Worldwide Handheld Device 2008-2012 Forecast and Analysis

This IDC study presents the five-year forecast for worldwide handheld device shipments. The handheld device market, as currently constituted, will continue to decline as users transition to other devices that meet their needs. Handheld device vendors, hard-pressed to remain within this market, will either decrease shipment volumes or withdraw from the market altogether. Despite this dour outlook, there will remain a group of loyal users and vendors that will keep the market alive, but at a steadily decreasing rate over time. One major consideration for the handheld device market is convergence and how other devices using the architecture of handheld devices, namely portable media devices and mobile Internet devices, have begun to gain salience in the marketplace.

The New School of Information Security

Ben Rothke writes "It is 2008 and never has so much been spent in information security. Year after year, more and more security hardware and software is purchased, more and more security professionals are hired, and more security is done; yet things are not getting better. Every indicator, every pundit, everything points to more security breaches, vulnerabilities and incidents. Large amounts of proprietary data are compromised on a daily basis. Obviously something is wrong, yet the entire industry goes along thinking things are getting better and more secure. Obviously something needs to change. And that new change is what The New School of Information Security attempts to conceive."

More Gray, More Affluent, More Internet Shopping

In the more than 80 metropolitan markets surveyed by The Media Audit, a recent study shows that those who are over age 50 with incomes of $50,000 or more (the "graying and affluent") have increased from 17.0 million in 2004 to 22.3 million during the past five years. Collectively, the markets surveyed have an adult population of approximately 142 million.

Working with XML Data Using LINQ, a TreeView, and a ListView :: Displaying Data

With more and more data being stored in XML, web applications today commonly need some way to view and edit the data stored in an XML file from a web page interface. If the XML data is relatively "flat" and tabular in nature, we can use data Web controls like the DataGrid, GridView, and Repeater. (See Quickly Editing XML Data for an example of editing XML data through a DataGrid control.) But what if the XML data is more hierarchical and in a less tabular format? Consider a company-wide phone book, which is recursively structured into branches and departments, subdepartments, and so forth. How can this XML data, which can have any number of nodes and any level of children, be displayed and edited through a web page? More...

Thoughts on phone privacy

It's 5:36pm and you're putting the food on the table for your family's evening meal. The phone rings. Everyone looks hesitantly at everyone else. Who's going to pick up the phone this time? Everyone can guess what the phone call is about. You're tempted to let the answering machine catch it but you're tentatively waiting for call from your boss. You pick up the phone and say, "Hello." Your family, who have taken their seats at the table, take one look at your face and all shake their heads. Their guess was right. You listen to a little of the spiel before you slam down the phone whispering obscenities toward the contraption.

TechFaith to launch mobile phone based on Google's Android platform byyear's end

Shanghai. March 12. INTERFAX-CHINA - Nasdaq-listed Chinese mobile phone design house TechFaith Wireless intends to launch a mobile phone based on Google's Android platform at the end of this year, an official from the company said yesterday. "We will launch a mobile phone based on the Android platform at the end of this year.

Unique functions of the Android platform include seamless integration of Google services, including Google search and Google Earth, Lee said. "We still don't know which customers we will provide the product to.

iPhone 2.0 extravaganza

As we draw nearer to the iPhone 2.0 software release, we slowly but surely learn more and more about the upgrade that makes us more and more anxious for it's June release. Be it coming from Apple officially, lucky people who get to toy around with beta builds of the firmware, or hackers who are working on it as we speak. More and more it looks like it's fair to say that a 3g model will be released in conjunction with 2.0 as well it looks like Apple is getting closer to fixing the qualms most people have with this amazing device. Over the past few days we've been hearing quite a bit on the near future of the device, what have we been hearing?

Mandrake Linux 10 Community Edition: The Potential is Now Obvious

IconI have completely skipped Mandrake Linux 9.2 because previous versions of Mandrake Linux were not exactly that "glamorous". However, I wanted to try out the new Linux kernel 2.6.x on my new Linare PC and so I decided to give Mandrake 10.0 Community Edition a spin. Here are some quick thoughts on it on how MandrakeSoft has earned back my trust with this release. Update: MadPenguin reviews it too. UPDATE 2: More bugs, more bugs. I have changed the rating of the software because as much as I keep using it, I find more and more and more bugs all over the place. MandrakeSoft should REALLY sit down and think hard about their QA department (I have already emailed them about it).

Getting a grip on handheld devices

Image of woman using handheld deviceCompanies today do not have a firm grasp of the security vulnerabilities associated with their handheld devices. Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs), Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), email and paging devices (such as the BlackBerry), and other hybrid handheld communication devices are found in the hands of most every business manager these days but their inherent vulnerabilities are largely overlooked. Perhaps this is because of their size, mobility or relatively inexpensive costs. Either way, these devices do not register on the radar of most systems administrators and are wrongly perceived as not as vulnerable as end user terminals connecting via hardwire to a LAN, WAN or the internet. The popularity, proliferation and rapidly evolving technology associated with the devices make them extremely susce

Softbank debuts PhoneBraver robot cell phone buddy

Behold, your new cell phone master has arrived in the form of Softbank's new PhoneBraver model. In addition to anthropomorphic legs and arms, giving it a distinctly Transformers look, the phone's screen also displays faces to correspond to the unit's conversations with the user. Among the programmed responses the PhoneBraver will offer its user, frequent calls to a particular number may prompt the phone to chirp, "You're calling her often these days, aren't you?" The phone/robo-buddy was modeled after a character appearing on a Japanese television show called "Cellphone Investigator 7." Softbank hasn't announced a pricing plan, but the device is scheduled to be released in April.

Video: LG Vu all-touch MediaFLO phone joins Apple iPhone on AT&T

LG Vu The LG Vu is a nice, polished phone that does a fine job handling AT&T's new Mobile TV network. The interface isn't perfect, far from it, but compared to other multimedia phones on AT&T's network, with one notable exception, it is the most fun of the bunch. Best of all, AT&T's mobile TV network looks great on this phone, from the video playback to the onscreen program guide. Unfortunately, the Vu has some aggressive brethren in the touchscreen phone arena. And here we're not thinking of the iPhone, or the recently released Samsung Instinct. Rather, we wonder why the Vu isn't the Viewty, LG's high-end video and multimedia phone available in Europe. With it's 2.0-megapixel autofocus camera, as well as its intuitive, though simple touch interface, there are some winning features.

Inventor Celebrates the 35th Anniversary of his First Cellular Phone Call

Thirty-five years ago today, the first ever public cellular phone call was made by Martin Cooper. Cooper, who invented the portable cell phone, placed that call on April 3, 1973 while he was the general manager of Motorola's Communications Systems Division. That first call, placed to Cooper's rival at AT&T's Bell Labs from the streets of New York City, was the beginning of a revolution that has changed the lives of three billion people worldwide. A cell phone call is a call to a person in contrast with wired phone calls that are to a place.

Under the Hood: Evolution of the smart phone

It is interesting to look at the different ways that HTC and Nokia, two companies that have very competitive and successful smart-phone offerings, arrived at their latest products. HTC used its background as a PDA manufacturer to create the TyTN 2, essentially incorporating phone functionality into a PDA. Nokia came into the smart-phone market from cell phones, so it needed to find ways to increase functionality without substantially increasing the size of its latest phone, the N95.
