The impetus of this post is due to the fact that our partner and creator of the SugarCon mobile application, CrowdCompass, sent over some cool usage metrics around the event.
The results were illuminating. There were well over 300 users of the application, on just the iPhone alone – with a small number of iPad and [...]

I had an interesting Twitter exchange today with analyst turned social guru Esteban Kolsky. (If you’re not already following him – do so now) I asked the twitterverse what they felt the possibility of “the browser as the desktop” -thinking about how cloud-based software makes desktop operating systems (at least anything heavy) nearly obsolete.
Think about [...]

It has been a busy week here as usual at Sugar HQ, but especially so as we made Sugar 5.5 generally available this week.
Sugar 5.5 has a lot of the typical “cool stuff” one expects for a major product release. The Mobile Studio Editor may be my favorite. SugarCRM has made mobile apps a simple [...]

I just came across a great post that really summarizes how AT&T is single-handily torpedoing the iPhone.
Apple makes a slew of announcements out of its developer conference this week surrounding the upcoming iPhone 3G S and AT&T turns right around and drops a bombshell by announcing a hefty upgrade fee and lack of support for [...]

Just yesterday there was an article in the Wall Street Journal detailing how sites such as Facebook and MySpace work great on smartphones such as the Blackberry and iPhone, but on lower-end devices that lack QWERY keypads or processing power, not so much.
Now companies such as AT&T and Sprint Nextel are attempting to improve access [...]

I found today’s news that the Blackberry Curve outsold the iPhone during the first quarter of this year not surprising. Nor do I think it speaks to disparities in functionality between the two, but to the fact that service and flexibility still outweigh touch screens and gadgets.
Whether you’re a believer that Blackberries are better than [...]

I’ve been checking out Blackberry’s new App World over the weekend – and it has some pretty cool stuff. Of course, being second to the party means that there is a ton of cool stuff on Apple’s AppS tore, and Blackberry will be playing catch up for a bit. But already there are a ton [...]

Not surprising to me, much of the talk both on and off the presentation stage at the Open Source Business Conference yesterday focused on the economy: when and if the rebound is coming, and how open source companies may or may not be poised to benefit the most from the recovery.
But it was a meeting [...]

So, I took the weekend off and went home to Philadelphia to visit friends and family, and made a concerted effort NOT to bring my laptop with me for the long holiday weekend.
It was an experiment – the first, and probably last, time that I travel without my laptop.
First off, during the trip I got [...]
