Just checked out some reviews of the new iPhone features debuted this week, and especially interested in how they will beef up business-user capabilities. My favorite is the Map API, which will make CRM and Google map integration easier than ever – so field support agents or sales reps can easily identify where key accounts [...]

If there isn’t a better example of how opening up one’s business to community development can help buck the economy, than it’s Apple with the iStore. Ethan Nicholas has been receiving some attention online the past few days after the computer programmer lost his job and built a $2.99 game for the iPhone. You can [...]

Just a quick shout out to Paul Greenberg, who writes in his latest (and fast becoming my favorite) ZDnet blog about the seeming dearth of CRM apps built for the Mac platform. Thankfully Paul did note that SugarCRM runs fine on the Mac (and any platform at that). The great thing about truly web-architected applications [...]

I had to share this hilarious video clip from those satire geniuses The Onion. With a perfect pitch stab at the Macworld event going on right now, the piece makes a great statement about how marketing has trumped actual usefulness in some cases when it comes to hip new gadgets… Sad thing is, I could [...]

Apple continues to amaze me for so many reasons, both in the manner in which they drive market innovation with their products and services and also through their keen sense of advertising.

Just a quick FYI to all those Mac denizens that find the Safari browser the only way to surf the web… SugarCRM’s 5.1 release now fully supports Safari. All of my designer friends finally have no excuse for being unorganized… I, for one, could not think of a cooler application for Mac types to utilize [...]

A lot of my more gadget-happy friends are more than excited about the G1 phone…they have been waiting, and waiting…and waiting some more for an actual consumer product based on Android. I think most of the hype or anticipation has been because for some, seeing Apple “fail” or get bested is something they want to [...]

Some very interesting numbers released around the iPhone App Stores first month of operation. 60 Million Downloads. Wow… Apple amazes me for so many reasons. The sheer volume of demand they are able to generate is mind boggling, and they get things done. I can think of another “App Store” that was announced years ago [...]

I have been doing a lot of briefings with partners and media around SugarCRM’s upcoming release as it regards our updated wireless capabilities. And the resounding response has been something to the tune of – “Wait…so it just works automatically from my mobile device?!?!?!” It’s as if people are all too accustomed to complexity, lengthy [...]
