"Right now, it looks like Linux users don't really like to pay for anything, and there isn't a vendor doing a general consumer package, which is significantly the potential market anyway," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider The big problem ...

"Certainly, there could be some amazing byproducts," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.

Last week's announcement of Google's plans to acquire Motorola -- Googorola -- created a massive change for Android licensees. They are now looking for alternatives, tossing the biggest smartphone platform into flux and increasing the interest in what will happen to RIM -- with specific emphasis on its QNX platform. ...

Over the last 10 years, employee benefits have suffered, whether a company is profitable ornot, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "So Verizon is not alone," he observed. "HP cut employees and almost started a strike. In the past, ...

Google lacks a strong patent defense, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle group, previously told the E-Commerce Times Google did try earlier this year to buy patents from bankrupt Canadian telecommunications company Nortel, but lost out to a consortium that included ...

I've been covering video conferencing (now often called "telepresence") products since the late 80s and saw my first offering in the mid-60s as a child at Disneyland. Over the years, product wave after product wave has come to market with the promise of the next big thing in telecommunications only to fail to meet even reasonable expectations for deployment in a market where users are measured in billions. ...

"Women are the ideal target because they have purses to carry the devices in and are more likely to be hooked on casual games than men are," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld However, the A100s still have a few rough edges, one being a rel...

"This education could help kids make the right choices both to protect themselves and in terms of what they do, so they're less likely to be threatened or be a threat," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "Kids could easily be victims or, be...

Last week was kind of an amazing week. Google's chief counsel earned himself a new title: chief whining officer. He tried to blame Microsoft, Apple and Oracle (missed EMC) as companies that were colluding to force Google to stop stealing other people's stuff. Google's whiny argument made me wonder if anyone over there actually reads what they write. ...

Perhaps the real problem with Android is that Google has few patents of its own for the operating system, according to Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Google lacks a strong patent defense because they don't own much of the intellectual property they sell,...

"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.

"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...

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....
