How Microsoft plans to market against the iPad | ZDNet
Even though Microsoft’s public stance, when asked about the impact of Apple’s slate is “iPad? What iPad?”, the Redmondians are preparing the company’s partners for battle in 2011.
Microsoft is making available to its reseller partners marketing collateral to help them defend against the iPad’s encroachment into the enterprise market. I had a chance to check out a PowerPoint dated December 2010 on “Microsoft Commercial Slate PCs” that the company is offering to its partners to help them explain Microsoft’s slate strategy to business users.

Toshiba Targets Apple With Android Tablet Teaser Site » Android Phones, Android Tablets, News, Tech, Gadgets And More, Thedroidguy
Fresh off one of the most epic fails in Android tablet history, the Toshiba Folio, Tohsiba is coming out guns a blazing with their new 10″ tablet. We saw a production sample of the tablet at CES earlier this month which was running Froyo, although the Toshiba rep insisted it would release with Honeycomb.
It hasn’t even been a year since we sat in a standing room only press conference in Berlin at IFA when Toshiba unveiled their new Folio Tablet. The 10″ bucket of bolts Android device was released and then recalled in the UK before Thanksgiving. In fact while at CES the Toshiba reps were very careful to remind every member of the media that the new Toshiba tablet was not the follow up to the Failio and in fact a whole different machine.

Top 11 Enterprise IT Battles for 2011
IT Management | Feature | Mike Vizard, Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Previous Next
Click through for the top 11 enterprise battles that will be waged in 2011.
While the battles between the major IT vendors have always been intense, the thing that seems to characterize the nature of internecine conflict within the IT industry is that the competition is getting personal.
Whether this is because a downturn in the economy has resulted in a heightened level of sensitivity or that all the long-term industry trends point towards a convergence that will ultimately reduce the number of players, just about every major IT industry CEO has in one form or another publicly taken a cheap shot at the competition.
Of course, some of this behavior may simply be a byproduct of the 24-hour cable and Internet news cycle. But the root cause of much of this emotional intensity seems to stem from the fact that every major IT vendor in one form or another is trying to expand their customer base by expanding their operations into adjacent territory.
In fact, the most aggressive of all the companies in regards to this behavior is Cisco, which is expanding its base into not only the server space dominated by Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Dell, but also collaboration applications and unified communications services that Microsoft sees as a natural extension of productivity applications.
Of course, when it comes to industry slugfests, the most verbose player in the game is Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. But even while Oracle moved to acquire Sun and got involved in public spats with both HP and SAP, its ambitions are still not as grandiose as what Cisco is trying to execute.
Naturally, there are plenty of other feuds going on across the industry that bring with them their own unique levels of intensity, not the least of which is the conflict between Rackspace and Amazon over the future of cloud computing, as well as the ongoing storage trench warfare between EMC and NetApp, the coming virtualization showdown between Microsoft and VMware, and emerging conflicts over mobile and cloud computing involving Google, Apple and Microsoft.
All in all, there are plusses and minuses to this new level of competitive intensity across the IT industry. Clearly, passions are running high, which means a lot more people are paying much closer attention to what is actually happening within the customer base. That should, at least, make vendors both more responsive and useful to the customer. However, too much noise usually winds up being a distraction that can easily take a vendor's eye off the enterprise IT ball.
To what degree vendors are simply taking a page from the Machiavelli playbook in an effort to rally their dispirited troops in the face of an external threat or to maneuver into position for a Battle Royale in 2011 is still anybody’s guess.
But the one thing that every IT executive should be doing is rooting for them all because the level of competition in the IT industry is directly related to the quality of IT services and products that customers ultimately receive.

Why Half of All Social Media Initiatives Fail | ITBusinessEdge.com
According to MARC USA, marketers have done a poor job of making social media work because they have been too busy drinking the social media Kool-Aid. “The hype factory forced them to chase every new, bright, shiny object; from FourSquare to Gowalla, Groupon to Scavngr, Facebook to Genie,” says Adam Kmiec, SVP, Interactive Marketing Innovation, MARC USA.
For every success story there are thousands of failed social initiatives. While there is no way to guarantee a hit, Kmiec says there are ways to assure failure. With that in mind, here are his ten reasons why half of all social media initiatives fail:

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.” ~ George Carlin http://bit.ly/egl0gJ

