The TouchSmart tm2 is scheduled for availability in the U.S. Jan. 17 at a starting price of $949 -- not very expensive relative to other touchscreen devices. "There's a shortage of touch-enabled displays at the moment, and they tend to be kind of expensive in a value-focused market," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.
Google appears to have succeeded to some extent with the Nexus One. "From the hardware standpoint, it's more advanced than the iPhone," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "It has a better display, it has a better camera, and it uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 1 GHz processor, which means it will work on pretty much any carrier in the United States, Europe and Asia when you buy it unlocked." ...
Lenovo's beefing up of its consumer product line, especially with the Skylight, may help its efforts to be perceived as more than just a PC vendor for the enterprise market, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. Skylight to Open Up New Marke...
Tablet devices will be among the "hottest" going into this coming year, Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld Each of the ARM vendors is looking at this class, in fact, reflecting a competition with Intel that could end up bei...
Each of the last five decades in technology was defined largely by the decisions of one of the major vendors: the 1970s by AT&T; the 80s by IBM; the 90s by Microsoft; and the 2000s by Apple. Google is the favorite for defining the 2010s, or teen decade -- and that's a good focus for discussion as we get ready for a battle royal this week between the company of the 2000s and the company of the 2010s.
The most important thing about this latest hack is that it used relatively inexpensive, widely available technology. "Processing power is increasing dramatically, with GPU (graphics processing units) in particular," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, said. "This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how this power could be used to hack into otherwise secure data streams." ...
The lines between smartphones and netbooks may become blurred, predicts Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Smartbooks, which really are netbooks offered by carriers, and smartphones are drifting very close to each other," he told TechNewsWorld. "A smartphone may simply become a small netbook and vice versa." ...
How likely is Google to settle for 64 GB SSDs? Very likely, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "It's all about the price point, and SSDs with 64 GB capacity or less are vastly more affordable than those with 128 GB or more," he explained. While SSD prices will inevitably fall, "a good 128 GB SSD will likely cost more than Google can sell the netbook for," Enderle pointed out.
From a technology perspective, this decade -- with Apple and Google being exceptions -- sucked. There were some interesting things that happened that set us up for the teen decade, though, and that fuel anticipation for the 20s, which a hundred years ago, was actually a decade of wonder and excitement (and had a better name). ...
Both the console and PC game markets are suffering at the moment, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Hardcore gaming is declining in general, he said, in much the same way that the traditional TV market is fragmenting "The problem for both gaming segment...
"Forty percent of the retail price is quite a hefty sum," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Still, it's better than alienating a lot of existing customers who may end up with Amazon.com's Kindle instead," he told the E-Commerce Times. "Right now, Ba...

That has led to expectations of strong sales, which in turn are pulling chip vendors into the market for mobile computing chips. This could cause Intel a headache. "The big problem for Intel is ARM and the massed number of companies, ranging from Marvell and Qualcomm to Nvidia and Freescale, that are suddenly focused on this emerging segment of small personal products," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.
This is the question that is floating around this year. What is strange is that people act like the anticipated Apple device is made of fairy gold and powered by gnome breath. It will do everything and anything you want because we all know it is surrounded and protected by Steve Jobs' now-famous reality distortion field. ...
There's been a lot of buzz about 3-D players in recent months, the Enderle Group's Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld. This has only been bolstered by director James Cameron's new 3-D movie "Avatar," which hits theaters this week, Enderle said. "'Avatar' is the poster child for this technology," he pointed out.
"This could lead to smart services that better anticipate users' needs and quickly customize themselves to the user," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "This could be a game changer." ...
I've often wondered what you would get if you combined Apple and IBM. The two companies have little overlap today in either customers or products, and both have what the other lacks to grow their respective markets significantly. While the cultural issues would likely make such a merger not only inadvisable but impossible to actually do, both firms could learn a lot from the other. ...
Device manufacturers could prove to be a sticking point, however. Whether or not they accept the consortium's standards will depend on how badly they want its content, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Text media isn't as well-controlled as either music or movies, suggesting the consortium lacks the power it needs to drive device makers to it," he pointed out. This could lead to fragmentation and push the consortium and possibly the e-reader industry into failure, Enderle warned.
The real-time search capability could impact ad revenues at professional news sites, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out. "People will be spending more time on Google properties and increasingly clicking on ads that provide Google with revenue at the expense of the professional news sites," he explained.
