Palm losing out as iPhone gains corporate fans
Posted by Tom Krazit
The Palm Treo 750, Palm's flagship product the last time it was a
major player in corporate smartphones almost two years ago.
Perhaps no one has benefited as much from the downfall of the Treo
than Apple.
On Thursday, ChangeWave released the results of an otherwise dismal
survey predicting a tough time ahead for anyone who relies on
corporate IT spending for their livelihood. But the news was good for
those in the smartphone business not named Palm; smartphone shipments
to U.S. corporations are expected to grow even as overall IT spending
falls.
And Apple's iPhone is seeing the bulk of the growth, according to
ChangeWave. Companies still love Research in Motion's BlackBerry, but
the iPhone is picking up ground.

Based on the error messages on my wife's iPhone, the app size limit seems to
be 10MB before the device demands a Wifi connection.
Oddly, that seems to be hardcoded in the firmware, rather than a
network-generated error. My wife's phone is unlocked and on T-Mobile, so it
should be immune to any AT&T network-generated restrictions. In contrast,
back when I used the $6/month "T-Mobile Web" data plan (which like the AT&T
iPhone plan is "unlimited") it was the T-Mo network itself that blocked
access- (attempting to download files over 950k, regardless of what phone
was used, resulted in a "network error." The sole exception was e-mail
attachments which could be larger.) |

All landline phone records for every call you make from your home phone are
stored by a company run by the Mossad in Isreal. Noone seems to find that
interesting except me, it seems.....
I'm crazy. I don't think ANY records of what Americans do should be
allowed to cross our borders. |

Larry I already knew your post was accurate. I think it was quite a
scandal buried by the religious fanatics in government.

In addition to adding features like Street View on Google Maps and

also plugs holes that could expose data on locked phones.
The update plugs a hole that lets someone with physical access to a

I'm old enough for this to sound just like the Watergate Breakin,
where they were lookin for info on the Democrats. This time someone
likely had the ideas they'd find all of Obama's phone calls to William
Ayers. They didnt find any so the story didnt come out till now.
Bet they'll find some Verizon employee works for the White House
Plumbers. |

I worked for that firm and it was Jewish from the get go. The name was
cleverly selected to mislead the public. A typical tactic in certain
circles. |

Nonsense, the usual elitist cults like CFR, Trilateral Commission,
Bilderbergers, Illuminati, have been grooming Obama just like they groomed
Clinton to be president since he was in college. More evidence came out to
support this theory today.
Hillary is about as qualified as Joe the Plumber to be Sec of State
The Federal Reserve Private Bank Corporation elite have installed one of
their own employees to make sure the Treasury Department is fully
infiltrated, just like always.
Nothing has changed. The bankers are still in control of the gummit, same
as always.
I did find it amusing how the real wall street "experts" were just bubbling
on business TV talking about how the NY Fed President was a government
leader to the masses on American TV, which none of them can possibly be
that stupid and still hold a major sheepskin from an elite university....
The same old debt slavery scheme the gummit has run on with PLANNED
recessions and DEPRESSIONS to reset the system for more inflation to keep
the debt machine well oiled since 1913 is running as it always has....
.....history repeating itself....boom, bust, recession, depression, more
wars, boom, bust, recession, depression, more wars... |
