Is It a Bird? Is It a Plane? No, It’s a Clark Kent Phone

Today Microsoft launches Windows Phone 7, and I've been thinking about this phone a lot over the last month. The closest metaphor to what makes this phone different from others is Superman. This isn't because when Superman launched, this hero was the underdog but rose to be the most powerful, in terms of movies, TV shows and branding of all that proceeded and followed him -- too early by far for that connection. ...

UAE to RIM: We’re Cool

RIM had a couple of options to get out of the ban threatened by the UAE, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times.

Logitech Raises Curtain on Google TV With Mixed Revue

"I think we're seeing the industry struggling to meld the Web experience designed for PCs into one designed for homes and TVs," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "The two come at the market from different ways -- one assumes you need a keyboard and the other assumes you don't. Logitech is the best in the market with remote controls right now, and it's difficult to imagine anyone could do it better, but it still isn't good enough," he added...

Nobel-Worthy Graphene Work Promises Smaller, Greener Chips

HP: Finally Some Heroics in a Corporate Boardroom

India Gives RIM’s Secure Channel Access Thumbs Down

"RIM is between a rock and a hard place," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "If they do what India wants they will bleed customers. If they don't, they lose India -- one of the fastest-growing markets in the world. And India is hardly alone in this."

New WebP Image Format Could Send JPEG Packing

Can Apotheker Mix Up a Cure for What Ails HP?

"I think you have to look at the combination of Apotheker and Lane," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times.

Their appointments send a very strong signal that HP, like IBM, is calling out Oracle as the company they're most worried about."

AOL’s Existential Shopping Spree

Although AOL is putting a new bow on its business model, to some the model has a familiar look to it. "We're going back to the days of a Super Portal, a place where you go and live," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times "...

IBM’s Atomic Speed Gauge Could Mean Big Things for IT

Not at all, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "A terrorist attack's goal is to create fear," Enderle pointed out. "The goal of this attack wasn't fear, and it was probably launched by a nation-state in a state of undeclared war with anothe...
