Radical Surgery to Fix Software Patents

Radical Surgery to Fix Software Patents

By Bob Warfield on August 21, 2011

I’m from the camp that says we’re way past the point of patents fostering innovation, if they ever did.  It didn’t take me long reading Scoble’s post this morning about the value of WebOS’s patents to HP possibly making the unit a profitable venture to be reminded once again that while patents may be a […]

Go Droid - Google Buying Motorola

Go Droid – Google Buying Motorola

By Michael Coté on August 16, 2011

Clearly, Google is after patent protection in buying Motorola, and they said as much. This leads many to think they’ll sell off the actual hardware assets. That’d be safe and status quo: Google doesn’t make hardware (aside from a couple appliance…

The tech media, and general media as well, is all a flutter about Google acquiring Motorola Mobility (note that this is one part of Motorola, the other being their Solutions group which is 2x the size of Mobility in terms of revenue).

ON that Personal Computing Nirvana Again

ON that Personal Computing Nirvana Again

By Zoli Erdos on February 17, 2011

This will be a fairly short post – because all I do is refer to this piece I wrote recently: Motorola Takes Us a Step Closer to Personal Computing Nirvana–and it’s Not Even a Computer Why bring it up again?  Because Walt Mossberg just validated the concept: Today’s best smartphones are really hand-held computers. They […]

Motorola Takes Us a Step Closer to Personal Computing Nirvana–and it’s Not Even a Computer

Motorola Takes Us a Step Closer to Personal Computing Nirvana–and it’s Not Even a Computer

By Zoli Erdos on January 9, 2011

It took five years, but the personal computing nirvana vision I first heard from Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu is becoming reality. The concept that I discussed in The Cell-Phone Aware PC May Be a PC-less PC, and other posts is simple.  Instead of a plethora of situational devices with redundant computing capacity, carry around just […]

Palm must build great accessories to survive

Palm must build great accessories to survive

By Dennis Moore on March 20, 2010

Palm is in a tough situation. As reported widely, Palm’s operating results are beginning to cast doubt about the viability of the company. There is no easy solution for the company, but a series of tough measures and creative development efforts can turn things around. Palm makes a number of smart phones, notably the Palm […]

My Droid Review

My Droid Review

By Jeff Nolan on November 10, 2009
