Android and Apple: Smartphones Require Smart Strategy

I've been dabbling with the Android OS recently and I have to say it is promising. But GSlusher is right. The biggest hurdle is the fact there is a risk of a splintering effect that development teams will have to manage for Android OS 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, etc. Throw in multiple hardware configurations and the law that bugs happen, and you have a problematic situation. The Android framework is supposed to abstract these differences to make it easier. The jury is still out. The two companies that should be worried are Microsoft and Research in Motion.

Apple has it's own mojo going and will be leaders for quite some time.

Apple: Next Leg Up Will Be From Enterprise Accounts

It'll be interesting to keep an eye out of which companies will get investments from the 100mm iFund, and what products come out of those efforts.

Making inroads into the corporate environment will ride a lot on the products/services coming from 3rd parties who will be developing for the iPhone platform.

RIMM enjoys the corporate adoption success they have today because of their pioneering efforts over 10+ years ago. It takes time.

Micro-Hoo!™: Desktop vs. Internet

Everything taken with a grain of salt... Barry's take on people using their hotmail account for garbage, rings true for me. I thought that was funny.
