Apple says it still can't deliver any white iPhone 4s because they "continue
to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a
result they will not be available until later this year." A week ago Steve
Jobs said they would be out at the end of the month. Apparently they've
picked up a yellow tinge.
Anyway, as of June 30, the iPhone 4 will be shipping in another 17 countries:
Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Holland, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and
Switzerland. It started in the U.S., UK, France, Germany and Japan.
Apple's also started delivering the free cases that are supposed to
ameliorate the 4's antenna-created reception problems.

Recently I had the opportunity to address two groups of Corporate Developers
that are targeting iPhone and iPad as a deployment platform for their
Enterprise. During the seminars both myself and a few other Sybase colleagues
covered such subjects as Management and Security of iOS devices through our
integration with Apple's new MDM (Mobile Device Management) protocol along
with unwiring enterprise data from heterogeneous back ends to primarily iOS
devices, though others are also possible. This last point is achievable
through the use of a Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (M... (more)
I had the opportunity recently to video record an interview with Ed Krufka,
EVP at Smartsoft Mobile about their company and strategies. Click here to
watch the video interview on the YouTube SAP Mentor channel.
I think it is always interesting and useful to hear from someone that has
400,000 mobile users, and over 700 ERP/mobility consultants with over 5,000
man-years of experience on staff.
To watch other video interviews with mobility experts check out the complete
list here.

Since the iPad's release this year, questions have emerged as to whether
tablet PCs will become a mainstream business tool. More specifically, does
the tablet form factor address business needs better than other options that
currently exist? If an organization has a significant number of field-based
employees where mobility is an issue, the answer may be no. Tablet PCs can
often be too expensive, too fragile, and too training-intensive to be
effective. There is a clear need for a solution in the market to fill the
"white space" that currently exists to capture and transmit inform... (more)

Reads: 5,212  By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in. Reads: 3,225  Further cementing its position as The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World, the organizers of the 7th Cloud Expo, being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, announced today that the event will also feature – on November 2nd, 2010 – a CloudCamp unconference.
CloudCamp @ Cloud Expo is aimed at anyone working with, or interested in working with, cloud technologies.
"With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions," said CloudCamp co-founder Dave Nielsen, who will personally be facilitating the process on site at the Jacob Javits. "At CloudCamp," Nielsen continued, "participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing."  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon. Reads: 74,972 |
