Talk about a good rebuttal. In the face of stronger than ever iPhone hype and entrenched competition from RIM, the Windows Mobile team has done darn well for itself in the past six months. Microsoft's press conference at Mobile World Congress (3GSM) 2008 was something of a counter-punch to the iPhone...

The ugly-duckling of Mobile TV standards definitely didn’t get off to a good start in 2007. MediaFLO, wholly owned by lawsuit-loving Qualcomm, has shown that 2007 wasn’t a great year for profits. MediaFlo’s 2007 statement-filing with the SEC details yet another year of red-ink. Qualcomm’s...

It’s hard to believe that the Virgin Mobile USA has finally been hit with class-action lawsuit related to their shady financial fibbing prior to the IPO. Oh wait, it’s not hard at all to see how this could happen. The Pennsylvania-based Law Offices of Howard G. Smith has filed a class-action...
