Intel to Bolster Mobile Ambitions With $1.4B Infineon Buy

Much of this effort won't bear fruit for 12 to 18 months as solutions are built, scaled to these new markets, and designed into hardware, said Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. "But without Infineon, Intel would likely eventually become an insignificant player," he told the E...

Next: The Smartphone and Tablet Wars

This week, Apple is expected to announce a refresh of several iPod products (including the touch) and possibly the Apple TV. The real drama remains with its higher-profile offerings -- the iPhone and iPad -- and last week, Qualcomm gave a credible look at their compelling future. ...

Dark Matter Detector Poised for Magical Mystery Tour

"In the 'Star Trek' series, antimatter is used to power the spaceship's engines, but, for some reason, they needed lithium crystals as well, and it was never clear to me why that was," technology analyst and sci-fi fan Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld If the AMS does discover an...

Garmin Directs Users to Send GPS Units Home

The recall may be related to Garmin's continental lineage. Garmin International's parent, Garmin Limited, is located in Switzerland. "Europe is far less kind than the United States when it comes to situations like this, which can be company killers, so firms there are far more aggressive at correcting such problems," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

The Problem at HP: The Glass Ceiling Was Never Broken

I just finished both reading The Big Lie, a fabulous book if you are into board room dynamics and disasters, and doing massive coverage on the HP Mark Hurd scandal. It is, however, a little unnerving to see some of the most powerful people in the world behave worse than six-year-olds ...

Intel Makes Strategic Mobile Move With McAfee Buy

"Intel has its own software platform for smartphones and likely tablet computers that it shares with Nokia," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out. "That platform will, like the iPhone and iPad, increasingly become a magnet for malware. By owning McAfee, Intel can drive a solution to its platform that would make the iPhone and Android smartphones look less secure by comparison."

Will Google Drop a Chromlet on Black Friday?

"I expect the product to be very raw, more of a late beta than a true final product for some time, but for some, and I'm likely in that group myself, that can actually be OK, given that we like being the first to try stuff out," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

Next-Gen Battery Tech Could Help Power Plants Go With the Flow

"The DARPA funding alone suggests the technology will work," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "This is still very early in the development cycle, but the technology has pulled impressive levels of funding from organizations that are competent, capable and have a history of doing deep analysis before funding."

Hurd Follows Fiorina and Learns Karma Is a Bitch

I spent last week on Mark Hurd's firing, er involuntary resignation, and watched the backstory develop, and it isn't pretty. Hurd was likely the third-hardest guy to fire in Silicon Valley behind Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison -- and yet, at least initially, he seemed to be fired as a result of a false accusation of sexual harassment leading to a global WTF moment.

Oracle Lawsuit Claims Google Slurped Its Java

"Google has a lot of ex-Sun Java folks who likely brought stuff along with them, thinking correctly that Sun wouldn't care," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider. "I doubt Google ever expected to be threatened by Sun." Perhaps the highest-rank...

India Latest to Pump RIM for BlackBerry Access Info

"The capability to generate keys is not controlled by RIM but by the client organizations," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. Thus, in Russia, the carrier generated the secure keys that encrypt communications over BlackBerries on its network...

Samsung Gives 3D TV a Push

"That"s a pretty good price for a portable 3D Blu-ray player," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld Portable Blu-ray players are not new; Panasonic has had one out for about one and a half years, and RCA came out with one some time later, End...

Net Neutrality: Who’s the Boss?

Indeed, "nobody is in charge at this point, and that is creating a problem," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "The expectation among Open Internet Coalition members is that action at the FCC is the best way to pro...

Dangerous Liaisons End Mark Hurd’s Tenure as HP CEO

"When you give someone a lot of power, free up their time, and provide little oversight, they will almost always get into trouble," Rob Enderle, senior analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times "This man was one of the highest paid executives in the world, and wa...

Google, Verizon and Avoiding the Communist Concept of Net Neutrality

Last week, there was uproar about a rumored secret negotiation between Google and Verizon that, if successful, would result in Google customers getting better bandwidth. ...

Telecoms Fret Over Bust-Up of FCC’s Net Neutrality Huddle

The definition of the term "Net neutrality" isn't consistent among all interested parties, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld One concept of Net neutrality holds that all lawful Web-based content, applications and services should be treated...

Microsoft’s Mobile Morass, Part 2

"Microsoft's repeated mistake is to put Windows in places where it doesn't seem to belong or, when creating a blend, to not complete it," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "It either needs to come up with something unique or take Windows where it needs to go to be competitive."

Google Wave, We hardly Knew Ye

"Institutionally, Google doesn't understand people, it doesn't know how to generate demand, and it used the 'throw mud against the wall and see what sticks' method of product development and release," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "Google Wave exemplified all three problems."

Dish Aims Slingbox at iThings, BBs and Androids

"In general, both the satellite and the cable guys have not been very aggressive with streaming," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "They've always wanted you on their network. But with Verizon doing this FiOS-Motorola thing, I think we're going to see them opening up quite a bit."

Are Motorola and Verizon Building a Boob Tab?

An alternative possibility is that such a tablet TV device "likely will network with the FIOS DVR system in the home and either cache or stream content from it," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "So it will get access to digital TV content -- not by going directly to the source, but by using the existing home video capture system."
