The prospect of a wide-scale shutdown of the BlackBerry mobile e-mail service is closer to becoming reality, as the US Supreme Court on Monday turned down a request to review a major patent infringement ruling against BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion.
Remember NTP? They're back -- with a slew of lawsuits against some big name mobile operators.
Apple's iPhone could quickly find its way into businesses, with staff pushing employers to adopt the device but security is a key issue, according to analyst house Butler Group.

If you're a globe-trotter, you'll need a world phone to keep in touch from almost anywhere.
Nokia's E51 combines business functionality with a well appreciated serving of style, making it a highly desirable phone.
