Mobile Shows That The World is Not for Dummies

Mobile Shows That The World is Not for Dummies

By John Taschek on November 18, 2013

It’s far too easy to hate statistics and use them to make a point simultaneously. Let’s use them to show that the world is not comprised of dummies and idiots. Beginning with the trends published by Mary Meeker about mobile adoption. She shredded some statistical constructs about the PC industry and its projected growth by […]

Great debate: Have smartphone cameras killed the DSLR?

Great debate: Have smartphone cameras killed the DSLR?

By Michael Krigsman on July 12, 2013

This week, I participated in a ZDNet great debate against fellow columnist Jason Perlow. Jason and I faced off on whether smartphone cameras will kill off the DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera market. Although not this blog’s usual fare of IT, CIO issues, or leadership advice, I’m a serious photographer and cameras are an important topic […]

Yes, Android is winning (at least by what Google cares about)

Yes, Android is winning (at least by what Google cares about)

By Chris Yeh on May 28, 2013

John Kirk recently took issue with the spate of stories about Android’s increasing share of the smartphone market.  In his polemic, “Android’s Market Share Is Literally A Joke“, he argues that Apple is actually winning the smartphone battle because it has a majority of the profits: “Not only do the high priests of market share […]

Where is SIRI for the Enterprise?

Where is SIRI for the Enterprise?

By Jacob Morgan on February 12, 2013

If you have one of the newer versions of the iphone then you are more than likely familiar with Siri; the “personal assistant” on your phone that you can talk to get help with anything from directions to recipes.  Unfortunately the concept is at this point, much more valuable than Siri itself.  Now while Siri […]

iPhone Stolen Again - Apple Couldn't Care Less

iPhone Stolen Again – Apple Couldn’t Care Less

By Guest Authors on October 19, 2012

When does a corporation have an ethical responsibility to its customers? Is it right for a company to profit by encouraging customer losses? Some would say that a company’s responsibility is simply to comply with the laws and to return a profit….

It’s a Tablet! It’s a PC! No, it’s a tasty floor wax!

By Chris Yeh on August 30, 2012

We seem to have reached the stage of tablet evolution where ungainly variations are crawling out of the primordial ooze on a daily basis.Just today, a single Engadget story covered the Sony VAIO Duo 11–a tablet that converts into a laptop via a slid…

My Quick Take on Quicktate (Convenient Transcription Has Finally Arrived)

My Quick Take on Quicktate (Convenient Transcription Has Finally Arrived)

By Zoli Erdos on February 28, 2012

It is rare that I get so excited about a new service I feel compelled to grab a pen mic smartphone and blog about it. But today it just happened: the service I’m going to talk about is Quicktate. For background, let me just come clear and admit that I’m a really lousy typist and […]

To RIM: Don't Change The Strategy, Change The Rules

To RIM: Don’t Change The Strategy, Change The Rules

By Chirag Mehta on January 31, 2012

A lot has been said and discussed about RIM’s downfall: indecisive leadership, inability to innovate at fast pace, and no clear path to recovery. I don’t disagree at all with the analysis and the interpretation of the situation, but I do disagree with the conclusion that many people are drawing and vehemently disagree with their […]

QR Shopping

QR Shopping

By Dave Michels on September 16, 2011

A fairly clever use of QR codes backed by financial results. QR codes are ugly, and IMO very limited, but they have a lot of potential to change the way we interact with data. I have a QR code on my business card and love it when people just scan it and hand it back. […]

Lessening the Pain of Data Roaming With Onavo

Lessening the Pain of Data Roaming With Onavo

By Paul Miller on March 7, 2011

I am in the Belgian city of Brussels at the moment, which means that my mobile phone is ‘roaming;’ off my UK network and being charged a scary amount of money to access data. Travelling to Europe is less scary than going elsewhere in the world, as I’m ‘only’ charged about £3 per Mb here. […]

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 8, 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 […]

Bottom Of The Pyramid – Nokia’s Second Act

Bottom Of The Pyramid – Nokia’s Second Act

By Chirag Mehta on November 3, 2010

The two-third of world’s 4.6 billon mobile users live in the emerging markets. Millions of these users live below the poverty line and are part of the bottom of the pyramid (BOP). Nokia is the market leader in these emerging markets, at least for now…

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 […]
