"If there aren't compelling games the hardware won't matter because no one will buy them," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out. "Nintendo's pulling from titles that worked in the past, to try and revive the Wii, but, given that the Wii largely sold on the strength of the hardware and its sports games, I don't think there's a good match here."

"This comes on top of an aging game platform, but there isn't much major stuff going on in this segment at the moment, and there are a lot of Xboxes installed and in use," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "While the Kinect may not expand ...

"Given that the entertainment and devices division was just blown up, one wonders how well Microsoft will deliver Natal," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld The iGames Cometh...

I played with a number of titles, including "How Google Is the New Standard Oil," "Google the new Slave Master," and "Should Google be Nationalized or Regulated?" I chose this one because it would both get your attention and address the fact that Google is taking advantage of all of us, no matter how powerful, except those who live in Turkey and China. ...

"If folks get a strong positive experience on Google search compared to Bing and Yahoo, Google could get back some of the people it has lost to those search engines," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "As the dominant vendor, Google just has to create the impression of adequate progress to hold on to users, and Caffeine does that at the very least," he added...

"This will add fuel to the Apple fire," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "Apple has for a long time complained that one of the primary problems with Flash is that it's insecure and unreliable, and this will add to that argument." Jobs ma...

Watching BP try to plug the biggest oil spill in history while staging photo ops for the media feels like watching a new definition of evil unfold -- until the realization sets in that we're likely watching the death of a company. ...

If the Financial Times report is accurate, it's possible that Google's blaming Microsoft as a cover story for its plans to move its in-house computers over to its Chrome operating system, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld Why Microsoft's D...

Rob Enderle, founder and principal analyst at Enderle Group, puts the shoe on the other foot for the search company and its own negative publicity issues. "This would be like Microsoft blocking Google search internally because of privacy concerns," Enderle said "It was one thi...

Last week, Apple passed Microsoft in market capitalization for a number of reasons. I agree with Gary Marshall, who argues in "Apple beats Microsoft? Not so fast, Fanboys" that the two companies aren't even in the same race. I'd even add that the only reason Apple moved ahead in valuation is because we don't count stock owned by employees, and Bill alone has around US$40 billion of that. ...

"OLPC made an impressive number of mistakes, from oversetting expectations to not understanding that kids in developing countries couldn't service their own hardware, to what appeared to be a complete lack of understanding of business fundamentals," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

Not all observers, though, believe the benefits of the pact were so evenly apportioned. "Yahoo is trying to appear relevant again," said Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group "By connecting to [Zynga], it can appear to be relevant again by doing som...

The shakeup could well lead to positive changes that could eventually have an impact on the larger market, Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. The entertainment and devices division was the source of many of the problems that existed between Microsoft...

No matter what its motivation is, Facebook does appear to be getting serious about privacy, Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. However, that doesn't mean that it won't screw up its handling of privacy again. The problem, in Enderle's view, is tha...

I've been using Office 2010 for several weeks now, and I actually have gotten to the point where I'm finding it harder and harder to use Office 2007. However, I'm reminded of the problems -- both with this product and, to a lesser extent, Windows -- that are unique to Microsoft and have proven to be a bi..., er, very difficult, to correct. ...

It shouldn't be difficult to apply the same methods of destroying computer data to the data on digital copiers' hard drives, Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld, but this is not something people have thought about. "A lot of these things c...

"This is a very important upgrade because spam is something that drives everyone nuts," said Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. "Users need more capabilities in terms of adjusting for what is coming in and out." Smartphone Integration...

I'm clearly on some kind of twisted Wizard of Oz/magic jag at the moment but, as I said last week, I'm just not convinced people fully get why Apple is successful. However, this week there are some other things brewing. Apple seems to have suddenly become the "Litigation 'R' Us" company and every time I've seen this happen, it has ended badly. ...

"Hulu is staying with something that works," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "Their goal is to provide a service, and not to push a particular technology. They can always switch when the standard is ready, and that may not be for years," he said...

"What makes the iPad different is Apple's ability to present its products as magical," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Few companies can do that well." However, Android devices may pose a challenge to the iPad, if the success of Verizon's Droid smart...
