Although I'm sure this will be very handy for developers, especially smaller ones which may not have been able to afford third party analytics for its apps and games, I do worry that an increased focus on data can turn what...

Yeah, I was given a free Z10 at the launch event -- like everyone else there. It was fine - a decent, state-of-the-industry (though not of the art) phone for its day. But then all the phone snobs would look at the Blackberry...

BlackBerry still makes good products, and its software is superior. My problem is with BlackBerry's integration, or lack thereof, with mobile phone carriers in the US. I bought a Q10 during the short time period...

Gary, totally agree that the wireless infrastructure is growing in importance and will become far more complex, especially as IoT and sensor networks proliferate. In addition to challenging Cisco, HP will also upset Aruba's...

I am sorry. I don't know where you get your information but beside Windows 7, no one in the general public has ever applauded a Microsoft OS on release. Windows 95 had people furious most of that caused by compatibility...
