Adobe gives Steve Jobs a going away present-flash less Flash

Submitted by Richard Cartwright on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 00:19

Anyone who uses an iPad or iPhone knows that they can’t run Flash applications. In fact, Steve Jobs famously called out Adobe last year in an open letter explaining why iOS would not support Flash. In the same letter, Jobs appealed to Adobe to step up its game and move beyond Flash’s processor and power hungry ways. Adobe has responded with the announcement of Flash Media Server 4.5 at the 2011 IBC in Amsterdam. This new technology promises bridge the gap between Flash and iOS powered devices.

Samsung and Microsoft team up to create hardware for Windows 8 Tablet

Submitted by Richard Cartwright on Fri, 09/09/2011 - 00:03

Samsung seems to be hedging its bets with Google and Android by joining with Microsoft to design the next generation tablet computer running Windows 8. Samsung has long used Microsoft’s operating system, but this the first time the two companies have worked together on hardware building a device from the ground up. Several sources have reported that a prototype version of Samsung’s new tablet will be shown at the upcoming Microsoft BUILD conference in to be held next week in California. A few sites have even speculated that there will be a giveaway of the tablets at the keynote event to encourage developers to write for Windows 8.

Not much is known about the latest version of Microsoft Windows other than rumors that it may be able to run Windows Phone applications as well as Windows 7 applications. Samsung is a major smart phone, PC and tablet maker and would benefit with a closer relationship with Microsoft to lessen dependence on the Android operation system. In light of Google’s recent purchase of Motorola Mobility and subsequent statements that Google may start treating its new handset acquisition as first among equals in deployment of Android updates, it is wise to have other options.

Have American Tech Companies lost their way?

Submitted by Richard Cartwright on Thu, 09/08/2011 - 01:03

The last couple of weeks have seen amazing announcements by giant American tech companies. However, all the announcements were linked by how horribly they were handled by the respective corporate leaderships.

First, Hewlett-Packard, in one earnings call, 18 August, 2011, not only killed all production on webOS-based hardware, the Veer, the TouchPad and Pre 3, but effectively killed the future of the webOS operating system. However, this was collateral damage compared to what HP CEO Leo Apotheker did to the Personal Systems Group (PSG), the part of the company that actually makes laptops, desktops, monitors and printers. Mr. Apotheker announced that:
“We see the opportunity for PSG to compete and win in the PC marketplace and our Board has authorized to us explore strategic alternatives for PSG. We intend to evaluate a range of options that may include, among others, a separation of PSG from HP to a spinoff or other transaction.”
