Power-Sipping Nanotech Could Give Rise to Methuselah Batteries

"It's likely that racetrack memory will compete to some extent with PCM," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "The two appear to have similar uses." Getting to the Money...

Could Nvidia’s CEO Be the Next Steve Jobs?

I'm writing this before the iPad release last week, so you now know what I don't -- whether it met expectations. I imagine Apple sold out, but things aren't looking so rosy at the moment, and I wonder if it will sustain the kind of growth the iPad 1 did ...

Sprint, T-Mobile Merger Rumors – No Pain, No Gain?

From that perspective alone the deal makes sense, Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group told the E-Commerce Times. "T-Mobile and Sprint have been struggling for relevance in a U.S. market defined by Verizon and AT&T." A Tech Issue...

Apple, Personal Computing and Owning the Future

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 full PC. ...

Bing Capitalizes on the Online Coupon Craze

"This is a deal aggregator which pits the deal sites against each other," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "It will put a lot of pressure on their margins and make it even more critical that they find ways to differentiate other than just price." ...

Google Tapes Up Gmail Sprain

However, Google's explanation doesn't wash with Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "A backup process should never delete what it's backing up," Enderle told TechNewsWorld. "That's a going-out-of-business problem."

Making Steve Jobs Immortal

Last week, I tried to come up with some epic things I would like to think I'd do were I given six weeks to live -- a rumor that's been floating around about Steve Jobs -- and was as insanely wealthy as he is. The purpose was to focus on something other than the end we will all eventually share. ...

Did Xoom Whiff It on WiFi?

"About a third of iPad buyers got the 3G model, but only about one third of them turned 3G on," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "They bought the 3G capability as insurance since you can't add it later." Only about 10 percent of iPad buy...

Enterprise Sales Not Enough to Keep HP Humming

"HP is doing impressively well in servers, networking and especially printers, given that is a declining market," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "However, they are being defined by their consumer client business and they need to make the webOS effort a success. Their initial start isn't promising."

If I Were Steve Jobs and Had Six Weeks to Live

One of the sad rumors to break last week was that Steve Jobs may have six weeks to live. I've had several people close to me die of cancer. One stepmother was given a few months, but she actually lived more than a year and did a number of amazing things. Another stepmother died two days after the initial diagnosis, and my uncle died ugly in three months. ...

Google Cozies Up to Publishers With Friendlier Subscription Plan

"It positions very solidly against Apple's policy of wanting 30 percent of anything sold on their products and is vastly more consumer- and store-friendly," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "However, if Apple demonstrates they can sell more product than Google, they can offset somewhat the power of this."

MeeGo After Nokia: ‘I Will Survive’ or ‘Where Did Our Love Go’?

"While MeeGo does get some cofunding from Intel, right now it's very difficult for anyone to rise above the noise from Apple," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider. "The Android stuff is drowning itself out because of the large number of me-too vendors."

Honeycomb Hysteria: Pad Madness Strikes MWC

"Samsung stuck carriers with the first Galaxy Tab and has so far refused to help them reduce price to move the excess inventory, so they aren't likely to get a great deal of excitement about their new product," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

Why Innovation Really Doesn’t Matter

I'm writing this at the IE9 launch, which happened last Thursday, and this morning I had an epiphany. Don't worry -- I'm pretty sure my meds will kick in momentarily, but until they do, it strikes me that with all the focus on innovation and Apple, Apple doesn't really innovate that much. What it does is focus and out-execute every company it competes with in most every product. One exception is Safari; Microsoft, the Mozilla Foundation and Google regularly kick Apple's butt.

Activision Euthanizes ‘Guitar Hero’

"'Guitar Hero' getting killed -- you'd think that was one of their big titles," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "I was surprised by it. But people have moved more to the Web for their entertainment. I guess 'Guitar Hero' ran its course, and Activision has moved on to bigger and better things."

Anonymous Swarms on Security Firm That Poked the Hive

Giving an interview to the Financial Times was probably a mistake, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "One thing you quickly learn as a security company is that you don't go out and bait people," Enderle said. "You don't go out and seek new...

Is Apple Drifting to the Wrong Path?

History is filled with stories of companies that dominated their segment and then either fell from that high spot or fell off the map. RCA is probably the best example of a firm that went from dominance to obsolescence because, in its case, it played chicken with the U.S. government and lost. ...

Seasoned Devs May See a Sweet Deal in Honeycomb

The Tegra 2 processor gives Honeycomb a distinct advantage in gaming, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider "Increasingly, Android's using Nvidia's Tegra 2 hardware, which lets it outperform much of what's out there," Enderle explained....

Google Debuts a Honey of an OS

While these Honeycomb notifications are "stronger and more impressive" than those offered by Apple's iOS for now, the two companies "will begin to leapfrog each other going forward," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out Google did not respond to req...

Google’s Bing Sting Could Backfire

On the other hand, Rob Enderle was taken aback by Google's nerve in even raising the issue, considering it uses similar practices -- and has committed far worse transgressions with the use of search data over the years. "Google regularly scans this same material to improve th...
