The top stories of last week were the 4G and will it become the ‘game changer’ the industry expects; we heard the same about 3G and how wonderful it would be. The 3G networks leave much to be desired in many ways, but we are still doing more on a small handheld device weighing a few ounces that we were on our desktops not that long ago.
Motorola is betting the farm on Android and the Cliq resuscitating Motorola’s handset division and getting it off life support. T-Mobile has also jumped head first into Android and will have 3 handsets available on their network; will Android be able to battle Apple’s iPhone in the enterprise space?
Research in Motion (RIM) announced Q2 results which showed lower profits and their shares tumbled as the news hit the financial markets. With a modest forecast, is the iPhone taking an even larger bite out of RIM’s valued Enterprise market? RIM has teased us with a pending launch of new higher-end BlackBerry devices; will it offset their market share loss?
Finally, AT&T unlocked the MMS (picture messaging) feature on the iPhone Friday morning and everyone was holding their collective breath to see if AT&T’s network would crash and burn or slow to a crawl. It seemed neither happened so I guess all is ok in AT&T-ville.
Monday is almost here and I wonder what the hot stories will be – stay tuned.
