Cloud Computing and Mobility: Is iPhone the ODPH we're looking for?

Google thinks so. I obviously want more on that device but as you see, Phone is on a good start. Pretty soon we can all say good bye to all the desktop and other devices. ODPH: One Device Per Human . This product, whenever produced in its totality will fulfill the needs while replacing all the devices that today bind (while loosely bound to one another) and prohibit us to work effectively and efficiently. Here's what Google (or some of its staff) thinks about iPhone itself: Google, however, has its upcoming Android mobile platform, which could become a formidable challenger to iPhone. Asked after his presentation whether he would switch to an Android unit, Glotzbach took a wait-and-see approach. "We'll have to see when it comes out. I use the best device that there is for getting what I need done," he said. Glotzbach is not the first Google executive to tip his hat to iPhone recently. Rich Miner, Google group manager for mobile platforms, did so at the eComm conferenc...

WiMAX: Intel going full blast in Brazil!

Here we see a total makeover of developing world in the offing. I did edit my WiMAXed blog as well. Intel, with its World ahead Program, is truly making some waves and penetrating in places where no geek has gone before! And in a couple of years we will have geeks who would be sitting in the remotest of places that would be remote no more. Intel's World Ahead Program, which promotes the use of computers in public areas in developing countries, bankrolled the installation of a WiMAX tower and five spots in the city of Parintins where students, teachers and doctors will now have fast Internet connections for the first time. Imagine, isn't it cool! "I think we're trying to show if you can do it in a remote city like Parintins then you can do it just about anywhere," Ditto!

WiMAX: The IT future is stolen by Africa and India!

Time for the underdog. The disadvantage is becoming the advantage. I read news and stories about how WiMAX is going to change the world. There are more WiMAX towers in Uganda (where we will be doing a 4 year project, I don't know if I'll be staying that long with my current employer) than in the Netherlands. Maybe I'll just go to India where Intel is soon going to be starting the WiMAX trials. Read the PDF from intel . Ok I know there will be issues but hey who said that the issues won't be here if we ever plan to phase out all the cables and other stuff here. Is that the problem? No sir! The problem is the attitude and habits! Europeans and Americans may enjoy the fast internet and great working environment but this advantage is soon going to be putting their very own jobs and comfort zones in jeopardy. Does anyone know that the whole offshoring capital is estimated to reach 1 trillion dollars by 2020! ONE TRILLION DOLLARS . Yes you read it correctly! India is targe...
