Mobile Technology
Tomorrow’s announcement at the Yerba Buena Center in downtown San Francisco is easily the most anticipated consumer technology event of the new year. Not many know for sure what will be announced tomorrow but the “iTablet,” Jobs cross between a netbook and an iphone, appears to be the odds on favorite. Speculation is [...]
Last week, I built a case for how the failings of AT&T are leading consumers to consider other “smartphones” instead of the iPhone. As I mentioned:

I have a friend of mine who recently contacted me to help them finish an iPhone application. They hoped to have it available last June along with the launch of their Web site but the iPhone application required more technical expertise than they had in house.
