I have to confess that I hadn’t actually heard about the problems with the iPhone 4 and Microsoft Exchange until I was answering questions on NPR’s Kojo Nnamdi show, where Rob Pegoraro from The Washington Post and I were the in-studio guests for TechTuesday. Toward the end of the show a caller asked about a […]

The announcement by Nokia Siemens Networks that it will buy Motorola’s wireless network infrastructure business for $1.2 billion will free the wireless product maker from its struggle to compete with larger competitors, while also giving it the cash it needs to carry out its plans to split the company into two independent and publicly traded […]

Apple’s Steve Jobs, in a hastily called news conference, announced July 16 that the iPhone 4 really doesn’t have any problems.

Right now most of the attacks are against the commercial interests of the United States, much like the attacks against Google earlier this year in which the Chinese government attempted to breach the company’s security to steal source code and to learn the identities of human rights activists. But […]

In the week preceding July 4, Microsoft killed the Kin and T-Mobile killed the Sidekick. And sometime soon, other well-known smartphones will fade away, such as the iPhone 3GS and the original Motorola Droid. This in itself isn’t surprising. After all, smartphones have stepped onto a treadmill of constant change as a way to keep […]

In his article in eWEEK’s sister publication, Smarter Technology, Dennis McCafferty reports on the results of a study that shows that White House efforts at consolidating federal data centers to save money and improve operational and energy efficiency will be a tough nut to crack. As McCafferty points out, the agencies are territorial, they don’t […]

Hewlett-Packard’s completion of its Palm acquisition July 1 means that the smartphone business has a new, highly important player that could change the landscape in ways that matter to enterprise users. By buying Palm, HP gets access to its current devices, the Pre and Pixi in both regular (for Sprint) and Plus (for Verizon Wireless) […]