Six Tips for Deploying iPads in the Enterprise | ITBusinessEdge.com
Click through for six tips on integrating iPad devices in the enterprise from 318, Inc., a technology services company focused on heterogeneous Apple/Microsoft/Linux infrastructures in Fortune 2000 enterprises and SMBs.
Challenged by the deployment of Apple iPads in your enterprise? It's not surprising when Gartner estimates that media tablet sales reached 19.5 million units in 2010, driven by sales of the iPad. Media tablets and the iPad will fuel even faster growth in the category of mobile PCs, already 55 percent of industry shipments in 2009 and forecasted to reach 70 percent by 2012, according to Gartner.
As a result, many Fortune 2000 enterprise CIOs and SMB IT directors are caught reacting to the immediate need to integrate Apple iPads and iPhones for mobile executives and sales teams.
Charles Edge, director of technology for 318, Inc., a technology IT consulting and development firm, has authored a new book entitled Enterprise iPhone and iPad Administrator's Guide, which focuses on securely integrating Apple in the enterprise.
“The difficulty of securely and efficiently deploying Apple in the enterprise is that IT teams in most organizations are more familiar with deploying Microsoft solutions,” said Edge. “Even something as basic as opening a Microsoft Word document stored on a server, changing it on the iPad and saving it back to the server cannot be done out-of-the box. Unfortunately, the timelines for most IT organizations are such that they need to have mass integration done yesterday.”
This slideshow highlights how 318’s team is advising clients who are trying to bring iPads and iPhones into enterprise environment.

How the stars aligned against Microsoft at CES 2011 | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
This year’s Consumer Electronics Shows was one of the biggest and most substantive in years as tech companies showed off some legitimately breakthrough products and transmitted a general sense of enthusiasm about the future and the innovations that are coming down the pipeline.
However, one big player that noticeably missed the boat on the big trends and failed to generate much enthusiasm was Microsoft. That’s why I put Microsoft on the losers list in my post on the biggest winners and losers of CES 2011. Some people have questioned that choice, arguing that Microsoft just had a big success with Xbox 360 Kinect and announced Windows 8 for ARM at CES.

CES 2011: The biggest winners and losers | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
The Consumer Electronics Show is the Super Bowl of the technology industry. As much as industry analysts and the tech press whine about CES being too big and being a relic of a bygone era, there’s no better place for tech companies to make a big splash that will be remembered throughout the year, and in some cases for years to come.
It’s also the place where tech companies can jockey for a better position in the market by generating more attention for their product line than a competitor’s. Conversely, companies that don’t make a good showing at CES can risk creating an impression that they are falling behind and risk having their products get lost in the crowd.
As such, every CES has its winners and losers. Here is this year’s scoreboard.

HTC Thunderbolt: Early favorite for best smartphone of 2011 | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
The hype swirling around the HTC Thunderbolt has been building since last fall when rumors first emerged of an HTC EVO-like Android device that was coming to Verizon. Then, that developed into the expectation of a high-powered HTC device would be featured at CES as one of Verizon’s first LTE 4G smartphones. HTC only fueled the hype with its huge billboard at CES (see below) proclaiming, “It’s not your dream phone. It’s the one after that. Coming 1/6/11.”

The 5 Dumbest Management Concepts of All Time | BNET
It’s a truism that “nothing is certain in this world except death, taxes and bad management.” But why? Why does bad management remain so pervasive, even after decades of MBA courses, millions of management books, and billions spent on management training?
The root of the problem lies in five basic management concepts that became popular in the 20th century and continue to propagate stupidity. As long as the business world kowtows to these obsolete management concepts, we’ll be plagued by managers who screw up.
Some of these concepts are dearly held panaceas for much of the business world. Even so, they were ill-considered and ill-conceived from the start, and should be jettisoned for the good of everybody.

Video: Google's live demo of Android 3.0 Honeycomb at CES | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
Google made a surprise appearance at Verizon’s CES 2011 keynote on Thursday, and it turned out to be the hit of the event. Google provided a 10-minute live demo of Android 3.0 Honeycomb in action, running on the Motorola Xoom tablet.
I was sitting in the front row at the event and took this video clip of nearly the entire demo. It cuts off just 30 seconds before the demo ended, but the only thing missing is a brief video call over GoogleTalk and an abrupt closing.
Today’s show-and-tell was a much longer, more in-depth, and more impromptu demo than the 93-second video that Google released on YouTube yesterday. Google actually explains the UI, talks about some of its design decisions, shows how to navigate the tablet interface, and shows off a few of the new tablet-optimized apps.
You can watch the embedded video below or view the HD version on YouTube.

Five Top Mobile Device Risks and How to Protect Your Business | ITBusinessEdge.com
Sue Marquette Poremba has written many times about how the mobile office increases security risks, particularly via the devices that enable us to work from home or coffee shops or hotel rooms.
ISACA, a leading global association for enterprise governance of IT, also sees the risks involved with mobile devices. The organization recently published a white paper, Securing Mobile Devices. Sue spoke with Mark Lobel, principal, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and ISACA white paper project development team member, about the top five risks for mobile devices and the best ways to secure them. He told her this to start:
The definition of mobile devices is any end point, not just smartphones or laptops or USB. Everybody tends to think of mobile devices as smartphones, but we carry data in multiple ways. And they create different challenges than traditional enterprise computing, where everything is centralized and better protected. It's very hard to drop a mainframe, but it is easy for a device sitting in your back pocket to be destroyed or lost.
This slideshow highlights the top five risks posed by the use of mobile devices and how to establish security measures to protect confidential information.
