The Technological Chameleon

Research In Motion (RIM) in my opinion is currently a technological chameleon. It does not know whether it is an enterprise juggernaut or a consumer electronics manufacturer. It seems the company is struggling with their identity and are on a bit of a downward spiral. I must confess I am surprised that the RIM shareholders have given their blessing to having 2 co-CEO’s. One ultimate responsible person is the norm and it ensures that one vision is given to all the staff. I am not convinced that by having 2 co-CEO’s someone is ultimately responsible for product decisions etc. I am a firm believer in...

HTC Unveil The EVO 3D

Three dimensional viewing of content on any device is the next big challenge that electronic manufacturers face. Consider the impact High Definition has had on TV’s and the services that have been made especially for it, etc. Once you have viewed anything on an HD LCD TV, you can immediately feel the difference between HD and non HD television.

As soon as all the advertisements faded in the press, the Optimus all but disappeared. I believe the first proper 3D cellphone will be...

I believe the reason for this is that opinion leaders in the cellphone industry thought this could be the first Nokia phone featuring Windows Phone 7 as the primary operating system. Since the...

The Veer is Here

They say dynamite comes in small packages. We all know the damage that can be done by a piece of dynamite. Yes, it is not a pretty sight. When HP bought Palm last year it was for one major reason, the WebOS software that Palm makes for mobile devices. So it is not surprising that they first launched a Tablet that uses the software. I think the TouchPad got a luke warm appraisal at best. This week sees the launch of the first smart phone that features the HP WebOS (note the name change). The HP Veer is according to HP “the smallest smart phone in the world” and is a very important little device. The...
