FEATURED BLOG
- Droid X Suffers Death Grip Says Apple
By Ed Hansberry
Apple has acknowledged that the iPhone 4 has a serious problem when you hold the device in a certain way, which just so happens to be the most common way a right handed person holds a phone, with their left hand at the base of the unit. For now, the fix is free bumpers for everyone which mitigates the problem. Not content to stop there though, Apple is claiming other phones have the same issue, and going to great lengths to document it.

- AT&T To Be Premier Windows Phone 7 Carrier
By Ed Hansberry
AT&T has been a long time supporter of Windows Mobile by carrying a variety of devices over the years in the US. Now they are claiming they will be the premier carrier for the forthcoming platform from Microsoft. Does that bode well for users buying new Windows Phone 7 devices this fall?

- HP's Grand Plans For WebOS
By Ed Hansberry
After HP acquired Palm, which was to gain access to WebOS, the platform that powers the Palm Pre and Pixi phones, there was concern that smartphones would fall by the wayside. Those concerns were laid to rest weeks ago and smartphones are very much in the picture, but they are only a part of the picture. Can HP make WebOS a multi-form factor powerhouse?

- The End of Closed iPhones?
By Thomas Claburn
Go ahead and pick the iPhone's digital lock. The U.S. Copyright Office says that's okay. In a surprise decision, the Copyright Office granted the Electronic Frontier Foundations' request for three exemptions from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) anticircumvention provisions.

- Windows Phone 7 Partners Confirmed
By Ed Hansberry
Microsoft has five official partners that will be building devices running Windows Phone 7. Some are old partners. What may be more telling is who isn't on the list.

- Blackberry 6 Eye Candy Available
By Ed Hansberry
Even though Windows Phone 7 is heavily anticipated this fall, mainly as Microsoft's last chance to turn its mobile device effort around, it isn't the only major release in the pipeline. Research in Motion's Blackberry platform is getting a pretty big update with version 6 and now there are a number of screenshots available as well as information about the Blackberry 6 Desktop software.

- Free Windows Phone 7 Devices For Everyone
By Ed Hansberry
Everyone at Microsoft that is. It looks like all 90,000 employees of Microsoft will be getting a new phone with Windows Phone 7 on it. If nothing else, it makes it instantly more successful than the Kin, perhaps ten times as successful.

- AT&T And The iPhone, Or Oil And Water
By Ed Hansberry
It obviously sounded like a good idea in 2007 when Apple and AT&T signed a multi-year exclusivity agreement but a few short years later, it became evident the agreement between Apple and AT&T wasn't turning out as planned.

- Leveraging Virtualization For Business Continuity And Disaster Recovery
Business continuity and disaster recovery have long been sore points for IT. Now that server virtualization is widespread and with VDI about to go mainstream, can we leverage these technologies to make true continuity a reality -- or at least make recovering from disaster faster and less expensive?

- Enterprise Fixed/Mobile Convergence
