Follow along with me as I attempt to marry th...
The launch of the iPhone 4 may have brought mobile video calling to the public's attention, but, the fact is, the capability has been available for some time from software makers both large and small. One such player in the video-calling space is Fring, a UK-based company that makes an app for a ran...
When Apple brings out a new phone, my advice typically is to wait a couple of months for the problems to surface, and then they will either be fixed or known and you can make a more educated decision. However we haven't seen the number of problems with the latest iPhone since, well, ever. To summar...
YouTube's decision to make its mobile Web site compatible with HTML5 may one day be viewed as a turning point in what is shaping up as an epic battle for control of the mobile device landscape.

As part of an overhaul of its public-facing front-door website, USA.gov, the U.S. federal government has released the first in a long list of planned mobile phone applications for citizens.

One of the things that bothers me about technology companies -- and I could start with Apple and end up with Google -- is that freedom is often part of what we give up when we buy their products. This can range from having to manage too many things, to being locked into a platform, to having no sa...
"Orders for the iPhone 4 Top 600,000, Apple Says," according to a New York Times headline last Wednesday.

Microsoft's Project Natal, which lets Xbox 360 players control a game through body movement...
You don't have to be an Apple fanboy to rave about the coolness on display during a typical Steve Jobs keynote presentation. Sure, like any good speaker or stand-up comic, Jobs knows where his guaranteed applause/laugh lines fall during the hour or so he's on stage, and he's well aware of who will b...
Talk about dealing from a position of strength: Apple and Steve Jobs enter next week's Worldwide Developers Conference as kings of the tech industry hill, makers of must-have consumer products and generators of must-read technosphere headlines. He strode onstage at this week's D8 Conference to the o...
Thanks to advances in computer-generated technology, the images simply jump out at you from the TV screen, as all good commercials should: massive sheets of orange fabric covering up the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles and unfolding down the sides of buildings on the Las Vegas Strip, dropping from the...
President Obama on Sunday delivered a commencement address that included warning graduates of the "distraction" posed by technologies like Apple's iPod and iPad devices. "You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of argume...
Can you still support the First Amendment, the blogging community and all that is holy in journalism, and still think that what Gizmodo did re: the lost iPhone was kind of sleazy? Is Gizmodo's crime one of an ethical/moral nature, or one that is worthy of a police raid by elite members of SWAT -- Se...
Android 2.2, code-named "Froyo," will fully support Adobe's Flash platform, Andy Rubin, Google's vice president of engineering, told The New York Times' Bits blog Tuesday. Google's show of Flash support came weeks after Apple, Android's rival, announced changes that made it more difficult for Flash ...
