Is the Stylus Retro?

Is the Stylus Retro?

By Dave Michels on February 7, 2012

Modern Day Enterprise Software: Workday Example

Modern Day Enterprise Software: Workday Example

From my point of view, any modern enterprise software should offer social […]

SaaS Startups Should Check Out CouchDB First

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 26, 2010

Ever since Oracle acquired MySQL, there is a lingering question in the minds of SaaS companies that had relied heavily on MySQL and the analysts who follow the space closely.

iPad And IT Admins: VMware Jumps Into iPad Mania

iPad And IT Admins: VMware Jumps Into iPad Mania

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 14, 2010

This is my third post in the last ten days on the iPad in the enterprise meme and the main reason is that this meme is refusing to die anytime soon. VMware is the culprit this time. At the VMworld Europe conference on Tuesday, VMware CTO, Steve Herrod, announced about VMware’s plan for this device […]

On Windows Phone 7

By Guest Authors on October 7, 2010

Last week at the GigaOm’s Mobilize conference, I got a chance to play with a Windows Phone 7 device briefly. I was looking forward to playing with the device as I was optimistic on Microsoft’s new mobile operating system. After using the device briefly, it didn’t feel right. Microsoft went for the cool factor this […]

Alcatel-Lucent Is Damn Serious About Their Plans To Make Wireless Carriers Relevant

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 2, 2010

Ever since Apple unleashed iPhone and changed the people’s perspective on their mobile phones, wireless providers were grappling with a future where their networks are fast becoming dump pipes. Even though iPhone itself is a walled garden of some kind, it (along with other Android based devices) helped tear down the walls built up by […]

The Mobile Arms Race–Your Superphone is Really Not a Phone

The Mobile Arms Race–Your Superphone is Really Not a Phone

By Zoli Erdos on August 16, 2010

The HTC  Incredible was the best Android superphone – for about a month, until the HTC EVO took over…only to be dethroned by the Motorola Droid X.  But that’s history now, we’re in the middle of the Samsung Galaxy S invasion now: Vibrant, Captivate, Fascinate … just about all major carriers offer their own flavor.  […]

Sprint Wireless Launches HTC EVO Superphone - With Utter Web Failure

Sprint Wireless Launches HTC EVO Superphone – With Utter Web Failure

By Zoli Erdos on June 4, 2010

The HTC EVO Android phone is the ultimate weapon that’ supposed to turn Sprint’s weak business around.  Yes, the phone is really incredible (not Incredible, that’s another model), but that does not change the fact that Spring is welcoming it with utter failure.  Customers attempting to buy it get to stare at this message forever: […]

iPhone? Android? It’s All Irrelevant when you Can’t Get a Signal

iPhone? Android? It’s All Irrelevant when you Can’t Get a Signal

By Zoli Erdos on May 6, 2010

Will iPhone users move to Verizon?  – goes the speculation, based on a study published @ Fortune showing AT&T drop calls 3 times as frequently as Verizon. From my vantage point even dropped calls would be a luxury – meaning you can get a strong enough signal to place calls in the first place.  Apparently […]

I Stole the HTC Incredible for $99. OMG.

By Zoli Erdos on April 30, 2010

Wow, talk about luck, apparently I caught a discount that barely existed for hours.  I’ve long waited for a decent smartphone available @ Verizon, be it the iPhone, Nexus One or whatever else … so raving reviews of the HTC Incredible certainly did not leave me cold. Still somewhat hesitating, I started to look for […]

RIPing The Traditional Web: Not So Fast

RIPing The Traditional Web: Not So Fast

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 30, 2010

Recently, Rob Mills wrote a post on Think Vitamin proclaiming death to traditional web. He was pointing out the widespread use of mobile devices and the next wave of iPad like devices and argued that this will make traditional web secondary to mobile sites and apps. The web is dead. OK, it isn’t but it […]
