Delivering Web content to PCs, tablets and smartphones isn't a write-once, display-anywhere process for high-traffic Web sites. Yankee Group, collaborating with Keynote Systems, finds that while the majority of the top 16 Web sites don't significantly tailor their Web content differently for tablets and smartphones, others have begun customizing the content they send to tablets to create new large-screen mobile experiences.

Picking Thorsten Heins as CEO is a good start on the changes needed at Research In Motion (RIM), and it buys the company time. However, that's just the beginning of the effort to turn RIM around. RIM must also excite its customers by launching BlackBerry 10 products faster and courting developers with contests. Otherwise, its current downward trend will continue.

The 2012 International CES had its fair share of new product rollouts--20,000, in fact. Looking back at the week, we find the devices, apps and technologies that garnered the most interest and enthusiasm were those with connectivity at their core. As connectivity increasingly becomes table stakes, however, all CE players must work to ensure new business models and network technologies are up to the challenge.

Yankee Group expects tablet sales in the U.S. to exceed $5.4 billion in 2012. But tablet manufacturers hoping to cash in on tablet mania must contend with one daunting challenge: Apple continues to dominate both the installed base of tablets and consumer buying intents. Amazon and Samsung are the only companies in position to challenge Apple in the next six months, but there's also opportunity in the large base of consumers who don't yet know which brand of tablet they'll buy.

The collapse of the AT&T/T-Mobile merger has left everyone wondering how these two companies will survive the breakup. The separation agreement between the two companies gives cash and spectrum to T-Mobile while opening the possibilities of a joint operation agreement to AT&T. The result is better services and choice for consumers than the merger would have yielded--but it also means AT&T's challenge as a mobile broadband competitor just got a lot harder.

Acquiring Motorola for $12.5 billion will make Google's Android platform even more successful by giving Google a 17,000-patent war chest for patent battles, a standardized end-to-end mobile experience for Android users and a Google-controlled platform for mobile payments. However, Google's biggest challenge will be managing Android as an open platform while making devices for that platform--a feat no other technology company has previously achieved.
