Blackberry CEO Thorsten Heins has recently called out Android platforms and the Windows phone as not being "mobile computing devices." Is he trying to promote his own product, or do you think he is right in putting shame on the Windows and Android devices? He even thinks the Apple iPhone is outdated compared to the Blackberry. Would any of you consider going back to the BBM age and the Blackberry? I think it might be worth considering.
Is the iPad a good computing device?

Alan Kay, who some people call the "Godfather of Mobile Computing," is not a big fan of the iPad that many students are using everyday. He thinks the iPad dumbs down an actual computer so bad. He thinks iPads are not as nearly as functional as they should be.
I always thought iPads were great because of their mobility, but I guess Kay has some good points as well.
American Airlines is now replacing paper manuals and books (which can weigh up to 30 pounds) with an iPod mounted in the cockpit. In this video, a pilot explains the benefits and improvements this new system provides. This is another example of mobile computing and is interesting because it shows how the same product can be used for recreational as well as professional purposes.

Some statistics and facts regarding the difference in numbers of people with mobile phones and with access to toilets. The huge number of mobile phone users demonstrates the power and prevalence of mobile computing around the world.

Quite frankly I think that a watch is an absolutely terrible form factor for a "smart" device (heck, I don't even understand the big fuss made about the Pebble), even if they implement some kind of bendable display. However Google, Samsung, and Apple are all still "confirmed" (to various degrees) to be working on a smart watch device. This is a step in some direction or another for wearable mobile computing.
Mozilla, the organization responsible for Firefox as well as other popular web technology, is releasing their own mobile operating system. While it is targeted to fill a very important niche (the operating system is extremely lightweight and could run on most low-end phones, e.g. ones that rely on Opera Mobile as a web browser) engadget raises some valid concerns about it in this article.

The developers behind the Ubuntu linux distribution have released a version of Ubuntu specially designed for mobile devices called Ubuntu Touch, and have announced partnerships with mobile device manufacturers. This article is a review of a device running Ubuntu Touch.

Researchers from Belgium have developed a contact lens with a curved LCD screen in it. While currently all they can do is flash a predetermined picture onto the lens, in the future they hope that it can work as a HUD (Heads Up Display), similar to what Google is doing with Google Glass.

Concentrating on screens for an extended period of time can cause eye strain which can lead to other, more significant problems. Find out how to mitigate these problems with a few simple steps. - Philip Klein-Rodick (pkleinr)
Media coverage of the mobile market has not been without fault. Even tech media has been guilty of biased coverage of the seemingly "shiny" and "new" moneymaker that is the mobile industry. Many articles covering mobile startups portray the industry in a positive light where one can simply create or join a startup and become the next Mark Zuckerberg or develop the next Angry Birds app. However, one should be wary at this point in the game.

Most hear of nVIDIA and think of powerful graphics cards designed for high-end gaming platforms. However, nVIDIA has been developing the Tegra chip for mobile devices for some time. Smartphones and tablets will never replace gaming PCs, but they are a critical threat to devices such as the Nintendo Gameboy, if anyone even remembers what that is.

BlackBerry (RIM) once dominated the handheld market, but their failure to develop smartphones amid growing competition demonstrated their complacency and lack of innovation. As a result, RIM lost their significant hold on the smartphone market to the likes of Android and iOS. The Pentagon is now following the trend too: dump BlackBerry; get an iPhone.

According to this article, Intel needs to focus more on the mobile aspect of computers and technology to stay in business. This shows that there is a shift gravitating towards the mobile side of computing and how this affects businesses, not just the people who use the devices.

This article talks about the 'constant cycle' of new and changing threats to children due to ever-advancing technology. It also tells about the dangers of mobile devices and the need to educate children of the risks of being online. With the mobile computing market in a boom and more widespread connectivity, people need to be aware of the risks of being online.

The technology for the next generation Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11ac, has already been developed, and the mobile computing industry is slowly getting ready to transition to 5G wireless internet. Theoretically, the new Wi-Fi boasts throughput and data transfer speeds up to three times faster than the current network. It also has a broader coverage area. This new wireless network system will allow users to stream HD videos and use cloud data storage much more efficiently. Unfortunately, the technology is still in its early stage and is financially inefficient for the general purpose uses.

Food companies have devised ways to get kids interested in their products using the mobile video games as a medium. They have developed apps that are designed to make children want these products by making food fun, which in turn makes them ask their parents for it. It seems that with the advent of mobile computing comes a new facet of the market full of implications for users of all ages.
