Mobile is getting grounded, HP CEO Leo Apotheker has announced. In 2012, HP will include the mobile operating system it purchased with Palm in 2009, webOS, on every PC it ships, along with the latest version of stationary computing standard Microsoft Windows. HP seeks to expand the webOS platform's ...
Enterprises are coming to realize that while their VPNs might be doing a fine job of controlling data, mobile devices have turned into a veritable wild west of security nightmares. It was all well and good when the only thing they had to worry about was data being accessed by enterprise BlackBerry u...
Samsung's invites to a March 22 event at the CTIA Wireless trade show have kicked up rumors that the company plans to launch yet another version of its Galaxy Tab line, which already has 7-inch and 10.1-inch models. The invitation includes an image of what looks like a tablet device, with the words ...
The biggest event last week was Apple's launch of the iPad with Steve Jobs presenting it. While many seem to see the new iPad as an iterative release and not as exciting as the first one, I think it will quickly eclipse its predecessor. It is vastly more capable and moves even closer to being a ful...
Unlike its arch-rival, the Apple iPad, the Motorola Xoom tablet is easy to open up for repairs and upgrades. "It appears Motorola built the Xoom to be upgraded, so they have this parting line about an inch from the top on the back that lets you separate the device into two pieces," Miroslav Djuric, ...
Since it was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show last January, the Motorola Xoom tablet has been hailed as the strongest challenge yet to Apple's iPad. However, it faces two possible obstacles to widespread acceptance: Its price, and its lack of a WiFi-only version. The Xoom has both 3G and Wi...
An issue that periodically makes its way into public discourse -- the impact and possible dangers to brain development and health posed by the ubiquitous use of cellphones -- is being revisited thanks to a newly published scientific study in JAMA. However, rather than offering any definitive answer...
Microsoft released its first software update for Windows Phone 7 this week -- and promptly stubbed its toe. The update reportedly caused problems with Omnia 7 and Focus smartphones, both made by Samsung. Some users complained that the update left their phones "bricked," or rendered completely inoper...
Ten-4. Back to you. Over. On a radio or over the TV airwaves, speakers have to rely on back-and-forth communications because radio traffic only flows in one direction at a time on a frequency. Or so said scientific conventional wisdom, until Stanford researchers developed so-called "full duplex" r...
HTC unveiled its first Android tablet Tuesday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Called the "Flyer," it has a seven-inch screen and comes with a stylus. The HTC Flyer runs on a 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor and uses HTC's Sense user interface over Android 2.3, aka "Gingerbread." It's posi...
"Big screen, middle screen, little screen," might be a fast way to describe the journey of 3D technology, the last leg of which LG unveiled Monday at the Mobile World Congress. The world's first three-dimensional smartphone, LG's Optimus 3D runs the Android operating system on a 4.3-inch LCD glasses...
The Mobile World Congress kicked off in Barcelona, Spain, this week, giving manufacturers a chance to flaunt the wares they hope to begin selling over the next few months. With the recent release of Google's Android 3.0, aka "Honeycomb," vendors at MWC were quick to show new tablets running the mobi...
Research In Motion has been attempting -- unsuccessfully, for the most part -- to keep details about its forthcoming tablet, PlayBook, under wraps. Despite its best efforts, news of its pricing, availability -- and now, the surprising possibility that it will run Android apps -- has steadily made it...
Dell earlier this week announced plans to offer a business-ready Windows 7 tablet with a 10-inch screen later this year. Whether or not Windows 7 in its current form is a suitable operating system for tablets remains to be seen. HP last year waffled between offering a Slate tablet running Windows 7 ...
It was deja vu for President Barack Obama and the FCC, as both unveiled broad plans this week to expand broadband access. Obama revisited an idea he presented last June with the launch on Thursday of his Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative. Although White House officials spun the plan ...
