@mejiac absolutely. I think the stronger focus on cloud in Windows 10 will make a big difference in productivity, with people collaborating all over the world.

@mejiac, I'd be willing to bet both the S4 and S5 were product designed in the US but the S6 was designed in S. Korea. I've got a Note 4. The battery life is amazing compaired to my S3 so I think...

@DDURBIN1, Thank you for your comment, and I agreed, the removal of the main features that they used to market as part of there appeal versus other phones is definitly not a good welcome. In my mind, they're basically...

@DDURBIN1, It maybe that the development cycle for Windows 10 phone is behind of what was the Lumia delivery. It was perhaps one of those cases where either they delayed the launch of the Lumia, or move forward with it...

@Kelly22, Agreed... I'm also very excited about a flagship windows phone running Windows 10. Based on the Microsoft event held this january, Microsoft is definitly on the right trac, since even though both Google and Apple...
In reply to: Re: More Promises from Microsoft
@DDURBIN1 I'd have to agree with you. Really looking forward to seeing the Windows 10 flagship phone, but no doubt the OS isn't ready yet. This could be an effort by Microsoft to put Windows Phones in the hands of more people...

I love this tablet but I'm betting it will be over priced. The Z2 tablet came onto the market at $500 to $600 with specs comparable to tablet's costing half as much. I expect the same mistake from Sony with the...

Lumia 640 XL, yawn. Another non-competeting product. Now if Microsoft had shown a Window 10 phone that would have been earth shaking but this Lumia is just another borig product in a line of other boring products...

No doubt the S6 has some better technology but its all transparent to the common buyer. What's not transparent is the lack of a removeble battery and the lack of an SD card. Both of which will hamper sales to...

This is interesting to me because I don't really think of IBM as an "app" builder but more of a system builder. I'm assuming that this is much more than just an app and that a large part of this is the back end systems...

@Dave: Good points. To be pedantic about the analogy, though, your app/bread is on the shelf...but the aisle is several miles long. ;)

@Andrew. I'll suggest one more IT job in the world of IoT, although I'm not sure anyone really wants it. I'll call it Fix-It person. With IoT we're talking about plenty of new types of devices that often haven't been networked...

My favourite is smart watch from Huawei. Knowing that Chinese brands have started launches in this space is a bit comforting as the prices will come down faster which is necessary for the mass market adoption.

While the new net neutrality rules will stop the fast lanes, at least until the appeals process runs its course, I suspect that the trade-off will be a significant slow-down in the expansion and improvement of broadband...

@batye- I think the upgrade addiction will slow after a little while. Remember when you used to have to buy a new PC ever year or two to stay current? And that slowed down. Mobile hardware will slowdown, too. And for apps,...

Two futures are curious to me - maintenance and consumer options. Maintenance - I remember Bruce Schneier commenting on the nature of IoT in terms of security updates. How possible will it be? Will there be something like...

Wouldn't that be someone who came with someone because that person like having the person's company? If you already have a preconceived notion about someone or some-thing, then there's probably not a whole lot that...

My impression is that all these people got together and said "Hey, what do YOU want from 5G?" and they made this crazy, bulletpoint list from a bunch of people who can imagine this great "Back to the Future" world where...

It will be very interesting to see what kind of inroads Samsung can make with mobile payments with the S6. I am a Samsung user and while this model is tempting, I don't think I will be upgrading anytime soon.

I had a conversation with the Samsung product manager today. He confirmed a few things: 1. Samsung Pay will be launched this summer in the US and South Korea. 2. The system works with cards from finnancial institutions...
