You can save a lot of money just by knowing where your people and equipment are at any given point in time, according to Jaap Groot, CEO of FindWhere. Even better, you don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money doing it since many cell phones and smart phones already come equipped with GPS receivers. All you have to do is enable it for your use. Groot explains how.

No doubt you've heard this before, but it's important to hear it again. Keep your personal e-mail and your business e-mail separate. Do not mix them. Analyst J.

Apple's iPhone 3G is a very cool device. But do enterprise IT staffs really care? They already support RIM's BlackBerry and the Windows Mobile, Palm and Symbian OSes.

A key court case in a long-winding patent dispute between the world's top cell phone maker Nokia and U.S. technology company Qualcomm starts July 23 in a Delaware courtroom.
News
Nokia, the world's largest cell phone maker, and wireless chip supplier Qualcomm go to court July 23 in hopes of resolving a licensing fight that involves hundreds of millions of dollars and has spawned lawsuits on three continents. Qualcomm's case against Nokia is based on a 1992 licensing agreement that allowed Nokia to use Qualcomm's patents in its phones. That license expired in 2007, after Nokia paid Qualcomm $1 billion in fees and considered it to be paid up. Qualcomm disagreed and is seeking payment.
Video
Between the Aug. 8 opening events and the Aug. 24 closing ceremonies NBC will film 4,000 hours of footage and broadcast nearly 3,000 hours of it on its family of TV networks and Web site. To film, edit and broadcast all the footage in a timely manner, NBC partnered with Isilon Systems and Omneon Video Networks. Together they developed a complex editing process using big storage infrastructure and tagging technology; Intel’s Centrino is Intel’s fifth mobile platform for notebooks and the chip maker claims it will increase laptop battery life while delivering speedier performance and faster wireless connectivity; Repsol, a top ten oil producer teamed with the IBM and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center project to produce more accurate drilling and exploration maps. More accurate maps make drilling cheaper and faster.
Respol is using the power of the IBM PowerXCell 8i processor to speed up the imaging algorithm used to render the maps; and Apple opened the doors to its iPhone App store last week, unleashing more than 500 applications for iPhone users. With all the options you might forget it’s a phone or the offspring of a music player.
