REVIEW: BlackBerry Bold 9700 Is a Typically Excellent E-Mail, Contact and Calendaring Device
RIM's BlackBerry Bold 9700 combines the solid horsepower and good quality that characterized the original Bold 9000 with a form factor similar to other recent BlackBerry releases. The Bold 9700--versions of which are available from T-Mobile and AT&T--works in concert with the latest enterprise back-end software to add more features for enterprise users, although some of those features are a little kludgy.

Based on tests of new beta versions, neither Firefox 3.6 nor Google Chrome 4.0 will be major steps forward for the browsers. The only significant new feature in the Chrome 4.0 beta is Bookmark Sync. The Firefox 3.6 beta boasts more new features than the Chrome 4.0 beta, but none are groundbreaking.
Virtualization may seem new, but it was around when eWEEK (then PC Week) made its debut. The roots of today's data center virtualization are easily traced to early mainframe systems of the 1970s and '80s. eWEEK Labs' Cameron Sturdevant connects the dots between his current virtualization coverage and his network management past.
As eWEEK looks back at its 25-year history, eWEEK Labs analysts considered the most important innovations in their respective coverage areas. For Senior Analyst Andrew Garcia, the choice was a no-brainer: Wi-Fi, a "gargantuan success story."
eWEEK Chief Technology Analyst Jim Rapoza was "saddled" with reviewing then-nascent Web technology when he started in the Labs. This was a lucky break for him, as he got to start working with Web technology very early in its development. And it's pretty safe to say that the the World Wide Web is one of the most important technologies of the century, let alone the last 25 years.
