Great debate: Have smartphone cameras killed the DSLR?

By Michael Krigsman on July 12, 2013

This week, I participated in a ZDNet great debate against fellow columnist Jason Perlow. Jason and I faced off on whether smartphone cameras will kill off the DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera market.

Smartphone energy management – when will there be an app for that?

Smartphone energy management – when will there be an app for that?

By Tom Raftery on March 21, 2012

I wrote a post last week about mobile endpoint management applications and their potential to extend smartphone battery life. It seems it was a prescient piece given the emergence this week of a study from Purdue University and Microsoft Research showing how energy is used by some smartphone applications [PDF].
