"Amazon.com innovates. This isn't the first from the retailer," said telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan. "The [e-reader] craze was started by Amazon. So can Amazon do this? Yes they can. Can they be profitable is the real question. Can this be successful?" Amazon is certai...

May is National Stroke Awareness month. I like to follow the technology advancements for stroke prevention and treatment -- and the companies making them -- because I have been a stroke survivor for nine years.

With the market becoming more saturated, well-established companies like AT&T must switch focus with their strategy, said Jeff Kagan, tech analyst and consultant.

"We have heard this for a long time," said telecommunications analystJeff Kagan. "Verizon would be interested in acquiring 100 percent ofVerizon Wireless, under the right conditions. There was never anyurgency in the past. The urgency seems to be growing." For the deal to happ...

Thanks to countless conversations with reporters, I have developed a crystal clear idea of why Dish Network and SoftBank want to acquire Sprint Nextel. It has less to do with wireless carrier ambitions, and much more to do with the future -- being leaders in a new space that's still largely under the radar. ...

When the BlackBerry Z10 was first in my hands, I was prepared to write a glowing review of the new device and operating system. I like BlackBerry. I thought I was going to be able to write how it was a real competitor to the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. I was hoping to be able to say BlackBerry was back. Unfortunately, I can't -- not yet.
