Sony’s PS3 Plan: Shrewd Strategy or Drapes on the Titanic?

However, the good times may be short-lived for Sony, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, and will not be enough to make the PS3 platform competitive with the Wii or Microsoft's Xbox 360 "Much of this was the elimination of old inventory at discounted pric...

Microsoft Enters Horse in Mobile Display Ad Stakes

"Microsoft is really stepping up their advertising efforts," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "Mobile is the next big battleground, and in 2008 you'll see folks entering this segment that you wouldn't expect. This move by Microsoft is on the tip of what will likely be a huge iceberg."

There were some interesting things going on last week and one of them I ran into by accident. First, I was amazed that Dell got into Best Buy, as this would be like Apple suddenly becoming a Windows reseller, and it falls into the "impossible" class of accomplishments ...

M&As in 2007: Redrawing the Battle Lines

Indeed, by acquiring different pieces of its economic model, Google is "basically becoming an uber-agency -- the place you go for all ad revenue," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "This puts them in a hugely powerful position in terms of controlling and capturing the money that goes toward Internet advertising. It's incredibly strategic, but it has also scared many regulators."

IBM Shines Ray of Light on Processor Technology

"One of the big problems right now is power and heat," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group. "The more power you put into something the hotter it gets. And of course the more processing you're doing on an ever-denser envelope, the hotter it's going to get. Gordon Moore talked about at some point these things were going to be hotter than the sun, if we didn't do something. This is the kind of thing we need to do to keep that from happening."

Dell Scores Retail Hat Trick With Best Buy Deal

Still, landing the partnership is a major win for Dell, Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times "Getting Best Buy for Dell would be like Hillary Clinton getting Rudy Giuliani to endorse her for president. This is huge because Dell and Best Buy oft...

OLPC vs. Intel: Developing Nations or Emerging Markets?

"Corporations seldom do anything that doesn't at least have some potential for profitability, and remember, a lot of these markets are emerging markets," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "The point in getting active in emerging markets is that you rise up with them as they go, and somebody's going to do it. If it's not you, then you have a competitor coming up in those markets and you really can't allow that," he added, noting that Intel's Classmate PC efforts help ensure that Intel has a future in emerging markets...

AOL Unloads Video Download Service to Amazon

"It was probably a smart thing to do. [The service] hadn't done particularly well, and none of the studio-centric efforts had been particularly good so far. And iTunes provides a much better service with regard to video -- they are the leading retailer. So this makes sense. It's better strategically for Time-Warner to use Amazon and not appear to try and compete poorly with anyone that resells their products," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group...

Zonbu Releases Lean, Mean – and Cheap – Notebook Machine

"If you're going to do Linux, I honestly think this is the way to do it. Trying to do Linux like they've traditionally done it -- as a poor man's Windows -- that's never going to fly, and that's going to always be compared against the product that is so far ahead in terms of software support and familiarity," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group...

Murky Outlook Costs Dell on Wall Street

Dell is getting a taste of its own medicine, said Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle "That's the nature of competition," Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "When Dell led the market, everyone was compared to them and generally found wanting. Now HP leads the market an...

Micron Jumps Into Solid State Drive Fracas

SSDs also bring other benefits. "They aren't magnetic so you can use them around machinery more safely," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "They are dead silent -- one of the noisiest things in new PCs is the hard drive. In addition, they...

Last week was a short week, and while you know the outcome of Black Friday, that is still in my future. We did have two big announcements, though ...

Sony Sets Up Shop for PSP Gamers

Wii vs. Xbox vs. PS3: The Holiday Horse Race

"It looks like game consoles are going to sell reasonably well. They show up on the list of top 20 things people are planning to buy, but at the bottom of the top 20, so there are other things that are higher, at least in regards to consoles," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

Notebook Sales Turbocharge HP’s Q4 Profits

Hurd deserves a lot of credit for the job he's done since he replaced Carly Fiorina in early 2005, said Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle. At the time, HP seemed to be in trouble as earnings were below expectations and Fiorina butted heads with the board of directors...
