Amid an environment where the telecom and networking domains are aggressively shifting from hardware- to software-based solutions, even the smart public safety domain is calling for more software solutions in order to increase the networks’ efficiency. Motorola Solutions , the dominant player in the market, has made a couple of moves in the recent past in a bid to strengthen its software portfolio. The company launched its Wave 7000 solution last quarter to improve its “push-to-talk” feature and last month acquired Spillman, a company that develops software for law enforcement and public-safety departments. Motorola’s hardware products are strong and the company seems to be backing them well with pertinent software. This should ultimately help Motorola kill competition from smaller players, which may have a pricing advantage, with its technological superiority.

Though I write about gadgets on here and I take great joy in it, the truth is tech is not my first love, not by a long shot. I’m a diehard, near-obsessive NBA fan at heart, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have had a paid gig writing about that too. Funny thing is, there is one aspect of covering/discussing smartphones that is very similar to the NBA experience: fanboy-ism. I’m not talking about casual fans, like the person who watches the odd NBA game or two a month or someone who switches phones every two years. No, I’m talking about what the NBA circles refer to as “homers” or “stans.” These are people who will blindly defend their basketball player/smartphone brand of choice, to the point of being completely irrational. Kobe Bryant’s fans, for example, are notorious for this. Go on any NBA forum and within 20 minutes of browsing you’ll see one.
