It may be too soon to call time on the dominance of the personal computer, but anecdotal evidence suggests that people with money to spend on technology prefer to spend their money tablets to buying yet another PC.

While RIM promises that BlackBerry administrators will soon be able to separately manage personal and corporate data on BlackBerry smartphones through BlackBerry Bridge, I suspect a lack of supported devices will greatly hamper the ability to roll out the feature once it launches later this year.

Rumor has it that Apple is testing new iPads and iPhones that lack a clickable "Home" button and rely instead on multitouch; this horrible idea shows that Apple has learned little from the debacle of the buttonless iPod Shuffle.

The Verizon iPhone might be something to cheer if you're tired of AT&T, but the inherent inability to run a voice and a data signal over CDMA means that the Personal Hotspot feature is only useful if you don't want to use your mobile phone as a phone.

Apple releases Mac OS X 10.6.5, but strangely, the update doesn't include the promised support for printer sharing with the AirPrint feature of iOS 4.2, which is expected to become available any day now.

Apple's announcements that it would no longer ship Flash as part of the core Mac OS X install and that Java for Mac OS X was "deprecated" may have caught some observers by surprise, but these are smart choices for the company. It may have been necessary to nurture these technologies when Mac OS X was struggling, but it's time for the owners of these technologies to step up to their responsibilities.

Apple’s troubled white model of the iPhone 4 is available in very limited quantities, but only if you have a friend inside Apple. Is the iPhone 4 cursed?
