New smartphones and mobile operating systems have drawn another sizable wave of consumers to intelligent smartphones. These platforms provide more productivity potential than ever before, but there are still gaps in the kind of security and management capabilities necessary for enterprise use. eWEEK Labs examines how to make the right choices now to meet future needs.
If there's a mobile device festooned with as many radios, input options, software sources and configuration menus as Nokia has managed to cram into the N97, eWEEK Labs has never seen it. But the N97's many features start to shine with continued use, and the form factor is sturdy and pleasingly portable. The price, though--$700--is a tough pill to swallow.
REVIEW: The Apple iPhone provides the best, lag-free performance of any iPhone, as well as native voice dialing, compass capabilities and support for Bluetooth 2.1. But many of Apple's latest and greatest features can be found in the iPhone 3.0 software upgrade, which is available for all previous iPhone models. eWEEK Labs tests the iPhone 3GS to determine whether the device and software improvements above and beyond the iPhone 3.0 upgrade are worth it.
An eWEEK Labs analyst gets technically faced by his father when a discussion about the MiFi mobile hot spot comes up. After some quick thinking (and research), the MiFi as wireless connectivity option gets a big, fat 'no.'
The MiFi 2200 “mobile hot spot” from Verizon provides mobile broadband in the back end and Wi-Fi out the front, giving as many as five users/devices access to the Internet from anywhere. The MiFi behaves like any other Wi-Fi mobile hot spot, although performance may be slower than what you've become accustomed to.
