04/12/2005 First Cell Phone Was a True Brick

The brick weighed 2 pounds, offered just a half-hour of talk time for every recharging and sold for $3,995. Clunky and overpriced?

Krolopp, now 74 and retired, still gets a "warm fuzzy feeling" thinking about the DynaTAC and knowing that "a handful of us did something that was really significant."


This brick took over a decade to get to market.

04/05/2005 RIM: The Next WordPerfect?

Will Research In Motion be the next Netscape, Novell and WordPerfect? Microsoft is reportedly reworking its Windows Mobile platform to be a BlackBerry killer and it would be naive to think it will fail.

It let its competitors do the dirty work of developing the market and creating demand before bringing its muscle to bear.
