Apple iPhone's European entry should be met with success, perhaps somewhat prior to its first price discount, which will likely happen right after the holidays a la AT&T.  However, there will be significant differences between the O2 market entry in the UK and the Deutsche Telekom entry in...

Microsoft, like Google via Doubleclick, is busy "reinventing and rethinking the whole business model of online advertising..." (Steve Ballmer) Yes, MSFT, is chasing GOOG as it races toward opening up new, performance-based media and ad cost models but MSFT too is looking to re-define ad models in a...

All of these "parking" sites use paid search & direct navigation to circumvent low organic search result rankings.  But social media doesn't necessarily hinge on search - it's more about friends & application sharing.

Nokia's Navteq move, though likely overpriced, hints at an important mobile strategy, one that Motorola, Samsung, Sony, AT&T, and T-Mobile have yet to conceive.  By going after the mobile web platform, they are competing with the new big boys of wireless, namely Google and Apple and Internet...
