I've never been big on global positioning satellite devices. Even though I'm a technophile, it just seemed like one gadget too many. What was wrong with using a map? Unless you're someone whose job demands you travel to locations with which you're not familiar, most people go to generally the same p...
Opera launched the second beta of its Mobile 9.5 Web browser Monday. The release includes Opera's new Widget feature, which provides one-click Web content access, according to the company.

Intel showed off its latest platform aimed at mobile Internet devices Sunday at the company's Developer Forum in Taipei, Taiwan. Dubbed "Moorestown," Intel said it expects to ship the platform in 2009 or 2010. "Moorestown is the first ultra mobile platform and is much, much better than Atom on curre...
I was tempted to pick FUD as a topic and talk about how McCain's use of it killed his campaign. However, last week we had two major launches, one of which was Apple releasing its latest notebooks and embracing graphics as a defining feature but avoiding Blu-ray and HDMI. Apple works to drive the ma...
Verizon and Motorola launched another touchscreen wireless phone into the market Tuesday. However, unlike other touch screen handsets, the Krave ZN4 is a flip phone with a new spin -- a transparent plastic cover. That design feature provides users with one-touch access to photos, the music player, t...
A Storm is coming to Verizon Wireless, and it may have the features and functionality to pose a significant challenge for Apple and the iPhone 3G. The carrier unveiled a new touchscreen smartphone Tuesday from Research In Motion, the BlackBerry Storm. "This is an important, important device. It show...
Just in time for the 2008 holiday season, Sony unveiled a new addition to its line of e-book readers Thursday. The PRS-700, which features a six-inch touchscreen, will join the PRS-505 on store shelves in November. Weighing in at about 10 ounces and capable of storing about 350 average-length digita...
Nokia introduced its first big touchscreen phone in London Thursday: the 5800 XpressMusic, formerly known as the "Tube." While Nokia isn't positioning the phone outright as an iPhone killer, it certainly shares some similarities of the popular Apple device -- and one that really jabs at Apple's stre...
Nintendo unveiled its new DSi portable game system Wednesday in Japan. The revamped portable game console reportedly sports a larger screen; not one, but two 3-megapixel cameras, and an audio player. The DSi replaces Nintendo's very popular DS and joins the DS Lite, the company's other handheld gami...
Sprint's new 4G wireless WiMax network has finally moved from the drawing board to the city of Baltimore, where the company has just launched its so-called Xohm service. Xohm is basically a wireless broadband service running on 2.5 GHz. It is designed deliver 2 to 4 Mbps downloads and work with lapt...
Last week was so ugly the economic conditions had me up on YouTube looking for things to put a smile on my face, and I found two -- one that has the "Pimp My Ride" folks pimping an IT shop with an Xbox -- not some marketing group's best moment -- and an HP ad spoof that has Steve Jobs selling HP com...
Maybe everybody involved in the debate over wireless spectrum white spaces should give each other a little, well, space, if the acrimonious comments broadcasting from Washington, D.C., this week are any indication. Google cofounder Larry Page contributed to the high-stakes static during a speech Wed...
The unveiling Tuesday of HTC's much-anticipated G1 handset for T-Mobile, the first device running Google's Android mobile operating system, looks to be the opening salvo in a battle for smartphone consumers between Google and Apple. Although the first-generation G1 and second-gen iPhone are not exac...
Intel began shipping its Atom Processor 330 Friday. The chip is the latest addition to the Atom product line and has been specifically designed to run on so-called nettops -- desktop computers built primarily in order to surf the Web, send e-mail and perform basic Internet tasks, the company said.

Last week, HP's ex-CEO and current Republican Spokesperson Carly Fiorina, in a poorly thought-out attempt to help McCain win, indicated that none of the presidential or vice presidential hopefuls could be CEOs like she was. Given she was fired, I was thinking, gee I hope so, but she intended the com...
