Note from Jason Flick
There is little doubt that Google has become a global market innovator. They dominated the search
engine business and are branching out into new areas each month. Of relevance
to mobile technology in business, Google has taken two big steps. One, they
moved into the enterprise space with a new search product. Two, they have moved
into the mobile space with, among others,
Google Local Mobile.
Many are calling this the first useful blackberry application since push E-mail. They have
released the same product for a plethora of java based smart phones as well.
It appears Google's key driver for the mobile space is to augment it's 96%
advertising revenue base with a lucrative mobile content strategy. If
successful it may spur an entire development platform standard allowing
for improved software deployment across all Smartphone devices.

Review: RIM BlackBerry 7130e - A Worthy, Fast Follow Up
February 1, 2006
By Dave Mabe
The BlackBerry 7130e is a welcome addition to Research In Motion's (RIM) 7100 series. Like other models, the 7130e sports the form factor of a standard mobile phone instead of the relatively clunky BlackBerry shape that you might be used to. Best of all, the device is EV-DO capable, allowing it to reach data speeds that far outpace earlier models.

February 4, 2006
By Peter Rojas
Skeptics still abound, but Treo hacker extraordinaire Shadowmite is vouching for
the authenticity of those Treo 700p pics
that popped up yesterday evening; this dude's rep alone is enough to have most
Treo fanatics convinced that this is the real deal.
The new Treo 700p, which will supposedly be available from Sprint in April, will
have a 312MHz processor, Palm OS 5.4.9, EV-DO, 1.3 megapixel digital camera, a
320 x 320 pixel display, and Bluetooth.

Waterloo-based RIM said Thursday.
