Podcast
The Sky-High Expectations Surrounding Mobile Networks (23:34 minutes)
Users today want to be able to access more services using more devices.
They want coordination across all the platforms they use, they want
security and privacy, and they want the full support of their IT
departments. It's all a very tall order, and networks will need to
adjust rapidly or the latency and hassle of access and performance
issues will get in the way of users, their new expectations, and their
behaviors.

Today's Story Highlights

Google May Want an Android Tablet of Its Own
Google may be planning to enter the tablet market in the medium term --
and not just as a partner in an OEM relationship. Eric Schmidt, Google's
executive chairman, told an Italian newspaper that "in the next six
months we plan to market a tablet of the highest quality." However, the
remark suggests that it will be Google's own tablet that the company
will be marketing.

HTC: If Thine Feature Offends Thee, Pluck It Out
The United States International Trade Commission has ruled that
Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC violated an Apple patent under Section
337 of the U.S. Tariff Act of 1930. It has issued a limited exclusion
order that will take effect in April prohibiting the importation "of
infringing personal data and mobile communication devices and related
software."

Security Legislation: A Rat's Nest of Agendas
The United States government launched initiatives this past week to
enhance cybersecurity, but these efforts may add to the confusion around
the issue in federal government circles. One development involves the
unveiling of the Promoting and Enhancing Cybersecurity and Information
Sharing Effectiveness Act by the U.S. House of Representatives' Homeland
Security Committee.

Can Amazon Save Android From Malware Hell?
As Android continues its breathtaking rate of growth, malware directed
at the platform is keeping pace. Studies from McAfee and other antivirus
software providers warn that Android is a breeding ground for malicious
software. Google has come under fire as a result.

DSLR How-To App Is Kind to Newbies
Every year around this time, droves of pocket-cam photogs are turned
into newly minted DSLR users. If someone in your life is generous
enough to give you one of these relatively large, complex cameras during
the holidays, and if you've never had a chance to use one very
extensively before, then the dozens of new features and controls at your
fingertips might be a little confusing.
