- Are The Stars Aligning For Verizon iPhone Launch?
By Ed Hansberry
We've been hearing rumors of an iPhone on the Verizon network for some time, but the expected dates seem to come and go with no news. The latest rumor is early 2011 and we keep getting additional information that makes that seem more credible than any previous rumor.

- AT&T Has Satellite Based Smartphone
By Ed Hansberry
Wow. It is like 1999 all over again. In 1999 satellite phones were all the rage because they were going to work when every other cell phone died as a result of Y2K. The only thing that died were satellite phones for consumers. Flash forward over a decade later and AT&T is ready to give it another go.

- Android Growth Continues, Others Lose Share
By Ed Hansberry
Android is showing no signs of slowing down. For the three months ended July 31, Android is the only smartphone platform to show growth. Palm remained flat, while Apple, Microsoft and RIM all saw declines.

- Nokia Puts Hardware First, Software Second
By Ed Hansberry
Nokia's fortunes have been heading in the wrong direction in recent years. It seems that Nokia focuses on the hardware and the software gets the sort end of the stick. That may be at least one of the reasons they are struggling, and a big one at that.

- Enterprise Wi-Fi Survey
By Grant Moerschel
I'm working on a followup to my last State of Wi-Fi report, which garnered huge response. A lot has happened: This time last year, the IEEE promoted 802.11n to an official standard. The Wi-Fi Alliance quickly followed by declaring any 802.11n DRAFT 2.0 devices as "n CERTIFIED." But has any of that changed your plans for displacing copper to the desktop with a WLAN?

- Windows Phone 7 For GSM Only In 2010
By Ed Hansberry
If you are on a CDMA based network like Sprint or Verizon, you won't be able to pick up a Windows Phone 7 device this year. Microsoft's mobile platform will only work with GSM networks for the first few months after its release at least.

- Only One Third Of Adults Have Apps
By Ed Hansberry
A recent study of nearly 2,000 adults with cell phones were asked a number of questions about their usage of applications on the phone. Only 35 percent of adults have applications on their phone.

- International Windows Phone 7 Devices Missing Features?
By Ed Hansberry
Here is an interesting rumor that has a ring of truth to it. Some of the more hyped features of Windows Phone 7 may not make it to countries that don't speak English, French, German, Italian or Spanish, at least not initially. If true, how much will this hurt the platform's launch?
