ready access to the QWERTY keyboard. I found the smaller screen size
and lack of Wi-Fi to be detractors, however.

- Apple Announces iPhone OS 3.1 And iTunes 9
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today in San Francisco, Apple made several music-related announcements,
some of which concerned the iPhone. iPhone OS 3.1, which will be available
today, offers several new features for the iPhone. iTunes 9 will finally
offer a much-sought-after feature -- the ability to manage iPhone applications
within iTunes itself.

- webOS 1.2 Primed To Hit The Palm Pre, Possibly Today
Posted By Eric Zeman
Sprint's support site has published a list of changes, fixes and features
for webOS 1.2, which may possibly be pushed out to end users today. The
changelog is pretty ridiculous. See what's new after the jump.

- Meet The Palm Pixi, The Second WebOS Phone
Posted By Marin Perez
I guess Palm has a penchant for making their big announcement very close
to Apple's big events, as they've just announced its follow-up to the Pre.
The Palm Pixi is the company's second webOS smartphone, and this pretty
device is coming to Sprint.

- AT&T Pushes Network Upgrades
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Last week I bloggedon the cost AT&T has incurred in being the exclusive carrier
for the iPhone in the US market. I've received a response from AT&T's Blogger
Relations on some of the issues raised. The cost is still high, but AT&T has
reaped a few benefits that aren't as readily obvious, and some of those will
in turn benefit their customers.

- Sprint Puts The Kibosh On $100 Palm Pre Promotion
Posted By Eric Zeman
If you thought the news from earlier today was bad, this is worse. Mere hours
after announcing a promotion to sell the Palm Pre for $100, Sprint has said
that the promotion was run "in error" and it cancelled the program.

- Check Out The BlackBerry Onyx
Posted By Marin Perez
The first official press photo of the BlackBerry Onyx came out today, and it
looks very, very nice. This messaging powerhouse will be similar to the
BlackBerry Bold, but it will add enough new features and design changes to keep
BlackBerry fanatics happy.

Security pros continue to move from protecting systems to protecting data,

applications make repelling them ever harder. Technologies like data loss
prevention, or DLP, purport to help. Here's what you need to know about this
emerging discipline.
