DEVICES THAT BEST THE IPHONE, PART 2
From the Test Center: In the second installment of his review series, Tom
Yager examines seven serious phones for real mobile professionals. "The
iPhone is wonderful for well-heeled consumers and status-conscious
gadget freaks, but business users need more ... much more," Yager kicks
off Supersmart phones for extreme mobility. So what makes a great
enterprise handset? For starters, "it must be highly configurable to
match infrastructure and potentially to adapt to changes in geography or
work assignment." And that's just the beginning. Gripe Line: The Web is
increasingly becoming, and not for the better, a one-way information
highway. Consider those... ...

HOW THE IDEAL ULTRAPORTABLE MIGHT LOOK
Hardware: What with Palm's eleventh hour dismissal of the Foleo, Zack
Urlocker wonders just what features, size and shape would constitute the
perfect lightweight PC. Palm did some things right with Foleo, such as
choosing Linux as the OS. But others, namely positioning it as a
so-called smartphone companion, were off-the-mark. "I think they should
have aimed for a form factor much closer to the old Psion 5," Urlocker
explains. Columnist's corner: Even though the wireless market is luring
in impulse buyers and, once hooked, keeping them in large and long
contracts, businesses need not take the bait. "I'm astonished... ...

THE COST OF A GOOD RESUME
Careers: Cover letters and resumes don't get you a job, it's true, but
you still need a strong one to get in the door. Even still, paying
someone $300, or in at least one case $900, to write one for you does
not guarantee it will attract interviews. "Tear your resume in half,"
Nick Corcodilos writes in this Ask the headhunter post. Then start over.
"The only person who can write the best resume for you is you." From the
Test Center: "You wouldn't know it from the Apple fanboy hallelujahs and
breathy press coverage, but the iPhone isn't the... ...

========================================================================
NEW APPLE IPODS COMING TOMORROW?
Notes from the field: Cringely reports that another Apple special event
is coming. "Tomorrow, Apple will unveil ... something. Smart money is on
a new iPod that looks a lot like the iPhone, runs the Mac OS, and
updates via Wi-Fi," he writes. Either that or a "new, less
stratospherically priced iPhone Nano with a smaller form factor but
limited Internet chops." Then again, Jobs might just speak the words
"iTunes," and "Meet the Beatles" in the same sentence. From the feature
well: Leon Urlanger asks are unified communications here at last? "Today
IP telephony and UC are moving toward... ...

7 SECURITY SURPRISES
Security: There's more to the malicious Web than porn. "It's not like you
can just avoid adult sites and be safe," Roger Grimes writes in this
week's installment of Security Adviser. Grimes, in fact, shares seven
surprises uncovered by the New Zealand Honeypot Project. Here's one:
Only 12 percent of malicious URLs appeared on a blacklist. Another is
the finding that fully patched PCs blocked 100 percent of malicious
attempts. Columnist's corner: Storage is taking baby steps toward open
source. Or maybe it's that open source is creeping into storage. No
matter, Mario Apicella wishes the Aperi project a Happy... ...
