How big (or small) is femto?

by Prakash Sangam
A femto is incredibly… infinitesimally… extraordinarily small! It’s actually one quadrillionth of a unit, which, in other terms, is one part of a number that has 15 zeros! Well, the femto that I am going discuss here is not that femto. The one I’m talking about is femtocell, which has lots of buzz around it these days.

Segmentation Possibilities in the Smartphone Sector

by Pete Lancia
In a previous blog, I claimed that 2009 was the year of the smartphone. Well if that was the case, then 2010 is the breakout year in which we are starting to see the smartphone category itself start to segment. Iconic high-end smartphones such as HTC’s Evo and Incredible and Apple’s iPhone 4 are all selling well.
