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... ...
