As mentioned previously, smartphones are becoming more and more mainstream. It what seems like a move to make that even more the case, AT&T has announced lower prices for monthly data plans for the devices. Instead of a $30 unlimited data plan, they will now be offering 200MB for $15/mo and 2GB for $25/mo. Above [...]
We are seeing more and more smartphones each day of our lives. Even though I am not a big Apple fan, I certainly cannot argue that the iPhone has brought the smartphone to the masses. Between it and Blackberry, many people now have one. Add to the mix the huge momentum between Google’s Android phones [...]
I have been at SANS all week in Orlando increasing my wireless knowledge. Rather than simply learning about the protocol and a high-level view of some of the threats, we have dived in deep about the threats. And it helps that my instructor, Joshua Wright, has exposed several of those threats. I have learned a [...]

Also, there have been a lot of new e-readers released at this year’s CES, so there will be more to choose from. Book Selection. Even the best reader [...]
PC World has a good article about the need for a standard in the e-book world. This is starting to come to a head as Sony has released two new e-book readers, and Barnes and Noble has announced a deal with Plastic Logic to use their new e-reader when it is released later this year/early [...]
