Time for disruption.

“Year of the tablet” you can hear at every corner. But I believe it is far more than a product category highlighting years 2011/2012. The whole development goes far beyond what has happened the last years in technology. Looking at Healthcare with VitaDock App and devices to check your essential body data. Patagonia to promote used clothes on eBay and aiming to be eco-friendly that way. And what about the gaming console? When are they ready for 3D? How many devices do I need in the future in my living room? Homeserver, Hybrid TV… But hopefully all connected with DNLA. Product lifecycles are shortening every year so that it becomes even more important what you have in your product portfolio, and what you can deliver. Woo-hoo!

    Alea iacta est?

    Deutsche Telekom launches Pageplace, MediaSaturn launches MYJUKE.COM, Toshiba launches PLACES. Looks like the industry don´t want to lead these markets any longer by Apple. Books & Newspapers/Magazines, Music, Smart Metering – whatever you suggest, the whole industry is playing hard nowadays. Competition everywhere. 3D TV, Tablets, Ultrabooks – greatest hardware to come for christmas sales. Lucky consumers we all are and a great race where the industry is in!

      New world order?

      After the announcement of Google to become “Googorola” and buying Motorola the whole ecosystem of this environment has to re-think their business models.
      Today we received the information that HP is spinning-off it s PC division. Could this be the end of the vertical integration of HP Computers? Even though the “Googorola” deal forces the established marketplayers to do their homework. Fast, precise and complete. Watch out, you establishment and stay hungry!

      P.S. Nowadays it reminds me a little bit like the time before the first iPhone was released to the public. Keep an eye on “Googorola”…

        Google+ vs. Facebook

        Getting familiar with Google+.

        Quite different story to Facebook but I am happy to see competition on social media – now.
        What´s up, Redmond? Time is running.

        Even if it´s a beta-Version I am missing an App!

        P.S. Has anybody have had a clue about the early 90´s what the mobile device would become? Honestly I must say that in 1992 we have been more than proud to make mobile phonecalls and the first service beside that have been text messages with SMS. Crazy, spending nearly every awake minute with such toys!
