According to Instat, Wi-Fi- and Skype-enabled handsets, voice activation for text input, and mapping and traffic routing features resonate well. However, few respondents expressed interest in wireless phones that could be used as a wallet for purchases, or for watching TV programs.
42% of the respondents were very or extremely interested in voice activation for their wireless phones. More than 40% were very or extremely interested in buying a wireless phone with built-in Wi-Fi for voice and data. Just 12% had an interest in buying a wireless phone capable of receiving TV broadcasts.

When it comes to Web services and SOA, people are "learning as they go along, picking and choosing ideal best-user cases," says Sandra Rogers, director of SOA, Web services and integration for IDC. Rogers was recently interviewed on the state of Web services and SOA in IT Business Edge newsletter.
On the uptake of SOA so far: Steady. "Service-oriented architecture has significant mind share. Most large enterprises are planning on rolling it out, but they do say its a mid-to long-term progression, not a short-term project."
Greatest change in thinking: From point-to-point to the enterprise. "Weve moved from simply creating Web services to, How do I aggregate, compose, c...

Ive just come back from a digital hang-ten surfing session on the U.S. PatentandTrademark OfficeWeb site.
Did a search for some newly applied-for Trademarks.
Trademark applications are what companies who are planning to issue products and services do before they release these offerings.
I found an interesting trademark app for router company D-Link.
D-Link already makes a Pocket Router- something you can carry on the road with you.Priced at$69.99, It can connect computers toenable sharing offiles and hotel Internet access, as well as wirelessly connect any Ethernet-enabled client to a 802.11b/g network.

Records management: just do it

Maintaining business records and complying with regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) can keep your company clear of expensive legal trouble. Consider the following circumstance from a recent article on the subject by Randolph A. Khan, Esq.:
In a recent court case, Flour Daniel v.Murphy Oil USA Inc., a litigant was reminded about how seemingly innocuous records management failures can create big headaches. Because one of the parties did not have a written policy regarding e-mail retention and because the company failed to follow its own disaster recovery backup tape recycling schedule, it was confronted with the prospect of reviewing 19.7 million e-mail messages a...

The news is out, and so is adware.

Youve probably heard by now that Download.com no longer lists programs that contain adware. We had been debating this move internally for a while. Once we made the decision, it took about a month to enact it properly. There are a couple of caveats. Download.com is not deciding what is and what is not adware. We are using a variety of antispyware tools to scan new programs for adware. If Spyware Doctor or Spy Sweeper says that its adware, then we wont list it. This practice is similar to how we try to keep viruses off of Download.com. We told the publishers that had adware products on our site about our new policy a bit earlier, to give them time to change their...

End of an era for viruses?

This article on the InfoSec show in London this week could be considered inflammatory. Claims of the end of viruses as a major threat are premature. About the time Outlook stopped executing VB scripts by default is when email born viruses started to pose a diminshed threat. Yet social engineering(marketing) as practiced by virus writers, spammers, and scammers is still an effective way to get people to open and execute attachements. If Outlook ever develops a vulnerability that allows arbitrary execution of code look for a major virus outbreak. I tend to agree with Larry Bidwells statement at the end of the article:
ICSA Labs Bridwell believes there will always be ...
