- Could Amazon Give Apple App Store A Run For Its Money?
Posted By Ed Hansberry
I read an interesting article today on how the recently launched Amazon
Wireless store could be effective competition for Apple's App Store. Could
Amazon enter the mobile app fray and succeed in similar ways Amazon has with
other markets?

- FCC To Put Wireless Corps On The Hot Seat
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today the Federal Communications Commission announced its decision to
investigate the wireless industry. Under the gun will be the power held
by the larger providers, truth-in-billing issues, and whether or not
consumers have as much choice as they should.

- Nokia Officially Bows Maemo 5 And N900 Tablet
Posted By Eric Zeman
Nokia confirmed speculation today that a new Internet Tablet is in the
works. The new N900 carries forward the basic concept of the N800 and N810,
but takes it a huge step forward by adding cellular radios (making it a phone)
and giving it the powers of Maemo 5, the newest verison of Nokia's mobile
Linux platform.

- Possible Windows Mobile 6.5 Second Edition Screen Shots
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Last week I told you about Windows Mobile's dual strategy and indicated
there may be a refresh of WinMo 6.5 in the early spring. The rumor is
getting stronger because there have been some screen shots of a device
clearly running WinMo 6.5, but with some tweaks that differ from what we've seen.

- Motorola To Show Off Android Phones
Posted By Marin Perez
By now you're probably aware that Motorola will be introducing some Android
handsets in early September. Moto has a lot riding on these devices, so let's
take a look at what they could be showing off.

- BlackBerry Bold Gets Software Update
Posted By Marin Perez
Good news everyone, AT&T is rolling out an over-the-air software update for
the BlackBerry Bold today. The latest firmware will add a few nifty features
to Ari Gold's favorite phone, including the much-needed visual voicemail.

- RIM Acquires A Better Browser For Blackberry
Posted By Ed Hansberry
RIM has just acquired Torch Mobile, which is the maker of the Iris browser.
It is based on the WebKit rendering engine and RIM plans to integrate this
into the Blackberry platform. It should substantially improve the browsing
experience for the mobile handset maker.

- Apple Responds To FCC
Posted By Eric Zeman
Apple has also now filed its response to the FCC questions over the Google
Voice application. In essence, it says that it acted alone, and AT&T played
no role. It also says that it didn't "remove" the application. Instead, it
reverted it to "pre-approved" status so it con undergo further evaluation.
