CES 2011 Report

CES 2011 Report

By Evangelos Simoudis on January 13, 2011

The CES this year had about 140K attendees, a significant increase over last year’s attendance.  More importantly, 30K of these attendees were international.  Last year was good for consumer electronic sales, particularly the Christmas season, so that buoyed the attendees spirits. This was another show demonstrating CE evolution rather than revolution.  As I wrote last […]

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 […]

Android Phone Without Google Voice?  Yes, But What a Deal!  You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.

Android Phone Without Google Voice? Yes, But What a Deal! You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.

By Zoli Erdos on October 7, 2010

News of Virgin Mobile starting to sell an Android phone is disruptive, to say the least. Not because of the phone – it’s a dinky little Samsung Intercept – but because of the plans.  They are all contract-free, and start at $25.  The basic level only gives you 300 minutes to talk, but it includes […]

Thoughts On The Dell Streak: I like the form factor. But then I don’t wear skinny jeans.

Thoughts On The Dell Streak: I like the form factor. But then I don’t wear skinny jeans.

By James Governor on September 6, 2010

Folks have been clambering over themselves to praise the new 7 inch Samsung Tab after its launch at IFA last week, but I have been playing with Dell’s 5 inch screen entry in the tablet game for a month already, so I thought I should get a few notes down for context. Pros Display – […]

Developer relations in your pocket

By Michael Coté on August 24, 2010

The telco ecosystem is finally waking up to Microsoft’s great epiphany of the 80’s and 90’s: it’s all about developers.

Leaving iPhone for Android

Leaving iPhone for Android

By Jeff Nolan on July 22, 2010

This week I picked up an HTC Evo to replace my trusty iPhone 3G. My reason for doing this is twofold, featuring a technical and a philosophical reason. I should also take a paragraph to explain that this post isn’t about what device is better because better is an entirely subjective quality but more significantly […]

Did Nexus One fail?

Did Nexus One fail?

By Chris Selland on July 20, 2010

In my opinion, no.  While the initiative certainly wasn’t an unqualified success, it’s clear that much was learned – and much was gained. Google essentially set out to do two things with the Nexus One: Demonstrate the capabilities of Android in a high-end, unlocked phone Challenge the channel – i.e. the carriers – that sell […]

British Gas launch version 2 of their iPhone app – nice but non-inclusive!

By Tom Raftery on July 20, 2010

British Gas announced recently that they had updated their iPhone app to version 2. The original application, which was downloaded over 100,000 times, helped customers monitor energy use and submit meter readings to avoid estimated bills. In June alone over 18,000 meter readings were submitted using the app. With the new version customers can view […]

iPhone 4: too slippery by half

iPhone 4: too slippery by half

By Phil Wainewright on July 12, 2010

This antenna problem isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature, deliberately introduced to provide a face-saving explanation for accident-prone users like me who have no choice but to keep their iPhones wrapped in a non-slip bodysuit
