Apple's recent iPhone 6s announcement proves the point – Apple had to resort to one-year upgrades and new metallic colors to convince consumers to pay the high price for a new iPhone 6s that is hardly an upgrade from last year's iPhone 6. This is why a lot of consumers should be interested in the new HTC One A9, a high-end phone at an affordable price.   High performance doesn't matter. Beautiful design, pleasing interaction by increasingly more sophisticated users, and making use of the latest and greatest mobile OS – that's what matters. The HTC One product line has set the bar for Apple's design team since the launch of the first HTC One, the M7, in 2013. At $399 for an unlocked, all-metal device, the One A9 extends the iconic HTC One product line. It's a platform to demonstrate the newest features of Android 6.0, such as a fingerprint reader screen unlock, at an affordable price.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   WHITE PAPER: Tangoe The Power of Mobility to Catalyze Business Growth To better understand the issues CFOs are dealing with related to management of mobile technology, infrastructure, and processes, CFO Research and Tangoe conducted a survey of senior finance executives and discovered that CFOs are making difficult choices and tradeoffs related to their firms' mobility strategies. Learn More Apple on the hook for $234 million in patent lawsuit Apple last week found itself on the losing end of what initially appeared to be a nearly $900 million legal judgement, and believe it or not, Samsung played no part in the story.A Wisconsin jury last week ruled that Apple's series of Ax processors infringe upon patents owned by the University of Wisconsin's licensing arm, also known as the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF).The patents in question pertain to power efficiency in mobile processors, and interestingly enough, WARF sued Intel over the same patents not too long ago. In that particular case, though, Intel opted to settle for $110 million before the case went to trial.With respect to Apple, the products affected by WARF's lawsuit include any device housing an A7, A8, A8X, or A9 processor, meaning that the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPad Air models, iPad Mini 2, and the upcoming fourth-gen Apple TV were included in the suit.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   Headphones can be used to hack a smartphone, report says Hackers could use a headphone cable as an antenna to send radio signals that trick smartphones into thinking that commands are being spoken into the device's microphone, say researchers.The voice commands could be interpreted by the phone's voice recognition system such as Siri or Google Now.Electromagnetic attacks Electromagnetic attacks on critical electronic devices aren't new, the authors of the paper say. The study was published in IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Capability.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   When mobile and mainframes mix, the results are spectacular The demands of mobile applications and mainframe capabilities make a powerful but neglected combination.
