Hedgehogging: hedge*hog*ging v. Interrupting conversations in an office environment

So let us get this straight. 100,000 developers paid $100 a piece to download Apple’s new SDK for the iPhone. We are no math majors, but doesn’t that translate to like $10 million? Apple is amazing.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is in so much trouble with the House Commerce Committee. While Martin has been reprimanded by the General Accounting Office and a number of members of Congress for his management style at the agency, now he has two weeks to produce a ton of documents to see how he has run the agency since January 2005. Who has that? And even if you had it, who has time to look for it? And even if you found it, who has time to read through all the e-mails, paperwork, and other stuff to make sure that someone else might not interpret it the wrong way, and thus, you would appear in a bad light? (I didn’t mean he’s fat, I meant he’s phat.)

The FCC said it will release the names of the winners of the 700 MHz spectrum auction within 10 days of the end of the auction. 10 days!?!?!!? Are you kidding?!?!?! And here we thought the FCC, along with the rest of the federal government, was an effective and efficient institution.

Sprint Nextel announced it released a software upgrade for its Mogul cellphone users that will allow them to make use of the carrier’s super-fast CDMA2000 EV-DO Revision A network. And the world’s three Mogul owners cheered in response.

What will be the big news from this year’s CTIA Wireless Show? We have no clue (and no huge news under embargo at this time to allow us to sound smarter than we are). But we are predicting a pretty extensive WiMAX push from its proponents in response to all of the LTE cheering that came out of Mobile World Congress. And if we were Sprint Nextel, we’d announce a renewed partnership with Clearwire at the show, since they keep hinting about it anyway.

How come these social networking sites we’ve never heard of keep getting bought for hundreds of millions of dollars? And how can we get in on the action?

Who hates the iPhone worse? We always thought this argument was between Motorola, which is the nation’s No. 1 handset manufacturer, and Nokia, which is the world’s largest handset manufacturer but which has not enjoyed as much U.S. success as it would like. With 100,000 developers downloading Apple’s new software development kit and Apple going squarely after the lucrative enterprise market, Research in Motion probably wants to take a piece of the action too.
