Last week was another interesting week. So far, this month the biggest announcements have largely been about Apple. As expected, Apple refreshed some of its product offerings. This should be the last significant release of many of these products before the Intel-based replacements start to arrive in about six to nine months ...
Industry support aside, Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst for the Enderle Group in San Jose, Calif. pointed out that initial sale volumes of Blu-ray devices, which will include a new version of Sony's popular PlayStation video game player, will swamp HD-DVD "What al...
The video solution on the new iPod sucks and, strangely enough, this showcases how much better Apple understands the current market and why others are either failing in it or have had to exit, like, respectively, Creative Labs and D&M Holdings (RIO) ...
Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle said the new innovations relating to publishing that Microsoft plans for Vista may have been one motivation for the Macromedia purchase by Adobe Vista's array of visual tools, which go by names such as Acrylic, Sparkle, and Quartz "d...
Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld that the PalmTX is the current rendition of the original Palm: it's small and it's lightweight. The only question is, do consumers want a multimedia Palm with so many other competing devices on the market? "Palm ha...
Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times that the small business customer is important to Microsoft, despite its on-again, off-again targeted efforts over the years Indeed, the small to mid-sized business (SMB) customer is the fastest growing segme...
"They both blinked," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "Real has been struggling and this buys them time. Microsoft wants out from under the EU mess and this should help with that." The deal may help with Microsoft's European Union antitrus...
This week's column is inspired by my experience last week in Miami where I moderated at AMD's Global Vision Conference. A number of distinguished speakers participated and we spoke at length on the digital home ...
"Motorola and Microsoft have been working increasingly together on a series of fronts," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld. "This is just one more step to show and allow Motorola to differentiate in an area that they dominate in the United States, which is communications for police and emergency healthcare."
"What will be different about online TV is the degree of control users have," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld. "Specialized programming, movie previews and news programs will be found by the audiences that want to watch them." Growing Pains...
Two historic events occurred last week that have the potential to change the future of personal computing. The first, and probably the most dramatic, was Palm adopting the Windows Mobile platform for its market-leading Treo communicator. The second, while less dramatic, is nearly as powerful: that was AMD rolling out stable platforms with both Nvidia and ATI...
Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told LinuxInsider that if these $100 laptops were widely adopted, it could collapse prices of computers even further. However, he added, the numbers and the timeline Negroponte cited are both overly aggressive "The production figures...

Last week's column covered much of the breadth of software inside Windows Vista. The piece addressed some of the features that probably were not widely known and covered likely competitive threats to Apple and Linux. To refresh, Apple is going into the Vista launch weaker and much less differentiated than when they fought the losing battle with the Windows 95 system, and Vista remains too different from Linux to offer the same kind of threat there...
Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose contended that iTunes music isn't the best of the online music services, but as part of a digital music package, it's hard to beat "When you combine the iPod and iTunes, there's still not much that...
Others, including Microsoft have found success with rolling up smaller firms that have strong technology. In some cases, those firms have valuable intellectual property (IP) but not the visibility or platform to reach a large audience, said Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle...
Windows Vista is the biggest release for Microsoft since Windows 95. With that release, Apple was tested -- and they failed miserably. I was at Dataquest at the time and not only did I warn Apple to take 95 more seriously, I also accurately forecast the massive decline that would happen to them if they didn't do just that ...
Enderle Group analyst Rob Enderle said it's still too early to tell whether the "death of software" mantra being chanted by Salesforce.com and others will prove correct -- that is whether the Internet will replace packaged software "It's too early to call it," Enderle said. Wh...
"Mergers typically don't go well, and this one has all the earmarks of major problems because of integration and cultural issues," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told CRM Buyer. "PeopleSoft was a customer acquisition ... simple and elegant. This is grafting a third-party product and existing organization and culture into a mature company with two competing lines. These typically do not go well at all."
As we watch the disaster relief effort play out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina we seem to be falling into the same old pattern of focusing on finding the right scapegoat rather than trying to make sure we can deal with similar future problems. Even after 9-11, the tsunami, and a variety of other disasters, we seem no more capable of effectively dealing with the critical aspects of such scenarios than we were a decade ago. In fact, we were probably in better shape to deal with such problems in the 1940s...
