By Michael Krigsman on August 4, 2011

Summary: A personal journey deep into the heart of the iPad and Xoom tablets. Which side won? I’ve been an iPad fan since Apple first released the ubiquitous tablets; with instant-on and long battery life, these devices are an ideal traveler’s companion. This post describes iPad love, Android lust, and a reluctant return back to Apple. […]

Any Hardware Company Not Investing Big in Cloud is Nuts

Any Hardware Company Not Investing Big in Cloud is Nuts

By Bob Warfield on April 7, 2011

If the Cloud is here to stay, and the trend to move apps into the Cloud is only going to get stronger, then any hardware or infrastructure company that doesn’t invest big in the Cloud is nuts.

HP’s Pad UI Printer: We Need More Thinking Like This!

HP’s Pad UI Printer: We Need More Thinking Like This!

By Bob Warfield on September 20, 2010

Is Oracle An Apps Company that Sells Hardware, or a Hardware Company that Dabbles in Apps?

Is Oracle An Apps Company that Sells Hardware, or a Hardware Company that Dabbles in Apps?

By Josh Greenbaum on September 7, 2010

It’s open season in the punditocracy on Oracle, as the move to put Mark Hurd in Oracle’s corner and jettison Charles Phillips makes a helluva welcome-back-to-work present for anyone who actually took Labor Day off from their daily labors. What’s obvious from where I sit is that Oracle is now more firmly a hardware company […]

The Kno is Not a Tablet.  It’s a Workout Device

The Kno is Not a Tablet. It’s a Workout Device

By Zoli Erdos on August 12, 2010

Seriously.  At 5 and a half pounds it’s not exactly a lightweight tablet you would want to hold for hours. I have a very simple test for you: if you have an average 14”-15” laptop around, flip it open, hold it vertically, just like this: … and tell me how long you could comfortably hold […]

IBM zEnterprise and The Reintegration of Everything.

IBM zEnterprise and The Reintegration of Everything.

By James Governor on August 6, 2010

IBM’s just launched its new zEnterprise server at a very interesting time for the market. So interesting in fact that’s its very hard indeed to sum up all the swirls and currents currently roiling enterprise IT.

Hardware, software, and system integration vendors must reinvent new models of revenue. The economic recession has forced business model shifts at the major technology companies.
