Nokia has slowly been stopping its free-fall.  At one point, Nokia absolutely dominated the mobile phone market and the success of the company actually boosted the national economy of Finland significantly.  In recent years, though, Nokia had not adequately predicted the meteoric rise of the smartphone and the need to diversify their product line.  Under Stephen Elop, Nokia is diversifying and making other strategic decisions designed to keep Nokia alive in the very competitive mobile computing marketplace.  But all of Elop’s efforts would be for naught if it were not for the skills and abilities of Jerri DeVard.

There are few sectors of business where the glass ceiling is more evident than the technology sector.  For whatever reason, women in executive level and high management positions are almost completely absent from the ranks of the tech sector.  Even as some companies in the tech sector work to change the disappointing way women are excluded from top positions, the companies that lead the charge of businesses that have women on their executive management team are always looking to put the best person in the available position.  For Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile U.S.A., that meant hiring Claudia Nemat.

Anyone who has ever started working out after months or years of inactivity knows how difficult it can be to maintain the energy and determination needed to make that workout a habit. Once it becomes habit though, working out is far easier to continue.

 Most phones have a plastic or aluminum casing. The purpose of the casing is to protect the sensitive inner components by creating a barrier that absorbs any damage. It is also an opportunity for users to personalize their phone by purchasing a special color or by adding a patterned case from another company.

No matter how convenient mobile computers and streaming technology are, there is nothing that enhances a movie viewing experience like seeing it on a big screen. In fact, watching pretty much anything is improved by seeing it on a color-rich, high definition, high-resolution, giant screen. Directors and producers produce their works to make them look good when they are big, so why do so many people obsess on crowding around tiny mobile devices to watch things? With the Amzer Micro HDMI To HDMI Cable, you no longer have to!

The Amzer Micro HDMI To HDMI Cable is a beautiful and durable basic connector. What can make a connector beautiful? For true high-definition transfers, your connectors need to be gold and the Amzer Micro HDMI To HDMI Cable has stylish and functional gold plating for the connectors and the leads. The gold offsets the standard black cable very nicely, so the word “beautiful” certainly applies to this cable.

In the quest to make digital music a viable business endeavor instead of just a cool idea, there have been many businesses and websites that have already come and gone.  While digital music pirating has been a huge issue for most of the services that have failed, rapidly changing hardware has been a serious issue as well.  One quarter, the dominant digital music device is an MP3 player, the next it is a smartphone!  Failure to adapt the digital music service to the new technologies has sunk some of the digital music services distributing digital music files over the Internet.  Spotify is deeply invested in making sure that does not happen.  For that, they have Oskar Stal!

Oskar Stal is the Chief Technology Officer of digital music distributor Spotify.  As Spotify developed as a website, but prepared to take its service international, the company sought a CTO who had extensive experience with mobile operating systems.  Without a CTO who knew the ins and outs of various mobile platforms, Spotify could not take their business to the next level.  Having been employed at mBlox, a company deeply invested in mobile transactions and the technical interactions between mobile platforms, Oskar Stal rose to the top of Spotify’s list of desirable candidates for the position.

Oskar Stal’s resume is more extensive than simply working for mBlox, though spending eight years as the Director of Development in the technical department at that company was the weightiest factor in Spotify hiring him.  Fortunately for Spotify, Stal was exceptionally interested in the position; he was already impressed by how much Spotify had accomplished without someone as experienced at the top of their development branch!

It is rare, in these days when so many companies are cash-strapped, for a technology company to have such an ambitious product line that it becomes a detraction against the company.  In fact, with so many companies downsizing and scaling back their product lines, the tech sector is actually plagued with products that make it very hard to feel like an individual.  With so many products that look, feel and perform the same, it is tough to use technology as a means of self-expression, at least regarding the hardware.  HTC, however, had so many products come out for their mobile computing/smartphone line in 2011, that their product offerings quickly overwhelmed consumers.  For 2012, HTC has pledged to scale back their catalog and their first significant product of 2012 also has the potential to be one of the year’s best smartphones.  HTC’s One X smartphone is that product!

The HTC One X is an attempt by HTC to refocus and provide solid smartphone hardware that appeals to a broad range of people, as opposed to trying to meet every niche consumer.  The HTC One X manages to do that with some of the most impressive hardware on a smartphone yet.  First, the HTC One X has an incredible processor.  Processing with a Quad-core 1.5 GHz Tegra 3 processor, the HTC One X is at the cutting edge of smartphone and mobile computing brainpower.  With this Tegra 3 processor, applications run ridiculously fast and because this is cutting edge computing technology, the HTC One X will remain relevant in the marketplace for quite some time.

In addition to having a processor that is powerful enough for virtually any computing, streaming or gaming need, the HTC One X smartphone features a 720 pixel 4.7” Super LCD2 screen.  The color contrast for this screen is rich and captures layers of dark colors exceptionally well, making it ideal for streaming many of the current dark, moody feature films.  The screen’s finish allows for ideal viewing even in bright light.

Audiophiles are destined to fall in love with the HTC One X as well.  Just as the HTC One X delivers superior video quality, the sound quality for the HTC One X exceeds all expectations for sound on a smartphone.  Digital music plays with exceptional depth due to the addition of Beats by Dre audio.  Integrated at all levels for superior sound quality, music, videos and phone audio are the richest, most intense that a smartphone can deliver!

The HTC One X also comes with a standard 8 Mp digital camera.  That allows users to take and process photographs and share them fast through the smartphone’s wireless Internet connection.  With such versatility, the HTC One X offers HTC a real chance to reboot its presence in the market!

Sometimes, the only thing more confusing than figuring out what all of the charges on your various utility and media bills are for, is figuring out who is still providing the services you want to engage.  It seems like almost every day there is a new energy provider or a local telephone company finally sells to a massive international conglomerate.  The telephone, mobile phone and smartphone market has been an especially volatile one, made more so with the rise of cell phones and smart phones.  One of the companies that remains in the industry longer than many analysts anticipated is Cricket.  One of the reasons for the company’s continued survival is Annette M. Jacobs.

Annette M. Jacobs is the West Area President for Leap Wireless International, the parent company of cell phone service provider Cricket.  Jacobs went to work for Leap Wireless International in 2010 and at the time, many suspected that Cricket – which was closing many of its retail locations with their iconic green couches – was in the process of a collapse.  But through the hard work of people like Annette M. Jacobs, Cricket has had a positive turnaround and the West Coast operation of Leap Wireless International is running smoother than ever!
