Son of iPhone: the next revolution


Is the son of the iPhone, the next gotta have gadget? I was one of those first folks to get the iPhone and I loved it --still do! It has its limitations, i.e. still no cut and paste, 2.5g EDGE. Some complain about the keyboard, yet I love mine --think it i better than my Blackberry. Furthermore I hate the stylus on the windows mobile phones. So what will this new gotta have gadget....have?

Looks like it will have a 3G data connection --yeah! Rumor has it a video camera and more space --for those videos I presume. Apple is keeping quiet on the expectations of the son of the iPhone. I guess we'll have to see what happens when it goes out for sell June 9th!

Cool

But until they open the device to Version and not just AT&T, I won't buy one.

If they opened it up to a non GSM carrier such as Verizon and Sprint/Nextel, they would have to have two devices 1 CDMA and 1 GSM. I doubt Apple will do this.

CIO's in Odd Places!

-
I was reading this on the CIO Weblog: http://www.cio-weblog.com/50226711/cios_in_odd_places.php "How is this for alignment? Eye care company Bausch & Lomb has named Alan Farnsworth as CIO... and Senior Vice President of Customer Service. I've heard of CFOs doubling as CIOs. A COO doubling up on the role would raise no eyebrows here. But customer service? Mr. Farnsworth, who has been with the company since 1998 and has most recently held the position of president of the company's Europe, Middle East, and Asia division, doesn't appear to have a lick of IT experience in his background. " -- CIO Weblog Well, I.T. involves quite a bit of customer service. Especially in dealing with the support side of the house, this is where a customer service oriented person can fit the bill (just remember IT isn't all about computer technical support). If this guy were technical (in addition to the customer service background), I think it would be a great move. Heck all exec...

iPhone cannabis application is pot-ty

-
Apple just approved an iPhone application which lets users find their nearest CANNABIS dealer has been approved by Apple. Simply named CANNABIS, the $2.99 app lets users search by city for their nearest medical cannabis suppliers, doctors, clinics, lawyers and other relevant organisations. Also while checking for CANNABIS, I came across the CALIFORNIA HERBAL CAREGIVERS (CHC) application. This app goes for $ .99 and boasts it " allows you to obtain your weed in a legal, medical, and convenient fashion". Plug in your zip code and/or search by city and you will be linked up with one of 700 Medical Dispensaries. Wow, I could say something, but I will not! But I will say there are a lot of apps out there --I better get busy on mine. "And that's the way it is" -Walter Cronkite 1916-2009

The Business Value(s) of Social Networking Sites

-
Recently an EMIS team member posed the question of "What is the business value of social networking" (thank you Tom). How does IBM or the Government use a site like LinkedIn ( http://www.linkedin.com/ ) or FaceBook ( http://www.facebook.com/ ) as a business tool? Currently we [the people] gain the value. We do our LinkedIn and FaceBook activities, and maybe click on a partner's link and buy something. These sites are very popular as millions use them. So how can social networking sites (or the idea for an internal social networking site) be beneficial to companies like IBM? I am thinking along the lines of a Knowledge Management (KM) tool. ( hmmmm me thinks me have an idea for my Capstone project) Thoughts?
