"This is really the better fix. It charges those that use the extra bandwidth and are willing to pay for it more, and thus helps fund upgrading the network so there is more for everyone," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Sustainabl...

The two things I found particularly interesting last week were the continued focus on the U.S. government's inability to live within its means and Scott Adams, the father of Dilbert, accepting the Windows Phone 7 challenge. The first continues to piss me off because both sides seem to be unable to grasp the need to actually live within a budget, and the second provides a much-needed chuckle and some attention to what is likely the most underappreciated operating system in the market. ...

"I think the bigger issue is that Apple's relatively weak in China, so Dell will be able to define their market and they'll be able to do better with a product that hasn't done well so far," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld Dell did not r...

"With social networks like Google+, there's a great deal of concern surrounding people misusing what is a position of trust," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld This includes sexual predators and identity thieves, Enderle said....

I'm in the midst of doing the biggest tablet review I've ever attempted, and I have to admit I'm rather impressed with a number of the Android offerings. The funny thing is, the ones closest to the phone work the best, suggesting there is a bit of a Windows XP/Vista event going on in this space. ...

"Going into this cycle, it was clear that spendable income hadn't increased and that iPads were likely to cannibalize traffic," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Yes, iPads are driving higher traffic in Apple stores, but people are choosing an iPad and not picking up a Mac as well."

Google+, to be sure, has made astounding progress in the space of a few weeks, Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group told the E-Commerce Times. However, it is important not to lose sight of the big picture, he said -- that is, the 750-million-plus user base that belongs to Facebook.

"Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon are mostly on the same side, as the bigger problem they have right now is textbook content," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble did not respond to requests for comment by press time....

This last week was filled with events that made me wonder how many of our leaders had sent their brains to wacky land. On the political front, the U.S. president, our president, threatened financial default and elderly folks on fixed social security incomes in order to get the U.S. credit limit raised. Threatening old defenseless folks always works so very well, and the collapse of the U.S. credit rating would do wonders (he says sarcastically) for the U.S. recovery. ...

"The weakness Amazon has is they're going to have a tough time getting them on shelves, since it's a great shopping device," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Retail Power to the Rescue...

"In a few months, Kindles are expected to drop below $100, and that, combined with the fact that the Google library isn't very attractive, make the Iriver Story HD a non-starter except for Google employees and readers that just want a lot of old, free books," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

Last week, Facebook launched its video chat, and it once again reminded me that CEOs really should read the book Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs, because Zuckerberg was really boring. Saying that this was going to be an "awesome" announcement and showcasing basic video chat and group text chat was, and I'm being kind, disappointing. Still, Facebook does have something amazing here -- I just don't think it's worked out yet. But I do think this is the beginning of something big. ...

"Availability doesn't equate to use," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out Facebook has "made video chat available to millions" through its tie-in with Skype, but "those same millions have been able to do desktop video conferencing on Skype and othe...

It "has relationships with music providers that rivals Apple's," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "They've been in music for years as a retailer, while Apple is a hardware provider. So Amazon has a core area of strength in music. Plus, they're not tied to any hardware product. They make sure their product works on everything. They're the Switzerland. They stay neutral, and they're very good at doing that."

"Clearly, this connection is good news for Microsoft and bad for Google in terms of share, but it isn't the same thing as Bing being favored," Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. What it does illustrate, however, is that Microsoft can get t...

I just came back from Dell's financial analyst meeting, and the firm is doing amazingly well. That wasn't the way it was a few years ago when folks were calling for a shakeup at the top. Michael Dell, along with an excellent team, turned the firm around, and he kind of did it by channeling Steve Jobs. ...

"They're trying to establish and build a preference for the Google experience so people favor their products," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, remarked This is "positioned directly against similar efforts from Microsoft and Apple," Enderle told TechNewsWor...

"Companies like General Dynamics have massive legal departments and wouldn't pay a fee if they didn't think they owed the money," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out Itronix did not respond to requests for comment by press time....

OK, last week was a really interesting week. We had AMD basically divorcing itself from Intel's model after living under Intel's shadow from inception; we had Google repeating yet another of Microsoft's greatest mistakes; we had IBM repeat a famous political debate by basically saying Oracle wasn't an enterprise vendor anymore; and we had Harry Potter's author begin to kill off publishers and book stores. ...
