- Is The Smartphone The OS Or The Hardware?
By Jim Rapoza
Ask someone what kind of desktop or laptop they own and they will most likely respond with the operating system name. And it used to be that if you asked about their smartphone, they would probably respond with the hardware name. But that may be changing.

- AT&T Announces Network Upgrades, Gets An Ear Full
By Ed Hansberry
AT&T sent out a letter to its wireless users explaining that they plan to spend between 18 and 19 billion dollars to upgrade their network.

- Android Steals Share From Everyone In Web Browsing
By Ed Hansberry
Sales numbers are a good sign of how well a device is doing, and Android has nothing to complain about there. Web browsing though is a better indication of how much usage the device is getting. Here too Android has nothing to complain about. In fact, it is the only smartphone platform showing growth.

- Samsung Picks Android, Windows Phone 7 Takes Hit
By Ed Hansberry
Samsung announced on Thursday that they plan to focus their development efforts on Google's Android platform and their own Bada platform. Up until now, Samsung has been a solid partner of Microsoft's. They aren't leaving Windows Phone 7 behind, but they are only planning one device running Microsoft's new software. As for Symbian, don't count on it.
