Google Sync: Now with push Gmail support

This is big stuff, and if there's anyone actually paying for MobileMe a year from now, well, you already looked like a fool, so what's the difference? The Google Mobile Blog reports today that Google has added push email support to Google Sync, which previously provided that support for Google...

Microsoft's Windows Mobile moves: Too little, too late

So. I'm on vacation this week with spotty connectivity, so it's hard to keep up with the outside world, let along blog about it. (I'll be home Friday.) That said, I feel like I should comment on this week's Windows Mobile news. Here's the word from Microsoft: Today at Mobile World...

Oh my. Microsoft emailed me today to explain that they have licensed intellectual property to Google: Earlier today Google announced Google Sync , which is made possible by a patent license they obtained from Microsoft covering Google’s implementation of the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol on...

Steve Wozniak on the iPod

The Telegraph’s recent interview with Steve Wozniak has gotten a lot of play online today for some reason. I don’t see what the big deal is. He predicts the imminent death of the company's most popular product, the iPod. "The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one," he says. "Things...

iPhone 3G does not capture 17 percent of the US market for cell phones

It’s interesting to me how people contort Apple market share figures to make them look better than they really are. If Apple’s market share of, say, the PC industry isn’t high enough, we’ll just use the US figures without mentioning that’s what happening. Still not high enough? We’ll use a nebulous and...

The Cell Phone Wars

Slate has an interesting comparison of Apple’s very closed model with the iPhone and Google’s very open model with Android: In the two months since the App Store's launch, Apple has rejected several programs for seemingly arbitrary reasons that it won't disclose. Developers havegrumbled about...

iPhone Software Sales Take Off

The Wall Street Journal reports that I’m not the only one downloading an obscene number of iPhone applications: In the month since Apple opened an online software clearinghouse called the App Store, users have downloaded more than 60 million programs for the iPhone, Chief Executive Steve Jobs said in...

NuevaSync: OTA iPhone/Google Sync

I wasted a silly amount of time today trying to get Windows Live Contacts/Calendar to sync with MobileMe (and the iPhone) via Outlook and the new Outlook Connector 12.1 beta. (Long story short: While you can, in fact, make your Windows Live data store the default in Outlook via Account Settings, Apple...

Windows Mobile update

So I wrote a little news story today noting that Microsoft missed its target of selling 20 million Windows Mobile licenses in its fiscal year 2008, which ended June 30. Here’s the company’s take on this news: We are excited to announce that Windows Mobile had yet another year of high growth, closing...

Microsoft tries to throw some cold water on iPhone

Computerworld has some interesting information about Windows Mobile vs. Apple's iPhone: Companies -- lots of them -- are still buying Windows Mobile smart phones, and Microsoft doesn't want to let iPhone mania make them forget. During Microsoft's most recent fiscal year, 325 enterprises purchased...
